re: FF16 game thread non spoiler

The political machinations aren’t really anything akin to the any Witcher book or game imo. There’s spoilers reasons why this is the case and all isn’t as it seems but even disregarding that all of these people are on the face of it committing total war for what they see as the few last remaining life sustaining resources.

I’m pretty much approaching the final 2 hours of actual main story. This game will have its haters but for my money it’s one of the best games but out since at least elden ring and if you don’t like souls idk how long. It is wholly unique and offers stuff no one else has done and when 10000 people imitate like Witcher 3 you’ll know I’m right about this. I could go into all the reasons but I doubt you care. Honesty I expected to story or more so the primary driving plot to be what hooked me most, and while it is great if not a lot generic for what FF always done in some different aspect of the same story, it’s told with a refreshing structure and pace with nice mystery. Oddly the combat ended up being my high point I cannot get enough of it. And the main story boss bottles? Man holy shite no one can hold this games jock there.

For anyone like me who complained about easy combat, yeah you’re gonna eat those words. My advice is Bahamaut and Garuda are the clear best two icons. Phoenix has solid utility start to end. Titan is viable if you like defensive styles. Ramuh is mediocre and his ultimate is the highest damage singly target it’s not worth 19000ap to upgrade twice and master it. Shiva flat out sucks unless you’re highly skilled which I’m not enough to use her like I’ve seen on YouTube. Odin I just got be he is almost completely separate of a thing and in his own boat
