God of War fans might want to pay attention
Square Enix has published the patch notes for Final Fantasy 16's next update, which is set to drop on the 18th April alongside The Rising Tide DLC. They're surprisingly lengthy, and cover a lot of stuff that was never actually mentioned by the developer upon the update's announcement last month.
This perfectly exemplifies why I choose to wait quite a while to buy ‘new’ games. This meaty patch basically makes the game an improved experience overall from what it originally was. My first impression and experiences of the game will arguably be ‘better’ than it would have been otherwise.
Have there been any improvements to the performance mode in recent updates? The game seemed great, but I wasn't pleased with the way it looked in performance mode. I'm hoping there is a major Pro update.
No minigames?
No playable party members?
No fixing the boring environments?
No actual rpg mechanics?
This turd polish 'patch' is just a scam now.
Push Square: "Final Fantasy 16 was one of our favourite games of 2023, and so we wanted to find out more about The Rising Tide — the title's second and final expansion — ahead of its release on the 18th April. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to land an interview with Takeo Kujiraoka — the veteran Square Enix dev who's actually the director of Final Fantasy 16's DLC, having previously been a lead combat designer for the base game."
PS: "The Rising Tide, the second and final expansion for Final Fantasy 16, is set to feature some of the game's most challenging combat scenarios. That's according to DLC director (and a lead combat designer for the base game) Takeo Kujiraoka, who, in an upcoming interview with Push Square, told us that the addition of DLC has allowed the development team to push the title's combat system."
I’ll be real, I don’t generally go into a FF game looking for difficulty. I just hope the trophies aren’t a nightmare to get. I need a break after doing the brutal/legendary challenges and hard mode in Rebirth. A lot of that was rage inducing.
Will it also be more RPG, and less hack and slash?
Good game, really enjoyed the story but I'm not interested in more of it. I want SE to go back to traditional RPG style.
I’ll still be waiting for the complete edition to drop. Maybe I’ll get to play it later on this year.
I’m a God of War fan and FF fan . Sounds interesting putting the newer combat of GoW with FF world . I am sold , it will definitely be strange as a FF game but let’s see what’s up . Looks great even if combat has gone away from the past it has been evolving far away from turn based for many years now . I do hope they do some side games as turn based in FF universe at least , and I’d love for a numbered entry to be turn based but those days may be over for good . Who knows
