            genshin impact has way more complex/skill based combat along with actual rpg features and an actual rpg world. actual rpg story too. not "muh game thrones"

            you should probably get used to playing it since hoyoverse is replacing squaresoft in realtime in front of your eyes.

                Genshin by default isn't supposed to be hard and has equally stupid optional accessibility option. You gays probably don't remember but Dawei nerfed burning in 1.2 because your average Diluc player would burn to death after using their skill while touching grass.

                The character does a bunch of flashy moves, the screen explodes in numbers and particles and the enemies do frick-all the whole time. Then the character wins.

        >>One rating is from an account with a robust history of reviewing multiple games with in depth justification posts
        Lmao, nice joke. If you think people aren't doing the same thing you accuse negative review scores of doing, but for 10's, then you are delusional. It's essentially nothing but people spamming alt accounts to give the game they like or hate a 10 or a 0, there's nothing in between. And this is just from the first half of the first page of reviews.

        Why people actually try to find value in metacritic user reviews is confusing, they hold less value than the critic scores people like to complain about. Maybe this wasn't the case 5+ years ago but that isn't how it is anymore.

    I wouldn't say its bad. It completely uninspiring, which is amazing since Final Fantasy has always been the pioneer when it comes to the first entry on a new console.

    Everything about it is just a downgrade from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. FF7R looks better, plays better. The characters and narrative from FF7R can range from stupid to batshit insane but FF16 is super safe by just being another boring ass Game of Thrones knockoff.
    Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is going to blow FF16 so goddamn hard no one will remember it.

      Maybe branded weren't allowed, or maybe some stupid adhering to the story but i get what you mean.

      I can't think of any game that actually launches with lip sync for multiple languages. It took Ghost of Tsushima doing the Director's Cut for that to happen. Yes, despite all the Japanese wank they did the PS4 version of Tsushima was English lip sync

        gee how about the game from their own fricking studio? They literally created a special AI for 7r so they could have lipsync for different localization, YoshiP said no to that for some reason

          The first fricking link on google when searching "ff7 remake lip sync" is people on Gamefaqs saying the lip sync is shit.
          >they tried so its okay

          I think Cyberpunk did that.
          But we know that was just a unfinished game so it's not worth celebrating that feature

          and the same thing for this. Both are AI and apparently full of threads of people shitting on how bad it is.

              Many homosexuals apparently. Its more that I'd believe people who play the game instead of a comparison that can cherry pick actually decent looking stuff. If AI was there for lip sync, they wouldn't even do it by hand for the main language. It looks like shit but is passable, like most AI work

                holy cope, the clip uses an in-game cutscene and even then the facial movement is different lmao

            Actually, the lipsync/facial animation AI Square Enix created was a huge deal and they put a ton of resources into them, so it is a mystery why they didn't use it for 16
