Fellow Tumblrinas have probably seen me grinding through Final Fantasy 16 the past few weeks and, I gotta say: I did not much like it overall!

Which bums me out a bit, since it seems to have struck a chord with a bunch of friends, who adored it and are having a grand old time with it. I wish I could join in on the hype, but alas, this was very aggressively Not The Final Fantasy For Me.

I'm at the point right before you confront Ultima for the final time, and I have done all the sidequests, but I dunno if I'm gonna actually swing at the final boss (I kinda Need To Be Done With This Game, and making all those sidequest markers go away might be just the thing I needed, much like how I simply Could Not Stop Playing Stardew Valley until I completed the community center), so, I may as well capture my thoughts now while they're fresh.

Starting with the good (there was a lot of good!):

the good )

Anyway, now for Hater Hours:

annoyed at the plot )

hating on other stuff too )

in conclusion this game was fun enough for my current brain-state (needed something repetitive/distracting) but idk if i'd do it again hahaha
