I do enjoy the game but am i right in saying it has structural similarities to the new Final Fantasy 16?

Structurally in terms of how each area / map works this feels almost identical so far to FF16. You have a hub. You travel to different zones which are mostly linear with some semi-open exploitable areas.

Almost every area has a direct route and then minor paths where you will almost always be rewarded with some treasure / loot.

Combat is also similar. In some ways better (i think you have more build / class variety in Veilguard) but FF16 is much more of a spectacle fighter. SImilar to Veilguard you enter an area with a destination at the end and on the way you will encounter several arenas in which you have some form of combat and maybe a larger sub boss fight at the end.

I'd also say that FF16 is far darker and grittier than the tone of Veilguard.

Again to be clear i enjoy both games. I've played ALOT of FF16 and only just scratched the surface of Veilguard. I really enjoy the game so far. The writing definitely is not as good as it should have been and i dislike the cartoony look of my rook but overall its a good time and looking forward to spending more time. Not asking for an argument here. Just an observation i came away with last night after sinking some time into the game.

As far as combat, do you prefer FF16 or Veilguard? I predicted this combat would be better than FF16 but I'd like to see some opinions who've played both games.
