Mainline yeah, but we did have that pokemon-esque spinoff World of FF which was goofy and KH as fuck and I liked that

I’ll definitely give FFXVI a try but I have only about two issues with it.
First is the main cast seem underwhelming. It reminds me a lot of the FFV main characters. There’s nothing that really pops out to me unless you’re somebody who thinks a facial scar makes a character look cool. I prefer the FF with weirder looking characters and I’m sick to death of all human casts.
Second issue is the director Hiroshi Takai who also directed The Last Remnant. In my opinion that game was absolute shit and there are a few things that look slightly similar to it in FFXVI at least with the art direction. Takai was put on FFXIV for a while after, I don’t like MMO’s so I don’t know if he got any better.
I think the combat looks alright and hopefully a little better than FF7R. I still prefer the classic turn based combat though but I’m probably not who they’re trying to sell to anymore. Also thank god there’s no anime and movie required to watch before this comes out (at least for now).

Or maybe the whole thing is Aerith's dream and Zack is a fragment of her psyche trying to save her.
Deathmask: a plaster of a person's face upon death.
Coupled with Zemus' spare parts floating around in the Subterrain, perhaps he is creating more clones and strand-ins of himself in the hopes that one will offer a suitable vessel for him to inhabit. For example, those Deathmask face enemies or whatever. All this effort is ultimately wasted since all they do is cast spells like Libra; they have no useful purpose other than to annoy you.
Again, it's not explicitly stated, but any encounter on floors B8-B12 can be considered a "boss" because of the music.
6-8 was the golden age of weird-ass monsters. House with legs, skeleton in a pirate ship, little blue alien in a UFO, hockey players...

16 to me seems they're putting a shitload of prominence on the summons. So much so I figure they're going to be integrated heavily into combat. It already looks like that you change your combat style by aligning yourself with a specific summon. The summons also being real people probably means those will be the party members.
13 got tedious, 13-2 then went full retard in the other direction and made shit fall like paper, Lightning Return's combat was probably the only one that balanced shit right.
Lightning Returns is also probably the only 13 game that's actually fun.

I couldn't enjoy that game because having a time limited with specific timed quests 30 hour RPG should be a capital crime.

I've got access to Final Fantasy VIII on PS1. I haven't played it in like 20 years at least. Should I do it and if I do how should I play it?

Play through it without leveling up, that was a real challenge for me back then. Card mod is your number one ability.
There are good guides to do this online.

No, not levelling up makes the game easier if you abuse card mod/secret ultima draw points and the card ability to earn AP to learn No Encounters with no xp earned, the game is so hilariously broken.

just play through the story while prioritize learning the GF RF abilities and junction slots like Str-J so you don't have to grind drawing too much and powerful enough to smack everything dead.

But I also hated the 'core' trio of 13 (Lightning, Snow, Hope) and wished they would all burst into flames.

Black dad and australian punch mommy were the best characters in that shit show of a game

My favorite FFXIII character is Chocolina: the tiny chocobo chick that lived in black dad's afro in the first game then got horny and turned into a human woman in a bikini.

I will probably give FF XVI a chance, it looks somewhat interesting from the trailers but I truly haven't enjoyed a FF game since XII. FFXIII bored me to tears and I didn't like any of the party members. I still have to check out FF XIV at some point.

I don't know if I'm just getting old but FFXVI looks like something I'd enjoy if I were 14.

Cloud was rated #1 in Japan...after Advent Children. Lightning would go on to beat Cloud in the rankings.
This is another modern Cloud for Japanese kids to latch onto. They seem to like intense, brooding characters.

I am torn because remakes always do something supremely gay and fuck up what made the game good in the first place.
But at the same time I would love an 8 remake just so I can have my weird little 10 minute space horror segment, also I want to see cringe virgin Laguna voiced and in HD.

I'm constantly on the verge of crying. Sephiroth is my darkness. I'm cool.

This is going to be controversial because I know a LOT of kiwis here can't stand Remake, but I actually think they balanced out Cloud's characterization pretty well there. They did the brooding emo KH trope and then spent most of the game consistently showcasing what a fucking socially awkward dork Cloud is at the end of the day, complete with his OG wisecracking asshole persona. Some people might not be into that, but I'd say it's a welcome change from Advent Children.
