Removing the job system was a huge mistake. Even if it was something basic like fighter, dragoon, martial artist, and mage. How did SoP get it so right but mainline get it so wrong?
All but 5 and X-2 don't have job systems, it has never been an integral part of the franchise. 13 is sorta a job system but its more like making 12's gambit system a single button press where you can control what the AI does without setting up all the when X then Y
Crazy how I got mass downvoted on reddit and here for criticising the combat and the fact it had no deeper complexity and would get old fast yet here it is showing up in every reviewers cons. Marketing shilling is real
Still buying the game to spite the ESGtards though
nah, you whoop his ass and take his powers, but he doesn't die
then he becomes your ally, transform into bahamut during the final confrontation with ultima and sacrifices himself to save clive and joshua
Not that anon, but just because I don't want a game that's some shrill annoying social justice propaganda doesn't mean I hate having anything or anyone that lefties like.
I got FF8 in 8th grade, thought it was based, beceause rpgs are gay af,
but I cannot even imagine my 13yo self getting this game, seeing THAT and thinking anything else other than awkward disgust, and would turn the shit off and never play it again
I'm just tired of Barry being used as a scapegoat whenever an anon even dares to speak out even the slightest bit of criticism towards XVI. Granted, he is a mouthbreathing autist but Jesus frick was it annoying when the other side of the aisle also used the tard to deflect everything instead.
Amazing how easy it is for American to project their own world views on others. They act so virtuous and "right", while the rest of us just don't givea frick about your woke ideology. Do you honestly think that nips give one flying frick about your representation quotas? They openly state they think less of others.
Xenoblade has 1/3 of mainline final fantasy budget. They overperform in their games, only their combat is mediocre, chain attack in 3 trivialise everything
They are definitely biased but in the end it doesn't really matter. We all know which game is going to have a longer lasting impact. And XVI still has a better open critic
Yeah, they're all pretty well liked. The issue comes with the fact that people don't realize they all go for different styles. That's why the fanbase is split between people who only like 1 but hate or are neutral towards the other 2.
Literally every single review says the story is badly paced and the game has the worst side quests they have played in any RPG. Isn't that like, really fricking bad for a 40 hour game?
Why are you lying? I literally just watched DFs vid and they said its stable 30fps at 1080p on steady mode, only HIGH mode is unstable 30 because its above 1080p you stupid frick
It's hilarious how you're all reduced to say >b... but at least it's better than FFXV
when a week ago you were bolstered enough to pretend it will overtake TOTK and starfield for GOTY
At least now you will not overstep your boundaries
because zelda is a sacred cow, dipshit.
dogshit series that's been terrible for decades now, but it still sells like hotcakes and receives zero criticism.
The voice acting and direction so far has been pretty great. I recognized Clive's dad as Lucas Grey from Hitman and Cid as Charles Vane from Ass Creed Black Flag, they both have great and very recognizable voices
What's the issue?
NEO is fricking great outside of some pacing issues.
You have great cast, combat, music, and a pretty good story (outside of pacing). The side content is also pretty good.
>actual RPG mechanics >boss fights have differing mechanics and hit states >elemental system has the elements actually do different things >sidequests and loot actually mean a damn
It’s not a surprise tbqh
>How does magic damage work? Or magic generally? I saw some of the demo where Clive uses Fire but he doesn't have a separate magic stat.
>The short version of this answer is that there is no traditional elemental magic system in FF16. That’s why there’s no separate magic stat.
>Here’s how it works: Clive can equip up to three Eikons (that’s the summons), and you can cycle between which Eikon he’s currently using with L2. Which Eikon he’s using determines which ‘magic attack’ is on the triangle button.
>So with Shiva equipped, it’ll be Ice magic. With Ifrit, Fire, and so on. However, all of these attacks are basically only different visually - they all function the same, and there’s no elemental strengths and weaknesses involved. So switching to Ifrit and using its magic bursts against an icy enemy doesn’t do any additional damage. Really, the magic bursts assigned to the Triangle button is functionally Clive’s version of the pistols in Devil May Cry - a ranged option to keep up the pressure.
>In addition, the Eikon’s abilities and skills are often considered magic - so Shvia’s Diamond Dust is naturally considered Ice magic, for instance.
>Why does this matter if there’s no elemental resistance? Well, certain enemies will cast Protect on their allies - and when this happens, they obtain a shield that cannot be broken with physical attacks. You have to hit the shield with magic - of any element - to shatter it, and can then resume your normal comboing. But really, that’s the most separate magic gets - otherwise it just forms part of combos as your most flashy moves.
Well, that fricking sucks.
forget all this barry shit or talk about gays and blacks or whatever, this is why XVI sounds like shit to me. this and XIV proves this dev's team really fricking hates RPGs for some reason and can't even handle the most basic b***h mechanics that even childrens' games can pull off

