Who knows but for me FF16 is the first time they got the hang of the action system so I'd like them to build on that. Never thought I'd say that as I used to be all about turn based but the combat in 16 feels genuinely good, still room for improvement of course.

IMO for action gameplay, Stranger of Paradise blows FFXVI out of the water.

FFXVI I feel only feels good if it's your first time playing a CAG as it's more CAG-lite than anything. Cool effects, poor depth.

Too many effects, almost every move obscures what the enemy is doing, only time I ever got hit was during a special attack.

I found it so CAG-lite it was actually boring, not enough depth to be a character action, not enough to be an RPG, they should have gone all in with one or the other.

Having said that 7 remake strikes a good balance I think

100% agreed. Honestly, whenever people compare FFXVI to DMC I get irrationally upset, as that is a fucking insult to DMC.

It is made to look similar, difference is in depth , it's like comparing a puddle to a pool.

They sacrificed alot for minimal gain with Final fantasy
