reminds me of Dark Souls 1 in the sense of the first half being pure magic, a type of thing you can never experience for the first time again, and the second half being tedium
its another real good team ninja game, if you like nioh or nioh 2 you'll probably really like this. (Heard PC got a bad port, worked like a charm on PS5 tho)
I never really loved any of the turn based final fantasy games or how they played, but FF9's story is so good that I think I would give it a 5 if it had the worst gameplay ever. You can feel the souls of this game's creators resonate within every moment throughout.
