My first final fantasy. Won’t be my last! But despite I think this combat being fairly one note and repetitive without much incentive to change strategy other than boredom, it still kept my attention to do all the side quests etc. active time lore was a treat though I think they kinda phoned it in by the end or mine glitched not sure. Overall I see the issues with it but still had a good time. Also game designers cannot leave it to the player to find the fun and just from a strategy that is effective, my combat loop almost never changed cause it was always working I wish there were situations or something forcing me to change strategy in combat.
