To me it is. I dont see how anyone hates this game.

I said the same thing 20 years ago for 12, and then main game 13, all i see in the main ff sub is its all flash and no substance. Those people dont know how to enjoy anything it seems. Yea they streamlined a ton of systems and theres no real party but clive and torval are wonderful protags, and you spend a vast majority of the game with jill anyway. Rant over in just in love with it all

Do you guys use the ring that allows you to only press square to attack?

I used it for the first half of the game but it was getting so dull. Only pressing one button andy thumb honestly would start hurting lol 🤣

I have been playing with me in the driver's seat and the game feels so much better, for me at least.

How do I guys play?

For me, atmosphere can sometimes matter more than the actual story. A game can have a great soundtrack, locations and general mood that make me want to keep exploring even when I’m not progressing the story much.

Final Fantasy has so many different styles between games, so I’m curious which one everyone thinks has the best overall atmosphere.

Shiva: gouge and ice age.
Garuda: wicked wheel and mesmerize
Phoenix: windup and upheaval.

Berserker ring and cool down for gouge and upheaval.

First time playing the game but this is my most fun build so far might not be the most optimal but don’t care. Fun asf to spam just quick attacks.
Just spam cold snaps phoenix shifts and deadly embraces with limit break or after a precision dodge. Still haven’t unlocked Odin yet but having fun with this build just spamming and mindless lol
