Eurogamer has given it a 3/5

I found this to be quite spoiler-heavy. Not that its giving away the end of the game or anything, but there's enough in there that I'm annoyed I skimmed it.
I used to like eurogamer years ago but it's hard to stomach nowadays.
I only read the final paragraph and he seems to critique the game because it’s not what he wants it to be, rather than critique it on the basis of what it is.
But yeah, Eurogamer are shite.
This comes after saying it looked shite early on in the thread
An so it begins...
The reviews are excellent, but the performance mode looks rough. I think I'm going to hold off and wait for them to fix that up a bit. It holds 60 in combat, but drops a lot outside of it.
@Irwin99 you completed it yet?
Ordered mine from Currys for £70 - today dropped the price to £60
Nipped to the store (Currys) got the last copy, returning the other one which is being delivered by RMail probably tomorrow (Fri).

Can we also make sure to apply the spoiler policy please!
Saved Demo lets you skip to parts you've already done - so don't delete the save game data.
This (Put it in the title).
Probably even better for people like me who generally aren’t fans of the series. The action oriented nature of the game sounds like the perfect combination for me to enjoy the series.
Sure. I'm kinda looking forward to the part where
The good guy beats the big evil but not after something goes wrong making it seem like all is lost.
@Damien can you update his tagline
Played a little bit at midnight and just really enjoyed it. Motion blur is not ideal but what I have played I think I am going to really enjoy it.
I'm loving it so far, but Japanese developers should be forbidden to have side quests in their games at this point.
I quite liked the way they did side quests in the FF7 Remake.
Let me guess, the safety of the world is at stake... "can you go collect me 3 purple dildos from the sex shop with magic lube?"
Just got here. Installing now. 
Exactly that.
Can't wait!
Apparently they get much better later on in the game. But yeah those side quests suck.
They do actually provide a bit of world building and lore, which I suppose is nice, but how a game in 2023 still has a, please bring me some wood from the npc in the other room quest is beyond me.
I don't care though, loving this game.
It sounds like it's too late, especially for playing today but Currys have a code FF20 to get 20% off the game. It made it £55.99 when applied.
Jeez dude. Elvis couldn't have been clearer about not revealing spoilers.
It did, that ended Tuesday at midnight. I tried to get it, but it wouldn't allow the payment at the time.
So much leather.
Feel like I should put my leather chaps to really get into it.

I've ruined it for everyone with that reveal
I did the same thing with Zelda - preordered it on Amazon for £60 when it was £50 everywhere on release, including the Curry's store 10 minutes down the road. Was well miffed by that.

Moved on another 3 hours from my demo save this morning. Really impressed with the game and the story is quite gripping already.
Not thrilled to see the main story is only 30 hours long. I expect longer in my JRPG's but let's see.

Only past the first hour so far and I'm loving it. Very Game of Thrones type feel to it. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
Does the day one patch fix the horrific performance we got in the demo?
Just loading it up now.On a slightly shallow note, i hope the plat is easy. Feeling a bit burnt after getting FF VI's last trophy.
It's 3/10 according to that site track difficulty.

I’m enjoying it but the motion blur stuff is giving me a headache sadly.
Enjoying it so far but some of the voice acting comes across a little bit Monty Python at times.
You don’t like Monty Python?
I mean it wasn't "horrific performance" at all but yes it is somewhat improved.
Those frame rate drops are ridiculous
