16 is worse than 15.
FF16 is a 2/10. The visuals and the music are doing all the heavy lifting but it's an utter DOGSHIT story, this is the writing of a fucking 10 year old.
The way there's just these constant coincidences and shit like, oh they arrived at the city and it just so happens that's the night Dion stage his rebellion, or like, oh just so happens when they come back to fix the ship that's when the gates bust down and the Akashic come through the gates and also Sleipnir is there again. Fucking Clive loses his whole entire family, his whole entire life, living day by day with no personality, hopes or dreams apart from finding out who killed his brother (turns out it was him but also not really), and then in the space of fucking FIVE minutes finds his long lost "sister", forsakes his whole station, kills his squad mates, meets someone who recognizes him for the first time, and that person just so happens to have his fucking DOG from when he was a kid, this happens literally FIVE fucking minutes after the fucking flash forward.
I can't even say it had good characters because it really didn't, at best there was Dion but he has barely any screentime, Cid was ok but was a fucking moron, there was no good villain and any villain that could've been good was killed right when they were about to get interesting. There was no interplay between the pathetic excuse for a party, Jill was just a whole nothing character for the whole game, there was no chemistry between her and Clive, and shit like when Joshua reunites with Clive he doesn't even ask anything like "where the fuck where have you been?, Why didn't you try to find me?".
The characters don't make decisions that make any amount of sense, they're not engaged in the story, they're not exploring their options, they're not thinking or talking, they're just nothing, they're just vessels to move the plot forward, it's like a bunch of school kids larping on the playground. This story was absolute dogshit
