When Square Enix says that they're making a new Action RPG, this game flashes into my mind and I sweat bigtime.
Just feels awful to play and misses the whole point. Can't even blame the hardware because Monster Hunter released on the 3DS in stride. Like, this is the perfect example of saying something in the brainstorming phase and just not at all thinking about how it's supposed to work functionally. Just making something and hoping it sticks.

I never played Monster Hunter but I have played and enjoyed a series that heavily takes from it, God Eater, so when I saw that Final Fantasy did something similar I was curious.
Maybe because my only experience with the genre was God Eater I was expecting just a bit more narrative but no, you create your character and are thrusted into the action.
The action, however, feels kind of repetitive from the get go and unlike Monster Hunter or God Eater the enemies lack that sense of "wow, big monster, want to kill it".
Maybe for those that like Monster Hunter this will be great but as a God Eater player and a Final Fantasy fan this was not for me

A lot of people seem to be dissapointed by this game after comparing it to Monster Hunter, which is completely fucking nonsensical considering this couldn't be any more clearly a diablo clone.
Sadly I'm not a fan of this genre and Explorers didn't do much to convert me with its repetitive quests, simplistic enemy moves, overly drawn out boss battles, sleep inducing difficulty, plain level design and a bafflingly worse take on Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep's command styles.
I do appreciate how many skills and jobs the game gives you at the beginning, and it does look like a fun game to play with a group of friends with different roles, but with so many other games like it I don't feel much urge to keep playing it
