    Interesting. Curious what the underlying systems are like and how it will feel to play. I know a couple old high school friends that have off and on talked about homebrewing up an FF campaign from DnD5e rules, but if this is good it would be a lot less work to get going. :P

    This is definitely interesting and I look forward to see how it plays.

    At the same time, I remain slightly skeptical, as big brand name tie-in products often tend to be less than stellar. It takes a lot of effort, testing and polishing to put out at truly good TTRPG system and it’s not easy even for big companies that are dedicated to the industry. I’d love to see this succeed and continue to get extra material in the future, but at same time I’ve seen one too many fail trying to do things like this.

    Brings to mind the Dark Souls TTRPG book built on top of D&D 5e, which was a thick tome absolutely chock full of gorgeus art and just as full of baffling, contradictory and clearly not at all playtested rules. Such a shame.
