I'm looking forward to Stellar Blade next week and I think I'm like ~80% done with FF7 Rebirth so I should be finished by then. I still need to finish Dragon's Dogma 2 and try the FF16 DLC that just recently came out as well... I wish there were more hours in the day.
Other than that the main thing I'm looking forward to is the "totally not E3" announcement shows this summer to see what's coming out later this year.
Is FF16 worth it? Story-wise it didn’t seem like they learned their lesson (just going by the pre-release summary) so I checked out eaaaarly.
I saw a friend play it and it looked like a very generic medieval RPG. He said the latter half was bad iirc
I really enjoyed it. The best parts of the game are the characters and the spectacle of fighting the different eikons (summons). It's not really much of an RPG though, more like an action adventure game. The combat is alright albeit pretty button-mashy (but I'm an old cranky boomer who prefers turn-based FF games so ymmv).
As for the story, I know it's kinda polarizing among fans but I thought it was pretty good. It was more coherent than 15, at least. IMO the main draw is the eikon fights, some of which actually made my jaw drop. It feels like they took inspiration from games like Asura's Wrath, if you've ever played that.
