Also, why are there no RPG elements? I wasn't too sure ... until I killed a bomb with a fire attack. Sigh. It's like XIV all over again.

I like the game, I enjoy the dark tone, the combat is great but... as an FF it's barely anything I come to love about the series. The last good FF was XII, honestly. I was hoping for something similar but with DMC but... I kinda stopped exploring. A sword that's +2 Str or crafting stuff is not worth my time.

As a game, great. As an FF... I'm very divided.
Yeah that's exactly what a lot of people are saying.. I put my FF hype down for a minute and think about what I'm playing. Realize some things just don't feel good unfortunately. Some of the game design is questionable. I can only be so excited for +5HP, 2 gil, Blood Hide, Fangs so many times.. It feels like fluff. The FF stuff feels like they're tacked on you know? Like they shouldn't really belong, so in some scenarios it'd be best to just not have them at all.

There are some high highs, but these lows and thoughts of what could have been are kinda.. Eh.. It don't feel good in the heart. Still a good game overall, but I don't think $70 is worth the gameplay when I know people would enjoy it almost just as much as if they watched it. Maybe more to be honest. Like if Jojo over here is having a blast watching it? Maybe that's the way to go. Can't be disappointed in a game only giving you 2gil for exploration if you just watch it as a movie. lol
