I've never played these games but after 16 I'm starting to think they are gaslighting us with the word "Final".

Probably on sale for half off by the holidays. I can wait.

Final Fantasy don’t often go on sale. Though I hope you’re right!

So to people that have played it, how is it? Like compared to previous FF?

Ostrakon ,

Oh boy is that a loaded question.

As someone who has played every game in the series, the trend has been to make them less like RPGs and more like action games. Gameplay wise, this was far and away the best action-y one and had a decent enough story. Anything compared to 15 would have looked like a masterpiece, lol.

I vastly prefer the more traditional RPGs overall though. 16 was a pleasant surprise since I came in with a bit of a bias against the shift towards action games, and really only gave it a shot because the director has earned a lot of credit with his handling of 14 (the MMO)

RangerJosie ,

Thank you.

FWIW, this is pretty close to how I feel about it. Compared to XV, this game is a masterpiece.

I’d add that the ability recharges make the later combat feel a little bit more ATB-like (to me at least), when you’re relying more on those abilities than standard attacks.

Also, I personally think it’s the most (or second most) well-told game of the franchise. They do a phenomenal job of setting up different situations with maximum impact. The sad and hopeless feels sad and hopeless, the enraging feels enraging, and the grandiose feels ABSOLUTELY GRANDIOSE.

I loved it. Great story which kept me hooked all the way through. Def recommend.

Very different from previous FF’s. You only control one character. Combat is very fun, and you can definitely style on your foes with sick combos. Sometimes basic enemies die too quickly. I enjoyed the story for the most part. I love the characters and the world building is great. The side quests are unfortunately one of the weaker points, which is sad because they make up a ton of the content. Great music and visuals. Weapon upgrade system is pretty basic (number go up). Overall a great game IMO, but I don’t think it holds a candle to FF7 REBIRTH.

don’t works great on GNU/Linux yet even with a 3080 (very unstable framerate even with low settings). Hope proton will be fixed soon by Valve so this game run like FF7 remake.

Thank fucking Christ it’s not epic exclusive.

Epic isn’t making money on exclusives. Square Enix isn’t making money on exclusives. Sony probably isn’t even making money on third party exclusives. Thankfully, market forces have ensured that it was never going to be exclusive.

Epic never expected to make money on exclusives. They were using them as a loss-leader to force people to use their shitty store. Fortunately it looks like they've lost enough money to make them stop or at least cut back on their shenanigans.

The loss leader strategy hasn’t worked, is what I meant. They said in an article in the past few days, quite explicitly, that that strategy isn’t even working for whatever ill-advised loss leader strategy they’re up to in order to acquire users.
