I wouldnt say XVIs reception has been terrific, yeah. It isnt a disaster. But it isnt, like spectacular by any stretch.
I think Rebirth is the only modern FF (not counting a couple of XIV expansions) with a truly strong reception. And, like anything, its hardly universal - but you can kind of feel an energy that isnt often there.
XVI is like I dont know. Certainly, there are a fair number of people who love it. I like it a lot! But theres been a
lot
of backlash, too.
Its virtually impossible to actually calculate all this. Thats just my interpretation of the situation.
