What a bad, shytty, horrible, terrible, wack ending.

I’m putting this game back in the case and putting it on the bottom of my games stack.

4 outta 10

Tales of Arise was better than this shyt.

The whole game was tragic I don’t know why people expected the ending to be any different. There is still a possibility to rectify things in a DLC but me I am content,
would have loved a nod to Jill being pregnant though at least some happiness being conceived since they slept together on the beach.

3 hours into FF7R and I’m tempted to say it’s already better than FF16. There’s a top tier level of polish here that’s missing from most games, including FF16. The combat in FF16 was a nice continuation from this game, I feel. The combat in FF7R is fluid to a point where they’re not focused as much on reflexes.

Honestly playing this makes me miss my time of just running around the desert fighting whoever I ran across with Clive. Ain’t no reason for FF16’s successor to not have a fully playable party though.

It's FAR better, not even a contest.

They tried to pull a Mass Effect 3 and have an ending that invoked discussion. It ends up not actually committing to anything and is ambiguous as hell. It's a terrible ending that asks the player to choose what happened instead of clearly defining what happened.

It has the same ending as FF7. For years it was kept a big mystery as to whether everyone died, and then we cut to a far future where its implied that theres no more Mako being used. Literally the same exact shyt

FF7R has the same problems this game has, terrible pacing, bad side questing, tons of bloat, etc.

This game has wayyy more side questing than FF7R. I want to do another playthrough, but have no interest in delving into all of the sidequest again.

and another minus about FF7R are the actual dungeons suck. Like yeah, FFXVI is linear but its better off for it. I avoid playing FF7R because i cannot stand the dungeon design, like running around the rafters turning off the plate lights, the ghost train shyt, hojo’s little maze thing, etc.

Combine that with all the back tracking. At least the story in FFXVI is complete and the dialogue isn’t stilted.

It is. I never finished the original past a really early point as well, despite playing and beating almost every FF that came out after. The combat so far seems like peak JRPG stuff compared to FF16’s extremely action focused gameplay

Moronic comment - there is no issue with ambiguous endings that let the player decide what happens. You didn't say shyt in your post that rebuked this style of ending.
