1) Okay, well done Squeenix - a simplified UI and game mechanics to make this an easier entry point into the series for new players. But there is no excuse for quicktime events. Or for the fact that I bulldozed my way through the entire game by mashing buttons at random. And it worked. So stop pretending there’s any strategy elements involved.

2) Don’t call the game world massive if it’s actually pretty average sized and padded with huge swathes of fuck all. Exploring was NOT rewarding.

3) There’s no way to turn off friendly fire. I was okay with that until I found out there’s an accessory that does just that, and you can only get it if you buy the season pass for about half the main game’s price.

4) As a seasoned JRPG veteran I’m okay with the plot and characters but not everyone understands or accepts that Hollywood movie logic > anime logic > JRPG logic.

5) Ignis for king of everything. And Prompto for… uh… actually he’s fine as he is. Sweet baby cinnamon roll.