So, no DoT? No slowdown or immobilization passive effects? How the frick is this an RPG again?
Even SoP has different elements + jobs + weapons. Hell, I'm willing to bet that SoP has more equipment customizability solely through armor considering that you can get tons of passives that way.
Fricking SoP is more of a action-rpg then FF16, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's also more of a character action game too.
Pretty sure each magic type has different counter/punish types. I notice no where in this essay these are mentioned. So I can assume whomever wrote it did nothing but hit the dodge button.

post funny ffxvi reviews that doesnt make any sense
How about Game Informer:
>“I’m not exaggerating when I say that there was a moment in FFXVI, a boss fight that lasted what felt like an hour, I’d call my favorite moment in Final Fantasy, and even more than that, all of gaming. It’s unforgettable and demonstrates Creative Business Unit III's confidence and command over the brand. That this moment is nearly topped by another later in the game speaks to the extreme highs of FFXVI, which accentuate the otherwise fine and predictably bloaty lows of a Final Fantasy RPG.”
I looked it up on twitter and she gave it 8.5 because she tried to be objective, but she says its a 10/10 in her heart
https://twitter.com/LeBlancWes/status/1671521309849710592 >basically consumers will praise it and
Frankly the only true failing of the game is that Ultima isn't a good villain. Anabella should have usurped it be the final boss, or at the very least it should have possessed her body/been her all along so that in the end it's Clive vs his mom.
>battles can lack variety >some pacing issues
So it's a repeat of FF7R? Just running in a straight line fighting the same guys over and over for 30+ hours?
What is with this franchise and being so anti-videogame? It's like these games are made by people who have never played a video game in their life and don't understand what makes them fun.
Tbf Xenoblade 3's DLC is fricking great. If FF16 can have maps half as well designed, we're in for a treat. It's pure dopamine when you create bridges to find secrets which then go back to power up your characters.
Not to mention prettt sure Dark Souls runs way worse than Xenoblade 3 FR.
Yes and?
Also I hope you realize you're calling a JRPG generic in a fricking FF16 thread. You know, a JRPG that gave up on RPG elements so it could be DMC x GoW.
nbody said that except one gay, i bet nobody of the shill reviewers is even noticing there is no niggys also who cares they are literally not important for a story the problems of FF16 seem geuine it just aint that great. We will know when the game is out.
How do it feel to realize that Squeenix has effectively been reduced to the point that the only guy on staff who cares about relatively fun and engaging gameplay is Nomura of all people? There's a lot to criticize about KH3 and FF7R but goddamn...
I want to kill Barry. Literally kill Barry. No other character can come close to relating to how much I want to kill Barry. There is no way you can convince me not to kill Barry. Killing Barry could not possibly be anymore me. I want to kill Barry, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of not killing Barry, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that I want to kill Barry. I want to kill Barry, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that I shouldn't kill Barry is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and killing Barry side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely think of killing Barry every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see killing Barry every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how much I want to kill Barry. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday that I want to kill Barry in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with wanting to kill Barry and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how much I want to kill Barry, it's not a hope or a dream, it's like a hunger. A thirst.
>Final Fantasy games used to be pushed by Sony to show off the systems graphics >No longer has that, numerous other devs do far better now >The series was never about the graphics it's about the story >New game getting criticized for a shit story >I-it's about the gameplay now OK?!?!?
Should be a 9 easily. This is why free-to-play is taking over. Kids will see these ratings from the retro mafia and watch it on Youtube, then go back to buying the new jeans available at their favorite 5/10 free game store.
I'm not defending it because I think the stagger system is a garbage time wasting worst implementation of a stagger system, but how many game journalists do you think were actually able to make decent use of the mechanic?
>nagging criticisms be damned - this game is special
lol
lmao
More like nigging.
>RPG Site
>FF16 not an RPG
Maybe they'd give it more points if it did their job and was an actual fricking RPG
