More I advance more I see the flaws.
It is 8.5/10 game for me and it is great but it could be better.

The story that was I found great at first become well less great in the middle… but it is still a good story.

Side quests are still the most bored prt of the game :(

I guess except for some weird reviewers most were on spot… overall I believe GoW/Ragnarok is a better game than FFXVI (it is the most close game I can think recently).

It's closer to Tales of Arise if you ignore the combat.
I finished the game and it's one of the best games this generation. I give it 9/10. Very memorable characters and beautiful story. Best Final Fantasy in years.
My problems are that they lost potential in level design, and some boring main quests that destroyed the pacing.
The game is also very easy. I died 3 times only because I was drinking tea while fighting bosses.

I stopped to play Tales of games since well SNES… the last demo I tried was Tales of Berseria on PS3.

The chaotic combat was what put me off from Tales of games.

I played pretty much most of them since Tales of Symphonia. Berseria is a fan favorite because it’s a waifu simulator… meh I very much disagree when I see it peddled.

Vesperia is the absolute best in the series and the most polished of the 2D/pseudo 3d era. Arise is the best of the 3d combat era by far since the level design isn’t as terrible as berseria etc and the previous 3d games. Arise is where it all comes together finally for modern tales games.

Vesperia is where to start and it’s aged exceptionally well. The remaster is excellent. Arise is sorta forgettable yet a good game. Vesperia is just masterclass

Btw is there any point to buying the hall a round of drinks for 10,000 Gil? I did it once but it didn’t do anything?

You are missing alot of you skipped Arise. Very beautiful story and memorable characters. I liked the combat though it's kind of chaotic as you described. However, it is much more challenging and more rewarding than FF16.

Finished. 50 hours. Done maybe 50% of side quests.
Loved the game but because of how huge and bombastic it is, I got desensitized about 10-15 hours ago around the
dion bossfight and barnabas sea split fight
.The game gets too huge and too crazy after that. There is too much of a god thing apparently haha.
XV ending hit me way harder. But still. XVI is great and an achievement in gaming

Vesperia is like the first Tales of in 2D combat? If so I will try it.

There's a lot of FUD, this analyst is trying to give the facts.


The userbase difference is not that big... it is like 15m max.
PS5 is over 40 million already.
Plus XB1 sold like less than 500k of initial 5 million FFXV shipments.

Trying to use FUD to fight FUD is not a good way imo.

Nah there's way more than 33m ps5's now, but it probably isn't above 40m
It was 38.4 million shipped at end of March.
The changes to end of June be like 42m or more is pretty high that puts the actual userbase near the FFXVI launch really close to 40m.

In any case I believe PS5 is already over 40 million in sold-out but these are my guesses.

Oh, i didn't realize it was 38.4 shipped in march. I guess that means like 43-44m shipped by end of june, so yeah sell through should be above 40m, probably 42m+
