As someone who is a literal fanboy of the FF series having played every mainline FF game and most of the side games to death. Im just laughing at the whines and cried of people here saying that FFXVI isnt an FF game.

Its an FF game. Seems to me that people are just desperately trying to use that as an excuse for not liking the game so they try to validate or justify that opinions by demeaning the product to make themselves feel better.

Look its not my favorite game (yet I still have yet to finish to formulate that opinion yet), I still regard FFIX as the best one but FFXVI is still a FF game.
