Anyone who hated 12, 13, 15 or FF7re will finally get the FF of their dreams?

i only had an issue with 13 being so damn linear
im very much pleased to see FF going back to its high fantasy setting while retaining that "zip around" battle mechanic of 15

If you haven't liked anything from FF in 15 years, just move on. It's just getting sad

I'm going to say probably not. But how bad could it be, right?

MMOs don't count. We all know that. MMO standards are way different.

I actually don't understand it. Cause MMO players should be the last ones complaining when other games are empty and boring >_>. They completely rely on others to make an empty boring world fun. The game they're playing is usually 10x more empty and boring without their friends.

Pretty much this. I haven't liked one since 12. 15 looked cool and I gave it a shot but got burned there too so I'm done. Square just isn't a company I trust anymore. As far as I'm concerned, they're a Japanese EA, and I haven't bought an EA game in years so I'm totally fine doing the same with Square.

Even in the housing wards they have npcs that react with each other. Like in mist they miqote swimming in the water.

Your misconception is that other people make the world feel so much more alive than even a game like FFX and when they aren't around it feels empty by comparison.

But if ffxiv was never online it would feel like the biggest and most vibrant ff game. Many npcs to talk and interact with. Deep lore. Fates with talking npcs, expanding the lore and localized with funny names.

I get it if you wait for a sale or until it's $20-30 to give it another try. But if you're day oneing a series you haven't liked a main entry in since early 2000s, you deserve to be bitter and cranky lol.

I didn't get that far, so Ill let you have it. My main thing was that the fanbase was always fragmented and counting them in the same group like they're the same people makes the conversation a mess. It was pretty much agreed upon a long time ago that we talk about non MMOs separately.

XII and XIII were mediocre

XV was downright awful

Don't have a PS4 so can't even check out FFVIIR as of now.

I'm not going to hold my breath of FFXVI being a return to form but boy would it be nice if it was.

FF11 came out before broadband was everywhere.
This was what impeded most who played FF on consoles from getting into it. Plus the fact that you have to sub.

In 2020 though, most people have highspeed internet and a ps4 can run the game as good as a pc for low settings.

I see no reason to split them up. Are we assuming FF fans are unable to socialize with others in a text chat?
Not like combat style is an impediment to what makes a mainline FF anymore.

I keep an open mind, but considering the game looks like they grabbed assets straight out of 14 I don't have high hopes. And Inigo, your dead wrong on that opinion. 12 was shit, 15 was shit, 13 was mediocre and that was only because I liked the battle system. Never played 7R. But I have multiple copies of 4 through 10-2 on different systems. There's a reason people gave a shit about FF back then, all their games had amazing stories and beautiful worlds. Now its just beautiful worlds.

Take 15 for example. In order to understand the plot of 15, you have to first watch both Kingsglaive and brotherhood, which gives backstory to each major character, which you need to actually know who any of them are, and then you play the game. Not to mention that they had to add multiple paid dlcs to fix the damn story in the game and even then they didn't finish it and the main director Tabata "quit" midway. I still think he was fired.

13 and 15 were bad tho, and I can see how 7R ending could ruin the game for them. 12 is pretty great tho.

The Gyr Abania zones in Stormblood are absolutely empty, boring and bland, you can tell they just didn't bother trying because with flying introduced in Heavensward you're just going to visit everything once and never visit again unless you're flying to a hunt mark or gathering node
