I read an article (https://www.gameinformer.com/exclus...s-a-reason-final-fantasy-16-isnt-an-open) about how they didn’t make it open world so they could focus more on the story, which sounds great to me!

“If we look back at Final Fantasy XV, a lot of the criticism about that game was kind of centered on the story,” Yoshida says before listing out some of the criticism. “‘Some of the storytelling elements weren’t as good as they could have been,’ or, ‘Towards the end, the story kind of loses its focus,’ or, ‘We have this story that needs to be told in DLC’ and then that DLC gets canceled so it can’t be told.

“So there are lots of problems there with the storytelling that we find. And for Final Fantasy XVI, we wanted to make sure that again, our focus [is] on storytelling […] so that we can cover those gaps that [FFXV] had.”

It will be on PC eventually. Might take a year or so.

I’m so looking forward to this. I’ve replayed FF7Remake, 9, 10, and 12 in anticipation. Would play 8, but now it’s Legend of Zelda time, which is also crazy fun.

And then they just revealed Dragon’s Dogma 2! I’m sure it’s not releasing this year, but that’s a good thing. 2023 is so stacked. This is the biggest year in gaming since I don’t know when. Good times.
