      I finally got a platinum so I feel comfortable sharing my opinion. I'd hate to admit it, but this game was just a raid shadow legends with pc graphics 😭 the only passable aspect was the story. And a few notable songs from the soundtrack like that titan fight with the sick electronic music! 5.8/10

    Quick tip if you want to platinum the game: GET THE CURIOUSITIES TROPHY BEFORE NG+. It resets all quest progress when you NG+ so if you did them all already and don't feel like doing them again take your save and finish it up before you NG+ as you are likely only missing 2 curiosities. The fifth to last is the Medicine Chest you get from Tarja after finishing all her quests and giving her some ingame time before talking to her again when she'll fork it over instead of just normally getting it at quest completion. The very last one is from completing all the /normal/ Chronolith trials which are mostly just a chore and not terribly hard unlike some of the Final Trials. These trials also get way harder in NG+ so def do this in the normal game.

    Why are more people not talking about this? Even if you don’t think this follows the same path as previous FF games. This game is such a wonderful experience, great story, solid performance, amazing graphics. The combat gets better as you play and that never stops and you can play anywhere from 40-70 hours only to find out the NG+ actually offers a reason to do it. New rewards and upgrades, the ability to fight these amazing bosses using new powers previously locked. Man not only do I love this game more than I thought I would but what an amazing experience

      Poor pacing, uninteresting characters, cool overall plot, mind-numbing flashy spam combat, no proper RPG elements as far as gear goes, an absolutely EMPTY playable space with few creature variety, awful side quests through and through. This game was very hard for me to finish. I ended up skipping a lot of dialogue because they go on and on and on about irrelevant stuff. Like seriously, who CARES about Mids mythril engine?! I can see what they're trying to do with the franchise, and I think the direction is welcome, but the execution was so poor and so very outdated. A 6/10 for me at best. Glad you liked it though.

Little advice. Don't be one. Don't be an xbot either. Be objective. Competition is good, it drives companies to make better games. This game was not a 'better' game imo.

    If they do bring in some DLC... I hope Ultima's big bad older brother Omega shows up. With him bringing a slew of new Eikons such as Leviathan, Asura, Carbuncle, Alexander, Bismark, Diablos, Anima, Zodiark, and Gilgamesh!
    Unlocking the ability to change your limit break depending on which Eikon you have equipped. Adding the ability to select specific party members to join you in your travels, each with their own set of abilities and boons for the party.
    I would also like to be able to go Full Primal with your Eikon of choosing rather than always Ifrit. Additionally in random field battles on occasion a monster should be overwhelmed with Aether Flooding and rage into a giant version of itself, allowing you to go Primal and fight it as well.

    Small correction: 08:07 after beating all the Chrinoliths in NG+ all accessories become available to buy but at different merchants so you might check them one by one if you're looking for something specific.
    And that is only applicable if you sold anything by mistake. However, by the end of my NG+ I literally got everything in the game without buying a single accessory. (Maybe 1?) You definitely don't need a 3rd or 4th playthrough at all.

And those ability specific accessories are the 2nd most expensive things right after the music scores.

    I have to disagree quite a bit that New Game+ changes everything. New Game+ Doesn't really change anything other than you getting all the Eikons from the start. All the equipments upgrade doesn't really make the second playthrough more fun by any mean since we all know that equipments in this game lacks varieties and stats to make them feel any different. The enemie's health is so high in Final Fantasy mode that if you really want do deal any damages, you're stuck with Bahamut's ulti, Odin's Dancing Steel and Zantetsuken, TItan's Wind Up, Ramuh's Judgement Bolt (Basically anything that have 4 stars+ damage rating) or you'll take so much time bringing down mini-boss enemies.
    It's much more fun in the first playthrough as all the skills are somewhat usable and fun (basically can deal decent damages). With New Game+, you're stucked with nothing but those skills I mentioned. Seriously lack of equipment varieties and stats doesn't allow for a fun second playthough.

    This is all great and all....I'm almost at the end. But my issue is that the number of cutscenes and the constant walking to and fro as part of the story saps my desire to play it ALLLLLLLLLLLL again. I'm enjoying it but it's been way too easier and I'm concerned they have just made enemies spongier rather than different movesets or actually more difficult. Instead it just looks like they have a massive health bar and are way spongier. Which makes them take longer to beat. The biggest hurdle for me even though I can skip the cutscenes is the walking and slow sections of to and froing as part of the main story which you have to do. I just can't do it all again. I like many others just wish they'd given us the choice to change up to harder difficulty for the first time round. Cus let's face it, it is a story action game - very linear and the upgrading is severely outdated compared to many other games. Almost makes all these materials you pick up a bit pointless. I feel nothing when I do. I love the combat but the gear etc. is very boring and not really engaging. With it being so linear, it just feels like I'm playing on rails.

    So, play the game again with more enemies, not NEW enemies, just MORE enemies, and get better gear, but not DIFERENT gear, since is just "this sword has more damage than the previous one", there is nothing unique about them, nothing that changes how we play, in the end NG+ is almost the same as the regular game, but with a few more enemies to fight during main missions. I enjoyed the game and all, but the lack of ANY rpg system at all is really sad and frustrating, ive spent the entire game waiting for it to apear and never did, and since the "best sword in the game" has only "more damage" i guess NG+ is not going to change it at all, which is a damn shame.

      Final Fantasy is the last difficulty of the game past the second playthrough,you can't upgrade it further, you can only play the game in Ultimaniac difficulty in arcade mode (always need to be in Final fantasy difficulty to select it)

      I have not gotten to play the game yet and I'm not one to play games twice. But I did play the demo and was hoping a much harder mode would be available first playthrough. That being said, are you able to start final fantasy mode without doing NG+ or previous gear carrying over? Like a clean save file because if that's the case I might borrow a friends and play a clean ng on ff mode.

      @@Def_Not_Batman FF is locked until the game is completed, the highest difficulty available on NG is Action Focused and that poses no challenge. FF Mode is also no challenge, it is only an increase in stats for enemies and nothing else, so fights just take like 30% longer

      @@thomashoward5450 Lol you do you. One thing that helped my gameplay tremendously is switching the gameplay controls to type B instead of type A. If it takes you awhile to adjust to new controls don't do it, but if you can adapt to type B you will get significantly better. It's also way easier on the fingers.

    The only reason to actually play this game is for its incredible story. Doesn’t have much replay value imo. I had to set the battle difficulty to easy just to get through the boring fights faster lol. Eikon battles are pretty amazing tho.
