Are you interested in FF XVI?

[Vahlnir]

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.

the man has barely strung two sentences together, give him a chance

"cloud isnt an interesting character, all hes done in the trailer is get off a train"

How can you call a character you know next to nothing about boring?

Admittedly we don't know much, but I'm not exactly confident Clive will develop into an interesting character when SE has released 2 trailers that have failed to make a protagonist stand out by any means.

If your protagonist is a character to care about, then you should showcase that with promotional footage for a game. I'd be more forgiving if the game was just announced, but one year isn't that much time to hype up a character.

I also do think Cloud is boring for 2/3 of Final Fantasy 7 - easily when of the worst FF protagonists that is only memorable because of their design.

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.

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.

[Lauront]

With the caveat that not much is known about it yet, yes. It has aspects of XII, Type-0 and also some other settings, like AoT, all of which are a big plus to me, and Clive is my kind of guy design-wise.

Still doesn't excuse calling a character boring. We don't know much of anything. And sorry but I don't like Cloud because of his design. I like and thoroughly enjoy him because of his character. Try not to make general claims like that as they are often offbase

[Caitlyn]

Not interested.

Graphics and combat are nice. But somehow, I prefer the primal designs from FFXIV over those from FFXVI. And it looks like that there are only human characters. No dwarfen race or elf or cat/dragon girls.

It may be a good game, but as long FFXIV exists, I m not interested in any other FF game.

With one exception: If they would make some kind of spin-off of FFXIV with the same lore, with the same designs and races, but with new NPCs, action combat, better graphics and a new storyline (maybe set in the first shard, before the flood of light), I would definitely buy it.

[Espon]

I'm a bit interested. I don't have a PS5 yet and not sure if I'll have one by the time the game comes out as there hasn't really been any games for it that I want to play that don't also come out for PC.

So far the game seems more appealing than FF13, FF15, and their many spinoffs.

At least the characters don't look like they stepped out of a gas station or are part of a boy band. Haven't really been interested in character designs since FF10.

[Neoyoshi]

I'll get it when it comes to Steam like I did with FF15.

I may have a much higher interest in this entry though simply due to the combination of people involved in it's creation; Yoshi-P, Soken, Ryota Suzuki, and Hiroshi Minagawa.

I'm also highly interested in the origins of the Eikon; which the early parts of this game touches upon, but gets glossed over due to other larger forces at play in the ARR story and subsequent expansions, which ends up turning the Eikon into a McGuffin sadly.
