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

[R041]

I am serious the QTEs aren't that bad...i mean I've got 82 hours in at the moment (new game plus on top of base 67 hour completion) I'm very sure I am playing the same game...are you counting like movesets with hold buttons etc as well or just core cinematic evasion sections etc...which are usually reserved for eikon fights and the odd boss fight here and there cause not all of them had QTEs especially around the middle of the game or any of the hunts. Also just noticed your edit but I never said anything about them not being anywhere I just said they didn't dominate the game which they don't. Its mainly in the eikon fights or the odd early boss and end bosses, but TYPING IN CAPS doesn't make it anymore valid lol.

Didn't say you hated it just said that I think with your views and critique on 14 now into 16 with some common overlap maybe its just you don't like their design goals and that's fine but with all the marketing, demo...lets plays and word of mouth its selling pretty damn well considering its limitations with platform etc.

Well 14 certainly didn't numb me with that especially as I've been playing RPGs for quite some time before I got my fangs into 14 properly after a struggled first attempt into the MMO space.

I mean i don't remember everything about FFXs maps but from what I've replayed there isn't really much off the beaten track...granted that's better then having nothing its just more when some people said oh 16 is so linear and I'm thinking excuse me....have you played many FF games they are all linear lol.

It's a personal preference there, like I said before - If you hate something in this game it really pushes it. I hate QTEs, and it's absolutely filled with them in every story boss fight. Not the side content obviously, so if you're 80 hours in, you're not doing 80 hours of QTE. But if you're slamming the MSQ and doing those boss fights, they're A LOT of QTEs.

Yes my criticism is flowing into FFXVI, shouldn't that be expected when they refuse to learn from their own faults? CBU:III FF games have incredibly low, lows, and incredibly high, highs. It's basically their staple.

I WILL TYPE IN CAPS ALL I WANT. I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY, BUT THIS IS STAYING IN CAPS.


Okay I lied Edit: I hope you know I don't want to actually argue. Again I won't say you liking either game is wrong. And again, I play plenty of shitty games, including these.
Do I complain? Yeah. Do you have to reply to me? No. lol
