The plot / writing feels like it was put together by a 13 year old, or maybe an AI. it's almost interesting, and almost makes sense, but doesn't. Things just sort of "happen", and they don't really make sense and aren't really explained. Character motivations are unclear. Also, the gameplay is shit.
The world they created is super compelling, which seems to always be the case with Final Fantasy games. I just wish they could make an actually good game to go with their top tier world building and art direction.
I guess we can agree that the art/worldbuilding is pretty great. Except for the suprising lack of any black people ? Not sure if there are any minorities in it but I think their excuse was realism....in a world with chocobos and dragons. Like say what you want about House of the Dragon and Rings of Power but at least those fantasy stories featured black folk in decently sized roles. For a fantasy game that will feature black people - Dragons Dogma 2 (might end up being better than FF16 as well)
Apparently in FF16 mages are literally enslaved so i guess Square Enix doesnt want to feature black people?
Still that reeks of lazy copout like why the hell the mages gets enslaved in the first place, like sure a lot of them are weaker mages but given that even the mages that practically are gods like the dominants are treated like shit i dont understand why theres no single faction where the dominant decides the mages are free.
In one region where they hate mages the Dominant is treated like shit. In other regions the Dominants are rulers, either directly or indirectly
