Two Words: Chapter 13.

Also, I felt that pretty much ALL the story from the point it goes linear is absolutely absurdly stupid garbage. The world building and character interactions up to that point were pretty awesome, all things considered, but once the story stopped being about the four bros chillin in a cross-country trip and actually started being about a plot...it lost itself. I do truly hope that XVI has a good story (And since it's written by the same guy/team as XIV, which apparently is amazing in that regard) I have high hopes. 

To be fair I played for about an hour or so and it didn't click for me, so maybe its not quite a fair assessment. Think it might the j-pop boy band road trip, open world and the slightly janky combat putting me off *shrug*. Might try it again at some point.

Then again I did enjoy FFXIII and even XIII-2.. so my tastes in FF games may differ lol.

New State of Play may be coming next month according to Tom Henderson. Also on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/rzrvp5/tom_henderson_says_next_sony_event_probably_in/

The current rumor is that the next Sony event looks like it could be in February based on this month's media events and past PlayStation dates.

It'll probably be State of Play, but it has the potential to be a pretty big one IMO. pic.twitter.com/Si0QSY7PeZ

Could be a big one. PSVR2? FFXVI update? What are your guesses?

@BasilZero Woo, someone else that doesn't hate the game. I found the games to be a relatively decent affair, with really addictive combat and amazing music. Story wasn't amazing but quite memorable. I didn't get around to play Lightning Returns though.

I have the normal edition of XV on PS4 and the PS+ Royal edition. Guessing the latter version is better? Thought I had it on PC as well but nope lol.

As for the event, hopefully its true. Wouldn't mind seeing update for games like FFXVI or God of War though I'll keep my expectation on check and they'll probably show some smaller titles like Ghostwire: Tokyo.

That's true. it might be a little too close considering we've had a an announcement of its name and specifications already. Saying that, Sony has done bit big reveals before early in the year (PS4 reveal and games blowout was back in Feb '13). Realistically they'll probably save it for their Summer event. 

I also like FFXIII and FFXIII-2

About you not liking FFXV (which I liked but not immensively), when I originally played FFXII I almost hated it (the change from photorealism to cartoon, turn based to "real-time", controlling the part to a single unit, random encounter to seeing on the map) but when I played the remaster/remake on PS4 I absolutely loved it, would say my personal ranking is IX, X, XII, VIIR, XIII, XV, XIV, VIII. Haven`t played the original VII or the prior ones nor the XI.

Your ranking is pretty much mine without XII or XIV; both I haven't played. VII is one you really have to play if you like FF games. Its probably my favourite next to IX. VI would be in the upper tier as well.

There were rumours of SE remaking FFIX in a similar vein at 7. Not sure if true, but that would be awesome to see as it IX was really overlooked at time of launch ,since it came in the tail end of the PSX's life.

I had a blast to play FFVII Remake Intergrade on PC with the mods. Can't wait for the Part. 2 and FFXVI on PS5.

Played FFVII until the "drag queen" part, graphics is to outdated to my liking = so I`m really excited for the remakes, liked the 7R a lot.

For me FF IX is one of the best games ever, and like the first game to blow my mind (one of the first games I played when bought my PS1), and it is still pretty even just playing the enhanced por for PSVita or PS4, so even though I would love to play a remake I would also accept VI being made first since I didn`t play the SNES era FFs (and the "remakes" on portable for the first titles didn't get me going because well they aren't the high production value that is staple for me on FF).

I liked world of final fantasy and the first tactics as well, Type-0 I liked more or less (couldn`t bother to finish yet), Dissidia played very little, the Theatic Rythm or whatever was very funny, and Brave Exvius I have played since launch and regularly sits on top 5k on the event ranks.
