seeing a bit more of FF XVI, I admit, I'm a bit nervous. DMC combat combined with 'spectacle' fights, QTEs, and long corridors of walking combined with lots of cutscenes. That said, everyone seems to think this is going to be the best FF game in decades, so maybe my fears are unfounded. I just hope this isn't another XIII (at least for me).

People said the same for 15...and we know how that ended up. That's why I'm going to hold off and let others be more daring than I and buy it day one while I wait.

I actually liked FFXV, outside of the "on rails" portion. Especially when some guys who broke past the barriers discovered that ALL of the 2nd continent was to scale and was looking to be explorable, as was the dark map.

This. I still enjoyed it, and I fully understand the poor dev team they dropped on to the game after Nomura let it fester for nearly a decade had little to work with before SE suits went "get it out the door, no more delays, who cares if it's unfinished to your liking" did what they could. I just wish they could have done more before the suits said "just ship it out". Still mad we didn't get some of the dlc that was promised besides the Ardyn dlc though. :/

I'm upset that we never got the full 2nd continent, but things like Prompto's DLC helped a bit with that. That entire snow area was pretty good.

You can really tell where their content crunch was, and that they had so much more planned but time was not on their side, which is unfortunate. The dlc we did get was great content, and I ended up enjoying XV more than I thought I would. Imagine having a full game instead of a 75% finished game that shipped, though... u.u

If only...it would have been so good. And the dark world would have been a lot easier to program. Just nighttime everywhere permanently.

EDIT: Out of forum posts, so adding this.

Meh not like I'm using post limits lately.

Did you know they wanted to make her a permanent party member at some point? That's why that glitch to keep her with the guys permanently had her show up in pictures, posing, etc etc.
