This might be the best game ive ever played.

[TERRØR♕]

The story , the characters , the art direction, the plot twists , the music , the combat , the jrpg elements idk what to say. I am really mind blown from what i just experienced. Im so sad its over.

I played it and finished it on xbox gamepass but ill defenetly buy it on steam too soon. Amazing work. True talent

It's on the list of best games I've ever played too. I wouldn't give it number 1 though personally, there's just too many damn good games out there.

Glorified linear movie without player agency and QTE as the core gameplay.

Definitely the same for me. It's been many years since i've seen a game with such an enjoyable story / gameplay

Not really.

Has zone exploration, explorable world map that you can roam around freely, many extra zones to also explore that aren't directly tied to the main questline, plenty of side quests, multiple endings, build variety and team varities/synergies...

QTE is a big part of the combat though, I'll grant you that.

Exactly 2 endings which are both manually decided in the end rather than being a consequence of something you did through the game and both of which cheapen the world because it is not real.

Combat is based entirely on QTE. Be bad at QTE - fail any battle including tutorial. Be good at QTE - win any battle including the hardest bosses.

Is that bad tho? Maybe not for you yes but doesnt mean anything. I found it really unique with the team combinations , the one completing the other and still needs a fair good amount of skill and strategy.

Also games arent just fightning uga buga , they are like books , u play throught someone's novel.

Yes. Maybe it is a good movie, but a bad game.

Playing through novels is a lot more enjoyable in Pathfinders, Rogue Trader, Fallout 1-2, Dragon Age, Mass Effect and so on.

There's people beating the game without ever using parry or dodging btw. Those are more reactive though. Jumping is also reactive but includes a warning icon on enemies so I guess you could call that a QTE, technically. People beat the game without jumping too though, hmm... most of the real QTE stuff is baked into when you use a skill. You can ignore those and still do some damage, or you can enable auto QTE in the menu. Eh I dunno. Maybe this isn't your type of game.

Really? The starting mime in tutorial kills like 90% hp if you facetank it. You have to engage in QTE even in tutorial.

I dread to think about the future of gaming when QTE movies are lauded as good games.

You definitely do not have to fight the mime. I'm beginning to see now that I shouldn't take you seriously.

Between glorified QTE movie and the game with actual gameplay, I would choose the latter.

It is the first enemy you encounter and which is designed to teach you combat. Come again?
