after playing the ff16 pc demo I think my major takeaway is that this game might actually contest Xenosaga for ratio of cutscenes to gameplay. yeesh

The beginning is definitely wild with such a long time between the combat tutorial and actual combat. What were they cooking? Why would you teach me how to fight and then not let me fight for like twenty minutes?
At the start, absolutely. Then the middle is (for me anyway) a satisfying mainstory into bucket of sidequests into mainstory into bucket of sidequests, repeating all the way until the end. By the end, I was very satisfied with how every single sidequest wrapped up since for once, I did them all.
even when it switches to gameplay dominance there's not much to grasp onto lol 💀
i am like, the world's biggest 16 hater, but i tried so hard to like the game while playing through it.... but it kept disappointing me one plot point after another. it's just, rancid levels of writers unaware of the themes they're actually touching on...
