Been enjoying FFXVI a lot so far. The plot feels like a mixture of Ff tactics (class warfare, noble born son who identifies with lower classes, not quite a bastard), FF14 (many from the same team, combat is very tight and involves reading clear cues to react to), and FF6 (imperialists abusing magic, etc).
The combat is far better than 15 as it's been tightened way more, feels like simplified devil may cry. The game gives you an option to use accessories that simplify combat so that it's incredibly accessible, but if you feel that using these accessories later is too easy you are benefitted by freeing those accessory slots for ones that give stat boosts.
Anyways it feels good to be able to enjoy an FF again. After 12 I kinda gave up on them (tried 15 and dropped it)
I love FFT and it's story so I'd probably be down with this entry's plot but sadly I don't have a console or pc that can play this, 🤷
That sucks. I splurged on a PS5 during covid in a time when I had a good amount of disposable income (and honestly it collected dust for a long time).
I don't buy new games anymore either. I pirate what I can on PC (which is old enough that it's barely playing anything new anymore) and otherwise I wait however long it takes for games to get down to 30$ or less because I don't feel fomo often.
I actually realized I could use a free month trial of game fly for FFXVI and somehow managed to get them to send on release so my plan is to play as much as possible before the trial is up and then get back to it once it's on sale.
I wish that consoles went down in price over time but it feels like they're following Nintendo in leaving hardware prices up 😐
Cool but I really can't see myself ever buying a new console ever again. I've thought about the switch tho, if I ever get a job lined up. The new zelda(s) look like they're worth a buy and monster hunter world/rise.
I don't have one but I helped an old roommate hack his. They are very very easy to mod if you get the right model version, and absolutely worth it even if you have to pay the premium for it, and once you do it becomes a very economical purchase since you've got access to the whole library
hm, sounds tempting.
