I only felt sad because I hoped it would be a return to the good FFs (1-9 and arguably 10 11 and 14) instead we got some GoT meh fantasy that's not much better than the mediocre dogshit we've been having since 12 / 13.

I wish it were an RPG, you know something with jobs, builds, strategies, choices to be made, optional dungeons, ect so we could actually discuss it for more than a single thread. Action games lead to such shallow discussions.

Jill is the weakest dominant. She needs to be abused to the inch of death to transform. Others can just transform by getting mad.

It's the same game engine as FF14 but modified.
Think of like the Creation engine that Bethesda use which is a modified version of Gamebryo engine.
It's an iteration and because of that it's also mired with the same flaws and limitations as the FF14 engine

Do you have the link? Because I remember watching a dev interview given by Naoki Yoshia on the pitch he gave to the board on how he convinced them to allow Creative Studio 3 previously Creative Business Unit 3, to develop FF16 was the cost and development experience they had using FF14's engine they could repurpose and modified and not have to retrain on a new game engine.
I mean anecdotally if you're experienced with both games you can see similar design in the maps, in the npc design, in the animations, in the UI.

FF will continue to be terrible as long as they continue to make dog shit shallow action games rather than glorious 4 nigga in a row turn based.

I wish FF would return to being turn based but I really can't see it happening. At best I'm hoping things go back to having actual RPG elements, and not being as linear as 16 was.

I've played every numbered DQ and most of the spinoffs and I don't get the little bit of bitching I see about DQXI. Yeah, recycling the world for each act, whatever, but the core gameplay of DQ has held steady for nearly 40 years now so at least it feels like the same series.

I dropped DQXI when I arrived at the desert town and it still played castle.mp3.
Like arent they the biggest rpg from japs? Why the fuck doesnt desert town have its own music?
Even snes games gave different themes based on area.
Yet DQ XI just had one overworld theme, battle theme, and town theme that you hear over and over for hours.
Were my expectations too high having played multiple other generic rpgs that did more?
Was my game bugged? It had to be right?
