CBU3. Please respect your players.

Then stop responding to people that post feedback?

You've posted in this very thread like what, 10 times? Trying to argue with people and giving counterpoints against anything even remotely criticizing CBU:III and their games. Clearly you see how that looks right? Then you post that? lol






"Uh no, what I meant was - You can criticize CBU:III on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:30AM - 2:35AM"


None of your reactive arguments are even in good faith, they just break down as soon as you get cornered and start talking about how XIV has Ultimates, so of course that means they have difficult content. Right?

But you fail to even understand the argument at all - It's not that CBU:III provides difficult content. It's that their pacing and difficulty curves are all over the place. They make no sense. Even in XIV, where you go from braindead easy to immediately insane. There's never any ramp-up in difficulty. It's always just extremely easy or extremely hard. It's exactly the same thing going on in XVI. You have to beat the whole ass game to even have any semblance of difficulty. That's what we're saying, but you're arguing some other point altogether.

Every time someone replies to feedback and tries to discredit someone, they usually respond back harder. That's how this goes. So here's some more feedback so we can do this forever and ever.

XVI plays itself. Just like XIV
XVI doesn't have gradual difficulty. It's either on or off. Just like XIV
You have to beat the game to get even remotely difficult content. Just like XIV
The pacing is off, and story keeps going from grand epic to dull filler. Just like XIV
The RPG elements are completely gone. Just like XIV
It's a walking and fetch simulator with hours of cutscenes between. Just like XIV
Gil is worthless. Just like XIV
The world is barren and has no reason to explore. Just like XIV
There's way too much constant exposition about everything. Just like XIV
There are a lot of really cool systems, but all of them are half-baked. Just like XIV
The highs are as high as the lows are low. Just like XIV

I can talk about my pros too, but this is basically bait

7/10 game


I have a lot I love about XVI, but I'm not gonna sit here and lie about how I'm having the greatest time ever, that there's nothing wrong, CBU:III is perfect. Nah.. XVI heavily suffers from CBU:III syndrome.

So on brand, really. lol

I had a feeling your post was to me so i pulled you off ignore. Seems youre still spouting stupidity in regards to me so youll probably be right back on there after this post.
Lets talk facts for this bit. It WASNT implied that non CBU3 games are beyond criticism. At no point was that said, at all.

Next am I not allowed to give counterpoints now? This is a place for discussion no? Or am I suppose to just be quiet if I don't agree? Sorry but thats not happening. I personally don't care if you believe I'm speaking in good faith or not. You're no one to me so your opinion there means nill. Nothing I have said has been "broken down" by anyone. The fact IS XIV has difficult content. I don't give a damn what you think in regards to that because facts are facts. Savage/Extreme/Unreal/Ultimate are in fact XIVs difficult content. Period.

Next you say it goes from braindead easy to insanely difficult. Isn't the progression something like Extremes to Unreal/Savage to Ultimate? The jump from Extreme to Savage is not that big imo. I wouldn't even say going from normal to EX is that big. Again my opinion. You feel it is big. That's your opinion. I can accept that as thats your experience. It's no more valid or invalid than mine. Many players have stated the recent trials we've gotten are a step up from the norm which I'd agree.

XIV plays itself. Ok hop into any dungeon and sit the controller down/M&K down n see how far you get. A game playing itself is a game that has auto combat which xiv doesn't have. Again that's factual. N don't try to use the "you know what I meant" bs.

XIV in fact does have gradual difficulty over years of a span. Compare AAR Titan to the likes of EW Barb and tell me things haven't gotten progressively difficult. Let's not even use that. I wouldn't say Extreme requires you need to be 100% "on" either but again that's personal experience difference between us. That is OK.

Have to beat the game for remotely difficult content. As per their goal of trying to be more accessible (for better or worse). I've seen some say they like the current normal difficulty. Ive seen others say it's to easy. No one group is correct as once again it's personal experience.

What FF game doesn't go from Epic high to more dull lows? This isn't even a CBU3 problem.
Rpg elements are completely gone. Also a false statement just of the fact you say "completely". Them being not as prevalent doesn't mean they're gone completely.
If we break down most FF games they are indeed watching fetch simulators with heaps of cutscenes.
Gil is worthless according to who? The person with 500mil? Sure. The person who isn't as well off I bet 9 times out of ten would never make that claim but would you look at that, personal experience is what makes that differ for folks.
I'll easily say XIVs overworld could use some changes cause outside of unlocking flying there isn't much incentive to go explore. So I'll agree there.
I see this constant exposition point from a few key folks here and honestly I don't see it. It's generally a case of expounding on new info as it relates to what we already know. Most FFs are dialogue heavy so this is not new. Again my opinion
Half baked systems. Hell I want them to make Squads a relevant thing again so I can run Trusts with them instead of the Scions (no shade to em). Sucks that they've been touched in eons. Same for a few other things so I can partially agree there too.
Highs n lows I can't really say much on as I can't think of a FF game that straddles a nice line. Every one I've played has at least one part of just not feeling but (yes beat to death point) that's a personal experience thing.

I don't expect you or anyone to say they're having the greatest time. If you aren't then you aren't n that's fine. That's why I've said here that maybe XVI isn't for those folks not having a good time. I've never once claimed CBU3 is perfect and have shared my issues before. They just aren't as constant and seemingly game dooming as other people's issues are.

Oh at no point have I ever told someone they can't criticize CBU3 or they can only do at a specific time or whatever. Even in your "gotcha" post of my history I ask, keyword ASK why they don't take XVI feedback to a XVI dedicated space.
