IT'S SO FUCKING BAD AAAAHHHHHH THE BOREDOM IS KILLING ME

tranny janny... incoming!!!!!

really? i was just about to reinstall and give it another chance but guess not

Why would the mods nuke a perfectly acceptable Final Fantasy XVI thread?

very organic thread

Agree. Even if it wasn't labelled Final Fantasy it's still a shit action game. The story was decent enough and I liked the main characters but almost everything about the game is boring as fuck. Whoever designed the UI and how slow accepting/turning in quests is should be shot in the asshole

I thought about buying this as I saw the edition with all the dlc is on sale for 50 euro on psn but it will probably be added to psn plus in 2 or 3 months so I'll just wait for that.

This game is mad boring, but the boss fights are peak in terms of pure spectacle. Wish an actually good game had bosses like the ones in ff16

Soken carried the game for me, if it wasn't for his sick OST I would've dropped the game.

This is probably the greastest mainline FF track ever made.

Best theme and the best eikon boss fight too

It gets better after the time skip.

better than 15 at least

This honestly may be the worst game I've ever played. It's polished and clearly competent people worked on many parts of it, but it's just so unbelievable dull in every respect despite that, even the very best things about it are just lesser versions of things you can get elsewhere and the shallowness of it all is insulting. The sidequests are also so absent of even the slightest bit of imagination it's almost impressive.

i got the physical disc version off amazon for like 20-25 euros equiv

Even dogshit is better than 15, thats not a high bar to pass

You mean the one during the credits? Yeah, that's when the game is at its best. When it's fucking over

fair

this was supposed to be the main theme before they changed it for some reason

I only have the digital slim ps5 im afraid. I got it on sale at christmas for 370 euro. Havent bothered to get a disc drive.

And I'm happy that I didn't bought it, wasting money and drive space for it. I have already done that with Rebirth and Remake.

Yeah man he killed it by putting the Prelude into every track and remixing the Rosaria theme 300 times. Soken never misses!!!

baby's first gnostic and jungian philosophy

It's called leitmotifs scrub, Soken is a GOD

As disappointing as this game was, I still look back on certain parts fondly. The game should have stuck with the Game of Thrones shit throughout. Once Ultima shows up its almost all down hill form there. Barnabas could've been a much better final villain with a bigger focus on Waloed as a whole.

the hate for this game is way too forced

FF should never be dull. Dullness is the worst sin for FF. This is why FF16 is even worse than FF13.

Its a solid 7/10, but it could've been so much better. The first third of the game is really good.

I love leitmotifs, but he unironically overused some, particularly the FF main theme. If he had saved it to only be used when you're about to head to Origin, it would have been kino, but you've already heard it several times by then, he even incorporated it into the resistance base theme that you hear constantly.

Audra’s Wrath is basically “FFXVI Boss Fights: The Game”.

Is it worse than 13?

it's better than 13 and 15
but worse than all other mainlines

Soken liberal use of it is why the themes sticks to your head and subconsciously draws emotions associated with said themes, I can understand why it might feel cheap but treating video game OST like an Opera works fantastically, his years of working in 14 taught him as much.

Completely agree. It’s pretty interesting when it’s Game of Thrones with some Attack on Titan thrown in, but boy does it tank when not only when it becomes another “Kill God” plot, but a particularly dull version of that.

Yes atleast FF13 is imaginative. FF16 is just so dull and lame.

It's the best mainline FF since 11: CoP

Nobuo does it better though.

best mainline FF

since 11

????????????????????

IT's wayyyyyy better than 13 and 15.

Not turn based FF

Shan't be buying.

If you've never played it, just dont @ me

I don't even like 13 and 15, in fact I fucking hated 13 but 16 is worse. 16 is boring. 13 is cringe.

must be personal taste then, Nobuo never composed anything that got me hype.

Both mmos are mainline games, you will never be a woman

11 isn't a mainline is the thing
just as 14 isnt

What comes after 10?

Agree. It's what absolutely tanks FFXII for me, when it's otherwise a really decently made game.

12

12

What was cringe about 13? Was it the entire Falcie schizo "plot"? The waste of a scifi setting for shit writing? The summons being weak jobbers?

What comes after 13?

the big moments and the overall story are quite good, it's the stuff in between that's really eh, still, it's a good game

the party members. God I hate them all especially the 2 aussie women. their voices are ear rape.

This is about how I feel.
They could've done some things to keep the combat fresh as well.
Those are the only two critiques I have. That and that I'm personally not fond of le bittersweet figure it out who survived and who died based on how you prefer to interpret it endings.

I want to rape Fang but I agree

mmos will never be final fantasy

The Bahamuth fight was dangerously based

Clive spends a decade as a slave

still is oblivious to the harsh treatment of other slaves

Isekai writing has rotted Japan's minds

game would've been so good if they let us equip all of the Eikons at once, missed opportunity.

13-2

He wasn't a regular slave desu, he was in that special suicidal prisoners unit

final fantasy will never be ultima or dragon quest either but that didn't stop the devs from ripping those off

Why the fuck do people say X is good? Its boring JRPG crap.

It's atleast a JRPG.

I had fun playing the game. I just wished it had a proper party. Dion made the game for me
