I’ve just finished Final Fantasy XV, and I loved it—definitely one of my all-time favorite games! I haven’t had the chance to dive into XVI yet, as I want to experience it all for myself without spoilers. However, I’ve noticed that the Steam ratings for XVI seem a bit concerning. Are the two games that different, or can anyone share some insights on how they stack up against each other?

It really comes down to your taste! If you’re more into the classic fantasy vibes, you might lean towards XV, which feels a lot like a chill road trip with friends. XVI, on the other hand, brings a more serious, cinematic vibe a la Game of Thrones, but it doesn’t have the same open-world freshness. So, if you enjoyed the camaraderie and exploration of XV, you might find XVI’s linearity a bit of a letdown.
I enjoyed both games, but I’d lean slightly towards XV for its authenticity and fun factor. XVI looked promising but felt a bit rushed towards the end. It really depends on what you prioritize in gameplay—exploration versus story-driven action.
Totally! XV had those fun moments that just stuck with you. It’s the journey with the boys that made it special.
Honestly, I loved XVI and think it’s worth your time. It’s not the traditional Final Fantasy you’re used to, being less focused on turn-based mechanics and more on character action. The story is captivating, and while some people love XV’s open-world feel, others appreciate the narrative depth in XVI. Just keep in mind it’s a different experience altogether!
Right? I enjoyed both, but enjoyed the character-driven story in XVI a bit more.
For me, XV is superior by a hair. The world felt so alive while exploring with friends, even if the story was a bit of a mess. In contrast, XVI had a more polished narrative and compelling characters, but the gameplay felt a bit monotonous for me. Just don’t go in expecting a similar open world or party dynamic—it’s a different beast altogether!
Couldn’t agree more! XV’s exploring and bonding moments can’t be beaten.
Agreed! I felt the same way. XV had that perfect vacation vibe, while XVI felt more like a race to the finish without the same charm.
