What happens when you get a historical JRPG franchise and try to make it appealing to the western?
You get a 2018 gow like with a Final Fantasy Skin.
Final Fantasy 16 is such an weird and underwelming enter on the Final Fantasy franchise that calling it a RPG game would be a fucking stretch, for example, the franchise core things no longer exists.
> There is no party
> Usable itens are only cures or limit breakers recharge
> Every single weapon has the same move set
> There is no development on the gameplay, your move sets are the same from the start of the game to the end of it
> Itens are so useless that they might as well not exist
> Craft system that is useless as the itens
> A skill tree that is so fuckin bad that makes RPG AC's ones look good
> There is no classic spells in the game
> there is no classes and again absolutely no variation of the gameplay
in the end, every single mission consist of runing in corridors and killing enemies with a bare bones Hack n slash like gameplay from start to finish. It baffles me that people like so much of this game or worse, considered it the best Final Fantasy. But of curse, i still gave it 2,5✩ what are the good points? Well, the game looks good, the bossfights and QTE are pretty cool too and the story is fine, every single character is extremely likable, and i really loved how the story develop itself, it was satisfying and it's well worthy the playthrough, but the "let's kill a god" JRPG cliche with the cheap ass existentialism makes me feel like i already played that same plot so many fucking times.
Overall i can't put my head through why people love so much a game that can't even scratch FF 6/7/7R/9/10/12/14 in therms of quality, i honestly think that people who love this game doesn't actually like Final Fantasy or JRPGs
Note that besides all that the game runs like TRASH on the PS5, low res gameplay upscaled with FSR and an average of 45fps.
Despite it's problems the gameplay is bearable, the game looks good and the story is worth watching, if that your thing go for it.
