Diablo is going to be a shit show at launch. FF is the obvious choice.

The beta was very polished tho. Why do you think it'll be bad?

For me personally, the beta killed any hype i had for Diablo 4.

Besides the inevitable day 1 server crash and/or queue times, I'm expecting it to be like the launch of D3 where everything is overtuned to drive you towards the battle pass until people complain enough that in 6 months they stop with that shit.

curious to hear this as well. Also lets be honest FF has some good remakes recently but the last actual entry FF15 wasnt finished for years after it released so lets not get our hopes up even if I hope 16 is GOTY

I'd worry more about queue times being stupid high when D4 releases than it crashing

They won't be. Open beta had no waiting times

Yes it did. I had to wait like 40 minutes every time I'd log in on Fri/Saturday. The next beta(Server Slam) was very nice in that regard though. I didn't wait that whole weekend, but it had less players than the previous beta ofc.

D4 wants at least $70 just to play, then they are gonna try to get another $80/year in battle passes. Then another $70 per expansion.

On the one hand you have Diablo 4, a game being developed by a studio very much in decline and that has garnered a very negative reputation. On the other hand you have FF16, whose Executive Producer is widely regarded as one of the absolute most brilliant team leaders in the last two decades and whose main project (FF14) is both an amazing game and is one of the biggest commercial successes of all time in gaming barring consumer-abusive stuff like Candy Crush.

Both are going to be questionable. I've long since said that outside the 2.5d games Square-Enix really has lost their way with their other titles. 16 seems to have the most promise of the recent Final Fantasy titles with who is behind it, but I'm also skeptical because its Square-Enix. I have a feeling its a similar issue that Blizzard has. A really great team, but one asshole (Bobby Kotick) or investors preventing them from being as good as it could be.

I think Diablo 4 has a lot to live up to. They know that they had a lot of negative feedback from Diablo Immortal. Whether they take that feedback and actually listen to it is another story, but I know that Mike Morhaime specifically mentioned that whenever Dreamhaven does release its first game, it won't be taking money from investors, that they want full control behind their projects, which screams to me that there were a lot of backdoor politics preventing them from achieving everything they wanted to achieve with World of Warcraft and their other titles.

My suggestion is to wait about a week, find some spoiler free reviews and judge your purchase based on that.

Given what you said in opening post, probably FFXVI. I'm getting both but I definitely see D4 being the bigger time sink.