Removing the job system was a huge mistake. Even if it was something basic like fighter, dragoon, martial artist, and mage. How did SoP get it so right but mainline get it so wrong?
None of the most popular FFs have job systems tard
Because they have whole characters to back it up.
it's rpg
No it's a shitty action game.
There's no RPG here.
RPG how
This!!!1! So much this!1!1!1!! And also let's not forget so racist and lacking diversity!!!!
>he thinks those things are good things
>Cid
lmao have a nice day Cid
how about a Job system? Stranger of Paradise had them.
All but 5 and X-2 don't have job systems, it has never been an integral part of the franchise. 13 is sorta a job system but its more like making 12's gambit system a single button press where you can control what the AI does without setting up all the when X then Y
This is fricking refarded
And i am too it seems
Crazy how I got mass downvoted on reddit and here for criticising the combat and the fact it had no deeper complexity and would get old fast yet here it is showing up in every reviewers cons. Marketing shilling is real
Still buying the game to spite the ESGtards though
go back
>Still buying the game to spite the ESGtards though
Yeah, you're really showing them by buying a game with gay shit in it
I will take gays over nigs any day.
I would take Black folk over gays any second
I get to murder him then frick Jill, don't I?
nah, you whoop his ass and take his powers, but he doesn't die
then he becomes your ally, transform into bahamut during the final confrontation with ultima and sacrifices himself to save clive and joshua
Not that anon, but just because I don't want a game that's some shrill annoying social justice propaganda doesn't mean I hate having anything or anyone that lefties like.
Not him, but you're far more of a sensitive pussy than him. Please go back.
Also not that anon but he sounds a lot more well-adjusted mentally speaking than you do
I got FF8 in 8th grade, thought it was based, beceause rpgs are gay af,
but I cannot even imagine my 13yo self getting this game, seeing THAT and thinking anything else other than awkward disgust, and would turn the shit off and never play it again
what a disappointment that was. the demo was better. I'm also 37
you'd actually like it if you gave it a second chance
>spite the ESGtards by buying their game
this is hogwarts all over again. ebin
down boated
It's not though?
go back
It feels good that we can finally speak out mind in here without being called Barry or haters. It helps that the marketers are going away too.
I'm a long time FF fan, I don't want FF to be this.
I'm just tired of Barry being used as a scapegoat whenever an anon even dares to speak out even the slightest bit of criticism towards XVI. Granted, he is a mouthbreathing autist but Jesus frick was it annoying when the other side of the aisle also used the tard to deflect everything instead.
And this is coming from a moron that ate up XIV.
>AIIIEIIEEEEEIIYOU CANT DISAGREE WITH MY MENTALLY ILL SHITPOSTING
dbspics everyone
Why is RPG site reviewing and action game?
>repetitive side content
Ooof, just with that you know it won't be good. This is where the soul of a game lies, no exceptions.
They gave ffxv the same score kek
and FFXV is hot garbage. frick
better than ff16
no, both seems equally shit
ffxv runs 1080p on fricking base ps4
ff16 is 720p on ps5
>ffxv runs
at a dynamic 1080p (not locked) and it can't even hold a stable 30fps lol
dota 2 runs at like 200fps on old PCs, guess it's better than both combined.
???
ff15 1080p on ps4
ff16 720 on ps5
yes it does
DF confirmed xv is 1080p
it was only ep duscae that was dynamic 900p
still higher than ff16s 720p
Scoreboard
ff16 lost
eurogamer review literally complains about the game being too white
they compensate it with gay romance
no, for leftists it's never enough, if they find something to complain about they will, no matter if there's other pozzed shit in
When does Clive leave Jill and kiss him?
>ff15 1080p on ps4
it is
wrong
its 1080p on ps4 while the demo from 2015 was 900p dynamic and DF said steady mode is stable 30
it isn't
it uses dynamic resolution and can barely hold over 20 fps most of the time
why are you lying?
So you're just lying
ff16 is 720p here sub 30fps
>n-no u
it's a dynamic 1080p and you can't use steady mode on base PS4 you rat
>ff15 1080p on ps4
>ff16 720 on ps5
This has to be a joke
>88 with the +20 gay bonus
would be 68 without the gay sex scene
>+20 gay bonus
>Nulled by the -30 lack of diversity
yes but it also has +20 sony exclusive bonus
gays are significantly worth less points than Black folk. Especially since he’s a white male
That's when you realize critic journalism is all a sham and bs
>excellent combat, visuals, and narrative
so it's better than ff15? thank you, can't wait to play it.
This is already shaping up to be the 8.8 of this era
here is your "critique" for ff16.
>the fact that there were black and brown people in medieval europe

