I think square enix made a promise to spoil everything before they release the game

CS7501d ago

Yeah Square does that. After FF7 remake, I never watch the trailers for a SE game after the first one.

TricksterArrow501d ago

Wha…? FF7 Remake’s trailers did not spoil most of the plot. So much so that some fans felt “duped” that it was more of a sequel than a 1:1 Remake.

TricksterArrow501d ago

@a7madRyan Sure, in retrospect is a big spoiler, but watching for the first time without playing the game they are just random scenes put together. They might as well be dreams for all the unsuspecting player knows. That and 90% of the trailer are just scenes from the ‘97 game.

The Nerd Stash: "Final Fantasy 16's DLC is a worthy adventure that adds a lot of jaw-dropping moments and more Hollywood-style fights to an already great RPG."

I don't know about ''great'' rpg.

Most epic fight sequences and presentation? Yes

Worst side quests ever? Yes
Boring traversal? Yes
Empty worlds? Yes
Demo is infinitely more mature than the actual game? Yes
FF16=MMO side quests + Devil May Cry Lite

I'd give it the great part, it's the RPG part I find dubious.

There is no Roleplaying/decision making in this game.
No crafting there isnt even character builds because just like Dante/Bayonetta Clive has all skills and loadouts available to him.

Let’s be honest, this isn’t a “great” RPG. I am in the camp that it IS an RPG, no DMC game I’ve played is designed like this… but in terms of being a great RPG… well, I much prefer the RE-Trilogy over this.

That being said, I do think the DLCs have probably the best boss battles I’ve played in a game. Omega was crazy and the battle theme just amplified that for me. In the other hand, I’m struggling to think of a game that has a boss battle as great as Leviathan. Like, I played it on FF mode and it was sooooo intense and just a gorgeous and fun experience. The music was also top notch!

However, I really disliked most of everything of FF16. The Benedikta arc was fantastic, but after that the game was boring and a slog to get through. I think the boss battles were the best parts, but also inconsistent for me. Bahamut was peak for the base game, but everything else didn’t surpass that experience until you play the DLC bosses.

The 2 DLC's were great. 2 new eikon ability sets (leviathan and...) and a survival/bloody palace mode with Rising Tide were great as well.

The Base game is already great for me IMHO and the 2 DLC will even make it better.
