I picked it up back in August and played a bit (got the green wind eidolon I think it was) but stopped and haven't jumped back in due to switching back to Zelda and the fact that Final Fantasy was literally one of the easiest games I've played...ever. It felt like choices/build/gear were completely irrelevant, I never even remotely came close to dying at any point. It's beautiful graphically and seemed to have a cool story/great cut scenes...but does it get more difficult or anything? Just hard to devote my gaming time to an interactive movie that is mindless button mashing. If it gets better I'll definitely delve back in at some point, but so many games have come out recently or are going to be releasing it's tough.
I played it for the story and adjusted the difficulty as such. It was a button masher with some pretty basic combos. Hit one button every five seconds, hit another every eight, hit the last every 13. Mash the others. Seemed like it could be difficult and require some strategy if I upped the difficulty, obviously.
But there's better action games if skill is what you're looking for.
