After a few days in i've decided to drop this and I uninstalled it.

I just absolutely hate the controls I don't even care about where I come in the matches, but when a camera angle impedes your user experience so you can't adjust fast enough and accurate enough it complete ruins the experience and I just really dislike the controls this is after practising with the different jobs roles and styles and I just can't work with it.

The screen is too cluttered for my liking and for me the whole thing just doesn't work on a phone, I am really not enjoying the matches either i've tried to get on board with the BR style but its just not me, so I gave it a try but sorry SE I'm out on this one.

I tried it a bit. I did one match and got 2 kills (which is a lot better than I've done on COD, Apex, or Pubg) but also didn't place very high.

The use of FF elements like magic and job specializations make this stand out on its own from other Battle Royales. I like how you can fight monsters on the map, that's really neat. That said, I agree with Sprites when I say that the controls don't feel all that great. The map feels really bare compared to the big 3 that I've mentioned.

I think this has the potential to be good maybe. I'd have to give it a year or two for it to be developed and patched more before I give it another try.

Playing in fucking backwards land with a PS5 controller, I can sympathize with being frustrated with screwy controls. At least I'm using a controller, I don't think I'd be as satisfied with the experience if I were entirely reliant on the touch screen. It's far too cluttered with the interface and your own damn fingers getting in the way of trying to see, and trying to manage so many things with the gameplay that require precise movements.

Like, it's cursed, trying to attack with your fingers while also being attacked. Controller support is vital for this. Furthermore, they need to hurry up and fix this PS5 controller issue :monster:

What really makes this work is that the game seems generous. It's obviously monetized, but not annoyingly so. Grinding to level up isn't too hard either. Just play, and win or lose, your job class gets leveled up. And the season quests aren't too hard to do either. I suck bad at this game but at least I can do something and not just rely on trying to win the BR aspect.

I really can't understand how am I supposed to fight AND adjust the camera angle at the same time. I keep slashing randomly the air without understanding where exactly is my opponent - obviously dying in a matter of seconds.

I've seen a couple of tonberries... and immediately been killed by them lmao.

I actually love exploring the map though?There's some really cool stuff, like these ruins out on the edge with loads of water and flowers growing around, and it's satisfying exploring an (admittedly simplified) version of midgar without having to go through loading screens. Plus finding places that are important in the Remake usually rewards you with a chest or good items, and it's interesting seeing what's there and what isn't e.g. Madame M's place, Corneo's mansion and 7th Heaven are all there, as is the orphanage complete with moogle flower design on the wall, but I haven't found aerith's house and am not sure it's there. I assumed it would be "house with greenery" on the map but that doesn't seem to be the same place.

Highest I've ever placed in a match, and managed to kill 3 opponents, all melee style. Got me a new title to boot.

This is probably obvious, but my dumbass just now realized it today...

Warriors excel in closed off, indoor areas. The tighter you can box in an enemy and go sword-chucks on em, the more likely you are to kill them and survive. :monster:

It took me running around in the open wastelands and trying to frantically chase someone shooting at me to make the connection. :wacky:

Also met a Tonberry for the first time. It brought me down to 1 HP and I promptly ran the fuck away. Also found Comet materia in a chest.

This game is hilariously fun, despite it being just BR with FFVII stuff. It's like a rush, I don't know how else to describe it. Definitely feel I'm getting better with more playing. However I'm still ultimately playing with a handicap thanks to controls being fucked up and no way to use materia unless I look away, turn to my phone, and then touch my screen. Which of course doesn't work in the heat of battle. Still, my warrior is now Level 10, and Threaten is a pretty cool skill.

Actually tempted to get the Season Pass.

My phone can't run this....my phone's charger port is also pretty banjaxed...I mean...I wouldn't go and buy a new phone just to play this or anything...If I did it would totally be because I can't live with the inconvenience of having to wrap the charger wire around the phone to get it to charge...Totally...

Make me a muthafuckin' Tsviet, Shinra.

Because the hunt has ended, and I'm the last monster standin'.

I came. I conquered. I came again. :awesome:

My first win.png

Yes, I won while chatting on the phone while playing. :monster:

All of my kills were melee kills.

Thanks to playing so much, I deadass memorized where most chests and upgrade vending machines were in the area. So I raided as many chests as I could come across, accumulated gil and upgraded all my shit. Proceeded to then kill a bunch of other people, completed special orders, and got max leveled before Phase 3. Then proceeded to just... Ambush and strike.

I'm the sick opportunistic psychopath who creeps along, looking for combat between candidates, and once they're done, I kill the poor bastard who's still reeling from their just fought battle. >3

Made sure to stay indoors or with cover as much as possible to avoid sniping and magic bombardment. The "Threaten" skill at max level really fucks up players because they slow down hard, leaving them easy to kill.

Even with a PS5 controller working all weird, I managed to do this. You really do get better with experience. I seriously can't believe I came in first place in a fucking Battle Royale game. I'm still reeling in shock at this.

Holy shit this was fun. Like, I can see why so many people like this kinda game lol

Now give me a color, Shinra. GIVE ME MORE POWAH!!!!!! :wacky:

I mean, why carry a sword if you're not gonna use it, right? I didn't join SOLDIER to shoot a gun; I could a be Turk or Infantryman for that! :wacky:
