John really liked the story and had high praises for the acting and music. Other things that stood out:
- Lighting (especially in dark or interior shots).
- Material quality.
- Shadow detail.
- Incredibly fast loading times.
- Highly polished.
Some complaints:
- Combat can be a bit repetitive.
- Some water bodies are unimpressive.
- Upscaling solution needs some work (internal resolution is also pretty low).
I've yet to try the demo on this but the game does look really cool. I wasn't a fan of the combat in FFXV and FFVII Remake so hopefully this feels better to play.
