Disappointing – FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS Review

I’m a big Final Fantasy fan, and I really enjoy gacha style games, so when I heard about this game I was really hopeful, but ultimately disappointed. The interface feels extremely cluttered. Lots of icons on the home screen that all have a red indicator with a number in it. Usually that means there’s something new, but in this game it means there’s a bunch of stuff they want you to buy. On other screens, like the character screen, there’s so much going on that it can be overwhelming at first. Even something that should be simple, like viewing and changing a character’s gear, seems hidden and overly complicated. Right from the start you get some maxed level, super strong character that takes away all the challenge of the game. I was taking down bosses in one hit. That’s not what I expect from a Final Fantasy game. I ended up uninstalling this game after only a few hours of game play, and much of that was waiting for it to download assets. I picked the option for it to do the download during the tutorial, but I guess it ignores that option and waits until the end of the tutorial to do the download. It was also downloading much, much slower than my internet connection. And even after that huge download, it seemed like every time I went to do something it needed to download another megabyte or two.
