The thing with FF games for me is the story. I never know what the hell is going on, but I blame that on bad translations. They're probably great in Japanese. I played the demo and the narrative for me was ' what the hell'? It did look and play fantastic though and like someone else said I'll wait and maybe pick it up for a tenner.
Are you sure that its' the translations that are "bad" and not that the storytelling isn't what you are used to?
I've never seen an Asian movie or game where I didn't understand what was going on BUT the story/storytelling presented me with something I found odd or something I wasn't used to.
As an example (and not asian) A show called "Altered Carbon" was recommended to me. I ended up watching it with a friend but the entire time she just looked at the screen wondering what was going on. I kept telling her "we don't know yet, that will most likely be revealed".
However, she doesn't like storytelling like that and it was lost on her (and thus we ended up watching something else).
Point is, sometimes a narrative is presented in a way that we are not familiar with or not used to and that can throw us for a loop unless we sort of adopt a bit of a paradigm shift in how we experience the story.
Change or even hold our expectations and allow the narrative to do its thing.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Denuvo killed the game for me, I have a massive collection of every Final Fantasy series going up to like PS2, and some on Steam, but not buying anymore Square Enix titles until Denuvo is removed because all it does is hurt the paying customer, decreases PC Performance by taking extra resources when Multitasking, and may not be playable in the future just like Securom... All Denuvo does is hurt the customers who actually buy the game, and prevents modding from fans who like to mod their own games, Just Google Final Fantasy XV Denuvo, what happened before it was even released.

Looks like Denuvo doesn't change the games performance at all. So now what will be your rhetoric?
