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.

Play the demo if you can. I think most people who have will give the consensus the story is good.

I've played tens of hours of 15 several times to try to like it, and I still find it so hard to care.

I understood more of what was going on and cared more about Clive and his situation after the first 15 mins of 16, and then the rest of the demo just made more intrigued.

That's good to hear. I remember getting to a point in 15 where there's a long cutscene of a city invasion, and I realized I didn't know what city it was, who was invading, or why. Nor did I know what relation it had to the segment I had just played. So at that point I had enough.
