I think this site will be my safe space for the day. Given my experience with the game, I'm expecting a lot of 9s. (My own personal rating would be 9.5, but I'm hardly objective)

 

[Lulcielid]

I´m expecting the story quality to be most discussed and divise thing about the game between tons of critics and fans (granted this has always been the case for every FF game ever, like, no one can agree that VII has the best story or VIII or IX or X or XII so I don´t expect the same with XV).

Have you finished the game?

Yes.

 

[Slaintimez]

Yes.

Liked the story?

 

[Mistwalker]

Finished the game, too. The most moving ending in years.
It's a good game, rest assured of that. I hope it does good on reviews!

I´m sure that most will do enjoy .

Liked the story?

I did enjoy the story. In my estimation, the game is a bit schizophrenic in what it wants to achieve narrative-wise, but overall it works.

What time does the embargo lift? I thought it'd be flooded by now.

The reviews take on the game should be take as opinion of someone, not a fact.

 

[SonOfEtro]

Aww, I was beaten to creating this. Still, the game's getting higher scores in places than might be expected.
