Trash Taste Reviews Final Fantasy XVI

you can swing a fine fancy though what uh what do you think of it uh it's good um definitely better than 15 that's for sure it's most certainly a game but you would not enjoy oh well I enjoyed the first two hours and then I did another stream playing it for two hours that was sponsored yeah it was fine but I I don't know if I'm gonna continue yeah because I want to play the other final fantasies first yeah I mean I know I know you finished the final fantasies I I think when I went into it I liked the fast-paced combat we played eight I like the eight yeah I like the part of me as much as I hate turn-based combat it's kind of nice sometimes really you should play 10 next I hate it in modern games because I feel like it's outdated right yeah I just said in Pokemon where it just feels like it walks um so do you want to go back to like the first couple of final fans yeah I'm gonna play some of them play six everyone says six I feel like six I should play I've played some of the other ones because everyone says in all the Final Fantasy staff are like six is the accumulation of the perfect Final Fantasy it is and I'm like okay well I'll save that then I'm yeah then maybe play like yeah probably play Four first then yeah ones seemed tough to get into they seem like it's like one like a slog I'm not gonna lie yeah they can't be what uh what didn't draw you in about this Final Fantasy Final Fantasy 16. I don't know it's on paper I'm like this is very I mean it's not that I didn't draw me in it's just I I think that it's a lot and I was like I also I think uh well I don't even know what I don't even know what I can say because I was sponsored by them I don't always get pissed off okay sometimes I did feel like it was like I could put my controller down and then I when I had to pick it back up I was like oh [ __ ] it's a game yeah that was like I was like oh [ __ ] no because yeah because they the the producers of cut scenes yeah okay now now I understand the producer actually said before the game came out that this was supposedly the most cinematic it is I almost they weren't lying I almost like wish and I know that there is an easy story mode but like there was a version of it that was just like a 17 hour show yeah yeah that like didn't require you to put any input because I actually actually like I found myself getting really into the cutscenes and then I was like oh [ __ ] I gotta play and it was fun it was great but it was like it was like oh I was like I'm just getting confused with the fact that I was like oh yeah I gotta I gotta keep playing it's an actual game yeah it's pretty interesting I mean it was it was very it was very interesting because I think that it's it's for me it I think it'll lend itself well and history as being a great in-between point for the series yes yeah I think it'll lead to like 17 being like figuring out a formula that really works but I don't know if having that many cutscenes is good for a game I it I'm torn as well because even me I [ __ ] love the cutscenes I love voice so it's it's so surreal just seeing like a jrpg without like let's say the typical anime-esque voice actors and just saying like do you mean Xenoblade yes yes Joey or any jrpg yeah and the and hearing actual British voice actors but either there are like some moments in the game where um I like the gameplay and I really really like the story I don't know if it wants to be a game or a movie they made this the cutscenes too damn good yeah they did to the point where it's like damn that's the that's like I'm so hyped for the cutscene so when I go in the gameplay yeah like I said like it's like oh [ __ ] okay yeah yeah I want more of the cutscenes yeah it's it's weird because like I really really for example like Metal Gear Solid right the medical solid series who that those cut scenes were so long that I could just put my controller down and just zoom out for like 30 minutes I was like I'm fine with that I'm totally fine on that it's so weird with Final Fantasy because the cutscenes are short enough that I still have to pay attention about the controller but it's long enough that it kind of like breaks the flow of like the gameplay I think the one issue I have with 16 is that like I don't mind cutscenes in my video games as long as you're telling you know as long as it's for a purpose and you know the narrative is good which so far with 16 has been great but I think my problem with 16 right now is that like the the I guess the switching between cutscene and playable part of the game is so like constant yeah where it's like you know there'd be moments where it's like okay you get out of a you enter a village there's a cut scene that like explains the village and the main quest and then you walk for 15 seconds and then another cutscene plays and then you walk another 15 seconds and then another cutscene plays where it's like just give me one long and then one long gaming session and then I'll be good I also I I like it but I don't know how to feel about it I like the active law button where you can just you're like him you're like I don't know what the [ __ ] is going on in the story let me hold down this button and it brings up a menu that'll that you can it'll you can move your like cursor over it and it'll tell you about what this concept is or what this faction is or who you have to be careful with that because it's awesome stuff yeah I've heard from people like especially near like the last 10 of the game that part just straight up has spoil isn't it I believe it yeah I mean I've been trying to avoid as much as possible I mean I think it's a game changer because especially at the beginning where they just introduce you to all these all of these like countries and people and uh characters and I'm like I can't remember who the [ __ ] this is in this time skips and stuff and you're like okay this is it's like being thrown into Game of Thrones at like like well I mean actually being a Thrones Game of Thrones uh because you're just like what the hell is happening but in Game of Thrones of the time to go through all of it yeah and I feel like they may be and I remember the story time is a little bit more they introduced things a little bit better and Final Fantasy the one thing I did with the new one I found to struggle with was that there was there was too much stuff that I was trying to keep track of and I didn't quite understand and that's why the active law button felt necessary whereas I feel like it shouldn't be necessary but a nice little thing if I want to refresh yeah but a lot of the time I found myself having to do it I think the active law thing though is definitely a good step and direction of like explaining law without having these like [ __ ] Pages without having to like go to a system and like the log and [ __ ] to be like here's like a [ __ ] drop down menu of everything you know where it's like I'm actually that guy [ __ ] why okay so how do you hate yourself when because I was genuine like when I uh one one reasons I [ __ ] love Final Fantasy 16 is because like the world genuinely genuinely it's great yeah no it's great it's [ __ ] great and I just wanted to be immersed so as soon as like there's a character in like your hideout that basically has like the is the law keeper and that like has all of the wiki articles and I literally just wasted I think in like an hour and a half when that opened up just like reading just like reading everything just so I can just immerse myself in what was going on I think my biggest problem with it so far I'm about like 20 hours in at the time recording uh there just hasn't been a character that I have fallen in love with yeah yeah normally in a jrpg I've fallen in love with the cast and the the Dynamics and you know just spending time with these characters but so far there just hasn't been like the characters haven't called out to me yet I mean I did have one but uh he didn't last long I mean without key foilers I just feel like there hasn't been enough let's say like the main story I I feel like the biggest weakness of Final Fantasy has actually been so far the side quests because side quests yeah the Side Quests for this one are a little bit boring yeah the side quest for me in like especially in jrpgs is a great way to just to just ignore the story or ignore the main story for a bit and just flesh out these characters hanging out together yeah and um just uh exploring like and expanding the world and giving you the opportunity to learn about the the world and the characters organically yeah and all of the side quests so far has just been fetch Quest and there's been like pick up dirt yeah pick up dirt go find this person Assassin's Creed style yeah it is kill five crabs and it's just like I don't get anything more from doing these side quests if I had not done it yeah so it's just been like the main story for me and the main story is great but the main story so far has not given me enough time with these characters enough banter enough just natural chemistry from each like get attached to like the whole cast and I don't know if that's going to change I hope it does uh but that's like my biggest gripe with Final Fantasy
