Final Fantasy 16 was announced

Reason I won't buy this one, either. Are we ever going to have another female-led masterpiece like VI?

I'm not opposed to having a female lead since I enjoy them a great deal when done right. VI was done right. 13 was not, but not because of Lightning honestly, though I personally didn't think she was that interesting. She lacked any real personality. I'd be willing to bet that 13 has been a factor in their decision making the last few years, though I doubt that had anything to do with Lightning being the main character and female. The games just sucked. lol However, In the 16 trailer alone there was at least 3-4 different female characters. It's unfair to judge it in that respect as things currently stand. We know next to nothing about it. It doesn't appear that we're going to have another 6 or 13 with a female lead but they usually do an excellent job of adding them to the main cast and keeping them just as relevant as the main character. 15 wasn't my favorite game and I do think the main characters were somewhat lacking. It goes to show that character gender isn't really a factor when it comes to making a good game. 15 to me was a bit subpar. SE just needs to focus on making a good game. Hopefully FF 16 is one such game. We haven't had a truly good single player FF game for a long time now aside from the FF7 Remake...but that's a remake, not a brand new title.
