Final Fantasy 16 is finally available via PS5 and it's one of this year's biggest and best games. So far, the game has sold over three million copies and earned an impressive 88 on Metacritic. These are two great returns for Square Enix. That said, while most playing the latest Final Fantasy game are enjoying it, there have been some that have been very critical of not just aspects of the game, but the game as a complete package. One of the bigger talking points that has divided some fans are the side quests, largely because the gameplay is a step down from the main part of the game. However, one fan has argued that those that are skipping this content are missing some of the best content in the game.
After years of development, Project Awakening is still nowhere to be seen. What exactly is going on?
I was impressed with the trailer and hoped to find out more and then it fell off the map with no new information. Not sure if it's vaporware or not but I stopped thinking about it and moved on. Maybe it was moved to a new and improved engine, moved to PS5 development and suffers the long Dev times that many games had/have suffered from lately. Who knows. But we'll see.
As for gaming bolt, that video was trash. A long winded video that says nothing for 7 minutes going back and forth on it may or may not still exist and just kept going and going and going trying to produce an informative video with barely any information. Like an article with a word quota that's just paragraphs of nothing. Showing me that they haven't gotten any better at game journalism. If we can even call it that.
One of the directors for the game already said that game was still being worked on just last month....

Just how shock-ing is it?
EA has come under fire for making unexpected changes to its FC 24 Team of the Season unlocks.
Stop buying the fucking game! It is no secret that the game is based around opening packs that need to be bought with real money if you want to be competitive. Yes I know, you have the chance to get the cards without investing real money, but that is a real grind and you still may never get the cards you want. This is not new and it will not change if people keep buying the game/packs.
I’m the type of completionist player that would normally take the time to complete all side quests anyway so I’m looking forward to experiencing these stories for myself. The Witcher 3 had some great side quest stories.
Iv said that a few time son here, the act of the doing the actual side quests suck, but the story and world building g behind 90% of them is fantastic.
If your digging the world and story I would defs do them or a good portion of them atleast.
The side quests are such a slog to get through, like I don’t know if it’s the travelling to them (lack of a dedicated sprint button sucks and not being to do it in villages/towns suck harder), having to fight along the way where battle repetition starts to grate on you or if the side quest just sucks in general
The world building and lore is great in them but I’d rather they have halved the side quests to create more complex ones. They had the same issue in the ViI remake where it felt it was quantity over quality.
The game is so weird because it’s like for every pro to the game there’s a straight up con, that leads to a pro…which leads to a con and so on. I’ve never been so conflicted. I suppose the final say for me will rest on the story and how it ends.
Not everyone has the time to do al the side quests, even if they'd like to. Would be handy to know which were the best ones, so people could make sure they catch them on their playthrough.
The back half the side quest are some of if not the best I’ve ever played and experienced
