The report also added that it does not offer any additional difficulty levels beyond Easy and Normal while the enemy has also remained unchanged.
Meanwhile, past reports claimed that the game gathered negative feedbacks specifically on its poor magic system and rotten combat camera, which is very vital in the game's combat system as it tracks players, enemies and the action entirely. While "Final Fantasy's" endgame is full of extra challenges and intense secret dungeons, the minimal checkpoints and save points or none of it gives players a potential to be sent to square one, all progress and experience reset, Trusted reviews added.
However, Polygon reported that even though the game shoved the hardest dungeons to its players, there are shortcuts and tricks that save players the 10-hour play game.
