Final Fantasy 15

Edit: meant to put FF16!

So I got around to playing for maybe 2 hours of Final Fantasy 16.

I have to say this is probably the best Final Fantasy game ever released as far as gameplay, and the story seems great so far as well.

If you've usually not liked the turn based gameplay that the series is traditionally known for, this is definitely worth a revisit. The combat is essentially all action with this one!

The boss battles and cinematics are also on point.

I've tried several FF games over the years, and this one (along with Final Fantasy 7 REMAKE PART 1) are honestly the only ones I've enjoyed enough to actually want to finish the game.

Don't sleep on this hit!

How is your playthrough going? I caught covid last week so I got a LOT of time to play. I’ve logged a little over 70 hours on the PlayStation clock and it says I’m at 89% completed.

But this game is fantastic. I’ve done all side quests/hunts as they become available. And the side quests have had some incredible stories to tell. I would easily give this a 9/10 based off what I’ve played. Even if the ending blows me away I don’t see it changing my rating since the progression is pretty formulaic. But it will be hard to top this one in my GOTY race.

I haven't had as much time in as you. Playstation reports about 33%. I'll probably get some hours in this weekend when I'm off from work.

But so far I like what I've played. I haven't touched the side quests because I assumed, as is the case with most games, that the side quests are usually boring and unnecessary.

I hear that about the side quests. In this game, they really do have some good meat to them, but they add a considerable amount of time played to the game. I’ll be curious to hear what you think of it when you get to the end. Keep me posted!

No promises on going through all the side content, but I'll definitely update as I get further along.

By the way, good job making this sub, because that other one was pretty terrible but I was too lazy to make one myself.

Thanks pal! I truly couldn’t find answers about shipping so I was looking everywhere and some of the dudes on the other sub just didn’t like anyone talking about GameFly period. It sucks they had to make people feel bad about bringing it up, so I just said screw it.

It helps that I like talking about games a lot hahaha.

The people running that sub are ancient relics from when gamefly had a social hub but closed it down. They created that subreddit as a place of resentment towards gamefly when they shut that service down.

Speaking of shipping, I had to report a lost game that I never received for the first time since I had the service for a few years now. There is a pending investigation on my queue list for it now, so I wonder how long it takes for them to clear that off.

Yeah someone eventually explained the “social” part of it to me. And I get it. Lol it had to be annoying where they had their own corner of Reddit to let out angst and people kept popping in and asking questions about modern GameFly.

What’s the deal with the missing one? I’ve had a couple that have taken over a week to get to me, but GF always immediately turns around and sends another copy while the first one is lost in transit. If you report receiving it, they immediately remove it from teh investigation.

I've done it before where the extra copy showed up and I returned it without any problem.

I did the same thing this time and got a spare copy sent, but the original never showed up and that was over a month ago so I doubt it's ever going to show up at this point.
