    I still enjoyed the game, but it fell flat compared to FFXV.
    XV had a much bigger map, you could drive/fly a car, drive a boat, play as the four bros, and the weapons were awesome.
    XVI feels too textbook oriented, as in it focused more on the story than the actual gameplay. Clive doesn’t really stand out as an FF lead character, he just has a single sword, a majority of the cutscenes is just dialogue and monologuing and you don’t necessarily explore the world. You just fast travel to the mission, do it, then go back to the hideaway. I love a game with a good story, but it needs to be balanced with great game mechanics (that’s kinda why Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game series).
    Overall, it’s still a great game and I do recommend it. But compared to other entries like FFXV, VII Remake, and Dissidia, it just didn’t hold up.
    That’s just my opinion of course

      @@adinwut I did not like XV that much honestly and XVI had a leg up in some areas, but, overall, XVI is a bigger disappointment to me. I think it's because I feel like the series has not hit it out of the park since FFX. Not counting FF7R as it's not really the mainline series anymore. It's more of it's own thing at this point. I have honestly lost hope for the main, numbered series.

      It also feels a little bit of what KH4 should do with its combat especially with reaction commands and there are some brilliant ideas if they wanna bring back dual wielding it’s an important game for square whether you like it or not plus they didn’t overhype 16 like kh3 and FF15.

    It's impossible to pick a true Final Fantasy game because they're all different. But XVI's RPG elements are very shallow and every weapon and level feels streamlined. It can be action/adventure if it wants, but it could've been at least straightforward imo

    It is 100% not a final Fantasy, it's a below average game with a final Fantasy label on it to sell it. I love the series but this is piss poor. Dead dialogue, mono-toned voices, poor interaction visuals, no secrets, no special weapons, no mega bosses and so much more.
    I had fun the moment I stopped treating it like a final Fantasy and just played it as A game.

  • @BlackWolf207
    @BlackWolf207 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I finished the game and I agree with most of what you said. I spoke with a few people I know who also bought the game and we are all pretty much on the same page. My cousin couldn’t even finish the game cuz he said he got bored and I don’t even blame him lol. It started out so strong and it was cool as a one time thing, but I just don’t wanna play it again. There is no way this game is an 8, 9, or 10 like so many have rated it. It’s a 7 and that’s being incredibly generous. 7 remake’s combat is perfect, but in this game it’s full on flashy action. And the story is definitely disappointing since it’s straight up boring sometimes with generally boring characters (Byron was my favorite).
    Although there are a few things that I don’t agree with or are just wrong (mainly minor things). First, Clive being called Cid did make sense for the most part: he took up the original Cid’s mission of helping bearers and destroying the crystals. Also, keeping the name of Cid alive would also help keep people’s spirits up. It’s not a super great reason, but whatever.
    The next few things about the combat are kinda minor. Zantetsuken DOES one hit KO every non boss enemy, but you have to upgrade it to unlock Lv 5 Zantetsuken. Lv 5 will for sure kill every enemy, it was essential for me wiping out bad guys in the last stretch of the game on Ash because there are like a million enemies there. In the video your gauge went up to Lv3 Zantetsuken max so maybe you just didn’t upgrade it. Also there technically are weaknesses. On the right side of the screen it’ll say “Eikonic vulnerability” for certain eikons, but it barely makes a difference so I’m not surprised you missed it.
    FFX is my favorite game of all time. While I miss the turn based RPG battles, I do understand why they are moving away from that, even if I don’t like that. Also I still feel like in a way we are all responsible for what we got. By that I mean that the entire internet complained about FF15’s empty open world, unfocused story, and more modern setting. With 16 they ended up giving us the exact opposite of that, and we are still unhappy. Like you said, maybe I need to just learn my lesson and stop buying mainline FF games cuz we just gonna end up disappointed lol.

      There are plenty of open world games with good story in them. It’s just that this game went overboard trying to cater to popular things. DMC Combat, Game of Thrones story, except both DMC and GoT did it WAAAY better. They need to go back to basics. No turn based is fine, but keep some dang strategy in the game. Make interesting characters and don’t kill all the good ones off like Cid and Benedicta. Make a good, marketable villain, not some weirdo telling riddles with a God complex. At least Sephiroth looked and sounded cool. Ultima only had a cool name, not design and was boring.

Ignoring the rest of FF7 though is what I'm doing in that example, the same way you are ignoring the geopolitics and character development the likes of Clive and Joshua and even Dion go through. Enjoy your weird alternate dimension and time travel bullshit in Rebirth man, I'm sure it won't absolutely ruin everything FF7 did. The "core" of FF7 was about how it tackled corporate greed and environmentalism, mixed with the harsh realities of military, now we have weird time travel and alternate dimensions, its ruined.

      I have no issue with the game being a success but, as it currently stands, Final Fantasy 7 Remake has more sales and acclaim from both fans and critics alike. Whereas lots of people dislike 16 and think it’s a boring experience after the first 5-10 hours. Over time, this will not translate to being one of the greatest Final Fantasy games.

      You get 37 abilities spread across 8 different eikons. That's already plenty, considering you can equip 9 abilities at a given time. Any more than that, and you're honestly asking for a clunky gaming experience as you switch between eikon sets to use abilities.
      Seriously, this game has a very flexible combat system that allows for a lot of options and experimentation. Nothing is inherently overpowered or underpowered, so it's all up to player input and creativity.

    So many things in this review are factually wrong. Such as it being a button masher and the story being confusing and convoluted. Its like you didnt play the game. Not once do you ever need to open up the compendium to understand the main story. Idk how you can make so many points about a game in what was supposed to be a review without any examples to back them up.

    • @RoshadLamar
      @RoshadLamar  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In order to understand the history of the nations, you literally have to read about it. They don't go into any detail about Rosaria's history with the Iron Kingdom compared to what you can read about. That is just one example of many. That was the whole reason they put the compendium there, is so that confused people could fill in the gaps.I have a full understanding of the story and lore, I just don't like it.

    • @chriselias3881
      @chriselias3881 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @RoshadLamar Nope. Sorry, that was all explained to you through both in-game dialogue and a cutscene given by Vivian Ninetales in the main story, literally just before you go to destroy the mothercrystal over there. Anything explained in the compendium about that history and plot point is given to you in that cutscene. Why the Iron Kingdom got ahold of Drake's Breath, why they have been at war with Rosaria, the religion of theirs and the fact they start wars with every nation because they want control of all the mothercrystals. Everything single thing regarding that history (which is not related to the immediate plot, but given anyway) is given to you there. In addition to all that, you have the dialogue with Jill when she wakes up detailing what the Iron Kingdom did to Rosaria after Phoenix Gate, the convo between Clive and his father at the start of the game, as well as some brief comments on the religion given by one of Clive's imperial companions at the start of the game before your fight with Jill. in the main story for that. Any other little added text given in the compendium is not needed to understand the main story at that time and why you are going there with Jill to destroy the crystal at that point. And dude I've played the game, the amount you are given in the compendium is NOT significantly more than everything I've said above that you are given in the main story maybe even more than that but that's all I could remember at the moment.
      Do you have any other "examples", out of the several that you supposedly have? If not, I rest my case.

    • @chriselias3881
      @chriselias3881 ปีที่แล้ว

      @RoshadLamar Also, you have yet to explain how this is just a button masher. Just because you chose to use only 10% of the tools given to you in the game doesn't make it a button masher. I can play Elden Ring, mage build r1 spam r1r1r1 and beat the whole game like that. Does that make Elden Ring a button masher?? On FF mode, you also would need to be using more stuff. There are eikonic abilities and eikonic combos, utilities, precision dodge, guard and various counters, aerial attack combos (such as aerial combo + Titan). There is Burning Blade and charged magic, and you can even go a full magic build if you use some accessories and spec right, such as into Bahamut. In addition, there is Rift Slip and various eikonic abilities that synergize with each other, such as Permafrost + Dancing Steel, Lightning Rod + Gigaflare, Titan Guard/Garuda/Phoenix Counter + Rift Slip + anything else, etc.

