Is Final Fantasy 16 Or Final Fantasy 15 Better?

In the beginning of Final Fantasy 16, you play as the Phoenix and fight Ifrit. Besides this scene, you usually have control over the main character, Clive.

Clive is not alone, though. He goes with Torgal, a wolf, and meets other people along the way.

You can tell Torgal what to do in fight. He will then attack your enemies and heal you. To do this, you have to control both Clive and Torgal at the same time.

When worn, the Ring of Timely Assistance tells Torgal what to do automatically. However, it takes up a valuable accessory spot and may only be worth it early in the game. In FF15, Umbra, a magical dog, helps Lunafreya and Noctis talk to each other. In FF16, however, a dog joins your party.

Final Fantasy 15: Party System

In FF16, you can only handle one main character. In FF15, however, you can switch between characters in your party. The main character of FF15 is Prince Noctis, and his friends Gladiolus, Ignis, and Prompto are with him.

Every member of the party has a different role in battle and can use both a main arm and a backup arm. Gladio, the king’s shield, fights with greatswords and shields. Iggy, the group’s caretaker, uses blades and polearms, and Prompto, the photographer, uses handguns and shotguns.

With the DLC Episodes, you can learn more about the characters’ pasts. But even just in the main story, the balanced party system and “bromance” between the players liven up the road trip.

Final Fantasy 16: Cutscenes

Is FF16 a movie or a video game? The story slowly gets better as the story scenes come one after the other. In fact, there are cutscenes for about 11 hours.

There are also Cinematic Strikes and Evasions in the game. During important parts of a battle, you have to follow the on-screen directions and press the right buttons to attack or dodge at the right time.

Even though FF15 is beautiful on its own, it can’t compare to FF16’s complex cutscenes because it has less of them.

Final Fantasy 15: Driving Mechanic

In some ways, FF15 is a simulation of a car trip. Most of the game is spent getting around in your car, which is called the Regalia.

On the way, you can stop at places like the Crow’s Nest Diner and other gas stations to fill up the Regalia. You can also listen to songs from different games in the Final Fantasy series on the radio.

Talking to Cindy at the Hammerhead shop will let you change your car to Type D, which will let you drive it off-road. Type F is the best kind of Regalia. It is a flying car that lets you fly over Eos.

Final Fantasy 16: Combat

In both games, things happen at the same time. In FF15, you can choose to use the active x battle system or the Wait Mode. In FF16, the action-based battle system has been improved.

The gameplay isn’t as good as in some other action games, like God of War, but FF16 improved its fighting system and added cinematic flair.

Clive has better skills than the other members of the party in FF15. You start with Phoenix Shift, but as the game goes on, you can unlock more skills in the Eikon menu and do impressive attack combos.

Final Fantasy 15: Side Content

If you like RPGs that are more like the old ones, you might like FF15 better. Aside from making, FF16 doesn’t have many of the things that make RPGs what they are.

In FF15, on the other hand, there are many side tasks and fun things to do, like cooking and fishing. You can even go off the main path of the game and take part in Chocobo Races.

Still, some of the hunts and side quests can get boring if you do them too often. Still, the side material in FF15 is better and has more of it than the extra stuff in FF16.

Final Fantasy 16: Narrative

FF16 is the first game in the series to be rated M for Mature. This is a change for the series, which has always put out books in North America that are rated T for Teen.

Clive sets out on a very personal journey to get revenge for the death of his brother. He embraces darkness and watches power struggles between countries. Overall, FF16 has a complicated story from beginning to end.

The story in FF15, on the other hand, was a disaster. The game started as a project that included movies, anime shows, mobile games, and downloadable content.

So, if you wanted to get the most out of the story, you had to watch more media than just the main game. To FF15’s credit, the major story is about friendship and making sacrifices for each other.

Final Fantasy 15: Open World

The exploring part of Slope Game is great. You can spend hours driving or walking around the huge open world.

There are a few spots you’ll want to go back to. For example, you can ride a gondola in Altissia’s city, which has a canal system like Venice’s, and bet on monsters in the coliseum, which looks like it came from Rome.

If you want a challenge, go to Longwythe and try to find the Adamantoise superboss. No matter what you have to do, you are free to go where the road takes you.

In FF16, there isn’t as much to do between events because there aren’t as many interesting temporary places to discover in the semi-open world. But at least Square Enix didn’t have to work on FF16 for ten years like they did with FF15.

Final Fantasy 16: Winner

FF16 is a groundbreaking game that takes dramatic story telling to a new level. FF16 looks good and makes you feel things.

The story doesn’t shy away from morally gray situations and has themes of sadness and getting even.

At the same time, both Final Fantasy 15 and 16 have original linear stories with immersive action fighting, and both have plot holes that are hard to miss. FF15 stays true to the RPG genre and has an open world, but FF16 doesn’t. FF15 is also easier to play and has a few more speed bumps.
