Development Team Downsizing and Justification Makes no Sense

So proud of you

... it's disgraceful XIV and XI players are going to effectively be eating gruel for a while to pay for the failures of XVI.

personally it doesn't rly hurt much, being both games already contains huge content. Also, can't think of making another huge disaster like that grand FF movie, right? ^^;

It is hilarious how we have people here assuming FFXVI will fail just because they love FFXI and think that FFXVI hurts the game. There is literally no basis whatsoever for assuming it will fail. Your personal disintrest has virtually no bearing on the game's success or lack thereof. Until people actually get to play it, I don't really see any validity to this argument.

It looks terrible in every way, they will lie abotu 1000 million shipped or whatever (as I said in the other thread) but I can't see it actually selling many copies compared to 15 or 7r. It's souless.

It honestly does, I was just watching a demo of it yesterday and it looks meh to me. The mobs are all HP sponges that take the same combo being repeated over and over to finally take them down... The magic looks weak, the graphics have something off about them that I can't put my finger on. The UI is horrible looking also

Sounds a lot like FFXI to me

It's an action game, having hp sponges in an action game is just going to give you a sore thumb for no reason.

all action games have "HP sponges." Still smells like "CBU3 controls it therefore it is bad."

Different game styles... cmon.

Different game styles... cmon.

As I just said, any game that involves killing things has "HP sponges." This is just biased criticism because FFXVI's existence supposedly hurts FFXI. Give it an honest play when it comes out and then we'll talk.

Personally I don't own a ps5 or any Sony devices for that matter so I'll have to wait for the PC version.
