Final Fantasy 16 is finally available via PS5 and it's one of this year's biggest and best games. So far, the game has sold over three million copies and earned an impressive 88 on Metacritic. These are two great returns for Square Enix. That said, while most playing the latest Final Fantasy game are enjoying it, there have been some that have been very critical of not just aspects of the game, but the game as a complete package. One of the bigger talking points that has divided some fans are the side quests, largely because the gameplay is a step down from the main part of the game. However, one fan has argued that those that are skipping this content are missing some of the best content in the game.
Today, Bungie premiered its “Developer Insights | Runner Shells” video of their PvPvE survival extraction FPS Marathon.

Friendly Fire Studios has confirmed that survival shooter A Long Survive is coming to PSVR 2 in 2026, simultaneously with the SteamVR version.

We can’t wait for you to dive in!
Looks amazing, especially the art style and animations. Not surprising though coming from Moon Studios. Can’t wait for this on PS5!
Ugh i don't know man, ever since this game got announced i was disappointed in the direction they went after the near masterpiece that was Will of the Wisps and i'm not happy that Moon Studios did nothing except work on this game for 6 years since 2020 and i say that cause Ori games especially the second one are one of my favourites ever. But as i understand this is their passion project so i hope it's gonna be worth it in the end for them. I wont be buying this, tried it and it wasn't for me.
Can't wait for the console release (physical would be a huge bonus and get my buy day one).
I’m the type of completionist player that would normally take the time to complete all side quests anyway so I’m looking forward to experiencing these stories for myself. The Witcher 3 had some great side quest stories.
Iv said that a few time son here, the act of the doing the actual side quests suck, but the story and world building g behind 90% of them is fantastic.
If your digging the world and story I would defs do them or a good portion of them atleast.
The side quests are such a slog to get through, like I don’t know if it’s the travelling to them (lack of a dedicated sprint button sucks and not being to do it in villages/towns suck harder), having to fight along the way where battle repetition starts to grate on you or if the side quest just sucks in general
The world building and lore is great in them but I’d rather they have halved the side quests to create more complex ones. They had the same issue in the ViI remake where it felt it was quantity over quality.
The game is so weird because it’s like for every pro to the game there’s a straight up con, that leads to a pro…which leads to a con and so on. I’ve never been so conflicted. I suppose the final say for me will rest on the story and how it ends.
Not everyone has the time to do al the side quests, even if they'd like to. Would be handy to know which were the best ones, so people could make sure they catch them on their playthrough.
The back half the side quest are some of if not the best I’ve ever played and experienced
