Me along with 3 other Xbox players are still waiting for FFXVI :(

I'm close to the end on PC, and I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. FFIV-FFX are some of my favorite games of all time, but I really didn't like XII-XV.

There are plenty of things I could criticize, and it's by no means perfect. But altogether I've had a good time with it.

I’m FFXIII fanboy and the game gets bad rep so apologies for this uninvited tirade.

If you didn’t give XIII a proper shot then please do. FFXIII battle system is extremely unique and although you have to waddle through 20 hours of tutorials it gets sublime and feels really natural by the second half of the game. That story while cheesy can be as serious as Shin Megami Tensei at times, with people doomed to be trapped between divine powers. Main characters decide not to eat their shit and go against all odds to one of the better soundtracks in series. It all happens along a corridor but the sense of scale does not suffer from it. Sequels to FFXIII are awesome too.

I gave FFXIII 3 shots, putting in over 40h in total. The farthest I got was about halfway through, two years ago. I hated the game so much, that I actually stopped playing games altogether for like three months. It was completely miserable. I'm a certified FFXIII hater.
