I've been FF fan for years... Since the original on the NES. This franchise has turned into a button mashing, bland tunnel runner. There's no tactics here, it's just mash buttons with a few very easy to pull off combo's and then move on to the next fight. Elements have zero advantage, gear is practically non-existent except for dull weapons. Skill tree is completely linear, zero replay value. Been getting more and more disappointed with FF releases year after year. I've finally reached the point where I've gotten so bored that I have absolutely zero desire to see this game too completion. Makes me sad. The visuals / graphics and characters are the saving grace here, the game is beautiful. It's just a hollowed-out, empty, extremely pretty shell of what FF used to be.
