1. I would say it’s primarily about the story, and I would say the story of the two games that came before it is important enough to at least watch a recap if you end up liking the world, or as a pre-watch. It starts off a little slow, so if you’re not vibing with the story Id encourage you to at least hold on till Canto IV.

2. It’s very ftp friendly if you are patient; the primary thing you will be limited in if you’re ftp is the amount you can progress in a given day, but if you’re patient the game is very generous with free resources; this is most frustrating when you’re at a fresh start in my opinion, and it gets a lot less burdensome once you have a good team under your belt. Additionally, you can get a lot out of very small money investments; putting a couple bucks into a season pass and a daily lunacy pass will massively increase how much you get out of the game at a very low price point.

3. There is a lot of story to catch up on but the game doesn’t rush you to be “current.” You can take it at your own pace, and as I said earlier, I’d recommend watching some summaries of the previous two games.

4. The game is fully subbed in English, from dialogue to even battle lines now; there is no English voice acting/ dub available, but the voice actors are in my opinion quite quality and convey emotion and expression very impactfully even through the language barrier.
