REASONS FOR TRADITION

 

Visions of Mana - https://youtu.be/PcN2m_MBzwA

 

This is a Final Fantasy X remake, isn't it?

 

The short sentence above is my initial impression of the plot. The combat system is almost exactly like the Trials of Mana system, just with menus that are a little easier to work with (for now). It sure would be nice if the buttons matched up, though. When it says to press X, X is the button to press―but its location is not where it is graphically shown to be. For how short this game reportedly is (about 30 hours), I don't expect to get used to the offset before the game is over. The bonus fun of that is that the controls are exactly like Trials of Mana by expected location of button pressed, and with me playing Trials at the same time (for off-stream videos), that is bound to get confusing.

 

I feel sorry for Val. Yes, he gets to go on this journey exactly as he wished, but… at the end of it, he loses the love of his life. And he knows that's coming. Tidus did not for a good part of the journey, and FF X-2 makes it quite clear that Yuna was not willing to accept that he was gone. I wonder how Val will take it?
