I follow a Final Fantasy group on Facebook and so far it's been a divided decision on the game. You either really enjoy it or you don't like it at all. For me, personally, I tried the free demo out about a month or two ago on my PS4. Graphically, it's a beautiful game. As far as the live action combat and everything I experienced it was just kind of "meh" for me. It's a generational thing I honestly feel is the problem with the fan base. I grew up in all of the 90s. So I played VI on the SNES. Then I played VII - IX on the PS1. And X and XII on the PS2. I'd say right when I got up to the PS3 era and XIII came out I slowly but surely lost interest and hope in SE's future as a gaming developer for my age range and group. I like the old school ATB battle system and materia or leveling up systems. I liked the turn based system in X. It started getting annoying in XII where I had to rely on the computer with the "gambit" system to make my fights manageable. I didn't feel like I was in full control of the fighting and it's been a turn off ever since when XIII came out. And it seems that's the route they're going. Which is a shame. Because I am really looking forward to the VII remake but if it's going to be all fast paced, rotate this guy in and out mid-battle and jerky and jumpy all the time in battle I don't think I am going to be able to get into that.