But Japanese companies left the Japanese market behind. they don't care, they're trying to sell to America.
no they're not. they want that sweet dei investor pedophile money
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM I WONDER IF THERE'S A BIAS HERE
Xenoblade has 1/3 of mainline final fantasy budget. They overperform in their games, only their combat is mediocre, chain attack in 3 trivialise everything
xenoblade is literal dogshit, the series hasn't been good since gears. saga was also bad.
Well, he isn't wrong, though it's still the worst entry
i mean, by the standards of """"""modern"""""" JRPGs, i suppose XB3 is a 10.
XB3 is the better game.
And it had 1/10 of the budget on a shorter development time.
yes, the bias of actually having good taste.
They are definitely biased but in the end it doesn't really matter. We all know which game is going to have a longer lasting impact. And XVI still has a better open critic
>xenoblade 3
>3
>the one xe2 and xe1 hate
what a loud of bs.
Xenoblade 3 is well liked outside of very loud voices.
Check the user scores on meta or backloggd.
2 is still the most divisive game.
2 is well liked outside of very loud voices too. Japan loves it more than the other 2 games.
Yeah, they're all pretty well liked. The issue comes with the fact that people don't realize they all go for different styles. That's why the fanbase is split between people who only like 1 but hate or are neutral towards the other 2.
Flop of the year
But enough about Final Fantasy
Was this recently?
Jesus christ just how much money does he spend on this shit. No wonder he barely plays vidya
Literally every single review says the story is badly paced and the game has the worst side quests they have played in any RPG. Isn't that like, really fricking bad for a 40 hour game?
Why did rpg site become such ninty and pc wiener gobblers
>mfw FFsisters were hailing this as a GOTY contender
Why are you lying? I literally just watched DFs vid and they said its stable 30fps at 1080p on steady mode, only HIGH mode is unstable 30 because its above 1080p you stupid frick
>xvi-kun posting his fake screenshot in every thread because he lost
It's not real
>nagging criticisms be damned, this game is special

This is moronic, if he truly meant what he wrote than the score should be a 10
This is exactly what some reviews said about Zelda but they still give it a 10 lol. Its genuinely crazy
It's hilarious how you're all reduced to say
>b... but at least it's better than FFXV
when a week ago you were bolstered enough to pretend it will overtake TOTK and starfield for GOTY
At least now you will not overstep your boundaries

>Battles lack variety
>Repetitive side content
>Pacing issues
>Performance woes
How come Zelda TOTK gets a 10 with those same issues x100??
Because nintendo bonus.
zelda gets the kids gloves treatment from all reviewers.
XVI is running on a MUCH stronger hardware
because zelda is a sacred cow, dipshit.
dogshit series that's been terrible for decades now, but it still sells like hotcakes and receives zero criticism.
Because you can approach battles and puzzles a million different ways.
But you just need to solve a puzzle once, whats the point of millions of approaches?
>whats the point of millions of approaches?
Fun?
You can't say that word around here.
because it's an actual video game and not a glorified movie where you have to mash the button occasionally
Is it better if you play a glorified anime where you build some random shit occasionally?
Not him but I prefer playing games over watching movies. And I'd rather play anime games than watch nippon GoT, yes.
>glorified anime
but you see, fighting the same bokoblin 10000 times is different because nintendo.
right? I'd much rather just press one button and just be finished with it
good job equipping the moron journalist accessories
moron journalist accessories for the moron journalist audience
cheers mate
the biggest dissonance between final words and final score i've seen yet. those final words imply a 9.5
why do you homosexuals put so much stock in what moron game journos think
Ganker disgusts me
The voice acting and direction so far has been pretty great. I recognized Clive's dad as Lucas Grey from Hitman and Cid as Charles Vane from Ass Creed Black Flag, they both have great and very recognizable voices
So the game is fun and the combat is great, and the only real criticism is "not enough blacks in medieval times"?
I'll enjoy playing it later.
Nb4 gaslighting attempts to say this game is an rpg
the schizophrenia in these therads.
does it ever end
why are Japs so based?
http://blog.esuteru.com/archives/10063326.html
I see the gay kiss scene but I see nothing but "trust me bro" on that there's any gay sex scene. I saw evidence of straight one though.
There is no sex scenes on screen moron.
That's not what I was told 🙂
the funny part is that sex is fade to black but the kiss is played on screen
I told you Black folk game journos sucked.

it's not. it's been abundanrly clear that FF16 is an action game for a while now.
Dude, even DMC has elemental weaknesses. What the frick is FFXVI’s excuse?
Even SoP has different elements + jobs + weapons. Hell, I'm willing to bet that SoP has more equipment customizability solely through armor considering that you can get tons of passives that way.
Fricking SoP is more of a action-rpg then FF16, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's also more of a character action game too.
See
It's basically just journalist moronation
Anon, multiple reviews at this point have commented on the game’s lack of RPG elements.
Pretty sure each magic type has different counter/punish types. I notice no where in this essay these are mentioned. So I can assume whomever wrote it did nothing but hit the dodge button.
Wow thats terrible
its barely even an rpg
Was this a sabotage project? These Black folk only make good games for Nintendo.
They're designing for the XIV audience. XIV is barely an rpg too.
“This game is special” gives it 8/10. Lmao journalists are braindead

