This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I’d try to get it going here if people are interested.

    Final Fantasy 16 - I haven’t had a lot of time to play it lately, but really enjoying it. Story and world feel like classic SNES era Final Fantasy, but darker, a little more adult. Graphics are great, it’s a beautiful game and looks next gen. And the gameplay is fine… It’s just button mashing, casting spells from range over and over till you finally stagger a powerful enemy, or a quick time event. But it does feel like an action beat-em-up taking place within a Final Fantasy world. Would love if it were more turn based, or at least party based like FF7 Remake, but it’s fine. Good game so far 👍

      The game has the highest high points in any game in recent memory for me. The only thing that makes it a 9/10 in my eyes is the slower sidequest-esque missions sometimes inserted into the main quest, and the lack of any real RPG elements

      There is a method to the madness in the game wants you to think of your abilities like a DPS MMO rotation.

      Also your damage from the helm splitter scales with height.

      For example, the thunder ball + will of wisps creates just a constantly pulsing ball of damage. Then add on any other moves done. Don’t forget your dog can jump in on the last hit of your base attack string.
