John really liked the story and had high praises for the acting and music. Other things that stood out:

• Lighting (especially in dark or interior shots).
• Material quality.
• Shadow detail.
• Incredibly fast loading times.
• Highly polished.

Some complaints:

• Combat can be a bit repetitive.
• Some water bodies are unimpressive.
• Upscaling solution needs some work (internal resolution is also pretty low).

I’ve yet to try the demo on this but the game does look really cool. I wasn’t a fan of the combat in FFXV and FFVII Remake so hopefully this feels better to play.
