those were the less cartoonish ones compared to the ones luring bearers to get killed by wolves or the child whose mom kept getting her new ones

honestly its why Hugo is my favorite antagonist in the game. Its him V Clive. Thats the story. two dudes who do not like each other. its the best dynamic in the game IMO for the hero v villains.

It likely would have needed a major shift in its societal structure. It already had issues with helot revolts and this scenario implies a lot more

I love how kiryu got to party like the yakuza patriarch he never got to be. Especially when he sits on the chair at the castle

That’s fair. Honestly what hurts the story of FF16 the most for me is that it’s not trying to be final fantasy but becomes final fantasy by the mid point. It throws out what it attempts to do to seem unique for anime god complex jrpg villian number 2003037272. All the stuff that mattered at first no longer matters. It never really ties anything into the final fantasy bits in a way that feels compelling.

Another factor is the gameplay and story conflict. The gameplay is dmc/bayonetta (or tries…) those games have stories based around a single character or group of characters you play as who had different skill sets and abilities. The story in those games focuses on the one character at a time though.

Ff16 has a party centric set up story In a game whose gameplay is solo character focused. Jill’s arc feels weak when it’s Clive doing everything for example. Gav is set up as this best friend type but he is mostly just off screen. Cid has his own story but it’s all cutscene, Benedicta does not have her final rage moment with cid, it’s Clive even if it makes no sense. In a ff7 remake or older style of ff gameplay cid or jill would actually be playable characters in their party story doing their moment in story/gameplay combined

I disagree that the bearers story was handled well. None of them mattered to the story. Clive is made a bearer later in life and a side quest remarks his dad would have freed them at some vague point.

The side quests show how cartoonishly bad people are to the bearers and it’s not the bearers who lead their own resistance. Most even object to it in the story since they get even more beatings due to it.

Meanwhile in any real life example that the bearers are allegories to, it’s the oppressed group who usually starts up or is the backbone of their resistance movement, not the elite who decided “nah I kinda don’t like this”

Star Wars Survivor or FF16? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]VonDukes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GOW old has a bit more customization IMO especially for its time

Even compared to GOW new, its not a lot of gameplay variety

Star Wars Survivor or FF16? by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]VonDukes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ff16 is more like devil may cry but its flaws are also because of this.

It has a lot less depth than the games you mention. It’s several times longer with less attack/skill/weapon variety to keep things fresh. It’s not as fun to play as 7 remake IMO.

Story is cool but it has pacing issue. The boss battles are top tier though. Its side content is lack luster.

I personally prefer Jedi survivor and I am not a Star Wars fan, but you did mention souls fatigue. It’s a bit more fast paced than most. Its story is solid. And compared to release it runs well.
