FFXVI Collab feedback (spoilers)

[Rehayem]

- Clive's hair was super detailed. I hope this is a sign of what we gonna get in DT?
- He had a stubby beard, need more beards for our beard enjoyers
- The battle part was fantastic and honestly wish stuff like that could be implemented somehow... Of course, FFXVI is action oriented, but this was a prime example that it is possible, even if it's in solo battles.
- I haven't played FFXVI, so to mention Clive's brother died because of his accidental summoning kinda spoiled the story a bit, no?

Overall really enjoyed the event 10/10

Joshua dying is explored in the first like 30 minutes of the game in the prologue, the Clive that’s present in the collab is from about 1/3 of the way through the main story of 16 so it lines up

Joshua dying really isn’t a spoiler

Yeah but I wouldn't know that, because I don't have a PS5 and I'm waiting for the PC release.

Oh yeah that makes sense, just letting you know for when you do play it that Joshua dying really isn’t a spoiler so to speak

[GTK0HLK]

Yeah, they really didn't have much leeway.

Even casual dialog of the way the world is, works, or what is capable is spoiler territory.

So in the end, it's basically the first part of the story.

But yeah, it's curious.
Makes me wonder out of curiosity how would any XIV Cross over even work in XVI.
(Obviously Meteor could make sense. and the CrossOver Story does add leeway to any of the HUH story moments for those that have played)

In the end, it does it's task. while for anyone who would of never played or oddly never heard of it. I imagine it would raise a few questions to them.

But asides that, it did what it could with as little it was allowed.

-------------------------

Found the combat section fun, specially as Black Mage, you can easily time your attacks with the duty skills.

Overall positive, and could of been way worse than others predictions.

And much more intuitive than most players XV CrossOver interactions.

too bad we didn't get the haircut, the face tatoo and sword

The brand is a mark of brutal slavery to the people of 16’s world, you 100% don’t want that unless you have OC lore reasons for it

This is honestly why I was so confused on what they would actually do for it

Ifrit is a spoiler, Joshua is a spoiler, the brand is a spoiler, the nature of magic in 16 is a spoiler, there is almost not plot point from the first half of the game that doesn’t spoil something from the first half

I was a little sad we didn't get an "Accept the Truth" QTE.

At least somethings are mitigated by the cover arts and advertising.

But it's still spoilers.

XV likely had less Spoilers, except for the obviousness of different FF's have different Models and looks.

Those who've never seen/played XVI though will have a understanding of the basic connotation of the tattoo is negative. (Though that's practically the first 30m-1h of game.)

Armor is cover art(all other details about it, is obviously irrelevant)

Ifrit is slightly mitigated by Advertising, but then again. After a Game Launches/Ported. it'd advertising goes down, so unless it gets rerun within a couple of years. the Crossover will likely inform a nice chunk of info outside the game.

I mean, even the vague concept of their level of technology based on Clives surprise may give idea to the new players who've yet to do XVI where they stand.

Mr Yoshida, and YP probably spent alot of time talking about what they can or can't show in the crossover.

and this is what we got, which is alot for those who never seen/heard anything of XVI.
and inferred by those who have.

TLDR:
Yeah, they really couldn't do much.

And once this Crossover Returns, the advertising campaign for XVI is either over from PC Port, or post-launch.

So it'll be more so spoiler.
(But XVI still has more depth to offer)

i don't really care, it's just that it's on clive model so it mean it is in the game, they could have made those as rewards too. i know ff16 lore btw.
