Engine - Luminous Studio, Composer - Yoko Shimomura
- Wildly different take on the series that embraces free-form combat, open-world exploration, and vast amounts of time on the open road
- Camera tracking is sometimes faulty, but the action is a sight to behold, offering nicely animated characters, huge enemies, and stunning weapon effects
- Some location-specific melodies (especially at truck stops) are shockingly bad, and fail to capture the essence of the world
- The new orchestrated combat pieces fair better, and the long car rides are improved by the collection of old Final Fantasy tracks
- Combat is a showpiece of twitch gameplay and RPG conventions
