  • I had the same reaction to it, but ended up buying it after looking into some gameplay. I’m glad I did because there’s a really enjoyable game outside of the “sex appeal.” Combat is good and fun, there’s an interesting story there too. My only major complaint is that about 2/3 or 3/4 through the game it turns into a boss rush, and almost feels like the devs ran out of time or budget so cut some story.

    As for the community, it’s easy to get around that by just not taking part. I’ve avoided it for the same reasons you’re not wanting to play. It’s a shame there too because I imagine there’s well meaning people who truly love what the game has to offer outside of fan service, and would love to discuss lore, etc.







  • If you’ve played Revenant Wings then maybe take a look at other games in the Ivalice Alliance series - XII may be the more appropriate choice as RW is its sequel.

    Otherwise I’d consider one of the more turn-based ones to get a flavour of those FF games. FFX is probably going to be a top choice there and you’re already looking at it, but there’s plenty of good ones to decide from. My favourite is VIII but that doesn’t mean it’s the best for you. IX is a common favourite that you might also enjoy. And FFVI from pre-PlayStation era is another common favourite.
