    El mejor juego de acción y aventura del 2023 por parte de SQUARE ENIX con árbol de habilidades, buena narrativa y estilo de personajes.

    I've played over 20 hours of this game and this is honestly the best game I've ever played. I have played every final fantasy, elden ring, and this is the perfect blend of the two. Sorry for all the fans upset its a ps5 exclusive but this is normal for me as we used to have to get a Playstation in the past and I'm sure it will be awesome on pc, as was final fantasy 15.

    Final Fantasy is series that needs no introduction, it's been running strong for 35 years now. My introduction to the series was with the original game on NES back in 1988 I rented it from    THE NEW GOLD STANDARD FOR FINAL FANTASY GOING FORWARD. Now the review will broken into sections with an intro, visuals/performance, audio, gameplay, story and finally my closing statement. INTRODUCTION:
    Final Fantasy is series that needs no introduction, it's been running strong for 35 years now. My introduction to the series was with the original game on NES back in 1988 I rented it from my local video store in Miami and was instantly hooked I was into D&D, Zelda, Lord of the Rings, Thundercats and He-man. Years latter I borrowed Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and me and a friend played the hell out of it during summer and beat it then When School started that same friend borrowed Final Fantasy 2(4) and after completing that I rented 3(6) and kept going. The one thing consistent with every entry was innovation and change. Try he first game was literally a homebrew D&D campaign, 2 has a story a little too similar to star wars with a unique progression 3, had Jobs and Summons, then 4 came and Changed the series forever with deeper story more focused character development and the Active Time Battle system witch took the series from the traditional turn based combat similar to TTRPGs that influenced the series to a more engaging battle system and the series continued to evolve it's system and story telling . And that brings us to Final Fantasy 16. The naysayers will say that this is not a Final Fantasy because it's combat and their wrong and we'll go over that more in this review.
    VISUALS/PERFORMANCE:
    Let's get one thing straight I'm not a tech expert or someone who recognizes small frame dips, if it's a significant dip sure or obvious pop in I can call it out, but these are not things I experience in my playthrough. Square-Enix nails it and I don't think anyone will argue that SE are masters in CG and graphical presentation. The level of detail is incredibly the lighting the way the grass moves the particles effects and subtle hair strains life like movement. The game is a visual feast for the eyes CBU3 worked some incredible magic and this game truly feels next gen the work and love to that went into creating this world is plain to see and I dare say perfection.
    AUDIO:
    The music is just epic new tracks and remixes of older tracks from the long history of excellent music clearly a love letter to FF's musical history. The voice acting, Yoshi-P was right to use a British cast the dialogue was coherent did I feel that any of the voicework felt out of place. The sound department does not disappoint more on that with gameplay.
    GAMEPLAY: The exploration is satisfying, the combat wich was designed by the guy who did DMC5 created a very engaging system especially once you start unlocking more eikonic abilities and mastering them you can mix and match despite your eikon set up (3 at a time) to match your play style or what a situation calls for. With the excellent audio every slash, stab and smash feels so gratifying especially with the dual sense controller, later on Torgal aka Goodest boy ever gets some new bells and whistles that will have long time fans minds blown. STORY:
    This is gonna sound like I'm signing a check I can't cash but this is the best storytelling in a Final Fantasy since Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX/PSP) from the tragic opening moments the game pulls you in. Never have I cared so much for supporting characters in game as this they have all been well written especially Cidoulfus this games Cid who is a small not to Orlandu of FFT fame. Clove is also one of if not the best protagonist written, going through three different points in his life was a great way to show how the character grows from humble noble to a man fixated on revenge to well I'm not going to spoil the story beats any further. Even some of the side quest had me carrying about village inhabitants and even goblins.
    CLOSING REMARKS:
    I have been a fan of the series since the 80s and every game was different from the last ill admit some did sit all to well with me but the fact that every title is something new and they are willing to take risks is why the series has been around for the last 35 years it release clicked with some player out there in some way and 16 is no different. I have no bad thing to say about nor am I wishing it had some other feature, I'm reviewing the game for what it is and I'm all for it I'm so glad Yoshi-P and stuck to their vision and they have shown just how talented they are. Thank you Yoshi-P and CBU3, you have truly created something special and look forward to future single player projects from you in the future.    … Expand

Surely I know this is something far away from the Final Fantasy I have been used to. And surely I really could not care less. I could stay here talking about how it’s not like its predecessor, that it lacks this this and this… but really, is it supposed to be like that? I’d rather look at the great work the developers have done. At how passionately they must have worked to try to make this game. At how they’ve tried to channel emotions through it, and not disrespected the game saga and its fans (many would probably disagree with this last statement, but do try to read between the lines).

    A game is meant to be felt, and I am feeling this game. The story it’s trying to tell me, the beautifully looking world and satisfying gameplay (that, yes, couldn’t be further away from what a Final Fantasy gameplay used to look like), the wonderfully orchestrated music, that I could listen to a hundred of times and STILL not get sick of it, still making me feel goosebumps all over my body.

