@KaijuKaiser Clearly, it’s not a real FF game, belongs more in the FF Crystal or other useless FF games. This is just a linear adventure in some world that happens to have giant yellow birds. Killing the same 10 monsters over and again is not entertaining.
The only chocobos you kill in this game come in 3 varieties. Yellow, featherless and undead. In fact every creature has an undead variety, no creativity in design.
It’s like they concentrated so hard on the action aspect, they ignored the fantasy. This is a small step above any action game. Not an rpg.
Let’s count the ways this game does NOT count as a FF game. No dungeons, just hallways of arenas. No custom party members. No collectibles. No upgrade system, no optional content not tied to a side quest. Limited monsters. Have killed more chocobos than any other FF game.
I can only wear 3 items of jewelry, can only use swords, included rings of accessibility to make game not act like an action game.
So many missed opportunities of extra content. Castles, ruins, mines, caves, leviathan all missing. Hell, even abandoned cities can’t be looked at except from a distance.
Dumb characters, intelligence wise. An entire continent that believes in suicide as part of a normal religion. Which begs the question of why even reproduce? So many things wrong with Devil May Fantasy 16.
For me, the text size overall has no size setting, it’s a turn off trying to read. As big as it is, it feels rushed, no extra dungeons, nothing paramount to explore. Land is mostly traversible without a chocobo. No fishing, No mini games, no optional areas. Main character isn’t likable, time skip, no passion, and no party members.
It’s a great action game in the FF universe, but not even collectibles dot the field. Makes the game lackluster in terms of a FF RPG.
On NG+2 already, hidden bosses as you go up in games. Lots of lore unlocked, more to go. Difficulty is easily 4x normal. Use house rules, and forget about beating it 8x on normal (NG+7 only available to non house rules play through.
Have little complaints, but the class scars demand perfection just to get bronze. Horribly unfair, skip them, not needed as you get gems from npcs and other scars.
I miss LOTRO sometimes. Unsure if I’d play it now, so many mmo’s out there already. Would be more interesting to have a Dark Age of Camelot deal where you have 3 or more factions, PvPvE
Was wondering how long it would take Perfect World to go full tilt on consoles. Their original game for the PC was great not counting the 5 pay currencies. Maybe another 3 faction system?
Can’t wait to play Final Dante Fantasy XVI. Looks fun, a bit overkill on the numbers. It’s always amazing how these inhuman wrecking balls can talk without a trace of being out of breath. The dog gets a thumbs up, seems to require a bit of button mashing?
@Mauzuri it doesn’t have quite the romantic side stories, but it does have a pretty large world to roam about. A dragon to hunt, monsters galore, dungeons, quests, even a chance to save the world.
Well this should be a treat going forward as everything we know outside of Midgar is now up in the air with the changes that occurred. Still hoping to see a Ruby/Emerald fight in Remake.
@Sinton True, but the could be said of other creatures and characters in the series. Also, he’s written to be evil/insane. If you wanted a stealth LOTR game, Bilbo was a thief.
I just can’t believe that out of all the small creepy antagonists you chose Gollum. Could have done a proper gremlins, changeling, demon/monster, deformed baby; but no, you went with the LOTR. Gollum, while a complicated character, is by no means a likable role to play.

Really need a text enlargement for non subtitles. Everything is so tiny, and poor eyesight doesn’t help.

Re: Gollum Dev Daedalic Entertainment to Focus on Publishing After Disastrous Launch
Gollum, Hello Kitty, Sweet Pickles. We all hate things, but I don’t see much point to play as such a miserable character.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2023 Announced
Still having a blast with Rogue Legacy 2. Who knew they have a customized NG+ with new everything dark souls style.
Looking forward to some flashlight led investigations.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 482

Re: Starfield, Redfall Exclusivity 'Powerful Evidence' Against Xbox's Activision Buyout, Claims FTC
@Intr1n5ic True, but Xbox/PC game sales are FAR behind Sony and Nintendo. So the argument of exclusivity only works if you’re on equal footing.
Re: Starfield, Redfall Exclusivity 'Powerful Evidence' Against Xbox's Activision Buyout, Claims FTC
From a profit standpoint, Bethesda exclusively on Xbox only is a really dumb business decision. Especially when you rank in the bottom of profit.
