I've been playing the game for a while now. Way better than the XIII fiasco, but the game just doesn't feel like Final Fantasy. It has far more in common with WRPGs to be honest. Characters are likable, but extremely one dimensional. The biggest problem is the story though. So far nothing has any impact. We are being told rather than shown what happens most of the time. It's insulting. Not showing Lucis fall was a major offender.

That said, it is a good game. Just not the "OMG BEST GAME EVER!" that people have been hyping it up as.
