Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16? (beehaw.org)

I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven't played the demo, I'm planning on trying it tonight, but I'm curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

The demo has me fully sold on the game. Really love the action combat they have in this one and think it feels way better than what they had in XV. I’m intrigued by the story so far and was pleasantly surprised that the demo gives you a good amount of story with both of the modes offered. All in all I think it’s one of the best demo’s I’ve played in a while and can’t wait to get my hands on the full release.

I'll be waiting to see what the consensus on the story is. Because I quit FF15 25 hours in after realizing I had no idea what was going on and no idea who anyone was, since the story was fragmented across multiple media.

Play the demo if you can. I think most people who have will give the consensus the story is good.

I've played tens of hours of 15 several times to try to like it, and I still find it so hard to care.

I understood more of what was going on and cared more about Clive and his situation after the first 15 mins of 16, and then the rest of the demo just made more intrigued.

That's good to hear. I remember getting to a point in 15 where there's a long cutscene of a city invasion, and I realized I didn't know what city it was, who was invading, or why. Nor did I know what relation it had to the segment I had just played. So at that point I had enough.
