Personal thoughts -Very odd marketing that made me thing it was a serious lore heavy GoT clone, PS exclusive, barely an RPG with no big thing that pulls people in like Midgar or the cast. (Got no idea who the cast is aside of Clive, meanwhile, everyone and their mother recognizes at least 2 or 3 FF7 or FFX party membersaside of Cloud & Tifus) Clive being put in T8 and the director going into powerscaling saying Clive beats Dante instantly rubbed me off too.Heck, there was barely any interest for the Clive vs Dante Death Battle episode in the FFXVI reddit. All who remotely cared about that were Dante fans wondering who even commissioned / asked for it.
It is a lore heavy GoT clone at least until halfway. I'm not surprised the marketing leaned into that. I'm surprised they dropped it for something much simpler and more generic.
