Final Fantasy 16 was announced

It would be great if the battle system is like FF7R, but with (much) improved party members AI. I also welcome the return of medieval setting.

I have mixed feelings about Yoshi-P's involvement in this, though. On one hand, I'm glad he got the recognition he deserved. On the other hand, I'm worried that by dividing his attention to two big games, the quality of BOTH games would suffer. I can only hope he will prove me wrong.

To be fair VII's remake party members are godsends compared to XV. I actually feel like they do stuff instead of acting all clunky.

Looks cool. I like action style combat to be honest (as a general statement), just hope they've found a way to ensure it doesn't loose much breadth with it (like some games employ slow-mo or whatever to let you switch it up, Witcher 3 sort of stuff- I just mean I hope it's not like "here is an attack button and 2 spells and that's all we can give you cause buttons" and you end up pressing one button non-stop and that's that).

I've no idea what they intend and am just getting into the info they've released (or maybe I've already hit the wall lol), but some day I hope they rip Bethesda's reigns away from neat open worlds. Kind of get that vibe with this game, may have been just because of the first skimming glance. FFXIV is both pretty open (well open-ish) and achieves great story (especially with ShB) so I believe SE has it in them to make the visually most spectacular open world game. Just have to be careful not to go too Ubisoft and turn it into a thousand meaningless tickboxes on the map. Also please continue with mod support, I was ecstatic they started it with FFXV and hope they empower and continue that with this game. Mod support can be an incredible boon to games, and so I hope they do their best to get a powerful kit to the players (if this isn't open world it's less important but I still think it's a cool thing to do). Of course there will be nude mods.. don't say like in FFXV 'please be mature' I guarantee you people wont be lol.

Anyway, open or not hope SE makes a successful and interesting game and wish them the best.

Good luck and best wishes FFXVI team :)

Yeah, exactly. There was some micromanaging involved and a need to switch characters fairly regularly, but all of them worked well together when everything was done right. FF VII Remake was a fairly challenging game and I think that is something the franchise needed...a challenge. Having a combat system with some actual depth made it that much more enjoyable.

Every time I jumped into battle while playing FF XV I never really knew what everyone else was doing and would occasionally initiate a team move of some kind. The combat system wasn't necessarily bad in my opinion, but it could have been better. A LOT better, really.

Gameplay looks copy-pasted from FFXV. They just replaced blue with orange for the teleportation attacks

reminds me of lost souls aside
anyway i think graphics seem a bit crusty for this next gen console sure it might be early in works but 13 and 15 didnt look that meh early on

Looking forward to Final Fantasy May Cry XIV. I mean... FFXVI. The combat looks dope. Characters actually casting magic instead of chucking a synthesized bottle. Looks like he gets summoned monster bits as attack effects/after effects/alt attack modes. I saw Phoenix feathers slashing with his blade and also Titan Fists.

Story interests me too. Looks like people turning into the Eikons. "Shiva's Dominant" seems to me to mean the person who actually becomes Shvia/controls her when summoned? Or maybe decides when she can be summoned? But the little boy Joshua straight up turned into Phoenix by himself so... hmm.

Can't decide if Tattoo guy and Bodyguard are the same guy or twins separated at birth. I lean towards them being different people and we'll be playing their campaigns separately. Or something like that.

Very much looking forward to it. The only real question is, will the PS5 ever be back in stock for me to get one... ugh.

not fond of the character design feel old-school or nostalgic if you want to say it in a good way.

I'm actually super interested. I'd say as someone else said it ; cautiously optimistic. I like the setting, old-timey-ish, its different for a recent FF. The story is somewhat intriguing, the hero looks nice (althought a bit generic but still nice).

Well, wait and see ?

To me a reason to not play a game should be "hey i'm getting 90's internet pop up spam that I cant turn off" instead of "I prefer turn based."

I can enjoy both turn based and real time. What I cant enjoy is someone telling me every 5 seconds where I am.

This is the main reasons I cant play other games outside of the Final Fantasy franchise. They are so full of nonsensical garbage, whereas a typical Final Fantasy game makes sense, is clean and orderly.



If I was what you claim, then why dont I spend more time on the forums? I say things that matter to me, and explain my reason.

Excuse me for not saying "no /10char" to every suggestion and insulting others constantly.

Because out of all the things you could've complained about you complained about the UI. You know, the UI we got very detailed screens of and enter workings and what not? Oh.. thats right. There was no ui to see. It just looks like you're LOOKING for something to complain about.
