Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16? (beehaw.org)

I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven't played the demo, I'm planning on trying it tonight, but I'm curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

I'm so hyped for this game. Yoshi-P is the only one at Square-Enix who knows what he's doing. We're going back to some cheesy ass faux-Shakespeare localization (yeah I like Final Fantasy XII, don't @ me). We're getting a classic medieval fantasy story with magic crystals and killing god, but you also get to play a motherfucking kaiju battle sometimes. Inject it directly into my veins.

We must protect Yoshi-P at all costs. The man is a treasure.

Nah dawg, FF12 is excellent. Don’t feel any shame about that.

Honestly the way you described it has me hyped too! It seems like a really cool premises and story wise seems like they're going back to their roots a little. I loved FFXII so no judgement here! Also the icon battles look so intense! I think it's a pretty good way of integrating them into and Action RPG, I liked the summons in FFXV but I felt they were a bit too static and didn't quite fit into the combat system that well.

FF12 is my favorite Final Fantasy after 6.
