  I was very like passive on it until I played the demo, and now im all in. It sparked old memories for me of the older FF games.

  After opening a certain treasure chest and you know who takes back you know what, I was sold.

  I actually played Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and while this game definitely uses some of the bones of that mobile title, it feels like so much more. I absolutely love the look, atmosphere, and overall feel of this game! The fact that summons are referred to as Espers, and then you throw Magitek Armor into the mix… yeah, you’ve definitely got my attention. Final Fantasy VI is my favorite game of all time, so seeing those elements brought into this world hits a very special nostalgic spot for me. I’m loving this game!

  I missed the friendly little towns and new equipment to buy in each one. Felt like a chill space between battles.

  I played the mobile game when it came out.  Glad it sounds like they kept the music. The battle theme slaps

  I was stoked from the moment it was revealed. Then a little put a back that it was a port of Exvious until the words &quot;re-imagined&quot; were uttered in one of the previews. I went into the Demo EXTREMELY hopeful that this is the beginning of something great that could establish a new sub series that is as strong as the mainline. <br><br>After the demo I was not disappointed. I&apos;m about half way through it now (got busy with other things), I have to say I&apos;m extremely pleased. The opening alone really sets the tone and shows what kind of production values we are in for with this game. The updates to the stagger system are also very please and expanded in interesting ways. <br><br>I hope this does result in the sub series I wanted. I&apos;d like to see other games that are more than just this core concept and experiments more and revives old combat designs in this 2D format. Maybe even an HD-3D Something Something format down the line. I&apos;d love to see combat systems like FFX-2&apos;s dress sphere and advance ATB make a return. I&apos;d like to see classic ATB make a come back. A new approach to FF12 and FF13&apos;s combat systems too. Staying focused, if we can get SNES era and PS1 era styled FF&apos;s back in the mix (complete with the voice acting), then I&apos;m sold on this. Especially if it gets me more FF games over a 5 to 10 year period. This waiting 5 years or more for a new mainline game sucks and makes me yern for the days where we were promised 3 FFs in a single console generation. A promise seemingly lost on PS3. <br><br>I&apos;m hopeful this will kick start other projects like a return to FFT and its art style in a new sub series. It would be nice to return to Ivalice or even visit a whole new land with FFT style game play with a new combat designer to reshape what that means. <br><br>This game, scratches an itch. It gives me another game that I so far think is worthy of the name FF. Pushing boundaries once again with new art styles. I really do think fans need to get behind this one.

  I typically just play normal difficulty in most games, however, I found the expert difficulty in this to be really satisfying. Normal felt too easy but expert gives just enough pushback. Excited for the launch!

  🤣🤣. I went through the EXACT same emotional roller coaster; from the trailer, to finding out that it was based on a mobile game, to then checking out the Demo... because what is there to lose if it&apos;s bad? Watching this video was like hearing &nbsp;my own internal dialog. I played it right after it came out and before I knew it the weekend was gone and I had put 7 and half hours into a demo for a game that I was pretty pessimistic about originally. Super hyped on this now though.

  I 100 percent agree with everything you said. The thing that sold me before starting the demo was the music in the opening menu.
