This was a much needed return to when Final Fantasy were great games!
The last several games have been kind of horrible. Since FFX, the rest have been kind of a flop.
But this one brought back everything that was good about Final Fantasy. Great story, amazing gameplay and combat, characters you can get attached too. And, like the best of games, a crazy twist ending that leaves you feeling.
The magic and combat was smooth and fun. The new abilities they added, allowing to teleport around by throwing your sword made the combat really fast paced, which I enjoy.
