It has thus far been worth the wait. From the very first seconds within the title screen, I was treated to the timeless 'Prelude' piece, the quintessential Final Fantasy tune. Since I didn't play any of the 8 or 16-bit titles growing up, my first exposure to a Final Fantasy game was via the original VII game back in 1997, though I had been aware of the series before that with Final Fantasy III/VI being a prolific title in gaming mags at the time.
The combat is fast-paced and actually strategic, which I couldn't really gleam much off of from the few pieces of gameplay I watched over the years. I'll always take turn-based combat in a Final Fantasy game over an Action RPG system, but what they do here is pretty cool in how they incorporated the ATB into real-time combat. Much like Secret of Mana did way back when.
