@GMaster7 Honestly kinda glad I don't have to buy Dawntrail right now just because I'm still way behind from reaching the expansion lol I just reached Stormblood
@PinderSchloss Come on man you're not even trying to make a good argument here. Lol "This feels like punishment for not waiting to buy the complete edition for the same price"
Once again personal problem, no one else's fault but yours because you're impatient for... whatever reason despite knowing that devs have done complete editions for how long? More than a decade that's for sure.
"But go ahead and get screwed over by greedy companies if that's your thing"
Sounds like that's already your thing judging by this particular statement, "but apparently I had to pay 95€ for another 10 hours of ‘follow the marker and tap square’"
When exactly were you ever told you "had" buy the DLC? Neither of the DLCs affect the story, ending, nor do they even affect any of the gameplay.
@PinderSchloss "I never want to go back but always get fomo. It's like being punished for paying and playing day one"
Probably one of the goofiest complaints I've heard that can basically be summarized as personal issues. Your complaint would probably be more sound if the game was incomplete.
@mrbone The only time I ever enjoyed turn based was during Persona 5 and I played the absolute crap out of that and bought P5R with it. I know not a lot of people would like it but if the next FF is like this will buy it unless the story is disappointing because that's probably the third most important aspect of FF game. Second goes to characters and first goes to gameplay.
I still haven't encountered this so that's unfortunate that it is being nerfed. :/
Although if there is one good change that is the frequency reduction on pawns asking to be hired, that crap was annoying when exploring.
@tselliot Don't get me wrong Dragon's Dogma 2 is fun and reminds me of Death Stranding which I very much enjoyed where you are journeying across the map and you can't use fast travel whenever you like. But I can't deny that the frame rate needs to be improved still which will prove pretty difficult for Capcom I think.
@Nem No I can't make it a call for every player but considering that the majority of players in both FF16 and Dragon's Dogma 2 are pointing out the difficulty is too easy(And even CBU 3 calls it out that they made FF16 too easy) in their games shows that the most players like a challenging experience and that an easy experience will make it boring.
@GymratAmarillo I'm quite aware by the goofy nature of helldivers. But it wouldn't hurt to have shaders or have the helmet match the colors of the suit you're wearing so it doesn't look out of place
@djlard I mean who cares? Transmog is there for fun and sometimes people want to have good stats without looking like a goofball in a cutscene or gameplay.
@Ultrasmiles To be completely fair with Destiny 2 they do not let you transmog exotic armor, but only with specific cosmetics made for it because of the same reason that Arrowhead is making. It is to let you know what your team mates or the enemy player in pvp is running.
@Strikke What are you not getting about they aren't connected? I don't remember seeing Lightning or Cloud in FF16. All Final Fantasies are in their own seperate universe.
@Nem If a game wasn't challenging it wouldn't be fun. It would be very boring as that would not encourage players to try different abilities, try different loadouts, try to actually learn the enemy's movesets. Like look at Dragon's Dogma 2 once you get to around rank 30, you're destroying most of the enemies without much effort. I don't care to change anything about my loadout unless it's a new weapon and that's it because I'm killing every mob I see in one or two hits.
@wildcat_kickz It's like Monster Hunter, the games are in their own seperate universe so yeah I think it's fine for them to not be consistent and especially when we have FF14 that is an MMO lol
@Strikke I mean they could easily follow in Capcom's footsteps where Monster Hunter isn't numbered and it makes sense because each Final Fantasy game is its own thing. None of them are connected in any way besides sequels.
@JB_Whiting FF16 is an easy pick up and play, I can't see myself needing to relearn the controls because they're simple whereas DMC 5 you have Dante's billion weapons to relearn.
Great changes needed for Wings of Light and Blind Justice but it sucks they didn't do anything for Odin's feat and its single combo. Like they couldn't have added in at least an R1, R2 combo? Well we at least have both Clive's Leviathan eikon and other unknown ability that is supposedly similar to Dante's SDT which I'm excited for.
Fallout 4 was definitely a fun game, but it was incredibly disappointing from an RPG aspect. It really seems like the only dev that can make a proper RPG out of Bethesda is Obsidian.
@Northern_munkey Outer World could have been such a more interesting game tbh and way better than starfield because it has a more interesting concept, but unfortunately Obsidian played it safe. Too much so imo.
@B0udoir Yeah that's definitely an issue that needs to be resolved. If games actually go up a $100 in a few more gens just for a game to last 10 to 20 hours then they're gonna lose a lot of money. I don't want these super highly graphical games(Not that I care much about graphics anyways) if prices are to go up more and more.
@NEStalgia You sure are one big negative nancy making an issue out of nothing other than impatience. If they were really trying to milk it they would've gone and made it into 5 or 10 parts but no because they knew the rule of 3. Also it is not like Square Enix doesn't have multiple teams working on Final Fantasy games which is how we got FF16 from CBU 3.
Yeah, not gonna care much for it. I've had my fun with it a long time ago, but the focus on gunplay over improved RPG mechanics is what makes it a big disappointment.
@anon_pel222 I don't know man we haven't really gotten to that point where every developer is doing horror games like how every single developer was doing battle royale games
@anon_pel222 And how is that a bad thing at all? Some of those horror games you mention were fantastic like Alan Wake 2 and Resident Evil 4 Remake. We were barely getting any horror games last gen and now we're getting a lot this time.
@ATaco If the devs want you to enjoy the game with a one difficulty in mind let them and play a different game. Not every game needs to be for everybody.
@Anke I've played 60fps with a lot of my games and still could not care less if it's at 30fps. I'm still playing Helldivers 2, FF7R, and FF16 at 30fps.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.31 Out Now on PS5, Brings Big Damage Buffs for Clive, Better Side Quests, and Much More
