Final fantasy XVI (Official Thread) ensure spoilers are wrapped in spoiler tag.

[Gizmo_Duck]

The world is called Valisthea.

In the world the most powerful creatures are known as Eikons (these are the powerful summons basically) and the people who posses the power to wield one are known as dominants. Think of them like Naruto having the 9 tailed demon fox inside of him, and you'll pretty much have a damn good idea of where they're probably taking this stuff. There may even be a crazy ass ritual to forcefully remove one from a dominant, which probably kills them.

The game has 6 different realms.

The Grand Duchy of Rosaria
The Holy Empire of Sanbreque
The Dhalmekian Republic
The Iron Kingdom
The Crystalline Dominion
The Kingdom of Waloed

Final Fantasy 7 remake abandoned turn based combat and it’s been the most praised game they’ve released outside of 14. 13 was turn based and everyone hated it.

The battle system has nothing to do with it. In fact the biggest problems with XV wasn’t the battle system it was almost everything else

FF7 remake is still turn based.

Eh. I would call it a hybrid between action and turn based. SMT & DQ are what I consider to be turn based and remake is significantly different.

The only difference between remake and those two is you have to manually enter the attack command. Most people didn't understand remakes combat system at first because they think it is action when it is not.

It looks like action. But it doesn't have the fundamental properties of an ARPG. Meaning that playing optimally will have you trading hits more than trying to dodge. Also mashing on any difficulty will get you nowhere. So it is more turn-based than action. Since those concepts of combat are what you need to fundamentally understand.

Still, it is ATB ( Attack Turned Based) by definition. I have a strict definition of turn-based it being that one character on the field takes an action at one time. Remake is a variation of that. Don't get me wrong as the game progressed I become more and more a fan of the combat. But there is a lot they can improve on in Part 2, especially in terms of AI.

Well this is better than nothing.

Final Fantasy 16 has “fully AI-driven” party members in battle

"But that doesn't mean that they will just be there in battle"

Unfortunate you can't switch to these other characters.

Not that big of a deal, tbh. Besides, we'll have FF7 Rebirth to scratch that itch if need be.
