XV has a special place in my heart. It has a fantastic world and characters, but it was spread too thin between a movie, an anime, a game, and a book. The game as a standalone product suffered greatly story-wise. However, The fresh take on the main quest as a "road trip" and the real-time dynamic relationship between the main characters are very, very unique to XV. It is the heart and soul of the game, and what makes it special.

As any other FF game. XVI will be a day-one purchase. I can't say that I'm hyped, but I look forward for more info on the project. I don't know the director Hiroshi Takai and I'm not familiar with his works. And the reveal trailer had lackluster graphics, but it is still way too early to judge anything.

I really want to believe that Final Fantasy XVI will be a complete game with a complete storyline, but seeing what happened to XV, I think we will at least have a movie or a bunch of DLCs.

I think the graphics in XVI trailer are looking decent, but not on next-gen level. It's probably going to take some time to release, so they can still work on it, I guess.

I do believe XV was a one time experiment for SE. Maybe because of the troubled development cycle, they wanted to squeeze as much profit as possible. Even if XVI will have DLCs they won't be implemented in the same way as XV. I believe in Yoshida's ability in delivering a full experience. He is a proven producer who knows what the fans want.
