Thoughts on Final Fantasy 16? (beehaw.org)

I feel like this game kind of came out of nowhere. We got a few small announcements and then nothing major until close to the release date, unlike the insane marketing blitz that was FF15. Maybe I was just out of the loop.

Anyways I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about it? I love Final Fantasy games but this one seems so different. Tbf I haven't played the demo, I'm planning on trying it tonight, but I'm curious what everyone thinks about such a major release.

I think I will enjoy it when it comes out on PC in two years.

    The fact that this is the state the franchise is in is precisely why I won't be playing it any time soon. I don't want to completely reconfigure my gaming setup to accommodate moving my bedroom PS5 to my desk to play long story titles like this, so I get to play the waiting game instead. Bonus points if they go for secondary Epic exclusivity, because the HITMAN III launch was such a disaster on PC that I'd really rather not buy anything else from there.

    It's just an unnecessary hassle and, as someone who only recently got into the franchise with XV, it's actively preventing me from bothering to really stick with it instead of just playing another Yakuza or something.

    Edit: Like I'm sure it's not an issue for 90% of people but I literally cannot be assed to go out of my way just because they chose not to make it convenient.

    look into PS Remote Play. i play my PS5 on a chromebook wherever i am at home to not wake the baby. the official app is fine, but the unofficial client Chiaki has linux/android/windows clients and has better performance and options. latency is as low as anything else on your LAN

    This is what being a patient gamer is all about. I don't own a playstation. I resent Epic for making pc excusivity a thing. I will buy it on steam and enjoy it once it will go out on it. I am voting with my wallet.

    There is no shortage of amazing games out there, so put it on a list and forget about it for now.

    I waited for Hades to go out on steam and it didn't keep me from immensely enjoying the game. I played my first Yakuza game a couple years ago and it was the same. Let's be patient together my friend.
