Still playing Final Fantasy XVI. The story and characters are fantastic. Now that I've put some time into it, the combat feels pretty great. Excited to see where it goes. I feel like I'm still in the first quarter of the game.
This is also what I'm playing. I'm just over halfway and I am still enjoying it, but feeling a bit let down overall. I got sucked into the hype, for once, so that's my fault. I wasn't prepared for the game to be so linear.
This sums up my feelings as well. Enjoying it but let down from expectations set by the demo.
3 of the last 4 mainline single player Final Fantasy games have been extremely linear, including XV (once the plot actually starts it just railroads you to the end). So I didn't really have expectations otherwise.
I think it's been paced pretty well so far, and the areas dont feel like literal corridors. Basically it feels lived-in. There are also enough interactions and occasional backtracking to keep me happy.
But my favorite game of the franchise is X, which just has you following a path for most of it with some towns to break it up.
