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)...

It's an embarrassment to even release it on XBOX. Sweep this game under the rug and pretend it never existed.

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.

FF16 is the worse FF in existence. Also Rebirth > Remake in everyway.

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.
IMO, most of the final fantasy games sales (single player ones) are on PS consoles, but that's just me.

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...

Au contraire, watch now people loving FF16
Same thing happened btw with Death stranding
No it didn't. You had a few people enjoy it and most still saw it for the overrated turd it is.

Worst opinions ever. Rebirth is bloated. Everyone knows that.

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

Final fantasy xvi was so bad it nearly killed the franchise for me.
The only thing im hoping for is that square look at expedition 33 and get inspired to make an incredible final fantasy again.
Give me the airship and looking around islands etc. Basically final fantasy VI style but brought up to today's standards.

I would have bought it day one on Xbox, but Sony threw Square some stripper money.

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 story

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.

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 like but loses its steam halfway through, 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 MMO-esque where basically you just have to teleport from point A to B and then back to A again, they're basically fetch quests.
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 (very ) good company for 2 months straight so I can't hate it, it's just that it's not anything "special".
It's the most 7/10 game I've ever played.
Cheers
PS : I really enjoyed the medieval, darker tone in this one, art-direction wise it's pretty good.

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.
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?
Giallo Corsa

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.

"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.

If you're feeling the intro and demo, then stick to the main questline for the game and you'll love it. People who got burned out and disliked it are the ones who want to 100% or do all quests.
The side quests are DBZ filler and you don't get much. The moogle one gets you good stuff (if I recall correctly). But just follow the story line through. You aren't tied to level grinding or anything and most abilities are behind story progression so there's nothing to worry about.

Even Velen in Witcher 3 had plenty areas on the map where there was nothing but nature and monsters, but with interesting villages full of fantastic side quests and stories and characters. I wish Jrpgs would look a bit at that instead of insisting on shit side quests.
I'm gonna continue with the demo and when that's done I'll make up my mind, might wait for a good sale and get the version with all the content.

the demo section of the game is the best part by a long shot.

This has always been my opinion.
But yesterday this opinion changed for some reason. Don't have time now because Space Marine releases tomorrow, but I'll buy it later this year.

This is actually a very decent game behind the PS3 level graphics and builds really matter. It feels good to nuke opponents with the correct magic.

I am aware it is highly rated. Hence, overrated.

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.

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.

Yeah, I remember jokes about it running at 480p or something.

It's weird that Square is saying "Winter" for Switch 2 as well. I was thinking it was going to be released soonish.

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 DQXI

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.

Maybe it will. The game struggles on base PS5.

But to a point, I do agree with you.
One of the main reasons Death Stranding's late port on Xbox did so well, and stayed in the top 3, 5 of the paid apps there for months, was that they gave it a very generous launch window discount as a late release.
This really should have been down to $50 for the 'complete' version by now across the board.

Completely out of the loop for the last week and my internet out here in the woods is struggling…
How much is 16 and did they release a physical version or no for Xbox?

This.
It's not an RPG in the slightest, still, you can have your fun.
Again, it's neither the worst, nor the best game out there, people act like it killed their dog or something, It's mediocre to good and that's pretty much it.
