(This review will only go over gameplay, I will not mention any gacha or story.) Im a fan of the combat in this game, it’s easy to understand and the whole purifying crystals thing is a cool thing. I didn’t quite understand the moba aspect though. Roles are also easy to understand. Theres a lot of ways you can go with building a character in this game. the UR ability’s in this game are made quite well and they have lots of diversity. But, there’s some concerns I have. First, on the FFDD database, the levels for abilities can go to some absurd number like 130+ or something. This could be a little overwhelming especially in late ranks because fights could go down to who has the most level up materials. Also, to get these abilities leveled up, you have to pull copies, a lot of copies. This is fine for N, R, and maybe even SR abilities, but when we get to UR this can be a little problematic. You would have to pull 30+ of one UR to get the ability to max level. Mind you, Theres like 40 UR’s in this game with the realease of more characters comming out next month. But I will take it with a grain of salt. The game is still new so idk how frequently URs will be given to players. The only way right now is to pull them. GREAT GAME THOUGH I recommend giving it a try if you’re a fan of final fantasy or if u and your friends are looking for an easy game to play!

It takes very little time for the game to get going and to start enjoying matches. You can play with your phone just fine but if you want to take it a step further a controller can almost make it feel like a main line Dissidia entry albeit with much shorter simple matches. The gacha at this time of launch isnt so bad. You get to reroll your first pulls as much as you like. I HIGHLY recommend you choose a character you will play in this game (Cloud is likely easiest) then reroll until you get Both UR abilities for him or another character of your choice. From there you will have a super strong character to dominate matches. Another word of advice. I have achieved a high rank in ranked. Do not believe the tierlists out there. Character such as Prompto for example are being called trash on tierlist and it could not be farther from the truth. You must leverage each characters specific strengths. Some characters are certainly stronger than others, thats obvious once you fight higher skill players with better characters in higher ranks. But the disparity is less pronounced in lower ranks.

TLDR; this game is not a battle royale. Theres specific mechanics to be successful but a vast amount of other players disregard that fact and seem to play like it’s a full on PVP. You CAN attack others but that’s not the intended way to complete the match.So this game is beautiful. Love the graphics and the story itself, though somewhat disjointed and out of the way, is nice. My biggest problem are other players. The way the match goes is 3v3. There are crystals on the map that have to be purified and once you get enough ‘blessing’ points, you can go into burst mode and fight the boss after it shows up. The only way to do damage to the boss is having to be in burst mode. Then there is the other team…. Instead of competing to kill the boss, these other players will constantly attack your team, preventing anyone from being able to fight the boss. Then there is whole match is lost except for the opponents. I get it’s 3v3 but the point of the battle is to try and stop the enemy monsters. People are playing like it’s a full on 3v3 death match. If that was the case then get rid of the whole system and let people fight each other. You can’t do ANYTHING the way the game tells you when you’re constantly attacked. It’s such a waste and infuriating why people can’t play the way it was intended. Unless you pay to get the best abilities then your progress will be horrendously hampered by players treating the matches as a battle royale.

They just come up with smth that maybe…. Just maybe will be a fun fast paced action collecting pvp style title. It’s smth I don’t really want….. and I am not sorry. It’s nostalgia bait and I fell into it and just dropped the game after a couple rounds. unless it’s a turn based strategy rpg, and if you know just like record keeper, they should of copied and pasted all those weapons to collect from each franchise of final fantasy to give them ultimates, costumes to boost stats, turn based strategy adventure for each of the final fantasy map, free character events for weapons or costumes to collect and with modern graphics instead of 2D. I’m just upset square, I miss those brain busting, long intended grind of leveling up, and exploration of past games. Just a bit of square, mixed with now modern PHONE (star rail, fate, star savior) type rpg, but with a bunch of quality of life costumes and weapons that give you more Ultimates and stats for our favorite characters, with pvp, show off any of our favorite final fantasy character since ther are 100s, and some auto play feature for longer grind events will be sure to give you and a team of great people to stick around for years! I wish I had the ability to make a game like that, Do you? Please square just look into it. I will always be a fan!
