I genuinely think a lot of the criticism around FF16 became exaggerated after launch.

People act like it’s a terrible Final Fantasy just because it focused more on action combat, but the game gave us:

one of the best OSTs in the series

insane boss fights

an actually mature story

arguably the best voice acting in FF history

Is it perfect? No.

But sometimes it feels like people judge FF16 more harshly just because it tried something different.

Curious if opinions have changed over time or if people still feel the same.

As soon as I finished it, it made me make a bunch of saves, explained how NG+ works, and took me back to the Hideout. And here's the problem. Instead of just giving me the side quests, it also gave me a main story quest, "Reach the Origin," as if I'd never done it. And that's the part where you play Ultima. Is this normal? What should I do now? Do the side quests or start the NG+?
