>>715579967 (OP)

kek

>short
The length of the game matters little when you trannies will spend months, years even, seething over it. You know what that's called? Cultural impact.

this game was boring and I quit it to go play Lies of P instead

Lefty argument.

FF16 is the first Final Fantasy game I've ever completed simply out of buyers remorse. I just pushed through it to get my money's worth. It was so fucking boring. Even FF13 with its corridor gameplay didn't bore me as much as FF16 did.

I agree. Say what you want about FF13, but at least it tried to be something. It didn't seduced, obviously, but at least it felt like someone made an attempt at something original and creative.
16 felt like they wanted to copy Game of Thrones at the start, then realized they didn't have the talent for that (low bar) so they went back to killing alien god again because magic bad.

I thought the story switching from political to anime cliche after Benediktas death was pretty bad. Before that the story was somewhat decent. The combat wasn't entirely bad but it only gets fun once you get Zanetsuken, which is at the end of the game. The exploration incentives were terrible. Reminded me of the useless open world zones in FFXIV. Oh hey I just got 5 gil for spending time actually exploring these gigantic areas. Thanks SE!

>>715581875
I did the same but I made the additional mistake of buying the dlc hoping it would get better. Nope.

>>715580037
Need to just start making Jack the main character. Write some other story then rewrite it with him.

>Liking actual vidya and not watered down, impossible to lose, zero strategy "RPGs" with no fucking roleplaying in sight is lefty

>>715579967 (OP)
I played both games. E33 is a masterpiece. Ffxvi was horrible vulgar shitslop.

>>715579967 (OP)
How do you go from open world gameplay with not that many cutscenes in FF15 to walk down environment hallway from one long ass cutscene to the next?

Are you okay Larry?

Nigga what Rising Tides is fucking great.

I disagree, I liked the escalation of villains/antagonists in the game even if Ultima himself wasn't as good as Bahamut
