Wow. This is so grimdark it would make Shadow the Hedgehog feel depressed. And just as a reminder: these guys and this guy are from the same setting, somehow.
My thoughts exactly. This is like Coldsteel the Hedgeheg with slight modifications, so hard being edgy and wanting to “kill Chaos”. The main protagonist looks like an alternative character design for Dante from Devil May Cry.
And where’s the Final Fantasy in this? This all feels reminds me of “darker and edgier” reboots from over a decade ago. Team Ninja can do better, they don’t have to rip off Devil May Cry.
Funny you should mention Devil May Cry. When I saw the main protagonist, my first thought was “This guy is basically discount Nero”. Just goes to show that Square-Enix have absolutely no clue what to do with the Final Fantasy franchise.
