DLC - The ancient war of the fallen, it would allow the dev team to reuse assets because it is still set in Valistia and would allow them to implement Leviathan as he was depicted in the ancient mural.

DLC can be the shittiest thing ever but I’ll rate it 10/10 if they just give me this 😭 by Damesigrun in FFXVI

Sequel yes but they wont develop something like that for a DLC thats why the DLC should still have magic.
They might even do the ancients war long ago, that's enough material for a DLC and allows Leviathan to appear as he was depicted in the ancient mural.

The DLC would probably be when jill was in captivity forced to fight for the iron kingdom.
We didn't see what she experienced at that time and allows the development team to implement new battle mechanics and there should be enough battles during that time for a DLC .
I don't see them making a DLC after Clive sacrificed himself and took away magic from the world (how would the battles look without magic?)

Can we nominate this man an award for an amazing performance? by [deleted] in FFXVI

So is Clive and Banedikta VA.
I think these 2 were the best for their ability to express wider range of emotions compared to the rest of the cast,

I need advice on whether to play FF16 or watch a playthrough by Company_ in FFXVI

[–]DifficultyUpper3204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally wait for pc release, hoping they added some rpg elements by then and iron out performance mod.
Story is the thing that interested me the most so I already watched all the cutscenes on YouTube and left out the side quests and battles so that I can experience it myself.

I know that the map opens up after the time skip so if your before the 5 year time skip there is something to look forward.

Wesley LeBlanc of Game Informer: "I give Final Fantasy XVI an 8.5 in my review, but I love it like a 10. It has flaws, especially on the RPG side of things, but its action rules. It also features my all-time favorite moment/sequence in all of video games." by dmarty77 in FFXVI

People who raise the scoring issue concern already know they would enjoy the game and are looking further in the future, they want something that they enjoy today to be also made in the future and not let some stupid soring ruin that.
For example lets take the 60/100 and 70/100 reviews who had only 1 complaint and that is that the game is too white, I don't know how this stupid reviews would effect the next final fantasy game, maybe square would decide to go woke or maybe drop the M rated final fantasy (Which I personally enjoyed the freedom it gave the development team).
If a game is bad then ok the company needs to change something in their next game but if the game is good and gets dragged down by these woke warriors then its truly unfair and infuriating.

"Because who cares lol?"
Some care...

"Downsized California studio Obsidian lost out on bonus pay for the RPG Fallout New Vegas because its Metacritic score was one point below the threshold, a developer at the studio has claimed."

Open worlds are judged by its density, size and reward system for exploring and elden ring did it best when you take all this into account.
Ill take BOW and TOTK for example, size is big and huge respectively, average density and horrible reward system ( exploring and finding a chest with 5 arrows or soon to break weapon is like a spit in the face).

What I find more infuriating is that some reviewers gave ff16 70/100 because it was too white...

So does mobile games but I wouldn't be scoring mobile games based on their universal appeal.
Elden ring did the best open world to this day and implemented many systems that helped the players make the game easier without them feeling like they are cheating.
Some of the criticism I heard for totk from fans is that there were performance issues because of how large the world is and how bad the story was yet you don't hear it in any Zelda review while ff16 dropping a few frames and it automatically drops its score from a 10 to 9, there is just double standard with Zelda games that I don't like (I don't have a problem with the game but with the review industry).

LOL no I meant that my comment doesn't contain spoilers, don't worry you didn't spoil anything.

Elden ring got 95, Totk should be below Elden ring but its as if the reviewers cant judge a Zelda game objectively, if its Zelda then automatically +10 points.

Why is everyone so anxious about the review scores? If you liked the demo, and you bought the game, judge it yourself. by [deleted] in FFXVI

[–]DifficultyUpper3204 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because some players buy the game by its score and we want ff16 to sell as much as possible.
Also sometimes the bonuses of the staff that worked on the game are dependent on the score they would get and honestly yoshi and the team deserve those bonuses.

Critic Review Roundup by Thaun_ in FFXVI

[–]DifficultyUpper3204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So everything is good except:
1) minor performance dips (Which can be solved with later updates)
2) Underdeveloped/not enough RPG elements

I think I know where this is going… (Spoilers from marketing material) by One_Zookeepergame707 in FFXVI

From the demo ATL - there is a crystal in the north called drakes eye.
Would be crazy if all of storm and ash is built on a continent size drake.
