Who the fuck can afford to do this? Thats $2416 a month.


Thats around what I put in PER YEAR making 43k+ and it feels like nothing. At this pace Ill probably end up with no more than 200k or so which by then wont be much.

12 is really good tooo with some of the series best gameplay, but the story and characters are under developed.

The dialogue in 3's opening was like bad fanfiction. I like the game overall, but everything in that opening was awkward.

I always get the impression there was someone who wrote stuff like the opening, the ending, thessia, those bloody dream sequences, whereas the rest of the game had writers who were actually competent. Because the game is pretty fine until you hit certain "central plot points".


Think it was part of appealing to the lowest common denominator. This is the age where games started getting dumbed down (DA2, this, Inquisition) to try and reach more sales

Well you've kinda hit the heart of it here. This is the Final Fantasy game that says "fuck". This is the Final Fantasy game that shows naked people in bed. They clearly want this one to be thought of as a "mature" story and yet for trying to use those themes, they ultimately mishandle them due to lack of follow-through. Adult fictional writers of our time are managing it, so why shouldn't we expect something at least in line with that from one of the top video game series?

But these are adults writing these stories, y'know? I don't just want to say "oh it's Final Fantasy developers/writers we can't expect too much" because that's kind of infantilizing, isn't it?

I mean yes, I'm glad that the story is starting to tackle adult topics rather than the mess that was XIII for example, but wanting to be seen as adult means being treated as an adult.


Well swearing and nudity doesnt really mean mature, right? The people behind the script are capable this time around so I really think it was intentional to have a surface level discourse of such themes. Afterall they really wanted to sell as many copies as they could so maybe it's part of the making it accessible to everybody?

Also what games can we hold as the examples of adult writing and topics? Bioware games? By the end of the game, you get some quests that get quite close to that level. This game couldve benefited so much from a "choice wheel" or at least be able to ask people about different things. It also wouldve solved Jills slightly undeveloped issues.

Massive mishandling of the slavery narrative is my biggest one. Apparently no one ever thought to free the slaves before Cid. No record of slave revolts. The non-magical of Valisthea treat their superhero slaves as if they're worthless trash despite needing them to perform basic simple tasks such as keeping a fire going or drying clothes.

It hits a pretty egregious point in the first visit to Northreach with the local sidequests there.


That may be right, but I dont really expect a super nuanced take on such real life issues from a FF game. The game presents itself as dark and mature, and while it has a nice layer of presentation through more adult and believable writing, the core themes are on par with previous entries...for better and worse?

I mean what the main antagonist is setting out to do is something right out a typical jrpg story and kinda cliched by now. Theyre just using college level words this time.

Btw....Im loving the discourse this game is bringing. It really means FF is back.

7r was absolutely final fantasy. Hell even 15 had tons of final fantasy themes, just modernized

16 barely has any at all

Have you finished the game? It becomes more and more final fantasy by the end.

That said the game does have pacing issues. It hits some of the series highest highs multiple times....only to experience some of the lowest lows multiple times as well

Regular mob difficulty is non existent. Very light rpg mechanics are its other flaws. But the overall presentation of the story and top production quality of it all really demands at least a 9. I can see why reviewers were conflicted. Theres an even more amazing game buried there between the lame quests and simple customization mechanics.

I still loved it. Really made you want to keep playing to see what happens next like previous entries did.