Tbf Xenoblade 3's DLC is fricking great. If FF16 can have maps half as well designed, we're in for a treat. It's pure dopamine when you create bridges to find secrets which then go back to power up your characters.
Not to mention prettt sure Dark Souls runs way worse than Xenoblade 3 FR.
that generic jrpg shit is not as good as dark souls 1. the point is reviewers will praise ANY slop and there is no consistency.
>DEATHLOOP is a 10.
Yes and?
Also I hope you realize you're calling a JRPG generic in a fricking FF16 thread. You know, a JRPG that gave up on RPG elements so it could be DMC x GoW.
Anon deathloop got the Black person bonus, opposite of the no Black person tax
>If FF16 can have maps half as well designed, we're in for a treat
based on XIV's map design, I'm going to say it's unlikely
they are very barren and you travel on foot or chocobo. The movement feels like shit, in Dragons Dogma at least you can spam Mad Dash

Except if you're basing that on reviews and the score, it is objectively a great game borderline amazing
it may be, but it isn't a final fantasy game
It is literally called Final Fantasy though.
I can call my wiener an umbrella stick. it doesn't make it one

the signs are right in front of people's faces. I guess they're colorblind and can't see red flags
So why didn't flopspoken get 10s across the board?
Objectively a shit game, with a shitty presentation and a shitty main character.
It’s Japanese.
Yeah that was pretty wild.
lol this kinda makes me wanna support the game but nope, its great he made the regions accurate but sorry i need RPG in the JRPG and no homosexualry.

Isn this the gay game? Crazy it didn't 10 across the board
I'd actually buy it if it was a jrpg. fricking losers
They are called rpg, racist
such a bastardize term
You need to be turbo pozzed to really stand out nowadays, normal pozz isn't cutting it anymore.
How do it feel to realize that Squeenix has effectively been reduced to the point that the only guy on staff who cares about relatively fun and engaging gameplay is Nomura of all people? There's a lot to criticize about KH3 and FF7R but goddamn...
>4 homies in a row>slop devil may cry clone
I want to kill Barry. Literally kill Barry. No other character can come close to relating to how much I want to kill Barry. There is no way you can convince me not to kill Barry. Killing Barry could not possibly be anymore me. I want to kill Barry, and nobody can convince me otherwise. If anyone approached me on the topic of not killing Barry, then I immediately shut them down with overwhelming evidence that I want to kill Barry. I want to kill Barry, it is indisputable. Why anyone would try to argue that I shouldn't kill Barry is beyond me. If you held two pictures of me and killing Barry side by side, you'd see no difference. I can safely think of killing Barry every day and say "Yup, that's me". I can practically see killing Barry every time I look at myself in the mirror. I go outside and people stop me to comment how much I want to kill Barry. I chuckle softly as I'm assured everyday that I want to kill Barry in every way. I can smile each time I get out of bed every morning knowing that I've found my identity with wanting to kill Barry and I know my place in this world. It's really quite funny how much I want to kill Barry, it's not a hope or a dream, it's like a hunger. A thirst.
he is an abos from brisbane so idk if u will ever get to him
>Final Fantasy games used to be pushed by Sony to show off the systems graphics
>No longer has that, numerous other devs do far better now
>The series was never about the graphics it's about the story
>New game getting criticized for a shit story
>I-it's about the gameplay now OK?!?!?
what console game has better graphics than ff16?
Exactly. Starfield will be GOTY.
Should be a 9 easily. This is why free-to-play is taking over. Kids will see these ratings from the retro mafia and watch it on Youtube, then go back to buying the new jeans available at their favorite 5/10 free game store.
Well at least there's still Dragon's Dogma 2 to look forward to and all they have to do is remake DD1 with the intended content.
>Capcom troony shit
sorry as much as I like dragons dogma Capcom is fricking dead to me
those wiener suckers ruins breath of fire. why won't dd be any different?
Who cares, I'm going to play it and if find out for myself if I enjoy it or not
I'm not defending it because I think the stagger system is a garbage time wasting worst implementation of a stagger system, but how many game journalists do you think were actually able to make decent use of the mechanic?
Why did YoshiP put /misc/ memes in the game?
Shieeeeeeeet
Look trustworthy enough
Not the same reviewer though
