What goes wrong
Sadly this game is the most boring game i've played in a long time. 1.
The demo has built in switch controller support, but not the full game?????
It's a load of crap. The story sucks, the action sucks and they're trying to ride off the back of nostalgia with REMAKES..
I do wish the game was alot longer similar to octopath zero because of all the years of content that it has on mobile.
Absolutely amazing game. but sadly Denuvo will not let me play on my pc steam deck and steam machine without locking me out of my own game for 24hrs... why is this even on a single player game.

I had a road trip today and when I booted up the steam deck I was surprised to see I needed an internet connection FOR AN OFFLINE SINGLEPLAYER GAME.

What even is this company anymore??? Soooooo much dialogue and cutscene to endlessly skip through.

I downloaded and started playing last night on my PC. Game was amazing. I downloaded it to my steam deck and played it on there before bed too.
This is Final Fantasy in it's purest form...turn based combat was the key to this franchise's success. I played FF7 on the Playstation and the depth, strategy and grinding involved was so satisfying.
This game.... is just chef's kiss... IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Love the art. Love the music. Love the playstyle. Love the story. I absolutely love the interactions between the characters.
