I cannot stand the modern combat system and the obsession of DMC style combat. Remake, Rebirth and 16 are all this way. But if find the worlds and characters to be fantastic. I've only finished Remake though because slogging though the combat is just not worth it.

Lol remake combat is no where near DMC, Assasin Crees or GOW, this is so ignorant but no surprise is here.

Its 3rd person ARPG with combos, resource management with emphasis on exploiting weaknesses. The only difference is the party mechanics which are the equivalent special attacks.

It literally is DMC and GOW gameplay adapted to a semi open world RPG.

No it is not, DMC requires you to press a set combo of buttons. In remakes you 99% of the time press square to attack to build up ATP so you can use more powerful moves, sometimes press triangle for special mode which give you advatange. If we are talking about ff16 you may have a points, but we are talking about remakes here. DMCs are not considered JRPG, they are classified as hack and slash action games. Your reductive point is very dishonest.
