Don’t believe the trolls. This is the real deal. Played the original and it was the first video game I ever loved. Someone at Square Enix finally remembered that the most important part of Final Fantasy is the story. Kudos.
It is a bit linear. But it was so beautifully done that I didn’t mind. This is a 40 hours game based on the part that I usually rush through to get to the open world stuff and it was so much fun I barely noticed.
If you hate this game then you are the problem. They make games for people with zero imagination, like Call of duty. Give that a try and shut up about this game.
