the world feels so dead and uninteresting. doesn't feel like an FF game at fucking all. this is not even taking in consideration the combat system.

7r was absolutely final fantasy. Hell even 15 had tons of final fantasy themes, just modernized

16 barely has any at all

16 has significantly more in common with Final Fantasy than 7R

The combat is awesome. But the high fantasy style of writing is a slog whether I'm watching or playing anything.

Still one of the GotY.

Ive seen a lot of valid criticism of the game, but dead and uninteresting world? No way. Theres so much going on with all the different factions vying for power, theres rich history everywhere you go, the world feels very alive and the actions of the characters have an impact on it all.

Its not a perfect game by any means, but the world building is definitely something they nailed.

Nobody's winning GotY over Zelda sadly, even if they are better games.
Baldur's Gate 3 should be in contention if Larian keeps the Act 1 quality throughout.

the world building is all tell and zero show. the concept is fine but the execution stinks. that's why the world feels dead.

BG3 is already better in my view.
Act 1 in Early Access heralds one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Unless Larian fumbles in Acts 2 and 3 of course.

Now i understand why the director actually didn't want to use numbers and prefer sub titles like Stranger of Paradise.
It will set wrong expectations.

Doesn't feel any different than the average Ryu ga Gotoku or Kojima game when it comes to cutscenes imo

It still feels like Final Fantasy to me, but I also thought RE7-8 felt very much like classic Resident Evils.

Game is fantastic to me, anything but boring. I'm just heavily invested in the story, and the gameplay finally matches the kind of action choreography they've been putting in the franchise's cutscenes for a long time now.

That said, sometimes I wonder what kind of game I'm playing when the action gets a little too insane, lol. I just finished the Bahamut fight and it felt like a DBZ game.

Nah, it's a superb game. Unfortunately, with it being a new Final Fantasy, there will always be fans who feel the need to whine about the silliest of things. The game has its flaws but instead of pointing those out, they cry about nonsense.

The gameplay to cutscene ratio is atrocious in those games too.

The problem is, that doesnt really say anything at all, as the three (or 6 if you count the direct sequels) since then were all shit in various ways.
