Final Fantasy 16 Will Put You to Sleep

Ойындар

Final Fantasy 16 could've been a good game. The combat is fun, which is often the most important part of making a a good game. But this is a JRPG. People play these games for the story, and this story sucks.

    @Evanz111 Yeah it's weird. Testing out each element's charged projectiles, they all do the same exact damage number to enemies. Why even have all these different elements if none of them have unique properties. No affinities or option to exploit enemy resistance at all. Why is there not a burn meter filling up when I'm doing fire combos? Am ice meter should be slowing enemies down. Darkness should be making an enemy attack itself and/or other enemies in combat.

    I don't think lore, in and of itself is an issue, I'd even argue that extremely well thought out and compelling world building is nothing but a benefit. Rather, I think how "lore" is used by modern writers is the real problem. When used correctly, it functions like fries in a fast-food order. Ideally it slots in seemlessly with your burger and drink, and after you're done your meal, you might find some fries at the bottom of the bag - a little extra treat you weren't expecting. The way modern writers tend to use it is like a crutch or a bandaid for incompetent writing. They make bad creative decisions and try to excuse them by pointing to something outside of the story as justification. Take Destiny for example. It basically put the key points of its story on a bloody website instead of the actual game. If your story requires material outside of itself to make sense, then it's a bad story. Go rewrite it.

  • @12ealDealOfficial

    Agreed. I think lore is best when it is set dressing for a story, not the story itself. FFX had all of its lore delivered practically without the need for menus and such. The world had history in FFX but you were shown this in the level design. Tidus asked the same questions the player would likely want to ask, and the rest could be found organically by talking to NPCs. You only got as much lore as you needed to understand what was happening, and the delivery of that lore was tight and scaled with your level of interest to seek it out. Too many contemporary stories spend way too much time including everything possible in any way they can, text or no. It becomes boring.

    A great thing the Yakuza series does is having Control over the pacing of the story, don't want to continue the main story? Try exploring the city for some side activities, then you find a side story organically by you deciding to explore rather than getting some NPC giving you a waypoint to start another slow paced cutscene that you can't skim through because it's voiced.

The problem is the trends shouldnt dominating design-philosophies because thats why we end up with gaming that we got today . If gaming should improve after this woke-pocalypse then it should have much more variety of game-designs and approaches instead generalising everything into few samey genres .

    I seriously miss turn-based RPGs. Even though the systems were the result of technical limitations, they had this unique thrill and level of suspense that real time action games can't quite replicate. Battles were almost like puzzles, with the added benefits of nail-biting tension and glorious spectacle. EDIT: I'm not arguing that the original turn-based RPG formula was flawless. Of course it had issues; the most obvious of which were excessive grindiness and random encounters. I doubt anyone believes these mechanics were a net positive. I'm simply stating that, when at their best, turn-based RPG battles could be pulse-pounding games of cat-and-mouse mixed with chess. I personally haven't played a real-time action game that truly manages to give me that same feeling. Not even "Combat Puzzle" games like Doom Eternal.

    @@arkeshn729 Yep the remaster faces are pretty bad. Their excuse is that they wanted the faces to look more like how they looked in the cinematics, not something that wasn't possible in the PS2 era but of course this then made them look like different characters. I'd prefer it to just be all turn-based or all non-turn based and no special modes. Parallel mechanics take dev time away from everything else. And of course a classic mode won't have the same depth and attention to detail as if the game was built completely around turn-based combat.

    Yes, we've all seen that in Naruto as well. Demon hosts were used as dissuasive weapons and generally enslaved by the village but the series handled it better because sometimes the hosts were close to Kage themselves and/or independent but willing to help their people. It was justified by the lack of control of the host over the demon and the fact that the demon was sealed. I think this trope is also used a lot in superhero comics. Once again, most of the time, the enslaving authority generally uses specific objects or elements to counter the powers. Which is not the case in this FF.

    There is another guy just as jaded as he is: WorthaBuy. These two are pretty spot on in terms of highlighting flaws in games and not caring about the rest of society and what it thinks it cool. For games to truly advance we have to identify biases. Only a few reviewers are good at it. SKill up is pretty good but there is that feeling that as a channel gets more popular the move away from being cynical and more friendly to industry people starts to creep up. This is the path of most youtube people who rely on this as their main income. This is why corporate side to gaming pisses me off. At some point everyone turns into access media guy that is not self aware of the corruption. These giant companies need kick in the butt to remind them we want gaming to advance not stay stagnant. And the bigger the game industry gets the more corporate it gets and the more greedy and powerful it gets which allows them to ignore real criticism. (they reach the "too big to fail" status and don't give a sh1t if the product is bad because so many young people will still buy the stuff regardless. EA is perfect example of that)

    ​@@GuiltyBystander8Not true. The RPG traits in FFXVI would be... * Creating builds in regards to Eikonic Ability combinations with the means to improve them over time * Every level up providing stat increases * Equipment that can modify the gameplay or stats * Means to find equipment, or resources to improve equipment out in the world through drops or vendors * A coherent and decent narrative that is character-driven through Clive. It may not resonate with what you want, nor does it heavily use RPG mechanics. But it having 0 RPG mechanics? That's certainly false.

    No. That would be Final Fantasy Mystic Quest! Mind you Mystic Quest is a better game than FF13, 15, or 16. But Mystic Quest is the simplest Final Fantasy title by far. I prefer turn based RPGs. Strategy is way more important to me than flashy graphics. I'd say Octopath Traveler is a far superior game to any of the new Final Fantasy titles..

    "It's all in reverse now. Back in the day, in the PlayStation 1 era the CGI cutscenes was well received and appraised because two things: the spectacle factor and by giving context to the story. Gameplay was (and still is) the king and as such it was treat just like that. Now, you must to bear with the broken, nonsensical, subpar anime/manga writing to be able to play the damn game. And that if the gameplay is good enough to worth that time. Like you said: the save the best bits to the demo, baiting enough people to later delivers the kick in your gaming ballz. This can possibly be the final nail in the Final Fantasy franchise, thanks for the lack of touch from the Square-Enix suits. What shame."

    Good hack n slash games like Metal Gear Rising is great but I vouch for Ninja Gaiden, I like a little challenge and it's personally one of my favorite game series besides DMC and speaking of DMC, I recommend you play and review DMC5 since people compare it a lot to FFXVI. The game has its flaws which I won't spoil for you and it has a recap on the main menu and has got lesser cutscenes that aren't tedious. And because you have a PS5, you can get DMC5 Special Edition since it's a lot cheaper. I love hack n slash but overall, this genre itself used to be as popular as soulslikes, thankfully, Platinum Games are keeping it breathing with Bayonetta. Anyway, I love your content as it's a very honest gaming channel that encourages people to freely speak out their own opinions on games, keep up the great work!👍
