IGN FF16 review is almost like a critique of FF14's own issues

Anything from IGN, GamesRadar+, and Kotaku should be taken with a shot of gunpowder and salt. The game was made in a more western-type approach, rather than the traditional Japanese rpg (being more action oriented). Games change as series progress in time. Theyre not hanging it back like most boomer culture seems to think (back in my day blah blah blah). A lot of journalists praised the changes to Tomb Raider, as well as the Assassins creed series from a more open world leveling grind (rather than how they were prioritized through AC 1- IV without it). FF VIIR is getting that same praise in change (though it seems to be more biased of FF7 fans, which is nothing new for all the FF7 simps out there). Suddenly FF XV and XVI change the way the games are played going forward, and everyone complains? Starting to think that even RPG fans have no clue about what they want anymore. Do you want a more traditional rpg style? Go play Final Fantasy 1-6? It's available in a whole pack? Or fallout and skyrim? Persona was great, but Atlus just doesnt change at all. Is it a good thing? Eh, depends on who you ask. But what do yall actually want??
