Looks good. It all depends on the combat for me. I generally enjoy almost all off the Final Fantasy games, but I gave up on 15 cause the combat i just hated it. Hell could even put up with corridor 13 with few complaints cause the combat was pretty still quite good imo.

Not universally, I wasn't myself a fan of it. Certainly playable, far from my favorite in the FF franchise. I know a few people who feel similarly. Originally Posted by Lindon

Sure, a more apt choice of word would be "generally" as the majority of the playerbase liked the game. Originally Posted by Aucald

Is this Luminous Engine? It looks a lot like it. I doubt Crystal Tools is being used for this even though 14 uses it.

Naoki Yoshida is legendary, the fact that he turned the failure that was FF14 into the powerhouse of an MMO that is FF14 today is nothing short of incredible.
Buying this for PC as soon as I can

FF16 does look like a general return to form, and I'm definitely intrigued enough to play it. I'm hoping the combat system is similar to or a riff off of the one in FF7R, as I really enjoyed that one and it definitely melded well as a halfway point between traditional ATB RPG and a action-based set up.

Sigh, another game in the "god I loved this franchise so much as a childhood I'll be stuck playing every main entry for the rest of my life" series
Hopefully I enjoy this one a hell of a lot more than 10/12/13/15.

I'm just curious, what about the trailer did you think was a move where they "return to form"? Originally Posted by Aucald

I don't know about you, but when I think of "Final Fantasy" I immediately think of generic pretty anime boys spinning and flipping with their superpowers. That's just classic FF! Originally Posted by Lindon

eh, that's in my opinion just your average Japanese game. Not necessarily Final Fantasy. Originally Posted by s_bushido

High fantasy, sword and sorcery, magic summons, etc. etc. A lot of the more recent FF games have been more modern, approaching sci-fi at times, albeit with the same general staples. FF15 for example could've been completely contemporary/modern with just a dash of magic tossed in. Not that this is a bad thing, but FF16 definitely seems to hearken back to the first FF games I played like FF5 (FF2 in the US) and FF6 (FF3 in the US). Originally Posted by Lindon

I knew it was Final Fantasy the second they showed that guys eye, so 5 seconds into the trailer. Simply because those graphics scream FF. That's why I'm curious to know if this is the Luminous Engine. But even then FF7R also looked like that. Originally Posted by Lindon

When people argue with you, but don't bother to read any of the sources you link, that are verified trusted sources. Then still tell you you're wrong. Originally Posted by WintersLegion

Of course, the creators of the game think it was a success. When do folks bad mouth their own product? Jesus christ you're glib. Originally Posted by Lindon

And, if you count the iOS games of FF15 and the DLC packs, then, and only then, did it sell almost 9 million copies. This has been confirmed multiple times.
A game selling 5 million copies is great, but that hardly makes it a success in terms of Final Fantasy.
Why are you people so fucking retarded?
