Anemos wins round 1... Bozja Southern Front is so much worse

[RTX3080]

I didn't expect a regression but here we are. There are so many things wrong with Bozja that I don't even know what to say.

1. Anemos looked far prettier than BSF. In Anemos there is a huge variety of landscapes - forests, hidden ravines, murky caves, freshwater everywhere... In BSF the landscape is just ruined cities and WW1 trenches... At least the Rank 10 critical engagement looks nice enough. Everything else though... URGH.. murky brown

2. For some reason it's not even optimal to do the relic within BSF. So what is the point of doing BSF if it's faster to do the relic outside? Please MASSIVELY increase the drop rate of the relic items because in Anemos every single NM gave you crystals.

3. Cutscenes, cutscenes... Everywhere. Why the heck are there so many cutscenes? It completely disrupts the flow of BSF and I have to spend so much time watching cutscenes that I missed so many critical engagements. Make the cutscenes shorter!! No one cares about the story.

4. Red Chocobo and Castrum is too damn difficult! Have you ever seen a wipe in Eureka because I sure haven't. How did these two fights pass QA?

5. 1v1 fights. You usually see around 20 people queueing for the 1v1 and only one person gets selected. So you only have a 5% chance to do the 1v1 challenge? Why are we adding RNG on top of RNG?

6. Purple Hrothgars. Why do NPC Hrothgars look like Joker clowns? Give them normal brown/dark skin please. Who the heck thought purple Hrothgars or green Hrothgars looked attractive?

7. BSF takes 4 hours to complete. Anemos took 2 days. We're getting far, far less content...

8. You have to do Castrum Lacus Litore 165 times to get a full set of relic armor. Is Square Enix crazy?



Rating:

Anemos: 7/10
Bozja Southern Front: 5/10

Let's see if Square Enix can improve next round.
