| JackHandy said: I've been around this industry in one form or another since the NES was king, and I've seen some stuff. And one thing I'm confident about is FF16 becoming a beloved game ten or so years from now. For whatever reason (I believe I know why, but I'll save that for a later date), it's gotten the Dreamcast-Mario Sunshine-Wind Waker treatment online despite being a straight-up amazing game and one of the best mainline FFs, and someday, it'll get its due. And, much like the aforementioned, I'm proud to say I thought it was great in its time... because it is. |
Funny thing is, people hated on FFXIII when it came out but started liking it when XV came out, same thing with XV and XVI - people are liking XV now because of XVI - seen several people outside of this site saying how much better XV was lol
Guess gotta wait for FFXVII to come out to change the public reception lmao.
I havent played and finished FFXVI properly yet myself but I did try out the demo and loved it. I dont mind the gameplay changes especially being a Devil May Cry fan (the battle designer for FFXVI was the battle designer for Devil May Cry) and I love how dark the storyline is - exactly what I wanted FFXII to be but it failed to be as dark as FF Tactics was but XVI's storyline is the closest to a dark story like FF Tactics.
I'm planning to play it on Steam in the future (want to finish 7 Remake, Crisis Core and Rebirth first lol)
