every time i see people mention FF16 i’m like “oh right, that came out and i played the whole thing and it just slid right off my brain. huh. weird.” what a sadly forgettable kind of nothing game from the team that made one of my favorite games of all time
the pressures, both internal and external, of making a numbered final fantasy in this era of approximately one of them coming out per decade must be completely out of control
[ignoring how much this would cost] i think they should go back to having a bunch of them in flight at once so the impact of one of them being disappointing is more “oh well, maybe the next one will be good” instead of “well, time to wait another 8 years and hope they remember what whimsy is”
