I understand the genre shift from RPG to action, but... from what I played in the demo I've already seen other games do the similar things and do them better, so that didn't hold my interest. The story, likewise, doesn't grab my attention; it wears its inspirations on its sleeve, and neither of those really interest me. The problem with taking so much inspiration from other works is that it can end up feeling derivative, and I got that feel from the demo.

Nothing against the people who are interested in and hyped for it, but it's just not a game that was made for me... and I mean that in the nicest way I can.

I'mma just wait for Armored Core VI and VII: Rebirth. (I'm still betting on Tifa dying in this continuity instead of Aerith.)
