Was a solid 7/10 for me. Some really great highs, but also a lot of very low lows. High production values, but very inconsistent.

FF hasn't been FF since XII and every new one is more far apart from what made this series great. Feel free to disagree but this DMC wannabe will never be FF outside its name.

That's actually a great question. I think they lost their touch by trying to much to please everyone. Budgets are so big nowadays, it needs to sell several millions. JRPGs are quite a niche (perhaps not anymore) but as much as I love Octopath Traveler, I don't expect that kind of titles got the same sales.

I loved it, but wish some things were done differently:
-Remove all bloated quests, replace with a few deep and proper side quests.
-More weapon options.
-Keep the story consistent with how it was at the beginning.
Regardless, I really enjoyed it. It had such an awesome fantasy vibe, I wish there was more to see and do in the world.

FF7 Remake and Rebirth are incalculably superior games. They might not be for everyone, but at least they fit the basic profile of what a RPG is and have enough agency, strategy, variety, and entertainment value to keep you from falling asleep, unlike XVI.
Many will tell you XIII, but I liked it. XV was the first single player game to straight up disappoint me. XVI is somehow worse. If it wasn't for the FF7 remake project I'd be actively ignoring this franchise by now.

Imo It never did, FF is mainly about the story, journey and its characters, back in the day RPG was the easier genre to fit all this elements together, all FF games for better or worse does the same thing, they ll focus on story, journey and characters, the difference is that nowadays the game doesnt need to be stuck in "tradicional" RPG format to deliver this 3 cores aspects of the séries.
it amazes me how lots of "fans" dont get that till this date.

FF stories are trash and people who play jrpgs for the story should learn to read books

Dont say that you think FF RPG is that deep for the séries to be played only for the gameplay ?
If thats the case you need better hobbies.

It was a good idea to return to a more medieval style world, but the game needed a fanservice heavy character like Cindy, Lulu or Tifa, it's an FF tradition!

I had a separate thread on 16 I think last year.
It's a good game. 8/10. GAF are haters.

It was terrible, but they've been terrible for a while now.
The series is so far removed from its roots, I dunno why I keep bothering with it, fomo I guess.
Lost Odyssey is on sale for like 8 bucks right now, I think I'm finally gonna try it out and see if I can't recapture some of that old jrpg goodness.
