The world always looked good. My problem has always been the combat and the performance.
And despite what people say, i just don't enjoy the combat very much. I can see myself falling asleep playing it. Also, i didn't see enough variety in it to stay interesting for 100 hours.
I'm not hating. I just played the demo and didn't like it. Because its a mainline FF, i will end up buying it. But not before a price drop. At that point i will see if my concerns verify.
