    "As the credits rolled, I threw my hands up in the air, totally unmoved by a resolution I didn’t feel like Final Fantasy 16 had earned. Then, after a few minutes and some hand stretches, I restarted with new game plus. I selected the highest difficulty. I skipped every single cutscene, diving into the action instead, using my very specifically designed set of Eikonic powers to murderize mobs and bosses alike, and thought to myself, Why had this game felt like such a chore just a minute ago? Then I let a cutscene play out, felt my eyelids grow heavier, my exhaustion finally mounting, until I nodded off on the couch. "

    is a bonkers end to a review but I get them lol

    That’s such an insane assessment given that the cutscenes are among the praised aspects of the game

    Generally reviews have more been like "I have seen this story or something similar before " more than just bad story telling . Just tropes or something. Hats off to Final Fantasy fans today

    Can’t imagine the treatment of women in this game being as bad as something like Persona 5 though.

    Not to mention the OG release’s blatant homophobia.

    The Demo really didn't run that bad lol

    Like were people expecting a hard locked 60 for something like this?

    It wasn't downright awful, but it's not great. It's just extremely fine.

    Really just need everything to drop on PC day 1 so I don't gotta deal with these weak ass consoles

    I feel like most of the criticism leveled at the story seem plot related, whereabouts the characterization seems pretty universally praised.

    Always got the sense that this game was focused more on that, especially Clive.

    You are not wrong. His string of s***ty interviews soured my taste of the game for a few months

    You know, if Yoshida never answered these questions a lot of people wouldn't have brought it up in their reviews and the game would unironically have scored even higher

    PC Gaming is pretty much the land of experiments now. So many hi-tech features that don't actually work,so many broken games
