Tbh I would take the plunge and get it.
It's an incredibly 'Adult' Final Fantasy with an amazing story. The action is slightly repetitive at the begining but as you get stronger going through the story you end up with more powers than you know what to do with (fortunately there is a highly customisable training mode to try out your new powers and come up with a skill set that suits you!).
I'm pretty sure this game will win Game of the Year awards!
There is a demo if you want to try before you buy. Your progress carries onto the main game, too.
It's definitely worth a go, it's an incredible game and worth every reward it gets.
Great write up! I feel the same way and I'm more upset that choice is being taken away from us. I've always loved Bethesda games and I was so excited for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 on PS5 (especially with haptics!) and now I have to convince the wife that having ANOTHER bulky box under the tv is important...wish me luck!
Self-Promos tend to be insta-ban due to how spammed and intrusive they used to be and still are. It's one of those "everyone gets the same treatment" situations.
I created the askreddit that asked for alts to Reddit and decided to try this recommendation! Looking forward to giving this a go!
