      Agreed. FF16 has a lot of flaws and a lot of undeveloped characters, but Clive ain't one of them. Great VA too.
      Noctis isn't awful though, but his game does him dirty.

    A protagonist needs to actually be a character. Noctis isn't that to begin with, he's a self-insert. Clive is boring but at the bare minimum he actually is a character

    Noctis was so boring. They should have kept some elements of Versus XIII and leaned into the emo edgelord personality more instead of the milquetoast shit we got. There’s nothing unique about not liking veggies and enjoying trips with your friends.

    Serious question for English speaking Anons (and anons who play in English)
    Do you prefer the American style VA's that were used for FF15 or the British and European VA's that were used for FF16?
    Question only for the English dub here, I'd like to know what is more pleasing to the ear even if you aren't English I suppose, British and European or American English for a Final Fantasy game?

      The VA for XVI as well as the cutscene direction is the best in the series. Playing the Rebirth demo makes it even more apparent

        British 10 times out of 10.

        The direction that FF16 took with its voice acting is what future FF’s should strive to be, at least for all medieval-like or fantasy settings. Going back to campy generic JRPG dialogue is retrogressive.

        I find American VA's grating these days. It doesn't help that a number of them are vocal about hating gamers

        The voice acting and direction for 16 was phenomenal, it's probably the first time I played through the entire game in English despite the JP option being available.

        Thank you for the honest replies Anons, there will be some people very happy to hear their hard work was appreciated, much love xx.

      It would depend on the setting. For FFXVI's setting the British studio was very obviously the right choice.

      What I fear most for the rumored FF IX remake is getting California VA's for that. Steiner won't be right without some NORF accent.

    >Protagonist
    I like them both equally
    >World
    They both had squandered potential, but I liked exploring XV's more
    >Gameplay
    Enjoyed both, but XV had more variety and combat to pull off in the end. XVI's felt tighter but more limited. However the DLC fight in XVI is the peak between both of them, so XVI wins this one out
    >Graphics
    XV looks better. Those chocobos, man.
    >Music
    XV, except for XVI's "chase the flame" which is great
    >Side characters
    Equal. XVI had a great albeit underutilized supporting cast. XV's band of bros are forever imprinted in my brain.
    >overall
    I like both, but XV appealed to my heart, which is what FF should always strive to do. I had to warm up to XVI after initial disappointment. So overall XV > XVI for me, but I'm still looking forward to the Leviathan DLC
    >Closing thoughts
    People who play XIV should kill themselves and refrain from ever talking about FF games.

        Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
        And all that’s best of dark and bright
        Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
        Thus mellowed to that tender light
        Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

        One shade the more, one ray the less,
        Had half impaired the nameless grace
        Which waves in every raven tress,
        Or softly lightens o’er her face;
        Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
        How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

        And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
        So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
        The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
        But tell of days in goodness spent,
        A mind at peace with all below,
        A heart whose love is innocent!"
