    Thoroughly enjoy the game. Not my favorite FF but still a wonderful play through. Wish the deluxe cane with more. Got a steelbook and map, nice but nothing amazing.

    What preorder bonus?

    Note: This is not a review of the game itself, which is an excellent experience, if not average linear action RPG. Top tier graphics, sound, story, and combat system. RPG elements are mostly tacked on and forgettable (item and crafting system). Game world is mostly made up of very linear battle segments. Some areas have branching paths, but Witcher or Zelda this is not. Stay for the story and combat. Not sure how much replay-ability there is, even with NG+. At least gameplay options let you steamroll the game for the story if you don't want to engage in the combat. Terrible preorder experience with Best Buy and didn't receive the advertised bonus steelbook. Search online and you'll find this issue was wide-spread. What available stock of the bonus merchandise was randomly assorted to preorder customers and the rest were assigned a digital bonus (which as of 6/30 still haven't received). This isn't to also mention there was no release day shipping having received it days after. This is a real shame as I've have gotten Best Buy preorder steel books in the past and was highly anticipating this release. Never again! Avoid!

    Framerate is bothering a points as it dips noticobly. However, the game is full of lush enviornment and memorable fights with intense combat. I woild recommend it
