Im around 10 hours into the game and so far im loving the characters, story, general tone of the game, gameplay, visuals and the soundtrack is pretty solid too. So yeah, I guess its a good impression so far. Gameplay-wise I think its pretty good and in many ways it feels like what FF15 shouldve been.
I do feel theres A LOT of similarities with Tales of Arise tho, although so far im liking FF16 better.
Im not loving the very little interaction you have with the world around you tho, in terms of exploration I mean. And it seems theres little enemy variety design-wise.
Lowkey Im also not crazy overy the very little customization options there are.
All in all its definitely an improvement over 13 and 15, however one thing I do feel FF15 has over this game is the interactions between party members. Both in and outside of combat, In this game your companions are basically decor and barely participate in the fighting.
