Here’s my FFT problems:
1) takes too long to rotate the camera, which you have to do all the time
2) story is dumb (sorry)
3) toooo many clicks! select the character! select where they go and confirm it! select the attack and confirm that, now confirm a direction and confirm that you really want to do it in that direction! etc etc. click click click
4) got to go manually collect everything so if you really want to get all the goods that are dropped you gotta kill everyone buy one guy and then go around and pick up the loot
5) job system = giant shrug emoji
The pixel art, font, and magic effects are all fantastic, and the cute little diorama levels are neat to look at. The rest of the game is decidedly pedestrian, ponderous, slow, and not very interesting, for my taste! It’s not bad! It’s totally fine! But it’s no kind of masterpiece and I truly do not understand why anyone thinks it is! Every game that built/improved upon the formula is better.
So it’s not that I hate the game, I just think it’s fine. it’s okay!
