Sign me up. This game has the foundation of becoming the best final fantasy entry ,nigh the best game ever made.
SE pls give your team everything they need and want. This game needs to succeed.

okay so I didn't read up on who was involved but if the main scenario writers of FFXIV are on this, yes, could be a fun story.

And I do not care for action combat Final Fantasy but if it has to have action combat? Yes, absolutely, get the DMC5 folks involved.

I'm liking the medieval settings. Honestly it's all speculation but this could be our next-gen mmo with the bit of information we have here ( https://www.usgamer.net/articles/con...n-game-emerges ) and the FFXVI official announcement we've gotten today. The concept art in the blog is also fitting the medieval theme.

Anyways, we'll probably know more during Tokyo Game Show on the 27th later this month.

Is XVI part of XIV's universe, another shard, or just an alternative of XIV?

Because I watched the trailer just now and I swear I heard "eikon" "mother crystal" "summoned their eikon with crystals"

It aint. The final fantasy franchise has the gimmick of using the same blocks ( monsters , crystals , magic names) But structuring them differently.

It was also shown on a PC which supposedly emulated a PS5's performance. Still though, I doubt the game is anywhere close to being done or polished. It's too early to tell a lot of things about FF 16 at this point.

yes i don't think the game will look like this in the near future. we will see in the next trailers in 2021.

Yes I know that, crystals and summons and such. IX my favorite called them eidolons. But 16 used the exact terms, not just another name for them. Mother crystal, eikon, etc. Like FF9 had the father crystal, who's name escapes me at the moment, but again, different terms. This was the exact same ones.

I'll say this right now.

If the battle/damage text is "flying" text instead of traditional pop-up text, or no option to toggle it to pop-up battle text, (FFXIV is the ONLY Final Fantasy that uses flying battle text instead of pop-up battle text.)
or
There is random "you are here" bull $*&^ pop up black box text right in the middle of the screen like in this game, and no option to turn it off.....

I will not, will not, be buying FFXVI.

Of which FFXVI would then be the very first Final Fantasy I never buy.

Of all the possible arguments against FFXVI, this is probably the weirdest take and the most petty.

I can understand not being into action games or the fact that the design of what we've seen so far is bland and uninspired (unless your inspiration is recent western RPGs). But flying text and zone entry text is some next-level nitpicking. I wish I had half the passion for anything that some people seem to have for seemingly mundane things.

well eidolons have been used on ff type 0 and 13 as well, and espers is another one that is used in like both 6 and 12. So its just eikons time

Im getting a lot of FF14 vibes too even the music at the end.

Anyway I’m all for returning to medieval setting. I think it’s been over 20 years now since we had the modern world lore, with the last medieval setting on FF9.

Now this is a take that didn't cross my mind; could this be a new FF mmo? Would be great but I doubt it. Graphically I'd welcome it; this seemed to be presented in a regular FF kind of way to be an mmo.

No, the last one was definitely FFXII.

Huge 14 vibes from the trailer! I haven't been this hyped for a non mmo final Fantasy since 12! I love high Fantasy settings and so I'm happy to see FF return to its roots here.

14 has had a nice mix of Fantasy and Sifi, but something more purely high fantasy suits my tastes very well!

(Tinfoil Hat time: if this were to take place in the 14 multiverse I think it could be the story of the 13th shard before the fall, my crack pot theory)
