It wasn't that bad especially the soundtrack

I JUST KILLED A 40 YEAR OLD FRANCHISE WITH MY FREAKING GAME

>>716451884 (OP)
yes. in a perfect world they would polish up the combat and make the world less linear for the next game, but it's all going to be scrapped for some turn based QTE slop that apes expedition 33

>>716451884 (OP)
It didn't deserve to be a main series title.

The least ambitious Final Fantasy...

>>716452067
What they need to do is get someone in there who doesn’t listen to what “the fans” say at all and instead has his own vision of what killed final fantasy and how to revive it.

the set pieces were nice everything in between was just boring exposition dump and fetch questing zzzzz

>>716451884 (OP)
Releasing a mid forgettable game would normally be really bad for a series, but for Final Fantasy it's sadly an upgrade for the mainline games. What should happen is square should look at what didn't work with this game, fix it, and then release that as FF17, but they're retards so FF17 is going to be something completely different and risk being either another mid game or a shit one

Best version.

I love the few soundtracks that sound celestial like the one you posted and this:

I liked it. Insane to think some cretins actually try and say it's worse than XIII or XV

Interdimensional Rift is great, brings me straight back to EVE's soundtrack when I first played it.

I wish 16 had no open areas and there was just the hideaway and set piece areas, which you could go to only by undertaking missions through the hub.
and it just needs meaningful character customization. letting you recruit 2 npc fighters whose classes you could pick that stick with you through the game would be great.
it has the bones of a good game, it's just excruciatingly bland and full of filler.

I liked drake fang battle OST
Fighting orcs was pretty cool

If the "filler" was given the same love as the main storyline it wouldn't have been nearly as bad. It was clear they completely cost cut that shit. If it had the full motion scenes and animations it would have been loads better. The content of most of it was good, and the quest lines paid off in the end but it was just completely lazy. Much like the extra dialogue options characters had only voicing two fucking words and the rest you need to read. It was cost cutting in its worst form.

How much more difficult is Final Fantasy difficulty? I was thinking of replaying the game but it's been a long time since I last played it I'm not sure if I should just start a new normal playthrough or pick Final Fantasy new game plus?

>How much more difficult is Final Fantasy difficulty?
not really
ultimania however, to get S ranks? now thats difficult, probably the most difficult challenge in the entire franchise

It wasn't that bad but it also wasn't that good, which is enough to kill it.

Saying this in a series where there are multiple side titles that are better than over half of the main series entries really doesn't hold the weight you think it does.

I hated the permanent purple filter in the world in the last part of the game

>>716454279
easily fixed now

How hard can it be to fuck up FF?

>>716451884 (OP)
You make this thread every single fucking day.

>>716451884 (OP)
I got tired of the "discrimination is le bad" angle with the bearers. Had to put it down. I liked other things about the game though.

>>716451884 (OP)
I hated that they dropped the QTE's from the first dungeon in the forest, love that 'press triangle to cool' shit from kingdom hearts and that knight mini boss in the woods had them but they completely abandoned it for essentially the entire rest of the game except in the eikon fights and the very last boss

>>716451884 (OP)
ok

>>716452150
It's an action game, the genre where you could pick all of it's most selling franchises and it wouldn't amount to a single final fantasy game, how is that not ambitious?

>>716460150
Just a shitpost he's been spouting since before the game came out. "Least ambitious" would need to belong to one of the sequels, probably XIII-2

>>716451884 (OP)
Is there a single FF game, especially mainline, with a bad soundtrack
That's probably the single most consistent thing going for FF

Best FF since X

Best game of 2023 and I don't care what you guys say

>>716462026
XII has a pretty bland OST. Not bad, but terribly bland
