I came into this game a long time ago only seeing it for it's first 30 mins of gameplay, thinking that it was some sort of desperation act to claw back some fans by changing the writing to service those who see religon above all, but I came back to finish it because it was the only FF game I hadn't completed and after at least another 30 mins I realized that there was a reason for the way it seemed like that (which I won't spoil)

I lost a nights sleep with how good this game was when I gave it some time to settle me into the world, just like the first in it's series it takes a very small bit of effort to look past what the "5 miniute critics" say to truly enjoy the fabula nova series of stories

I wholeheartedly recommend this game as it's battle system is a much welcomed improvement in addition to the "job system" being pretty simple to understand without any job being too "underpowered" at all but one or two *optional super hard end-game tier* boss fights (of which truly test the players skills)

(I'd also like to point out that there is plenty of time to get a "perfect" run the first time, I had 2 days left with nothing to do but hunt Meonektons & Anubi xD)
