The Final Fantasy XVI Reveal Blew My Mind, But Also Left Me A Bit Concerned
The long rumored Final Fantasy XVI was finally unveiled at the PlayStation 5 Showcase this week and there are lots of interesting aspects to the announcement. Beyond the topline fact that we are getting a new mainline entry to the Final Fantasy series (!), it's notable that the game is being developed by Creative Business Unit III, which is Naoki Yoshida's team.

I just hope it's tactful and not spammy.
At least Dragon Quest stayed true to its roots.
Maybe unfair of me but I still feel that way about the look and stories... and chokobos
My loss maybe but so be it.

No matter,he didn't do anything to change the game that i wanted to play,it was still the same crap,still item level gaming,classes/jobs felt handcuffed,red carpet crap is super immersive breaking.
SE has always been hit n miss on combat ideas,Bosses in particular.At first I was sold on crafting being better but after I was not.FFXI's crafting may have seemed more harsh but there was ALWAYS a market many years later even for level 1 items.The game only turned into a broken power creep game 12 or so years later.
I feel this game Yoshi is taking all the credit for was so painful to play that after 6 months giving reborn a try i just had to get out.I have WAY more fun...immersion within Atlas.Sure i miss the days of sub classes and I really enjoyed attaining npc's,the chocobo's were a better option than in FFXI "obviously" but I don't miss anything else.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I want mmorpg's to feel like a person in a living world and not someone who goes around doing zone completions or circle ring fights.I want to dive in the water and drown,fight sharks,battle pirate ships "actually could have some of that in FFXI".
I really enjoyed Besieged in FFXI,an event that felt real,hordes of beastmen invade the capital city,players would join from all over.We had some cool events in FFXIV like I enjoyed seeing a giant Shantotto,stuff like that i do really enjoy but MOST of the game is just a completion check list,i could just play Guild wars for that crap or play Wow for item level gaming.
My game would be a cross between a better FFXI version,Minecraft and Atlas and guess what FFXIV is not very close at all.

i just cant get over it. and probably never will.
As for FFXVI, I’ll buy it since I own them all but most certainly not day one. And about FFXVII Re giving hope for the series, it was a step up but a very uneven production to me, much more then the maligned XIII and XV. It still was a better game in the end but I wouldn’t call it a return to form. I think since XII was released, World of Final Fantasy Maxima might actually be the best FF, not counting the MMORPG.

'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
to please a big part of the murican crowd that always complain about something. Cute characters? pedo!, small creatures? for kids!, sexy characters? horny high school boys!, etc etc. Always complaining about something so Square Enix is giving them what they want. Bland poo
Cute characters? Always goddamn annoying.
Small creatures? Usually goddamn annoying.
Sexy characters? Never left, never will.
Personally wish that all JRPGs would remove playable children. Not because "pedobait," but because they are almost exclusively obnoxious, insufferable characters.
Square you use to be one of my favorite RPG makers. But much like Bioware now, I just can't get behind what you do anymore. Happy for the people that enjoyed 12, 13, 15, and 7 remake. Every gamer should have something they enjoy playing.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
The fantasy seems a bit low and i guess i just miss the days of their creative fantasy such as gunblades and such.
Yes, and I think the reason for that is that they already have the turn based market cornered with Dragon Quest. If they tried making that action combat, heads would roll.
