It not, not in anyway just the truth.

I especially laughed loud at better story and better combat parts.

Say what you will but this is up there with the top 3 worse ever FF games along with VI and X.

This doesn't make any sense.

There are a dozen things wrong with this list.

[Moon Rabbit]

To be fair, it's definitely a better RPG than Final Fantasy XVI. I enjoyed XVI more but oddly enough SIP is kind of better at most things, mechanically. Story wise and character wise it's not even close to XVI in terms of quality. XVI doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy game a lot of the time, and it's caught between two genres. It's not as good an action game as the games that inspired it, and it's not as good an RPG. But it's fun and the story keeps you hooked even with pacing issues. The Eikon boss fights really are the centerpiece of the game and are really cool.

Pretty much a glorious visual novel with a boss fights.
Everything else feels superficial.

Definitely an overhyped game.

Pretty sure he's talking about FF16 (Not SoP) as he refers to it as a "visual novel" with boss fights.

Didn't play FF16 yet, but i would like to say something about FF franchise as a whole

I love how each FF game is self contained and mosty unrelated to others but always have the same themes going on.
My fav aspect are the summons. In FF XV i would always let my party down just to have that amazing summon theme kicking in (when the asteroid finally arrives, i wan to be listening Nox Divina)

But a thing that keeps me from playing older games is how the narrative takes so much precedence over gameplay to a detrimental point
I mean, its not cool when you build your party and then the game says : "Hey, i know you took time leveling and gearing up your party, but now you cant use them cause the story said so. Take those underleveled/geared characters you dont care and have fun for the next 4 hours"

I dont know if 16 is like that, but i played 9 and 7RE, and the constant back and fort of characters was annoying as hell

So, i'm really glad that SoP is all about gameplay, having one protag and just the neccessary amount of cutscenes and other non-intrusive narrative devices


But, how is FF16 in that regard ?

[Katitoff]

Last point alone makes it better than 16.
Coop is a cherry on top.

i only have one playable character?
world design is click here on a map, run down hallway
FF games usually have a long story of a journey with characters you learn more about through the game. this had 5 people with amnesia talking about chaos and crystals and they abruptly ended the game so they slapped an ending to try and make everything make sense.

The party members are customizable and modestly competent in combat. Not Dragon's Dogma levels, but still far better than in average RPG. But they are fully playable in co-op only.

The OP's list is a bit flawed but the thread has still aged pretty nicely. For hardcore fans of the franchise, 16 must be one of the worst main series titles and entirely skippable because it lacks so many of the core features of the franchise. But for any gamer new to the franchise, it's an adequate entry point. Stranger of Paradise is still better though since it does much better job at bridging the gap between old and new games, besides all the other actual perks and features like co-op, party system, job system and recurring themes.

You can assume visual look of any of the companions you choose.
Post main story you have 2 more options on top of that.

It is quite the sight seeing Sophia brutalize bosses.
