I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Will it get good reviews?
Will it please the fans?
Will it live up to the hype?
Where will it fall in the rankings of FF games?
Of course - there will always be detractors and fanboys. Outliers. And yes, everyone has a different opinion.
But just, overall, where do you think this game will land in the eyes of critics and the general public? Could it land in the 90+ metacritic range and be labeled as one of gaming's absolute best this gen, alongside titles like Bloodborne and The Witcher 3?
Or, will it be merely just "good." Reviewers saying it's fun and a good new track for FF games. But nothing amazing, and a bit disappointing after all the hype.
Or, might it end up being disappointing to most everyone. Reviewing worse than the FFXIII games and seen as a horrible entry after all this time.

It's too early to make any definitive calls - but this game is weird - I think MOST of us can agree it's one of the more difficult games to assess before release. I mean, it's been delayed for ages, and we've seen some terrible gameplay demos and some horrible graphics downgrades. The game has seen a title change, a new director, a change in direction, and just, overall, a rough development.
But as we get closer and closer, things seem to be - almost surprisingly so - coming together. Gameplay is looking better. The graphics. The impressions. The media hype machine. And it almost seems as if we have barely scratched the surface of what is there.
