Anyone else playing the new Dungeon Demo?
So far, it's cementing my nascent hatred of this game. Especially when I had to fight and kill a trio of tiny chibi moogles. They said "kupo" when they died after being stabbed with swords. WTF is this!?
This game still fees like a bizarre and cynical mixture of nostalgia-baiting references to the franchise's previous successes, and jarringly incongruous cutesy styling that only serves to detract from that same nostalgia. Couldn't they pick a theme? Like, either an adventure populated with faithful adaptations of the classic heroes, OR a family-friendly chibi wonderland?
:edit: To say nothing of the seemingly lazy design that's made it into the demo. No Config menu once you're in the game, for one thing. Also, when a member of my party got stuck behind some terrain, she didn't walk around it to catch up with the rest of the team. She just teleported straight through to the other side of the obstacle. FFVIII had better 'party of three moving around together' mechanics than this back in the 1990s.