    • @BlackWolf207
      @BlackWolf207 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@chriselias3881on the point of the game being confusing, there is some truth to that. Yes, you get Vivian later in the game and that was incredibly helpful, but she doesn’t appear until like the third and final leg of the game. And the whole state of the realm thing should’ve been there waaay before then because there are so many kingdoms to keep up with. Before then I was reading up on the compendium constantly and I still was unsure who was who. Characters kept throwing out terms like “royalist” and “loyalists” and I had no idea which kingdoms they were referring to. For a good chunk of the game, I thought Cid, Benedikta, and Barnabus were all from Sanbreque, because Waloed was like barely mentioned until the end. I must’ve been like 40 hours into the game before I had a decent grasp on the political landscape of the game.
      Also for a compendium so detailed, it’s also incredibly, frustratingly vague. Leviathan is mentioned once as being a lost dominant or something, but there’s nothing in the compendium about why. There are implications about there being a whole world out there besides Storm and Ash, but there is little to no information about them. There was also some stuff that didn’t make sense. One example is Jill, the compendium said she was princess from the north that was made a “ward of Rosaria” after Clive’s dad “United” the northern territories. So the Rosarían kingdom conquered them, took their princess, and now she is treated like Clive and Joshua’s sister? And she’s cool with that I guess? Idk. There’s some other stuff, like why magic users are treated as branded but dominants are not (aside from the Iron Kingdom), as well as the whole bearers being slaves instead of revered as chosen ones (yes I know that side quest with the forbidden book touches on it, it’s still a tough sell).

    • @chriselias3881
      @chriselias3881 ปีที่แล้ว

      @BlackWolf207
      Waloed and Sanbreque are bitter enemies and are fighting each other after you kill Benedikta. Surely you can understand that when you saw the battle of Dion and Barnabus. Also, throughout Benedikta's arc, it was clear she and Cid were not imperial. For one, an empire is run by an emperor, not a king, which they kept referring to during that time. Benedikta's group talked about imperials being enemies the entire time and even took over an imperial caer. All of Lostwing was talking about it at that time. Surely, if you were reading (main story) dialogue, you would clearly know this and know they are from a rival nation. Cid also tells Clive Benedikta's group are Waloed's Royal Intelligencers and explains they are the Kingdom of Waloed's task force for assassination and subterfuge. This is all in the main story. Either you skipped entire segments of dialogue and cuscenes completely during Benediktas' entire arc (these distinctions between Waloed and Sanbreque were mentioned several times), or you are feigning ignorance.
      Either way, you are not supposed to know too much about Waloed or Sanbreque that early in the game before Benedikta is killed, you learn as you go, and more info is revealed naturally.
      2. Jill's background is explained thoroughly in the main story. And early into it by Clive if I remember. He explains Jill's country (Northern Territorial Alliance) was one of the first victims of the Blight. Because the Blight reached the main cities, the mothercrystal, Drake's Eye, lost its power. So the Northern Territories started wars with Rosaria and incessantly raided them hoping to eventually advance and take Drake's Breath (which at this time was not controlled by the Ironblood), when Clive's father fought back and quelled the raids of her country, he conquered them but was lenient and showed mercy, and a peace treaty was made. Jill was taken in as a ward (a hostage) but treated very well by the people and Clive's family despite everything her father and country did. This was to make sure Jill's father would honor the terms of the treaty and refrain from starting another war. Again this part is also briefly mentioned by Vivian Ninetales just before Clive goes to Drake's Breath. You can't miss either of these parts of the story, and it is certainly not needed to go into the compendium to learn any of this.
      As for the lands outside Valisthea, they are outside the game and no one in the continenets have explored them. If there was, they'd have to be more prevalent in the game, get it? And that would make this game another 20 hrs long.
