Okay so first of, the new final fantasy is good, considering game play, people dislike it, and say its awful because it brings in religion, the story is chopped up because you can go to later areas so it acts like you're that far in the story, and lightning contradicts her emotions alot, but playing 13 & 13-2 means you should understand most.
Other then that it is a fun game in many aspects, and very much worth a rent.
Now as whoever said darksouls 2 is awful, is really stupid, and doesn't know what a good game is, they probably rage quitted, and it made em hate it.
its harder then 1, better armor, weapons, bosses, and a more fluid and stable connection on pvp, and co-op play.
