Final Fantasy 16 was announced

[MikkoAkure]

I'll say this right now.

If the battle/damage text is "flying" text instead of traditional pop-up text, or no option to toggle it to pop-up battle text, (FFXIV is the ONLY Final Fantasy that uses flying battle text instead of pop-up battle text.)
or
There is random "you are here" bull $*&^ pop up black box text right in the middle of the screen like in this game, and no option to turn it off.....

I will not, will not, be buying FFXVI.

Of which FFXVI would then be the very first Final Fantasy I never buy.

Of all the possible arguments against FFXVI, this is probably the weirdest take and the most petty.

I can understand not being into action games or the fact that the design of what we've seen so far is bland and uninspired (unless your inspiration is recent western RPGs). But flying text and zone entry text is some next-level nitpicking. I wish I had half the passion for anything that some people seem to have for seemingly mundane things.
