I haven't had any interest in FF games since the original 7, but I played the demo after I saw it on the store just for fun. I think I'm gonna buy this one.
Other than some gripes and annoyances, it's fucking fun. Closer to dark souls combat than the weird ATB stuff they've had for a while.
The writing is surprisingly okay, albeit with some cringe lines here and there and and overall trope-ey lore. Some of the exposition actually didn't feel totally out of place!
My biggest concern is about grind, as is the case with much of the series, but we'll see I guess.
