Fantastic retrospective! It really hits a lot of good points. It's a shame the game could not stick...well much of all. There are caveats in nearly all aspects, but I like how you still appreciate the good that it does do.
7:50 I also thought that having abilities recharge faster by playing well could have been a great way to make combat more mechanically engaging and rewarded skillfull play. The truth is that FF16 is not truly an action. It's basically a tab-targeting game with an action game skin where you go through your ability rotations then wait for cooldowns. That's what it boils down to.
The premise and icon battles look so enticing, but the FF14 team just couldn't help themselves, huh? Too used to making an MMO that wastes countless hours of people's time, they forgot that single player games weren't supposed to do that lol. The highest highs definitely won't be worth its lowest lows for me, especially hearing that the story ultimately disappoints. Great retrospective!
