    I used to get so excited when FF games came out but they havent been fun for me since 12. I dont buy FF games for an action RPG. Doesnt feel like FF.

    I’ve not been excited for anything except XIV for a while from the franchise. :/

    Such a shame too because i was hoping having Yoshi as the director would do something different not move further away.

    The marketing for this game was…awful.

    Gorgeous graphics and English accents mean nothing if I don’t care or know what’s going on

    Even XV was better…as an outsider I knew that Noctis was a prince and it was a road trip adventure essentially

      I like XVI A LOT. Everything leading up to the game was awful and uninspiring. The demo was the only reason I ended up buying it. I can see why though. The whole game is pretty much just spoilers after spoilers. And that’s all of the interesting stuff.

      Even showing some of the abilities (the fun part of combat) is spoilery.

      I was so excited for XV and it just killed my excitement for the franchise. I almost skipped over XVI because it just looked so uninspired. XVI has really revitalized that excitement for the franchise though. I’m loving this game.

      I plan on getting a buddy and going through Strangers of Paradise next. I had played through the demo with a friend and it was a blast.

      If they ever make an active pause battle game again I’ll be interested. I can’t stand these straight up action games that don’t even let you control your party.

      12 was the last one I liked, but even that was pushing it just because of the battle system, which I hated at first cuz it felt like a MMO but ended up loving because of gambits.
