At first I took it slow and did all the side shit as I went, but then I just stopped and went through the main story. These games just don’t have good side activities.
You have to play remake to understand rebirth.
There’s basically two different timelines.
Biggs is. Not Jessie.
Things will likely go largely the same but there will be a difference at the end. There’s a specific theory I’ve heard about this.
Honestly you'd be better off just playing the Witcher instead since that was a way better "Final Fantasy" game than XVI. There is a reason why The Witcher 3 is still celebrated as one of the GOATs a decade after it's release and why no one gave two fucks about FFXVI.
I'm no graphics whore but it has pretty bad graphics compared to almost every other Square game, understandably, but it really doesn't look that good. I think it's also too bloated with bad minigames. I think some were mandatory weren't they? I recall being stuck at a digging site on my first playthrough.
With mods the graphics don't really matter any more. Frankly it's pretty insane how good some of them look. But even the base game was pretty impressive for the time in terms of camera and environments. The shots where the camera pans out on a cg environment as your moving are pretty impressive.
It's absolutely true. Especially for pixel sprites. Apparently old school games look worse in HD because they were designed to bring out more details for a CRT.
The characters have no style and no arcs to speak of. It's a parade of homages to games that actually matter, like they’re trying to get by on the coattails of better ideas. And that outdated four-character setup? It’s like watching a VHS tape on a 4K TV—it’s just not cutting it anymore.
Zidane and Garnet are good characters, Steiner too if you can overlook his awful design.
