So it's basically one big social media whore. Got it.

Good review, you covered all your basics and reaffirmed my decision to want nothing to do with this game. I too am baffled at how Square could continue this series after most people have expressed dislike to the first game and most of the characters in it.

The sci-fi thing doesn't surprise me, that's come and gone since VII. Or VI? I'm not sure if some of the elements in VI can be considered sci-fi.
