Just finished the FF XVI demo as well. It was bloody amazing! Love the characters and the story. The combat feels really good. My favourite parts were definitely the boss fights as it's here the combat truly gets to shine. It's just so satisfying!
Some of the sections are truly awe-inspiring. My god, imagine playing this game in the 90s. You'd be absolutely blown away! I'm blown away now lol. This is how a modern Final Fantasy game should be.
I've already preordered the game. Cannot wait until Thursday!
I’m loving the new FF so far, but the use of the F word just feels like it’s trying to be edgy and feeling.

It takes some very well tuned mechanics to make a player a low skilled player feel really awesome,
