We are approaching two weeks after the release of Final Fantasy XVI and the community is coming to certain conclusions about the Square Enix’s new JRPG. There are many hours played and many point out that both the secondary missions and a second section for the work that loses steam are the main weak points.
Between these two peculiarities, the streamer Alexelcapo has been involved, who has communicated through Twitter that he is definitively leaving the production directed by Naoki Yoshida. He has personally explained it this way:
ATTENTION SPOILERS: Alexelcapo’s message contains a spoiler that you may want to avoid.
The problem for Alexelcapo is that the rhythm is cut off abruptly after living an epic moment, since they force Clive to carry out very tedious tasks that take us away from the focus of the action. While he acknowledges that the Ryota Suzuki-designed combat is good, he believes that the MMO structure overly penalizes Final Fantasy XVI.
On the other hand, he believes that director Yoshida is not criticized for the good work done in Final Fantasy XIV, which triggers the criticism to evaporate. Finally, he has compared the launch of this installment with Final Fantasy XIII and the problems that Lightning’s adventure had to ensure that there are many players like him who notice all these failures.
