could be DLC imoNot sure if its ok to post in open, but will use tags, but we know by now that Leviathan is not in the game, however there are signs of a mother crystal that you never visit judding out of the sea, which is no doubt where it would have been. Looks like it might have been cut for time.

"The only Fantasy here is yours and I shall be it's Final witness
I could be wrong but I think this is the first time in series history the name has been referenced like that, good stuff
I'm pretty sure that was a made up meme, I certainly don't remember it in XIII.

Talk to Vivianne, look at the Map, you can see that this was the location of Drake's Eye. The Crystal was destroyed before the start of the game (When Previous Phoenix and Previous Shiva were around), it's also where Jill is from.
Except that Fatal Bullet per it's story takes place inside a MMO world so the bad sidequests make sense. In FFXVI's case it suffers from having too much FFXIV in it's DNA and suffers a little because of it.
I wouldn't go that far (all but one and the hunt board), but yeah some are bad.For anyone new visiting the thread and just purchasing the game, do yourself a favor, if you want this to be a 9/10 experience the only sidequests you should play are around the first time you enter Sanbreque(where you meet the Dame) and the Hunt board. I'm near the end of the game and every other sidequest has reminded me of this game's sidequests:
I know what you're thinking... 'Why compare these two games?' It's because SAO: Fatal Bullet had pretty cool gameplay and a pretty decent main story, but it was bogged down by slice of life-style sidequests and moments where characters would just talk and talk and talk...about nothing really important. It was the first game that came to mind for me, the more I played FF16's sidequests. I found myself sitting here wondering why they took 5-10 minutes to explain a guy needing an apple or explain how another guy needed some black sand. Don't let that happen to you when playing this game.
I think the main storyline in FF16 is incredible and should be experienced nearly without interruption. You'll have a more streamlined experience and a much better time, including potentially more difficult boss fights since you're not over leveling yourself.
I guess that can be sort of an excuse for Fatal Bullet. However, I don't know of any MMO with sidequests that constantly ends or begins with discussing the relationship and romance aspects of it's main characters to the point where it's nauseating. I stopped caring about Kirito and his harem of women a few hours into the game, and they managed to stretch out that awkwardness for the entire experience.
That sadly is Sword Art Online in a nutshell. Kirito holds it back with that nonsense.
And it's a shame because there was cool stuff in that game. The gameplay was interesting, the world and setting were interesting, the lore was...alright enough, and the main story motivation wasn't half bad. It's a good B game(that I took a chance on based on a recommendation here) and it can feel like a C or D level title due to those meaningless stretched out relationship and romance moments.
This is an 'issue' not with FFXVI in particular but with most RPGs ,even the ones i enjoy most i always end up thinking "this game would have been better if they cut 10 to 20 hours"

FF16's problem is that the XIV writers they pulled from XIV suck. Not sure what happened to their output after Shadowbringers. Endwalker and FFXVI kinda have the same problem with pacing issues(more prominent in Endwalker) and high highs and low lows.
Yeah, I think the last time skip all around is bad /not necessary.
yeah I've been wondering what that is. Looks like where redfall takes place lolNot sure if its ok to post in open, but will use tags, but we know by now that Leviathan is not in the game, however there are signs of a mother crystal that you never visit judding out of the sea, which is no doubt where it would have been.

I can't verify if this statement is true simply because I haven't played every FF game(including spin-offs). However I feel that from what I have played, Zidane and Garnet or Locke and Celes were better told romances. Regardless, the bar for FF16 to hurdle over is very low to the floor.

, I like to ask this question to any person defending a game constantly on this forum: Can you name 5 things you don't like about FF16?yeah I've been wondering what that is. Looks like where redfall takes place lol
Aside from gorgeous view that is!
Beat the game last night, to include all the side quest and hunts. Story died off after Bahamut for me. The game peaked during the fight with Titan. Voice acting and graphics are spotty at times. In some environments, the graphics look current gen. However, there are quite a few area's where they could have spent a bit more time on.
And games like RDR 2, Witcher 3 and 90% of Bethesda games don’t have “huge” flaws? And yet you don’t have no problem with people calling those games 10/10 “masterpiece”.
The game is sitting at 88 on metacritic. Curious on what you think this should average out at? It's a pretty fair score IMO. The game does have it's flaws:

On a side note
I'm not doing this as a gotcha, it's more of a way for me to gain perspective on your viewpoints. Elden Ring was my GoTY last year but I could at least name 5 flaws. I feel like to be a big fan of anything, it also means recognizing the flaws in the works that you enjoy. If someone doesn't recognize any flaws, that means you're purposefully blinding yourself to them because all artistic pieces contains flaws, no matter how minor. That way you don't find yourself defending even the weakest aspects of a work of art.
100% of games are, there are no game without flaw, heck even Tears of Kingdom and Elden Ring even my personal favourite Sekiro has flaws but that doesnt stop me from enjoying those games.
Nope, most definitly not. 15 was seriously panned as being 100% terrible.

Yeah, I also really love the romance with Jill and Clive and even between Dion and his lover was good as well.
i wish that we had some kind of option that let we choose what time of the day we wanna play the maps, imagine the desert one at night with a full moon light.
I get the urge to skip cutscenes & cinematics often to jump back in the action and I hate that about myself.
This also happened in Mass Effect. I just take a break and come back to it later
