The game is broken and trash even before this

tombfan618d ago

Looks like that's only your opinion :) keep the downvotes coming.

Cacabunga618d ago

Honestly tell me what’s good with this FF? It’s a dmc skin with the worst side quests I have ever seen in a game

bartfart618d ago

Dude this FF sucked so bad. I was so disappointed

Cacabunga618d ago

Someone who played this “game”.
Unbelievable how quick it felt low after that good start. So uninteresting, and that Cid voice 🤣 laughable from beginning to end

nommers618d ago (Edited 618d ago )

Story, combat and soundtrack were stellar. You also haven't played many games if you think FFXVI has the worst side quests ever.

EternalTitan618d ago (Edited 617d ago )

Story is wannabe game of thrones with poorly written characters.
And then we have the gameplay and world
No party members
No RPG elements.
Enemies scale to your level making levelling completely pintless.
No elemental weaknesses, resistances and status conditions.
Only one weapon, and 7 'styles' but you can have only 3 active at the same time.
No minigames.
No clothing customizations.
No airships or vehicles.
The horrible sidequests are made by MMO devs, people who have no idea how to make sidequests.
This game is a disaster.

Cacabunga617d ago (Edited 617d ago )

Lol maybe the one who thinks this is stellar is the one who has a narrow vision and hasn’t played enough games..

I even platinumed it.. how about you?

Eternal: same feeling really! Add to that a scripted progress, assisted combat using evasive rings and the ridiculous “world map/stage select”..

Only good thing with this game is you can skip all cutscenes and dialogue in light speed.

@Cacanuga

I did actually. You platinumed it but didn’t enjoy it, how interesting from a psychological standpoint. It must not have been that bad to you after all.

A lot of the things Eternal mentioned are not even true lol.

Most quests are fetch quests from any given game. XVI handles them better than most of them by just having an actual decent story and with many of them being quick. There’s even a skip option with a return to quest giver option making them quicker than even that. How many games in the past 20 years allow for this?

Then there are the hunts and chronolith trials which are pretty fun.

Also you know you aren’t required to use the rings right?

"A lot of the things Eternal mentioned are not even true lol"
Which ones arent true?

nommers616d ago

@Eternal

Poorly written characters? You have no ground on this. Are there better written characters? Sure, but they’re far and few between.

There are obviously party members. Even by yourself you control torgal whom can help extend combos or take down flying enemies quickly. You’ll need use of him more so in Ultimaniac mode too. You can even have Jill and Joshua permanently be at your side after some specific side quests.

You know very well there are RPG elements in the game. Stat enhancement accessories, ability enhancement accessories, upgrading weapons and equipment, leveling up (which enemies don’t entirely scale with you, that’s not accurate). It’s more they get stronger depending on where you are in the story from what I played.

Obviously not just one weapon in the game. It’s one weapon type Clive uses. You can even change its appearance as well as Clive, Jill and Torgals now even if just an alt costume.

A lot of your complaints and others I have seen stem from preferences or expectations, which have nothing to do with the quality of the game. A reason to buy or be excited? Sure. You can make up any reason to buy a game or not. But if this was to grade the game it’s far from objectivity.

Great game. Enjoyed it very much!! I'll go back and platinum it one day. Maybe on hard mode since it unlocked after the game smh (hate that).

FF16 is a very good action game.

Final Fantasy 16 Review – Clive’s Epic Arrives on Xbox - Lords of Gaming

Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox has an epic story, great voice acting, bold combat, and DLC. A flawed but unforgettable journey worth experiencing.

I had a great time with final fantasy 16. I completed all the quests, bounties and unlocked all the ekon abilities. I only need to play through the game on Final fantasy difficulty to unlock the platinum trophy.

*********Possible Spoiler Alert*********
Just a little nitpick I have with the series. It would have been a better if Clive was more militant. Imagine if we got a story like Spartacus.

In addition to that, I am not a fan of the endings we get from the final fantasy games. Some fans like it and say a bitter sweet ending is more memorable but I personally would prefer a new start in a happily ever after ending.

Richard writes: Final Fantasy XVI’s arrival on Xbox is a very welcome one, if you can stomach the unnecessary entry fee for a two-year-old game.

Let them, additional sales will help them for their other FF projects.

Levii_92339d ago

I was about to make fun of this so hard until i read what you've said. I gotta agree, let them.

shinXseijuro339d ago

Making fun of games being more accessible to a larger audience only to strengthen the IP for all the fans in the long run is plain stupid! Let’s all keep it real , aside of Nintendo exclusives are pretty much a thing of the past with all of the games coming to Pc . If everything comes to PC and can be played everywhere on the go there’s no longer an incentive for one to hold dear to a brand in particular when they all end up being able to play the same games .

Extermin8or3_339d ago

In principle there's nothing wrong with this. In reality this game struggles at times on the ps5, now with better optimisation that probably shouldn't be the case but then to go from there to running onnthe switch 2 which is similar innpower to a base ps4.... it is going to run like shit.
