I hated FF16. Slow paced, fetch quest bonanza (for the side quests) - with really ... "Strained" voice acting.
I abandoned it, and don't see myself finishing it. I feel as though it is the worst FF game in a while, it just genuinely puts me to sleep.
That sucks that you don't like it. I've enjoyed it but I do think a lot of the side quests are just filler. Like the one where you bring food to other people in the colony. I've thought about skipping a lot of the side content, but then I would have missed getting a chocobo mount.
