Sounds like shounen anime brainrot. Any reasonable criticisms or misgivings about their fav show/game cam be discarded cuz "the fights are peak".

I legit stopped playing when the game gave me a sidequest where an NPC teaches you that goblin are sentient creatures who don't deserve to be slaughtered and then 10 meters away another quest had me slaughter a bunch of goblins without a second thought. The writing in this game was such trash.

I want to say it was Abnormal Mapping that had the episode on FF16 where they pointed out how insanely boring it is that the entire story of that game is about royal lineages that can transform into these godlike beings and the only thing that's ever used for is war. Like why isn't Titan revolutionizing your country's entire agriculture system? Because all the game cares about is cool anime fights

FFXIV and FFXVI also are doing a crossover event right now, so there might be some people posting about how much they liked 16 for that reason too.

those bits, like the rest of the game, are also really shallow as far as mechanical complexity. even if I prefer the more grounded tone of 16, it feels like an alpha build compared against rebirth's more fleshed out rpg design

god, that and how shameless the soundtrack is about quoting Prelude are just so cheesy (negative)

lol, but to be fair, lmao

At least it debatable justifies the title? I mean. There's been nothing final about it since the original.

Not good writing but like, I can see why they'd do it.

It sucks because I genuinely loved 15 (not my favourite, but it felt like the series was headed in a good direction)-- but it really feels like they took all the worst parts of it and smashed it into a bad elder scrolls clone. They took everything interesting about the series and threw it out the window.
