And Final Fantasy is more of a God of War game than God of War Ragnarok is. Those epic Eikon battle is what I wanted to see in Ragnarok.
FF got the better out of that exchange as far as I'm concerned.
Why is Final Fantasy less of an RPG than TW3? Both games have the exact same structure and FF just happens to have drastically better combat.
The whole point of a "Role Playing Game" is you have some choice as to how you want to play. What kind of character do you want? Do you want to be a melee player, magic user, how are you going to arrange your party, etc?
The reason FF16 is not a role playing game is there is basically zero choice in it. What upgrades you want? That doesn't really materially affect the game, and it is pure action combat. There is no way for you to
choose how to play. It's basically completely on rails.
It's not an RPG at all. It's an action game. And I don't understand why this is making people "mad.' The funny thing is I was personally thinking "God of War Ragnarok is more of an RPG than this is" a day or two before IGN put up their article. There is simply more
choice in GoWR. I still wouldn't call GoW an RPG really, but it has more elements than FF16 does.
Seriously, I don't understand why some people are getting mad at a genre description. FF16 is an RPG the way Back to the Future 3 is a western.
Game is totally half-baked. Not gonna pretend like it’s not. Reviews were fair if not pulling punches.
I love it and actually gonna finish it. 4 out 5 stars.
This is such a great take, and I think you're completely right on the reviews. And I'm totally gonna finish it.
The game is not perfect but I think if the game was exactly like it is but wasn't a PS moneyhat and did not carry the Final Fantasy name it would easily beat a game exactly like Tears of The Kingdom if it wasn't a Nintendo exclusive and carried the Zelda name.
It gets so much shit for things other games get away with, including Zelda.
Gotta disagree hard on this one! This game got a huge pass in the reviews, it's not even close to what an "88" (close to 90) game should be. I think it's getting a
better response because it's a PS exclusive called Final Fantasy. You take those things away and people would rate it much lower. If it was on Xbox too? I really don't think people would be trying to put so much "weight" on it. It would be just like Final Fantasy XV.
