XVI and XIV implications

[Katt_Felista]

Exit the mirror / reflect, triple, quadruple magic from monster, stealing monster abilities, paying attention to not use fire on fire ennemies, paying attention to not use ice on ice, or electricity on water with puddles under your feet, nothing "RPG" that made the fantastic and mythological library of monster and tactics from these monsters and mythological creatures that MADE and are part of the essence of Final Fantasy, into this game. Itemization is a joke and also an after thought, real customization of stats is non existant, Clive "ifrit trigger" and his medieval cosplay of Dante is even more cringeworthy when none of his character and personnality show outside of some combat, and even in combat he isn't that very vaindicative or pushing boundaries neither, it's funny to see such an erased, nodding and pacifist, barely "present" character being borderline so passive and acquiescing to everything he is asked to do, wearing a pale imitation of Dante's attire, it's a joke right ? Talk about a neutered / nullified character that is a clear reflection of the boredom of the entire game.

Yeah, and while i played it, enjoyed the combat for 5 minutes, u just end up spamming abilities in the end, u don't even need any normal hits anymore after u retrieve cid's one, combat system is a farce that doesn't make you think about anything, when everything is so '50%' baked and none of the systems try to be in your face and stands out, this game, this game has one of the worst stories in an FF, it is boring as hell, the demo sold a lie of a story that falls extremely flat after it. There is no "maintaining" any stakes of the premisces of the demo story and interest in any way, you very early suspect that one character is still alive, you do nothing to get a real revenge, nobody gives two shits about what really happenned, not even Joshua seem to care about the ultimate betrayal his brother's gone through. way too many plotholes, way too many things that could have had a human / deep and dark treatment, have been left on the table to rot under complacency and political correctness to make sure kids could play the game also, when it's clear they wanted, sometimes, to go the route of the witcher 3 for some of it. No, cVcked ambition, never going FULL into it, allways having that "but what if the kiiiids play the game, let's call back to kingdrom hearts power of friends" .

This was lame as fuck.

Playing FF1 to FF12 was like playing Chess vs the final fantasy mythological status ailment and magic tricks, but playing FF16 is like playing checkers without any opponent.
