He does kinda look Kingdom Heartsy, but then again that's kinda just Nomura's style.

Already downloadable on android, but hitting start only gives me a blank notice screen

It does seem like it would have been pretty easy to keep the close-up dutch angle...

Just as a heads up for anyone with an older phone who is interested in trying the game, you can run it via BlueStacks on PC.
I'm not going to give a complete tutorial here, but enable hardware virtualization, download the latest version of BlueStacks, create a new Nougat 64-bit instance (4 Cores / 8GB / High Performance / Performance Mode / DirectX). Open the Google Play app, sign in, search for and download the game. It'll even create a desktop icon.
Not sure what the minimum requirements will be to get decent performance, but you can try Balanced Performance / Compatibility Mode or lower the display resolution in the settings if it's not running well. The closed beta had some crashing issues, usually after playing for a while or going through lots of menus, which points to possible memory leaks which may or may not be resolved in the launch version. FWIW just based on launching the game it's already running better. In the CBT it would sometimes crash on startup or take a very long time to load.
If you played the CBT, your old BlueStacks instance might not be compatible with the game. I had to download the latest version and create a new instance to get it to show up in the Play Store as a compatible game.

Oh, and if it's not available on the Play Store for your device, here's the APK if you want to try sideloading it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zJmkmtMSUyLcNSRZcdEO8xUnZ5CK3Oqv/view
Might work, might not. If your device is below the required specs you can try setting the graphics to low quality. Might crash frequently if it works at all.

For me that is not a negative.
It might be a bit laggy or it might be my connection. I wouldn’t want to play this on a phone, though. I’m enjoying it so far, but I have to go to work so I can’t stay up all night playing, darn it.

All this gacha stuff and the countless menus and things to claim make my head spin. I hate all of this lmao
My PC is not exactly a gaming rig and several years old but it still managed to run on High settings, albeit framey. Medium works a bit better although it's quite blurry and text and artwork are lower in resolution as well. Briefly tried Ultra and it crashed in the menu lmao
Would probably still look pretty good on a phone screen tbh but I'm playing on a 55" 4K screen
I expected VOs to be Jpn. only but it's interesting that the text is English only. Thought they'd have at least EFIGS localization. Seems to be one of the most demanded things right now in the official Discord.

During the parade of notifications upon reaching the main menu, I let out a big "WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING!?".

It's the worst. Same reason I uninstalled War of the Visions minutes after booting it up, lol.

When I was playing it, The First Soldier featured the worst monetization I'd ever seen. But this... this is somehow worse!?
In the bottom right corner of the main menu, you can earn blue crystals by watching commercials. Like, commercials for other real world apps. I have never seen this before. Maaan, I can't believe I just watched a commercial in a FFVII game.
And then there's the 12 hour deals, engineered to aggressively target your FOMO. The future of gaming is terrifying.

I mean it can only be expected from a game with such a pro-corporate message
