Final Fantasy 16 is being rated M so it's not out of the realms of possibility.

I've mentioned Triangle Strategy before, and having finally finished it I can't recommend it. The game is very much a spiritual succesor to FF Tactics, up to including some iconic jobs like the Calculator, but it has a lot of problems in it.
I think the biggest problem is that it's incredibly lacking in enemy variety, you have no less than 30 unique playable character (with each character locked into his job), while the enemies have, excluding bosses, about 6 (all humanoids), and they are extremely basic. Making fights pretty straightforward "curl up in a ball" and kill enemies as they aggro you. Having a lot of characters also backfires since you don't have a reason to switch them around, especially as you probably invest money into existing ones that are good enough and the game gives you a paultry limit of 10 characters in main battles. At least leveling up unused units is extremely fast. The devs should have let you fight against characters that are similar to yours, which would have also made it more understandable how to utilize characters you haven't used yet. Finally almost all battles are basic "kill all enemies" (which the game uses the word "decimate" which really annoys me).
Story wise the game is pretty boring, it looks like the game tries to portray complex political area only to devolve pretty quickly into "green land heroes good, pink hair jews good, winter nation bad, sand nation super bad, war foroil salt bad". The biggest surprise I had from the story is how mundane it was. There are some moments with the characters to know them better, but most of them are generic and not memorable. I wish some of those had contained a battle and stat gains, which would have made them more interesting and would have given the player more reason to seek them out.
The game gives the player the illusion of choice with specific segments where characters vote for a decision, but the decision doesn't really matter besides what few characters join you, the plot will still reach the same points (including cases that goes completely against what you actually decided to do). There is also little reason to replay the game for the plot unless you go into a specific ending since it's the same plot points and if you want to do the true ending you might actually need to replay parts you already did.
The final endings are determined by Mass Effect 3 style "choose your ending" with a fourth true ending that invalidates all the other so what's the point. The votes themselves are pointless unless you are unlucky enough to have a character not vote your way if you didn't grind social stats high enough, making it just regular choice decisions with extra steps. Midway through the game I checked a guide that showed me that I could get the true end, and it is one of the most bullshit things I've played:
The visuals and music are pretty good though.

Basically your party splits 3 way into groups for specific battles, the game doesn't hint at what parties are best for each fight so either use a guide or risk losing an hour of progress. Because the way the game decided which character join you (you need to replay multiple times for a full roster and have social stat gains for some characters), I had 7 out of 10 characters for each battle. Now you'd think the game would notice this is incredibly unfair and give me generic characters to compensate, or make the fights easier, but nope. They are hard as balls and I had to cheese most of them. Afterwards it gets better, but the final boss seems to belong to a completely different game and has some annoying abilities.
The whole ending process is also retarded since instead of voting the main character simply decides for himself what he wants to do, which make the moral of the game "don't take your friend's advice and just do what you think is best".

So I'm about 4 hours into FF7R, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Some changes I don't really like but I have to say the combat is phenomenal and the cut scenes are great. Only thing really getting on my nerves is how absolutely cock starved Jesse is. Her constant Whedonesque quipping is getting old real goddamn fast.
That being said, I like the VA in this game. Cloud is perfectly cast and I love how over the top Barrett is. I'm not a big fan of Wedge in this but that's a small gripe.

Same fucking problem that Bravely Default has. Makes job variety entirely useless.

I truly wish that I could have liked this game more. I completed one playthrough (opting for Frederica’s vision) and got about six chapters into a second before I gave up on it. I liked the general tone, I suppose. When it was first announced, I wondered why they just didn’t throw the Final Fantasy Tactics label on it, but now I realize how ill advised that would have been.

I turned off the subtitles and actually paid attention to the face sync on my second playthough. It's quite stunning. Even on the sidequests.
One other gripe I had was the fact they had subtitles for ambient citizen conversations. Great idea in theory, but they put in so dam many of em its overwhelming. Id recommend turning that off.

Yeah, the background conversations get a little annoying but it does make the world feel more populated. I just completed the motorbike part and it was more fun than it was in the original I think. Going to have to redo it though for the achievement now that I know the enemies and their attacks. The boss fight felt overly long for what it was but those fights feel longer in general for this version.

Final Fantasy XV is the biggest piece of shit ever

When was that made official? Not that I don't believe you. The last trailer showed lots of blood and an implicit sex scene, I just want to know whether or not its official. It we be a massive about face for Squeenix, seeing as they pretty much whitewashed all of the edginess out of Versus 13 to turn it into FF XV.

Honestly FFXIV is also a piece of shit. It seems to serve more of a purpose as a social platform, I find the gameplay to be bad, story is bad, its like vaguely a Final Fantasy game with its dick chopped off instead of being a chode like usual lately. FFXI I actually thought was cool, at least in 2007ish which is apparently considered its golden age. I did not get too far in it, but I respect it, theres some stuff that really separates the boys from the men in that game, and it was very different, albeit Japanese-hardcore as fuck compared to WoW.
Unless you're a serious, actual faggot with bad taste and you actually give a shit about XIV's stupid ass story, and you still want to play this dickless MMO, I recommend you fucking pay IRL money to skip the story quests. They let you do it for a reason. I tried to be tough and do it legitimately. By the time you're done you will hate the game. By the time I went through my first dungeon as a black mage I felt as if I had just been raped and brainwashed in Yoshida's dungeon for 100 years

“If they cuck me again and sell me an incomplete boring game one more time, I’ll never come back to this series!”

How does Square do it guys, Kingdom Hearts 3 was so laughable & rushed it’s a sad meme, but I watch the trailer for 4 & I’m like hmm
maybe, why are they so good at making bad but buyable games???

The secret is the early games were laced with crack, and now that you're addicted you can't help yourself. Just one last hit couldn't hurt, right?“If they cuck me again and sell me an incomplete boring game one more time, I’ll never come back to this series!”

It probably doesn't help that its simply easier and more fun than playing some crusty games with sub-tier anime plots that, on top of that, force you to actually interact with them.

The gummiship open area bullethell shooter bullshit in KH3 also saved my life when I was too high on acid once, I literally beat all the hidden gummiship bosses by accident after turning on my PS4 on an intense trip, so maybe I’m biased. If that’s how it is for all Square consoomers than it’s deeper than that, but honestly that was the only fun I had playing that game.
I made a penis shaped gummiship and two titties as miniships and killed everything in space.

Interestingly, that article also reveals that XVI won't be open world like the last game was but use "area-based design".

What does that mean? Do they say? I guess it just means you run between theoretically connected zones but the transitions are done with artifice.

I'd say more like FFXV, if no other reason because we should try to forget XII ever happened.
Massive, open-world like areas, gated off by plot or mechanics.
