Angry the Clown Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I thought this looked excellent! I'm far from a devotee to the series, but I did enjoy the last instalment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Can't figure out whether I should play FF again. Back in the day I was obsessed. But after FF7 I veered away from JRPGs. Partially because I loved the likes of Fallout, Skyrim, and the Witcher so much. More action-orientated I guess? But also because the RPG game genre got assimilated by ALL other genres. Even sports games are mini-RPGs. That is, the reason I loved RPGs back in the day was to get my unique dose of exploration, story, loot, experience point grinding, skill trees, etc. But now all friggin games have that. I still love me some turn-based tactical RPGs like Divinity and now Baldur's Gate. I'm just trying to figure out if whatever Final Fantasy current is, is something that I would like. I guess I'll just wait for the reviews and try to glean whether the gameplay is something I'd enjoy. I really have no idea what this franchise is anymore.

Angry the Clown Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 If you're getting the PS5 and can take advantage of the 'PS+ Collection' then you'll have XV right there for nothing so can't hurt to try (it might even run smoothly on a PS5!). It's really become a mix of action game and rpg these days. foogledricks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new one looks like it's trying to be Game of Thrones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 The director is Hiroshi Takai who handled The Last Remnant and Final Fantasy XIV. Nomura is seemingly not involved. https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/news/final-fantasy-xvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Jason Schreier confirms that the game has been in development for four years with the last year being in full production. He also says that the game will release much sooner than people think. https://player.fm/series/triple-click/whoa-microsoft-bought-bethesda?t=585 Perhaps maybe a late 2021 or early 2022 title for the PS5?

Dimness Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm more excited for Dragon Quest releases than Final Fantasy now, but I'll stay tuned in and see how it goes. It's crazy to think I was in love with this series until 13. Played 15 for like five minutes, and I just never got back to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I'm tickled by the choice of naming a lead FF character Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 The art direction for XVI is looking really great. I rather liked the weird clash of styles in XV, but the consistency here is nevertheless more compelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Info on the game's world and its divided kingdoms: https://na.finalfantasyxvi.com/world/ Quote The land of Valisthea is studded with Mothercrystals—glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty. Great powers have grown up around each Mothercrystal, and an uneasy peace has long reigned between them. Yet now the peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions.

Romier S Posted December 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 This is a 2023 title all of the way at this point. I’d be shocked if it makes a 2022 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
