A complete 180 from talk of Skyrim- I played the Final Fantasy 16 demo, and holy hell, it is good. It’s nice to see Square Enix back on top of their game after almost 2 decades of not having their shit together (though many would argue that they already recovered with FF14, but I don’t like MMOs so that’s not relevant to me).
Generally, I prefer RPGs that give a lot of freedom. Let me decide whom my character is and what he says and does. But my favorite games are actually the ones that just have me sit back and tell me an amazing story. There are very few games that I would consider truly successful at this. FF7 - FF10 a few of them. FF16 looks like it’s going to be another.
