    @OttoVonNoob I’m an oldschool Final Fantasy fan and the new FF16 looks not very interesting to me. The fights aren’t what I want it to be and the players reported the game has a much higher playtime on watching cutscenes. I’m just not very hyped about the game, and disappointed in the direction the newer titles are going.

    But that does not mean it’s a bad thing. Game series change over time and not every game has to please me, such as going from FF6 to FF7 or to FF8, or the Zelda games several times. So don’t see my reply as bashing, just saying that a longtime fan of the series is not interested into it.

      Ditto on the old school final fantasy, I joined semi late at 8. But I played them all by now. The solo mechanic doesn’t appeal to me I like. team who has interactions and build bonds through battle:C And yes it has to evolve but it has evolved into something generic IMHO.
