It's an embarrassment to even release it on XBOX. Sweep this game under the rug and pretend it never existed.i couldn't do more than 20 hrs of ffxvi. incredibly ponderous & soulless. if you're curious (as i was), i very much recommend at least waiting for a sale (which i did)...
Series S has a single 30fps performance mode and seems to be running pretty much locked at it.
I remember some folks on Gaf had major concerns with how this could possibly run on Series S, back in the day. Looks like they did a pretty good job with this version.
That's true and from what I seen, SquareEnix seemed disappointed in the sales for both Final Fantasy games on PlayStation and PC and that's the reason why they decided to go with more of a multiplatform strategy. I don't think it's going to work out too well for them though because the audience for Final Fantasy just isn't on Xbox from my observation.Majority of the sales for both games are on PS Consoles.
FF16 is the worse FF in existence. Also Rebirth > Remake in everyway.FF16 is incredible.
One of best games I played last few years.
FF7 remake is great too. Better than rebirth
hope for pro patches too... ff16 could use it
SE is never satisfied, and I think their Multiplatform strategy won't work as well as it has worked for other companies as they expect.That's true and from what I seen, SquareEnix seemed disappointed in the sales for both Final Fantasy games on PlayStation and PC and that's the reason why they decided to go with more of a multiplatform strategy.

i came to the same conclusion as many others - should've been a purely action-based, 20 hour final fantasy spin-off. i mean, serving fucking bowls of stew?! the game just sorta meanders & stumbles along, & seems to have no consistent idea whatsoever of what exactly it's up to...It's an embarrassment to even release it on XBOX.

Au contraire, watch now people loving FF16
Same thing happened btw with Death stranding
Worst opinions ever. Rebirth is bloated. Everyone knows that.FF16 is the worse FF in existence. Also Rebirth > Remake in everyway.

lol what? Death stranding is highly rated and acclaimed by millions.No it didn't. You had a few people enjoy it and most still saw it for the overrated turd it is.
Don't worry : nobody on XBox still buy games, so...Don't waste your money Xbox bros. These games stink.
I would have bought it day one on Xbox, but Sony threw Square some stripper money.Good to see FF7 and FF16 come to Xbox i just hope Xbox players actually buy it for the console to show SE that there is an audience for them on Xbox.
If you want to play a Final Fantasy that is actually being good at being an action RPG, you should play Stranger of Paradise.
And the Final Fantasy VII Remake disaster is beyond saving. I hope Square shit out part 3 relatively soon so they can finally leave that behind them.
Somehow people hate everything these days. This game had me in shock what's happening on the screen. And it's a musical orgasm too. It's such an action rpg achievement. I don't expect it to be full out rpg and judge it for what it is and not for what it isn't. And what it is is extremely polished high quality action game with great original storyDon't sleep on FF16 and don't listen to tha haters. It is an amazing game and the story is just amazing, side quest are hit and miss but the main story is magical. Nice that more people can enjoy the game now
I've been playing bits of the demo, and so far I'm digging it. The training bit, and I'm gonna continue on from there. Story and characters seem interesting so far, gives me GoT vibes. So I was kinda getting ready for that purchase. Combat feels good too.
But the very negative comments really has me second guessing now. I guess the demo isn't representative of the full experience then? What is so bad about it? It sucks that I can't really rely on the refund thing by Xbox anymore, otherwise I could just see for myself, unless the demo is exactly how the full game starts too.
But I am really not that sure yet if I should purchase for 50 or even 70 bucks.
Thanks, that's a lot of info, I appreciate it. It does sound like I might be better off just waiting for a sale to grab the edition that has all the DLC too, 70 € now is a big ask.Finished it in about 70hours.
All in all, it's a...decent game, not the absolute shite like most in here will have you believe.
Story starts strong, very GOT-y but loses its steam halfway, gameplay is very DMC-lite but...enemy hit reactions are almost non existent and you'll just be mashing attacks and specials 99% of the time, game is also very easy, only some of the side mission hunts are challenging.
Side missions are MMOesque where basically you just have to teleport from point A to B and then back to A again.
Music is really good, the Eicon fights are spectacular.
It's a very..."chill" game to play when you're tired of getting your ass handed to you by strangers online or a souls-like.
It's not the best game out there but it's also not the worst, personally, it kept me good company for 2 months so I can't hate it, it's just that it's not anything "special".
Cheers

How are the locations though? I remember seeing a video before it came out and it showed some very cool looking locations to explore. Are these locations indeed worthwhile when it comes to exploration? And I assume the over world is like XV, a bit emptyish with monsters here and there?

The world is like how you described, empty-ish with monsters roaming about.
As for the exploration...well, you'll be doing the explorating bit the 1st time you're visiting a map and after doing so, you'll just be jumping from waypoint to waypoint next time you visit it just to save time ('cause there won't be anything new to find in it), the Witcher 3 this is not.
Locations are mostly good though, lots of picturesque locales with dilapidated houses/villages, windmills, castles etc.
Yep. Why do SE even bother.If it's not on Gamepass it's DOA
No one actually cares about Final Fantasy on Xbox. Less than 10,000 sold for each is possible
the demo section of the game is the best part by a long shot.I've been playing bits of the demo, and so far I'm digging it. The training bit, and I'm gonna continue on from there.

This has always been my opinion.Yeah you can safely ignore FFXVI, its a boring slog of a game.
I have stranger of paradise and still yet to play it. Hopefully I can give it a go sometime.
lol what? Death stranding is highly rated and acclaimed by millions.
It's the fools who still call is walking simulator and clearly didn't play the game
Honestly the demo is identical to the rest of the game. There's a reason I knew before most how this game would turn out. I just played it and saw. They even reuse a part of that Phoenix v Ifrit fight for a different fight later with different characters pasted on top instead. Base combat doesn't change much either.the demo section of the game is the best part by a long shot.
"How this could possibly run on Series S" - well it does run at 30fps so it's not like they performed some kind of miracle there.
Yeah, I remember jokes about it running at 480p or something.Oh you'd be surprised how many people there were who thought the only reason FF16 would never come to Xbox is they wouldn't be able to find a way to get it running on Series S.
I'll probably try to look up some older posts and do a supercut later. Might need some time though, they were spread around.
I finished the demo and yeah, now I want more. Especially to see what happens next. But I just checked, it's actually 60 euros for base game and 80 for the complete edition. I'm very reluctant to do that.
Sadly nothing on the sites such as cdkeys either.
Irony that even Square Enix is snubbing Switch 2 hard by prioritizing Xbox.
They aren't going to get any significant sales from Xbox. Switch on the other hand has shown to significantly increase sales of past released games like Nier Automata and DQXIThat's true and from what I seen, SquareEnix seemed disappointed in the sales for both Final Fantasy games on PlayStation and PC and that's the reason why they decided to go with more of a multiplatform strategy. I don't think it's going to work out too well for them though because the audience for Final Fantasy just isn't on Xbox from my observation.
Give it a little bit. just came out less than 18 hours ago.
Yeah, I remember jokes about it running at 480p or something.
Yeah, true that.
I should be patient, and just get back to playing Robocop, Psychonauts 2 and so much more still in my backlog. 60 let alone 80 euros is just way too much for FF16.
ff16 not really bad, it has some fun combat and serviceable story.
on rpg front its pretty bare bones though, approach it like an action adv and you'll have good time.
It's great. Buy it. Almost doubled dippedJesus, these mixed reactions on FF16 aren't helping me much, lol. Here I thought it was widely beloved, but that's FF7R I guess. Bit odd that isn't releasing first.
