Comment on Final Fantasy XVI PC Version In 'Final Stages Of Optimization,' Expect A Demo Before Release
Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months agoIf it’s three minutes for a boss, I think that’s reasonable. Do you have any examples you can show me? From what I’ve seen, the fights are pretty quick in this game.

The first Eikon fight (probably what you could describe as the end of the tutorial) took me almost 20 minutes to finish.
I was barely hit by her, I didn’t have to redo it, it just took fucking ages.
And yes, I was using my special abilities and not just spamming square. My wife was watching me play out of slexcitement and halfway through she literally said “oh my God why is her health bar that big this is so boring”

I had this same thing happen with kingdom hearts 3. Even on hard. So god damn boring.

Souls games are a whole different beast from this type of game. It doesn’t really prepare you for managing cooldowns and doing complex attack strings. They train you to be careful and win without taking big risks, which sounds like the strategy you executed. From what I can tell over half of that fight is cutscenes, which isn’t ideal.
I will agree with you that the gameplay seems boring though. They could have done more. I’m told that it gets better when you unlock more moves and mechanics.
