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.
When I was 13: “HOLY SHIT THERE’S A NEW FINAL FANTASY!”
Now: “Oh, that came out?”

If you want a turn based RPG, OctoPath Traveler 2 is a really excellent option.
I have the first one. I’ve never gotten through it.
The style is great and all, but I want a modern RPG that has a party turn based system.
Dragon quest, turn based, also by square enix.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a turn based RPG and it is quite good.
We’re talking about jrpgs.
Oh, are we? My bad. Baldur’s Gate 3 fits “a modern RPG that has a party turn based system”, so I thought it was a good rec.
