All FF games have had one thing in common, they were all aimed at teenagers. ff16 went against this.

I actually appreciate the M-rating of FFXVI. It's a big risk, doing that. Cuts down on advertising opportunities, and they managed (imo) the most interesting single-player setting in the series. Though, I think the reason I like the setting so much is because 90% of it is literally taken from Chains of Promathia.
What I think really holds the story back is it's handling of characters. Everyone who is good in the story is "good" in the same way, if that makes sense. To compare FFXVI's characters to Chains of Promathia, there is just WAY more depth in CoP. Selh'teus is good, but he's also triggering a genocide by Emptiness in the Outlands. This is why we help him sometimes but we (Prishe) stop him other times. Bahamut is bad because he plans on killing everyone, but we learn he's actually the biggest homie of FFXI in the epilogue.
Why is everyone who supports Clive's views on Bearers also supportive of the whole "destroying Mothercrystals" thing? If this was a FFXI storyline, Cid/Clive would have triggered a civil war in the hideout when he went public with his plans of destroying mothercrystals. Almost every ally in FFXVI's story is cartoonishly good, and many enemies are cartoonishly evil.