    Does it deserve the perfect vote? Probably not, although in my heart yes, it does. Does it even deserve hate? No, it doesn’t. 9/10 is my vote, but just like the people who hated on it did, I’m gonna bump it up a lil, just because I’m feeling like it. That’s what anyone does anyways, right?    … Expand

    Siempre he sido fan de los turnos, que han ido evolucionando y cambiando a lo largo de la saga, pero si no te disgusta dar una vuelta de tuerca mas al remake del VII y pasar a la accion el juego te va a gustar.

    Amazing story and fun combat. The demo had me at the edge of my seat towards the end and I could not wait to pick up. Combat seemed limited in the demo but I’m glad there are more variations and combos you can perform in the real game. Targeting system could be better though.

Though slightly lacking in some rpg elements. The fighting, though easy enough is a lot of fun and the challenge really come from making the fights look great with ever evolving combos and moves and skill. The fighting never really got boring for me and that is testament to a well thought out structure.

    Rating: ★★★★☆ (10/10)

    Review:
    Calling all adventurers with a penchant for laughter! Final Fantasy's latest game takes a comedic twist that will have you rolling on the floor with laughter while saving the world from impending doom. It's a delightful departure from the series' usual serious tone and delivers a side-splitting experience like no other.
    Prepare to meet a cast of characters who are as quirky as they come. From the bumbling hero with a knack for getting into absurd situations to the sassy sidekick with a razor-sharp wit, the game's ensemble guarantees endless moments of hilarity. Their banter and comedic timing will leave you in stitches, and you'll find yourself eagerly anticipating the next witty one-liner or slapstick mishap.
    The game's visuals are not just visually stunning, but they also serve as a canvas for comedic genius. Be prepared for exaggerated facial expressions, comical animations, and unexpected surprises at every turn. It's like watching a hilarious cartoon come to life, and you'll find yourself pausing just to appreciate the sheer absurdity of it all.
    The gameplay itself embraces the spirit of comedy, introducing whimsical mechanics and offbeat challenges. You'll encounter absurd puzzles that require creative thinking, engage in outrageous minigames that defy logic, and witness battles that blend strategic elements with sheer absurdity. It's a refreshing departure from the norm, keeping you entertained and amused throughout your quest.
    Even the side quests and optional content carry the game's comedic torch. From helping a hapless NPC find their misplaced belongings to participating in wild and wacky competitions, there's never a dull moment in this zany adventure. It's an absolute delight to explore the game's world and discover the hilarious surprises hidden around every corner.
    The humor extends beyond the gameplay itself to the game's dialogue and writing. The cleverly crafted jokes, witty puns, and self-aware humor hit the mark more often than not, earning genuine laughs and chuckles. Final Fantasy's comedic timing is spot on, creating a lighthearted atmosphere that's a breath of fresh air.
    While the game's comedy takes center stage, it's worth noting that it doesn't compromise on other aspects. The visuals are still breathtaking, the music is catchy and enjoyable, and the storytelling, although lighthearted, manages to weave an engaging narrative.
    Final Fantasy's foray into comedy is a welcome and hilarious addition to the franchise. It may not be the usual serious and dramatic affair, but it's a genuinely funny experience that reminds us that games can be a source of pure joy and laughter. So gather your funny bones, put on your laughing hat, and prepare for a fantastically funny adventure that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

    Buy this great game!    … Expand

Soken sann and the rest of the music team have done a fantastic job creating so many great BGMs. Either it's the soothing BGM echoing in the hideout hall, or it's the thrilling boss fight music, every piece has been produced with the highest standard. Battle system is another highlight of the game. It's fast, and various. Swapping among Ekion's abilities is at ease. Various bosses use so many different mechanics trying to take down Clive. It's also so cute to use Torgal (Clive's pet) as Clive's co-healer. The cinematic performance is also great. Wirth the power of PS5, characters could show their subtle expressions, and voice actor/actress also have done an amazing job depicting the emotions of various characters. There are quite many side quests which FF14 players are not unfamiliar with. The compendium shows ins and outs of the world of the game. Overall speaking, FF16 is an action RPG which boasts a great story, great music, fantastic battle system, and great acting performance. I'm a huge FF fan, and I understand that every FF mainline game is unique, luckily, besides the traditional RPG, I'm also an action game fan (especially DMC series). I highly recommend every FF fan to try FF16. There is no game which is completely perfect, but those things (mentioned above) 16 delivers are all top-notch.… Expand

    Final Fantasy XVI is an excellent game in every way. If you're a fan of the series for the stories and characters, you won't go wrong here, and if you've avoided the series for, say, turn-based combat, the sixteenth installment offers the perfect opportunity to get started with this legend of the gaming industry.

    New numbered FFs are good again. Stunning to look at, with new, punchy combat, and a great yarn, it is, if anything, too focussed, lacking a bit of the weird. [Issue#30, p.78]
