Its nice to see a JRPG where characters actually have an literal adult relationship throughout the game.

I hate how a lot of rpgs treat romance, japanese go out of their way not to ever show it and western rpgs were riding off the mass effect sex scenes for over a decade.

this is how goofy I am….

I thought lady beneditka was somehow Clive’s mom. These two bytches looked exactly alike to me. It wasn’t until I saw her back story with Cid that I realized they were different people.

Different hair, different outfits, different personality.

Odin's kit seems kind of ass so far.

lThats how it feels at first, his actual sword and skills don’t blend will with others and they’re weak individually but they’re all jsut about charging up zantetsuken and unleashing a level 5 asap. Its pretty much carrying me through new game +

It clears entire rooms in seconds

Beat this on Sunday. Some quick thoughts.

- Game was padded with wayyyyyyy too many filler main quests disguised as side quests. What was the point in me searching for a girl that works in a brothel that ended up being dead anyway?:dahell:
- I really like the story overall but there’s some plotlines that I think they dropped the ball with.
- Who the hell sent that box to Hugo With Benedikta’s head?
- Wish they would have went into detail about how the hell Joshua survived. :dahell: They briefly mentioned how that girl found him I think but that’s it?:dahell:
- Idk if I mentioned it here or on Reddit but they completely dropped the ball with Benedikta‘s story. :camby: I can’t believe they didn’t do anything with the Hugo-Benedikta relationship outside of that scene from the demo.:mindblown: I don’t understand. Was she in a fake relationship with him or did she really like him?:what:
-The hell were they thinking not putting a sprint button in here?:dahell:
- Did they ever explain why there’s a second Eikon of Fire and why he took over and killed the Phoenix at the start?
- Who or what is Olivier? Was he a real person? That shyt left me confused.:dahell::mjlol:
- Joshua, Cid and Clive are my favorite characters in this. I loved seeing Clive and Joshua reunite.:banderas:
- Jill was so useless it was actually shocking.:laff: She was either on the sidelines being a cheerleader or jobbing to someone.:dead:
-The soundtrack in this is amazing. :blessed:
-That buildup to the first Titan fight was epic and the second fight was arguably the craziest shyt I’ve played in a video game.:whoo:
-The combat is fun as hell, no surprise there.
- I wish there was more “RPG” elements in here as far as items and weapons. I legit just went to the shop and bought whatever the latest weapon and accessories were and restock on potions. That shyt was hella basic.:russ:

I give this about an 8/10. Overall I had a lot of fun. I’m gonna give this an NG+ run sometime in the future. Now the road to FFVII Rebirth begins.:blessed:
