Really did not enjoy this game at all. The story was interesting but that’s about as much complement I can give it. The gameplay was monotonous, the battle mechanics were boring and the side quests were derivative. The voice actors were flat and some the dialogue was just awful. Glad you enjoyed it but if this is what final fantasy is going forward it’s lost my interest.
I am the exact opposite. I enjoyed the combat and the voice acting, hated the story. It was like Game of Thrones with Japanese literary tropes thrown in (not anime tropes, those are different). Imo it dragged on too long.
The eye candy is absolutely surreal tho (and I don’t mean just Clive and Benedikta), especially the Eikon fights. I had a lot of fun with those and the Bahamut one is my current wallpaper.
Yea I can kinda compromise and see where you’re coming from. Visually it was great but for me that’s not enough for a good game. I just can’t see how someone can enjoy the combat. It was overly simplistic for me and once you “solve” the best case of abilities there’s not much reason to deviate from it.
This is very true, and I agree with you about the combat. The game makes it seem like you have a giant variety in how you can build Clive, but there’s actually like three or four optimal builds. And god help you if you stray from those builds, because the enemies are so tanky that it will take you twice as long to down them, ugh.
The AI controlled party members makes this even worse, as you can’t switch to them to try out a different playstyle like in previous FF. You hack and slash, and you LIKE IT.
Funniest part is the combat in XVI actually made me go back to DMC5. Now THATS some good shit.
The voice acting is extremely excellent. It’s also not anime, if that’s what you’re in it for. So, no awkward hyperventilating between sentences. Female characters don’t all sound like screeching children. And intonation is what an actual human would use in actual speech.
The side quests in the game are definitely pretty awful, though.
It all went downhill after FFX. I caved and bought the FF7 remake and I’ll never give square enix another cent after seeing how they bastardized one of the most legendary games of all time

I’m maybe 2/3 through.

Sounds like somebody used too many of the support accessories, lol.
What do you mean?
