Well, played for 12 hours straight. Game is great.
Zones are very quickly not FF13 style linear and more like FF12.
Story and boss fights are amazing.
Battle System is decent once you get the second Eikon, assuming you can eventually equip more - maybe four? Looks like there'll be lots of build variety and it is fun.
Gear is a non factor so it's like that in most FF games.
Difficulty is spiky depending on if you have potions or not, and you don't have them on Phase 2 of the 3rd boss in a row after a full dungeon full of enemies.

Switch my TV into "rpg mode" instead of "fps", and for some reason, the motion blur while in Graphics mode seems less? Dunno, looks and runs great now. I would say I've just finished the first Act of the game, and saw a funny cutscene:
Some dev's really liked the movie Seven.... whats in the box! haha. Anyway, someone is pissed off.

i can't tell the difference between all the white women who have the same haircuts and look like their name is Karen. Mom Karen, Motorboat Karen, and Horny Garuda Karen are at least three so far
how the heck do Japanese players tell all these white people apart

That is where I got up to.
I knew instantly what was in the box. I had this terrible sense of dread and morbid curiosity that they were actually going to show it. Surely Cid didn't do that? I like that there's an element of distrust towards him from the player now.
On other things:
I like how going super saiyan fits FF perfectly, I was like "shit, that's a limit break!" and it turned out that it was.
The ancient ruins were great, I like how it's almost Geiger-like porcelain instead of machinery. Fairly original stuff. Guessing the figure on the destroyed mural is Greagor and our final boss? The initial room with the pool made me think "Mako Reactor" and the crystal stuff after is going in that direction.
The devs clearly watched Attack on Titan but the branded and their curse also builds on FF13's plot. Not sure how the nobles are different to branded other than the Dominant part, how does Clive's blessing of the phoenix fit in?

Guessing that’s the first time she’s been blown away by enormity while you were in the room.

Could have played it all day today, but I was working on RL. I got like 2 hours in yesterday, got up to where you meet Cid.
The big question I have right now: Do you ever get to play as anyone besides Clive? In FF13 I liked playing as Fang. FF12, Ashe and Penelo. Didn't like that FF15 had you playing as the one dude (my least-favorite of the four) for 95% of the runtime.

I am loving zelda but it feels evolutionary vs revolutionary. And the sparse story and bite size objectives have made it an easy to pick up and put down game where I never feel lost when I get back in again. That’s pretty exceptional from a design perspective but has its detriments. I’m also stating at a 100+ hour playtime vs FF16 which will probably hit for me at 40ish since I’m not a completionist slave.

Generic random fights and 1v1 boss fights on a circle/rectangular platform don't make use of the environment/terrain or highlight all of the absurdly awesome scenery when we are focused on a fight with an over the shoulder FOV. But eikon fights do, and cutscenes can so that's why they are spread throughout with "cinematic action" so they actually get to make proper use of the art and all the manhours that went into them.

Well the good thing is it seems really minimalistic so far. You just get items for “crafting” which all that does is slightly boost existing items stats. I haven’t even used it and I’m doing fine.
