Everyone I've recommended CO to and took me up on it -- loved it. But I have other friends that have heard me talk about the game and I just "know" it's not for them and if they play, they'll be ranting about the mechanisms and other things.
For me, it made me wish I was French :P I love the aesthetic, story, and characters for sure. It's different than FF to me because it seemed like FF got embarrassed by its turn-based gameplay over time and it feels like CO embraced it fully.
Also, I heard the fanbase can be rather toxic as well. Once again, that sometimes happens with more popular games too. I was watching a few streamers that said they'd want to put it as their GOTY but some fans were just doing a lot of bullying. After playing the game, I understand their passion for it ... but it can sour other people's expectations and experiences for sure.
