Well I guess that’s the direction it will go from now on, can’t change the world.
It’s the final step of a transformation that started after FFX.

Nope, it’s literally every score below like 80 that says the same thing. Without these blinders on for some people, the game would easily be scoring a 95 right now.

Insert someone like ugly female Fable main character. RPG turns instantly into a 10/10.

Badass story, god of war spectacle and cool characters is all I need from a final fantasy. Seems sidequest are run of the mill though.

One of the greats, for the look of it. I'm glad. Getting it tomorrow.
...I hope my kids leave time to play it

You forgot FFVII, I see.They actually did it. A brand new singleplayer Final Fantasy that doesn’t suck.

By the way, don't forget about this guy. One of the few YouTubers I can trust.
I also recommend you suscribe to him if you want some positivity in your life.

Reviews are great.
Polygon and Eurogamer dragging down the game predictably so metacritic will probably be under 90, a shame as the devs worked asses off with this and went flat out. FFXVI being held up to higher standards unfairly, whilst GOW Ragnarock gets a free pass for its medioctrity and gets dished out 10s galore.
I was with you until you wrote this shit. WTF?!?

A game not made by pandering blue haired wicca propagandists but just Japanese bros that want to make a European style dark fantasy
Finally!

They wrote this article because 2.5% of the people voted in favor of the boycott. 97.5% of the people voted that they are not gonna boycott.

Eurogamer continues to be as embarrassing as ever.
I don't understand why so much obsession with the Metacritic score, it's as if 89 to 90 were something distant, from another world. The score seems more important than the release of the game itself. They are different opinions, there will always be some dissonance.
The important thing here is that, for the most part, the game is fantastic and I can't wait to play it.

Pretty great reviews so far. Predictably higher than the baffling 81 Metacritic score FFXV received back in 2016.
It will probably settle at 87 or 88 just like FF7R did.

And they've nuked the ENTIRE comment section that was politely asking them to remove this hit-piece and get better at reporting.

Eurogamer Spain called it "The definition of Epic" and recommended it (they don't use a five-star ranking system).

I can't think of any FF games other than the MMOs where armor changes appearance.

Gotta laugh at reviews who gush and praise and then dock the game points because of what it doesn’t do.
Some games can get away with not doing everything, others don’t it seems.

lol people just wanna see something theyre into do well. This is like saying "I dont understand why fans of this sports team want said sports team to win"

Eurogamer 3/5, doubtless.because:
"The world is also conspicuous for its ethnic homogeneity..." Whine whine cry.
Jesus. They never give it a rest do they, the clowns.

Sry, German review:
In short, the first 2-3 hours are really good, and than its a let down. Just another action rpg after that.
Seems more like the game is a "love it or hate it" thing.

Funny Eurogamer anecdote. An old forum account of mine that got shadowbanned there for pointing out the illogicality of their stance about Kingdom Come: Deliverance back in 2018 suddenly started generating "like" alerts again about a week ago.
Coincidence, or are they dipping back into their traditional bait-posting mode for FFXVI?

Yeah you're right now that I think about it but I guess it's something I've grown to really appreciate
30 years of reminding people that each numbered title essentially acts like a new IP, but it’s sadly pretty clear a lot of people nowadays are too stupid to understand this ridiculously simple concept.

disappointing character arcs and uneven story are two separate points?Looks like some of the reviews are also echoing some things people on GAF were worried about (re: RPG systems)
I understand, but that's not what I meant. It is the obsession with a specific number, above 90. It seems that anything below that is bad. If the final grade drops to 88, 89, it will be sad for some, as if it were a terrible grade.
It's like saying that winning 1-0 is too bad, we'll have to win 3-0.

Diablo 4 is at 86 on PC which is where most of the reviews are.
Not that it matters. This isn’t about vs Diablo.

Oh true, that is right. And of course games with Job systems change how the characters look depending on class (except for the main characters usually). And can't forget the FFX-2 with the dresspheres lol
I guess that is a FF game... sort of.
Anything above a 90 is basically a modern day classic and will def get more sales. My comparison still applies, its just now its kinda like youre saying "idk why fans of this sports team can't just be happy they made the playoffs. Why do they want so bad for them to win the championship?"
