Showing some final fantasy love to this board, so making a thread to so we can post updates/discussion for the latest one
Yes, nothing says Final Fantasy like it’s a “proper, fast paced action game.”So excited for Final Fantasy XVI! Glad it’s a proper, fast paced action game!
I disagree. Final Fantasy has never been content to remain the same. It’s a restless series of immense ambition and they give it their all every time fully believing in their vision. Sakaguchi directly gave his blessing to Final Fantasy XV at the release date reveal (I was there) and loves XIV.Yes, nothing says Final Fantasy like it’s a “proper, fast paced action game.”
I get that some people are very happy that it’s a straight up action game, but man Square really loves destroying Sakaguchi’s FF1-9 template / legacy.
I absolutely love FF14, but I am not getting my hopes up about FF16 based on what they showed us. I’m not making inferences anymore and I think everyone should do that based on how hyped up people were for past games by hoping they were something they ended up not being.I disagree.

That’s a fair take. If this game comes out and isn’t hot I’ll be disappointed, but for now I’m very excited and optimistic.I absolutely love FF14, but I am not getting my hopes up about FF16 based on what they showed us.

This time I am going to call a spade a spade until I am shown otherwise; FF16 seems to be a character action game wrapped in Final Fantasy trappings. Unfortunately, that is something I’m not interested in.
I hope as time goes on they reveal more about the game and that it has a high level of adventure and RPG mechanics, but based on what was shown I would say it’s safer to not assume it’s anything other than DMC x FF.
A Realm Reborn and Heavensward's writer nice, that makes me excited. Putting my hopes high on the combat system being good due to the combat director.Blog post. Not too many details here.
New Final Fantasy XVI trailer revealed, launches on PS5 Summer 2023
“Dominance” is the latest trailer for Final Fantasy XVI.blog.playstation.com
Maybe it's because I'm 50 hours deep into Xenoblade 2 which makes random grunts in Yakuza look like incredible character design in comparison, but I kind of dig the characters we've seen here so far. Seemingly mostly adults, not too oversexualized. Surprisingly mature looking. Hopefully the tribal face tattoos from the first trailer are gone though lol.Really bummed by this new trailer. I think the game just looks really boring. The combat is also just bleh, I think FF7R had a decent balance for action and slower more strategic stuff but this just seems all-out action, not even sure I saw multiple party members?
Also, I'm becoming increasingly convinced Square are unable to come up with interesting new character designs. I saw no one in that trailer remotely interesting, all just super generic looking and dull.
BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!
The staff involved is definitely what makes me feel so confidently excited about this game. I loved FFXV, but I think hedging their bets by scaling back the action gameplay from the initial Versus trailers when it became a mainline game was a mistake. I love turn based games, I love character action games, a middle ground left people less than thrilled even if it still worked on its terms.A Realm Reborn and Heavensward's writer nice, that makes me excited.

They put out a handy chart breaking down where staff is from. Had no idea the composer of FFXIV worked on Mario Basketball lol.
Final Fantasy 91, coming September 2209If XCI ends up being a solo adventure with no party members, I am going to be bummed out.

I had that game in high school. It was fun! I’m sure it would have been a hell of a lot better without touch controls though.its even weirder that SE made that Hoops game for DS
