  • Final Fantasy XVI

    From Ganiman@21:3/174 to All on Mon Jun 12 11:43:38 2023
    Final Fantasy XVI had a pre-launch event last night and the demo hit PSN today around the world. I think it looks great so far. I've got the demo installed and will dig into it later tonight. I've got the Collector's Edition, Dual Sense and a couple of Torgals ordered too.

    Is anyone else in bbs-land planning to play?

    I would do, if the game was going to be released for PC. But looks like I have to wait for now...

    I've had it for a week and am maybe a little more than halfway through. What the game is trying to do and what it wants you to do are executed extremely well. There are things the game doesn't do as well as other Final Fantasy games too, for example, exploration is not well rewarded and you are almost better off going directly between points A and B during your main and side quests and not wasting a lot of time off of those paths. The story is fantastic, the combat works very well, the hunt marks are fun and can be challenging. It is highly enjoyable for me. I don't typically love doing tons of sidequests, but I havent skipped any so far because they aren't too daunting. It is heavy with cutscenes, and the balance between watching cutscens and actually playing can be off at times, but they are well done and engaging for the most part. I'd give it a 9/10 if I were scoring. Its a lot of fun, and like I said the things it is really trying to focus on it really nails.

    I will say that the exploring thing doesn't matter until after you have beat the game. then you will want to have all the lillith statues and things like that. Remember the statues are permanent buffs across all characters. Even if you make a seasonal character. Once you have end game content going more map means more quests and more found dungeons, more loot ect. Right now get your horse. Thats what matters now then do what you want. I took so long getting to that part of the story because I wanted to do all the side quests as I went. So much faster once you have the horse. You get that at the top of Act IV.
