The barrier to just start is ridiculous – FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS Review

I downloaded this solely because they advertised stuff from Xenogears. Love it and love me a Final Fantasy so thought “Why not?” So, I downloaded it from the app store. Started the app. Download pops up. I think “Extra little download, oh that’s fine.” Then immediately there’s another one. “At least they’re small.” I think. Tap to start “Oh you need to make an account to save progress, ok.” Sign in. “Hmm, another download…” “Ok, surely after this one my game will start.” “No? It’s another huge download ten times as big as the initial one?” I know I could’ve downloaded the final part in the background while playing the tutorial but I wasn’t on wifi and it was just one step too far. I don’t even mind the cell data usage. The game just really needs the large chunk of download to able to be done in the initial download from the App Store. Maybe I’ll try again later, but maybe I’ll just go replay Xenogears.
