I honestly wasn't sure what to expect with how much people seem to dislike this game. But I adored it. It was refreshing to be part of this crew of teens bantering and slowly discovering the weight of the burden put on them. For at the end, they didn't lose hope. Of course, it isn't perfect by any stretch of the word, but I'd be damned if I didn't enjoy my time spent with this gem of a game.
The combat feels odd at times, but getting the hang of it was fun. It prolly was made with a controller in mind so trying my best to master it didn't yield more than the keyboard and mouse allowed me. In the end, the camera was my biggest enemies, specially when fighting inside areas with plenty of bushes.
The story was captivating. I made sure to watch the movie after finishing the first chapter of the game, As I heard it gave important context, and it was a fun watch (though I admit going "omg it's Aaron Paul" did make me gigle at times). The main plot of the game kept me going forward for I wanted to see what would be of Noctis and his band of brothers. Some character deaths, though not unpredictable, still made me emotional.
Honestly, I think what this game nails the most is when nothing is really propelling the story forward. There aren't a lot of games that make me NOT want to use fast travel just so I can hear the guys talk about something that is happening or just not talk at all. It felt so very comfortable, I really did love it.
In the end, the memories I made along the game got shown on the credits, and I couldn't help but shed some tears. I know people have some gripes with this one, but I'll forever treasure it as one of my favorite Final Fantasy games :)
