I haven't seen the new FF16 footage yet, but what they have shown previously really underwhelmed me personally. The return of AI only companions from FFXV (no character switching like earlier FF games, and only 1 companion at a time instead of a full party), the combat is that super fast paced DMC style action combat that I'm not a fan of because it's too hectic to keep track of, the world design and even some of the character design looks very western which sucks as I obviously want a Japanese aesthetic in a JRPG, I have plenty of great western RPG's to play for the western aesthetic. If it were on Xbox I would probably still buy it in a sale in spite of my misgivings about the game, but then they took Sony timed hat money again. And if it's anything like FF7R, that timed hat may well turn into a lifetime hat for no good reason, and I'm damn sure not going to buy this game on PS5 once I get a PS5 after Slim drops and reward that kind of poor hatting behavior by Sony and Square, maybe if it's on PS+ mid tier by then I will sub to that for awhile and play it. If it does somehow make it to Xbox unlike FF7R I will buy it in the bargain bin or play on Gamepass if it hits Gamepass.
Edit: Ok, upon perusing some of the new gameplay, I see they added assistance accessories to help with that super fast paced DMC style combat just like Nier Automata had, that at least helps to fix that particular issue I had with FF16.
