the game is a **** mess. i can't believe people actually test played this game. there is no story. everything happens without any reason. "epic" cut scenes are nonsensical. when the professional reviewers say the stories are "weak" it's a gross misunderstatement. everything you know and love about the series is good. magic system is crap. party system is crap (only gladios can withstand abuse, the other two will die constantly). there is no equipment system. there are no summons. skill tree is mostly meaningless. combat is OK but not enough to save the game. it is clumsy and requires little to no skill. what's worse is that there's very little combat in this game. mega bosses are QTEs and / or gimmicky boss. in one boss encounter you are basically given super powers and you just hold circle to defeat it--like seriously, not exaggerating one bit. as other reviewers have remarked after the half way point, the game abandons its open world for a more story-focused linear development. this occurs around chapter 9 or something. what people fails to mention is that actually after chapter 9, each chapter consists of like ONE battle. with like trash mobs. and then some nonsensical cut scenes. and then the chapter ends. W T F. seriously, this is a failure on so many levels i really question whether the **** at sqenix even played the game or not. this post is not an exaggeration. this game ****.
