You do know what the J stands for right?
It has absolutely nothing to do with turn-based.
If you absolutely have to fit in Action, then FFXVI is a Action-based JRPG, precis som Secret of Mana, The Tales franchise, the newer Star Ocean games, FFXV, FFVII Remake, FFXIII Lightning Returns etc
It absolutely doesn't deserve the hate, but comparing FFXIII and FFXVI is just plain stupid. They're nothing a like.
I absolutely loved FFXIII trilogy, but I also loved the other games in the francu.
FFXIII was a corridor game with no possibility to ever go back.
FFX had the same structure, but the difference was that you could actually get back to previous zones, and even had to if you wanted to defeat Dark Aeons etc
FFXVI is a ...
He doesn't say it the best, just that he had strongest relationship to it because it was his first Final Fantasy.
“FINAL FANTASY VIII. Ok, I’m going to qualify this – it doesn’t mean I hate all the other ones, or even that I think it’s the best – but it’s the one I have the strongest relationship with because it’s the first one I played. It’s the game that introduced me to this world, to this series."
Well if you want to spin something, he doesn't say FFVIII is the best, but that it was the first one he played and therefore has strongest relationship with.

You're mentioning old games (which I already did) and the rest is not RPGs.
Final Fantasy XIV of course.
But other action rpgs that are amazing is both new God of War and The Witcher 3.
All those 3 games are the closest I'd say to FFXVI.
I'm 40, and started my Final Fantasy career with FFII (FFIV).
With favourites like FFVI, VII and X, XVI is absolutely one of the best of the series.
The way it tells the story, especially through sidequests is what's captivates me most, but also the gameplay, the music and the amazing bosses are on the best the series ever seen.
I don't understand why the age of 25-30 would be a bad thing thou.
I'm 40, have played Final Fantasy since mid 90, and right now playing one of the best games ever made.
Why would I need to "reevaluate" anything?

Whole song is great, but from 1.32 into the video is where I get goosebumps ❤️
@Charlie

These "fans" that always think stuff about everything, that makes it a journalist dream, they must be in the millions, right?
I think Spider-Man 2 is doomed now .. //s
@Luc20
I've got 2 jobs and 2 kids (every other week).
I never have time to play through all my games, and my backlog is growing bigger every day.
However I buy everything that I might find time to play, and then some games that I make time for.
Like now, it's FFXVI.
Must play games from my list above is only Starfield, Spider-Man 2 and Avatar.
Rest would be if Inhave time.
Luckoly I'll have 1 month with BG3 a...
Yeah,
I'll do:
BG3
Starfield
Spider-Man 2
Avatar
Like A Dragon Gaiden
Atlas Fallen
Skylines 2
Helldivers 2
And whatever jrpg that comes out
Which 1st Party studio from MS has made a good RPG last 20 years?
I agree that in Final Fantasy Mode, they are a bit too much. Titan Phase 2 took over 30 minutes 😊
But still love every encounter and will soon start my third run.
3rd Phase, the one between cliffs... Music there hit do hard, I had to download the song and put it on repeat 😅
All the Eikon battles were extremely good, but my favourites are Titan and Bahamut.
I get goosebumps just thinking about them, and the music is Epic.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (PS5, PS4)
Alan Wake Remastered (PS5, PS4)
Endling: Extinction is Forever (PS5, PS4)
Dragons Dogma is not "rpg elements". It's an amazing rpg.
