Spirits Within is decent if you separate it from Final Fantasy.

It really needed to be called something else. It's like making a sequel to lord of the rings in space with guns.

Yeah. That whole section of the game somehow manages to not be outrageous enough when the intent was to be as ridiculously flamboyant as possible.

I raised the point that advertisers and partners wanted it to be more PG. But Reddit was like, nah, mate, now you’ve got a choice of what to wear.

The movie was forgettable but everyone spoke as if it would replace real actors with CG one day.
It's laughable how bad it looks even compared to today's games.

If I recall correctly, the Occuria were like "YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE SHITS" and then cast them all down as espers or something. Most of the espers suck ass.
(Everything in 12 is useless, it seems. Debuffs, summons, technicks, guns, niche jobs. And it gets worse the further you go out.)

He was a fucking bitch despite my entire party being disgustingly overleveled. I've got every job but Dark Knight unlocked for Ramza and two generics, and I still had to play the battle with Ramza as a black mage and my generics as monks. They could two-hit his cronies with Aurablast, but I still needed to give everyone Items + Throw Items in order to spam Phoenix Downs due to Belias' fucking one-hitter magic.
Also, interestingly:
yet Holy doesn't do any extra damage to him, and that's gay

His Lucavi form I could handle, it's the first round that's the real kick in the dick. Especially if you had no idea (or forgot) you were fighting him solo.
Saved right before you fought him and don't have the right equipment or job? Lol get fucked, start a new game.

I lost a save file there. RIP. Nobody really knew how to play back then though.
Now I just no-hit him with jumpninja Ramza while moving and waiting to manipulate CT so his turns always come up when I'm in the air and I'll get my turn before his after I land. Way she goes.

New trailer looks bad ass.
People crying about "this is not ff".
For me what truly makes FF is that each game is totally unique and a new universe to explore, even better for me that this one seems to have a more toned down and medieval setting with massive fucking monsters.
I'm excited. Combat looks good, I understand the worry about "not turned based" but if they make it the somewhat hybrid of action AND turnbased like FF7-R I think this is going to be great.
If all else fails and it's a shitter, at least we will get a great sound track from Soken.

I bet it's going to be the same or similar combat system that's in FF15. The god character models look pretty badass I gotta say.

I'm still undecided on how I feel about XVIs combat, but I trust Yoshida and his crew will make a fucking banger of a game.

I haven't played Final Fantasy in years, but one thing I always liked, especially in the 2D games, was how there's zero context for most random encounter enemies. The weirdness & mystery adds to the setting IMO.
Like in FF6's floating continent, there's zero explanation for why you're suddenly fighting these giant floating heads, or how they came to be, or why the game considers them "undead"
I also liked how random the enemy names were. You'd see foreign words ("Pas de seul", "Dechirer" "Strapparer"), occult words ("Baalzephon" "Devoahan" "Belphegor")
scientific names ("Aepyornis" "Rajiformes"), mythological or historical places & figures ("Zephyrus" "Clymenus" "Halicarnassus"), etc.

Nier Automata had the basis of a good action RPG system I think. There you had 'chips' you could install to your characters to give bonuses like health on hit, higher damage, bigger parrying windows, etc etc. Reminded a bit of the materia system in 7 where you could find these really busted combinations that broke the game open, like linking 4 cut and counter materia so you counter four times. Automata's combat is a bit slippery for my tastes and the chip system is fairly simple but the idea is there and I could see something like 16 expanding it to keep the character building aspect of the genre without losing the tight timing of a good action game.

If FF16 turns out good then great, but they need to resurrect Chrono series or something and make a AAA RPG. Making numbers pop out of attacks in your DMC reskin isn't fooling anybody.
...Not that I actually trust they'd not ruin their other franchises, but yeah.

It does look a bit more rough compared to the first trailer, but the combat director of DMC5 is working on this, so I have hopes.
