Are you interested in FF XVI?

[Clover_Blake]

I'm not interested in FF games (except for 14), since the only player input they have is battle, and I don't care about battles. I want interactive stories, I want to make decisions!

The trailer looks awesome, though. I LOVE the dark medieval fantasy theme, it's my favourite and this one seems very well done. I would not play it myself due to the things mentioned above, but I would gladly watch it on youtube (so long as anyone streams it with the original Japanese audio). If the story has 0 interactivity, I will simply watch a video of it and avoid going through boring battles.

Kind of maybe? I'm curious. I've never played any FF games outside of 14 though.

Outside of the MMO's I haven't really enjoyed a FF game since FFX. The jump from turn based combat into these weird amalgams of action combat have just not been enjoyable at all. FFXVI also apparently has the combat designer from devil may cry which makes me even less interested. While I loved DMC1 back in the day, the following DMC's, especially 3,4 and 5, went to the extreme with the style system and just turned all the enemies into dumb AI that became glorified punching bags so I just got bored in every DMC game I played as they just turned into mindless button mashing.

Will I play it? Probably. Will I like it? Eh, I don't think I will.

not at all actually.

The trailer didnt grab me, and given the price of a solo game, there are others that I think look more interesting that I will spend money on, but not that one.

Interested? Sure. I'm just not sold on it yet. The trailer was okay, but it didn't exactly wow me either. There's a lot of time between now and launch, especially if it gets delayed again. Hopefully they will win me over at some point. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on its progress.

Last 'real' FF game I played was X and X-2.

Since then none of the character designs of the main cast have appealed to me.

FFX-2 was a 'real' FF game? ... . That massage mini game . . .. I remember having to do that on the living room tv way way back when I was a kid.. "please don't come in, please don't come in" XD

Personally I loved the Thal out of FFIX. I'd love to see a FF steampunk like MMO, high emphasis on the airship like that game had too. Which actually I'd bring back a potential point from FFXVI and the other game with parkour and note it would be interesting if like FFXII they're going to use these as test beds for the next MMO.

The art style of these two new games is not bad (look pretty, imo), but I wonder if they would be able to nail a more artsy style for their next MMO.. since these things tend to last a long time you'd get a lot of value out of a more timeless style. Try to make their 'concept art' come alive, maybe. Not hyper realistic but still beautiful.

IDK... FFX felt like a side story to a sport's game. I found Blitzball more entertaining than the main game. FFX-2 felt like SE wanted to make a Magical Girl game. Then again I didn't like FFVIII as it felt like a movie with short interaction parts thrown in. FFXIII felt too linear as if you were riding a plot train which made FFXV's open world style of play more refreshing even if it also meant I broke the game by hitting lv 99 before getting even 1/3 of the way through it... >.>

This is what I'm silently hoping they're doing.

Yes, it looks great. I'm tempering my expectations on the basis that a trailer can be deceptive but I like the darker and grittier edge. My favourite Final Fantasy title is XII and XVI seems to have similar aesthetics. I'm glad that it appears to be designed to appeal to fans of the franchise who want the games to grow up a bit alongside them.

The character designs are pretty neat. I like Clive and Hugo a lot already.
