ah yeah i can see that. for me personally i just go with whatever i personally enjoy the most. critically totk more than likely gonna get the actual award. but for me personally there’s something that hits so much for me about ffxvi that i’d personally rank it over. im still early days so my opinion might change as i get later into it, but so far even the story is just hitting so hard for me. when clive tells cid, i don’t have to like killing, and cid replies no, i guess you don’t. that just hits me right in the gut in this totally unexplainable way

I would be shocked if Tears of the Kingdom doesn't get it. Final Fantasy diehards are going in and beating the campaigning drum though

There are more emotional moments you got coming

My hot take though is that Bahamut and Titan abilities are just okay so I can't bring myself to invest in them

i’m unbelievably stoked, this game is everything i wanted even down to the character action game combat

i still only have garuda ::((

I love Ramuh and Phoenix. Garuda is solid for some stuff. Still only so far invested. Would love to New Game plus just for the high of mastering everything . I may go all in phoenix and Ramuh. Sometimes I think about resetting it all but I like having some invested in each

bruh do the chronolith trials, you can only use that one eikon and bahamuts made me really enjoy his set

The flamethrower like s*** kind of goes but I don't get the same crunch of hits. Like their hit impact is less rewarding or enemies can run through it . Hard to describe but I shall try

the one that shoots out the orbs is great at breaking down the stagger bar, it became my fav ability

oh yeah definitely useful just doesn't feel crunchy lol . They useful as hell don't get wrong just hits different vs combo feels

ahhh i got you, like a more utility type of feel

f*** the AP grind

What is your favorite like 2000 level skill. I got 3059 right now but keep going back and forth between them all

AP grind is bonkers that is why I just let it stack because no part of me wants to respec from the beginning even if I do lean to phoenix and ramuh more than others

is there any pathway you fully upgraded and mastered?

either diamond dust or gigaflare for the damage output

nah, i did phoenix for the trophy but respeced

Just did Phoenix for the trophy going to trial how these all are mastered then respec a few times til I find whats for me and go into training too

Yeah, these last side quests are stupid good man. The Jill, Dion/Harpocrates, and Torgal/Clive ones

can you do side quest once you complete the game or its over over ?

bruh when you find a set you like and pull off a combo, s*** just feels right

Dion killing Anabella's s\*\*\*ty kid

From what I read, nothing is missable, so you can just load your save before the final battle (or something to that effect) and go back to do everything. Not sure how the side quests will be if you haven't done the earlier ones though.

yeah you can, jill and joshuas side quest add them to your party until you start the last mission

i wonder what else he was killing
