tenderjerk posted:the soundtrack to ff 16 is incredible from the clips i watched but is this game really just kingdom hearts qte bullshit with very high production values i'm about 65% through based on what the ps5 home screen thing tells me, though i have no idea how they map the main story events to that percentage, so take my opinion based on that. to me, there are some kingdom hearts vibes that start about a third of the way in, mostly with regards to characters, but unlike kingdom hearts the story generally remains as logical as a final fantasy game possibly can the qtes get kind of old but the spectacle is perhaps unlike any other in a video game. there are also more total cutscenes in ff16 than either death stranding or mgs4, so if you don't like cutscenes then you'll hate it

Mr Hootington posted:Good. The game rules i'm close to 75% of the way through because i've done a bunch of the side quests and the immediate reaction is that i'd rank it 4th. that's not the tallest ask since half the games in the series are average at best 7 > 10 > 8 > 16 > 5 > 6 > 4 , some order of 1, 2, 3, 9, and 15 as they all have their own problems > 12. 8 and 10 are more or less interchangeable in the order for different reasons. i never finished 13 but at least the world is interesting in theory and not a retread generic fantasy realm, so i'd probably still put it right below 4. i need to actually get through it at some point. 11 and 14 are hard to put in. 11 has problems for its era and barrier to entry but it's been around for over 20 years and had some interesting design with regards to subclasses and combat. shadowbringers was legitimately very good and i didn't bother with endwalker but a lot of the other expansions bored me, although they've made quality of life improvements since. i played og 14 for a hot second though and it truly was utter dogshit . the thing with 16 is that it's loving long by final fantasy standards and probably has more cutscenes than any single player game ever made, so it's not something i would rush to play through again in the context of doing a hard mode for trophies and skipping cutscenes, but the spectacle really is matched by few other games. there is some dumb padding, even if it's not as bad as what ff7r did (though i think 7r is the better game because of its treatment of the source material and the combat is the best of any rpg i've ever played), but you get to the next eikon fight and it's all just utterly absurd in the best way.

it's a hard game to play through again because it's unbelievably loving long by final fantasy standards and has some extremely bad pacing in parts, but i would still rank it 3rd or 4th in the series if they somehow fixed some of the pacing issues like they did with ff15 it could arguably be #2 Ben Nerevarine posted:how long did it take you? this game just goes and goes the credits are rolling but home screen thing was pushing 48 hours last i checked a couple hours ago, so say about 50 hours. i did a fair number of sidequests but i skipped the 15-20 they throw at you to finish the game because it'd probably take another 10+ hours if you don't do many sidequests you're still looking at close to 40 hours

Good Soldier Svejk posted:that sounds promising i played 15 at launch and ardyn and the ending were the only good parts. the ending was almost good enough to make up for the rest of the game, almost and i know they later fixed all the poo poo in chapter 13 where you had no equipment or whatever in the prison and it was utterly miserable 16 is unfathomably better and anyone who gave it a bad review is an idiot or just isn't the target demographic for final fantasy games. the game's biggest sins are the mmo-like dialogue cameras (handing items offscreen etc), some disparity in character model quality, and the pacing between eikon battles, specifically in the second half

i'm also glad that the game upheld the generally respected final fantasy tradition of having its final boss battle in some variation of outer space

Ytlaya posted:FFX voice acting was always very good, especially for the time when it was released. ffx is great game as a teen and a superb game as an adult also iirc the reason for the cadence was because character speech was coded against the japanese audio, so they had to contain all of the english voice acting within a specific, equivalent window of time or the game would crash

all i remember was that the final boss was wacky, you had a cool rear end spaceship, and you could eat flesh that transformed you into monsters and robots and poo poo

is bg3 worth the money if i've never played one before and aren't a d&d player, or is it pretty essential that you're into that kind of gameplay? it seems like everyone's raving about it but i don't trust gamers just trying to get a feel for "if you like X then you'll like this" cause i know zero about the series

i finally bothered to play ffx2 the entire way through and i think if you include it in the main series it might be the second worst entry. possibly even the absolute worst. i realize why i never finished it back at release the combat system is not anywhere near as good as people like to think and the story was bad then and even worse now

One More Fat Nerd posted:I bounced off it at release and tried again immediately after doing the ffx remaster earlier this year. i've tried to get my wife to play more games as a shared interest and wanted her to play through ffx, but as soon as she saw lulu she kinda lost interest. i could probably try to convince her to just ignore the one particularly stupid character design (let's be real that 95% of spira's population looks ridiculous, but lulu is not great) and i think she would like it, plus the ctb system kicks rear end and is much more manageable for a non gamer than atb. it's also got one of the more coherent plots once you understand the whole zanarkand concept. x2 takes it to a whole new level of terrible though. i have no idea what they were thinking beyond the obvious.
