Where does FFXVI rank in the series?

Topic.

Mid 8s

Not in my top ten FF but solid overall

How about compared to FFXIII?

ha ha

Thats a serious question.

S Tier: Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy X
A Tier: Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XVI
B Tier: Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy V
C Tier: Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XV
D Tier: Final Fantasy XII
F Tier: Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III

Not tiered: Final Fantasy XI (never played) Final Fantasy XIV (Played, but it's an MMO which is not my thing)

Just my opinion. Of course I didn't mind it not being turn based.

IMO kinda low. Above 15, 2, 3, and maybe 12 and thats it.

(Of those I've played)

S Tier: X, XII
A Tier: VIII, XIII
B Tier: I, X-2, XIII-2, XVI
C Tier: XV

Best modern one, only behind XIII

Interesting. Seems to be slightly above average then.
