Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Aside from gameplay, the tone and story felt closer to a traditional FF game than, say, 13 or 15. A medieval story about multiple warring nations with crystals and an evil god wannabe lurking in the background. The game might be dark, but so were 2 and 4 which are the ones I'd put closest to 16 story-wise.

Hell, even for gameplay this is the direction FF has been moving in steadily for the past several games. From 12 to 15 there was a fairly straightforward march from traditional turn based to steadily more action-oriented. This is the natural next step in that chain.

Needs to include Coronzon after how they were left by Touma. A withering fragment of their former self now trapped in their own body they have no control over.

That reminds me, so is Coronzon both stuck in her physical vessel while also existing in Da'at at the same time or...

I forgot :hm

EDIT: I read Aleister for some reason.

And no, there isn’t a version of them still in the Abyss. The being themself specifically descended down the Sephirot to the physical plane. Crowley even tried sending them back with a spell as a last resort in their battle.

And now Coronzon is powerless and unable to return to Da’at, her body now a prison she’s trapped in and forced to share with the one human she hated most of all. To call it a fate worse than death for them is an understatement

Yeah I disagree with most of that too. Not much different than a lot of the medieval games. Just darker in tone for it, about the only problem I see from gameplay is some sidequests and I'll gladly take some sidequests being boring over whatever the hell 15's story was trying to be for 80% of its run.


As for the action gameplay, all I want is to have good gameplay whether it's action or turn based. 15 had potential but a lot of it got squandered with its Qte's, holding the button to attack and phase through attacks and Noctis's movement being jank.

That and the infinite items inventory makes it so that you're never in any real danger of dying in the game either :skully .

Well okay I guess I sorta lied about dying because the amount of times getting a game over from the air car thing accidentally touching the ground wrong was enough to irritate me :mjlol. You even graze the ground slightly during the drop and you're done :skully.

What’s really funny is the board has to say yes to his demands because yoshida keeps making them shitloads of money and has single handedly repaired a ton of fan trust in square…or more accurately people trust CBU3 because they’ve gone out of their way to communicate with the players and they just make damn solid games

overall, top 5 games so far, for goty are

- hi fi rush
- ff16
- zelda totk
- wo long (after months, i almost fully completed it, and yeah changed my mind, its a peer to sekiro, really underestimated)
- jedi survivor (yeah, it aint as long as the previous one, but it is far superior in every aspect, almost)/re4 remake mostly cause of remake nostalgia, i still prefer the original, especially the wii version
