Most aren't that great. I do think the 3 + 5 ones are the best. I ended up getting the 3 and 11 ones because 5 was sold out when I logged on. The 11 one I just had to buy to encourage any and all merch related to it at this point.
Not sure if this means 100% we will play just with Clive or if it just implies on what the trailer showed: I am most excited about the summons, they are like real characters. It seems Clive is Ifrit. Also, I can't believe we will have such heath bars for the first time, it reminds me of fighting games but I think its cool.
As beautiful as the trailer looks am I the only FF fan who would like them to return to a turn based combat system or at least some variation of it. I'd even settle for the gambit system form XII. Having said all that when hell finally freezes over and I manage to get a PS5 I will absolutely play XVI.
I guess Bravely Default is essentially this, but I wish Square-Enix would make a side-series of Final Fantasies that keeps the classic turn-based/ATB battle systems alive. I acknowledge that as their tentpole franchise, mainline installments need to be really broadly appealing and real-time combat is where that is currently, but the franchise completely abandoning its roots is disappointing.
I feel like what's most disappointing is how FFXVI just looks like... other battle systems. Devil May Cry in particular, and the Eikon battles look like some sort of Tekken/Pokemon hybrid. With that said, turn-based JRPGs are in a better state than ever and it's not like there's any shortage of incredible ones. Persona 5 Royal, Yakuza Like A Dragon, Dragon Quest XI, The Trails-series...
Final Fantasy XVI looks so bland. I'm sure it will be a good game but will it be a good Final Fantasy game? I have my doubts.
They started to share more info on the characters I was just thinking, by the time this gets released, it will be in development for 7 years. And then people bitch about FF15, no wonder it had such development mess where they had to change it from a trilogy connected to FF13 to a single game in 3 and a half years. Its good Square learned a lesson not to rush things. Its actually funny game is practically completed and yet we have to wait a year because of polishing. Then again, Yoshida is perfectionist, Endwalker was delayed because he wanted it to be perfect.
I've said this before and totally agree. Make a side series that's more humble on budget and development time. Its obvious at this stage the franchise is moving into action and I don't think it'll ever come back but I'd love to bring FF back to its roots in a smaller, classic spin off series.
The opening and build up in this song is just… immaculate. I really hope a remake is coming. Just please for the love of God… let it be turn based.
Uh, I was not prepared for how savage Bravely Default 2's story was going to be! Chapter two boss and revelations, what the fuck!
I bought World of Final Fantasy for the PS4. I would have gotten it on Switch but it was more expensive on that platform. It looks basic gameplay-wise and I'm a bit over everything having a monster-catching mechanic, but it's so cute! The story looks very fun and charming:
World of Final Fantasy is an excellent game, I really enjoyed it and would love if they did a sequel. It's super charming and the gameplay is really fun. Also, people were talking about turn-based, old school FF in the posts above and, well, that's exactly what WoFF is.
It's an animated series adaptation of Final Fantasy IX. https://www.polygon.com/22548568/final-fantasy-9-animation-square-enix-cyber-group https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-9-animated-series-revealed-this-week
