Been playing FF16. Really been enjoying it! It's really just a movie or TV series with sporadic combat. But I really enjoy storyline in games more than gameplay most times. I like that they added items to make the combat stupid easy for someone like me that has never been good at doing combo moves. I feel like it might be a bit too easy at times, but still fun. I swore to never buy another FF game after 13, but I'm glad they released a demo so I could see how fun the game would be.
I've also been playing FF16 recently and been loving it. I can't really explain what makes it so good because in many ways it just isn't a great game. But what it does well, it's doing really well. It's just so enjoyable to play.
I kind of struggle with the constant cut scenes. There are times when the only gameplay is just walking to another room and then another 5min cut scene starts. There was even a point where the cut scene was so long my controller shut off. I often feel like they could have just released it as a TV series instead of a game.
The graphics are great, the fighting animations are awesome, and the times that I do manually control combat it's super fun. I do agree that it's not a great game (it might be better if I stopped being lazy and removed the "cheater" rings) but it is a lot of fun to play!
I talked about this with a friend. From what I've seen it's about the spectacle. It might not have Dark Souls levels of technical and mechanical design mastery, but hot damn, the sheer fucking spectacle of it all!
I think that's the genius of the game. It's not meant to be a space for player to hone or practice their action RPG combat skills. It's meant to blow their minds and make them feel powerful.
