Square Enix has confirmed that physical copies of Final Fantasy 16 have leaked into the wild and that it is investigating "illegitimate acquisitions" and is "acting to limit" the damage they may cause ahead of the game's June 22 release date. So, my friends, be careful out there as there may be spoilers on their way.

    The worse for spoilers is YouTube. I don’t even mean watching the video. YouTube decides to recommend some video with spoilers in the thumbnail and title

      Right? One time I was playing TOTK and accidentally skipped a cutscene, so later on I decided to look for it on Youtube and the algorithm drcided to show me a big spoiler of something completely unrelated

    Do we have rules here to mark spoiler of games? How will it be on release? I would like to talk about the game but doesn’t like to be spoiled

      Well, there is a spoiler tag, people should know to use it for new games and such, but I think I will make it into a proper rule, thanks for the tip.

      Edit: nevermind, it’s a NSFW, not a spoiler tag.

    That’s sad and spoilers suck. On another note I wish FF16 wasn’t only on playstation because I’m on pc.

      With the way things have been going with PS exclusives give it a few years and it’ll be on PC

      Except for fucking Bloodborne that is though

    Hopefully this will result in some early user reviews.

    I’m really hyped up for it thanks to the amazing demo but I’m also skeptical because Final Fantasy really went from one of the best RPGs to utter crap, with XV hitting unexpected lows.

    The FFXV demo was also amazing but then they decided to do a lot of changes and I’m worried it will happen again.

    User reviews are my only hope to make at least somewhat educated decision here.

      To be fair FFXV was in development hell. It went through many many iterations and was almost cancelled because the project never materialized. They tried salvaging it in updates and I think changed the final chapter twice.

      I have a lot of hope that FF16 will be better. The demos and previews have been pretty consistently good, it’s made by the same people who worked on FF14 and seems like management is way better this time.
