It'll probably be amazing but I'm gonna miss not having party members. One of the fights shown when Maximilian Dood was playing a hunt showed Clive fighting alongside his dog and Jill. They're not controllable, but they do create that sense of fighting alongside comrades at some points at least.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome game, though I'd be more excited if I had a PS5. Given that the FF7 remake didn't come to XBox, I think the same is gonna happen with FF16.

Well, I'd love to play it on XBox as well, same with the remake. But with Sony splashing the moolah for exclusivity...
At least 6 months for the PC version?

It's getting largely great reviews across the board.
I have my copy installed and ready to go. The countdown you get after preinstalling a game is the biggest tease ever.

There was mention of a PC port when the PS5 exclusivity period ended, but XBox wasn't mentioned. And with Sony not being too pleased with Microsoft's involvement in the Activision sale, it's plausible they're responding back by making games exclusive. I think we might see more of that.

IIRC, Yoshi-P confirmed a PC version is coming after the timed exclusivity period ends. Even without MS and Sony's current blood feud I'd be really surprised if it ended up on Xbox, though. It's still a Japanese game and despite MS' attempts to get into the Japanese market, the Xbox consoles are DOA there.
That said, I normally worry about the quality (or lack thereof) of Square Enix's PC ports. But the PC version of FF14 is excellent and it's largely the same SQEX unit that worked on FF16. Just wondering how beefy those system requirements are gonna be. Like Starfield is surprisingly reasonable, but will FF16 follow suit?

I've accepted that I won't ever get to play the game. Maybe several years down the road if I'm lucky.

Haven't played the dmeo yet. Hope they have had the chance to actually finish the game before releasing. I enjoyed 15 a lot, but there were large parts of the game which seemed very rushed and unfinished with bits of plot cut or missing. 15 was….a game. It’s much more fun if you play the dlc chapters so you can switch party members with their skills unlocked, particularly Ignis (and to a lesser extent Prompto). I missed the announcement regarding FF15-pt 2. When is it getting released?

This looks good but it's amazing how they've seemed to have completely abandoned the RPG parts of the series. It's like if Resident Evil skipped 4&5 and just went from 3 to 6.

I’m going to be super tired for work tomorrow. No doubt plan to play like 2 hours once it hits 12 tonight I remember back in my teenage days when I would alarm my clock 2 hours before it was time to leave for school to get a bit of game time in. I still do it before work sometimes every now and then when a new & exciting game drops.

I'm still disappointed that Square Enix canceled the remaining FFXV DLC episodes, though at least they compiled their stories into written form.
Especially disappointed that they made the decision to cancel when the next episode was gonna star my girl Aranea.
