I might wait for XVI to get a Steam port, since I don't feel like upgrading to PS5 yet.
I'm planning to replay XIII LR on New Game +, to complete the quest for killing all the Omegas, as well as that one quest with the girl calling the telephone booth, which I missed before. I need to save all the souls!

While I'll gladly wait for Final Fantasy XVI, I am actually looking forward to Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. I also have the original off Steam, so I'll probably get around to that before long.
At the moment, I've finished all of the Main Story Quests for the Final Fantasy XIV Free Trial, meaning I'm right before Stormblood. Now I'm levelling Machinist, and preparing to tackle the rest of the content before I have to make room on my computer to play VIII, III, and I. I do have XV, but considering how well my computer runs it, I might just get it for Playstation or something. I also need to get around to getting the rest of the XIII trilogy. |

13 and 15 were both such disappointments to me that I don't have much faith in the brand anymore moving forward.
That said, I started the FF5 OVA, and that's pretty cool

My problem with the franchise in its current state is how Square Enix keep making all these spin-offs and remakes for "nostalgia appeal", instead of just focusing on the main installments. I feel like XVI could've been released years ago if not for all that filler content.

With a PS Mini , PS 2 and PS 3 I can play up to Final Fantasy XIII. I myself may go Steam for Final Fantasy XV and XVI due to how expensive the PS4 and 5 are.
That on the table I'm hoping to finish up to FF XIII plus Lightning Returns. FF XII Update I'm about to face a 36,000 HP Esper boss fight in a shrine just after the booby trapped mountain pass once I clear a few trials. I'm going to level everybody up to 43 or better before I try it so I'll do this in Golimore Jungle.

I do agree about wanting more original content, especially considering how good XVI looks, to me at least. However, I don't have a problem with how they're handling some of those things, since compared to some other "nostalgai bait," I do think, while probably nowhere near the level of their predecessors, they are done rather well.

Quality is mostly subjective in this case. Personally, I came in to the franchise through the XIII trilogy, which I enjoyed a lot. And while it's too early to judge XVI yet, it does look pretty intriguing to me, from what we've seen of it so far.
I'd argue that a fraction of any decrease in quality of new installments might even be a side effect of resources (people, assets, time, etc.) being put in to nostalgia. I don't think nostalgia is inherently bad, as a harmless remaster like VIII got in 2019 was an already finished game. I think for nostalgia, they should go small and simple, not big and extravagant.

I've been playing Final Fantasy since I had a Play Station 1.
In the case of Play Station 2 , 3 and 4 I bought Final Fantasy frst. I own PS 4 Final Fantasy XV but may play that on PC VIA Steam. Games completed Final Fantasy I (PS1) Final Fantasy II (PS1) Final Fantasy VI (PS1) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (SNES) Finished Final Fantasy VIII proper but couldn't beat the Sorceress boss at the end. Final castle for Final Fantasy V. As for the main series I was able to resume FF I - XIII on PS1 Mini , PS 2 and PS3 so hopefully I can finish Final Fantasy V. Size Stats On Final Fantasy XV Windows PC - 155 GB with 4,000 resolution top end Xbox 1 - 51 Gigs full game PS4 - 50 GB Full install. Just in case you guys plan to play the 15th chapter better have an open hard drive for this one. My thoughts on remake games Tomb Raider Legend Trilogy is fine in this one case because it gave PS2 players a chance to finish the Trilogy. Tomb Raider IX Underworld got a backwards system release. I wish this had happened with Final Fantasy XV. This happens with a lot of games unfortunately. You can't remake a game on a previous system. You still get the full game as is. You would have to start over from zero for it to work.
