    Finally, an RPG game with a good plot appeared, because the most important thing about an RPG game is the plot, and everything else is secondary, and the battles in this episode are refreshing and very good~

    This game is amazing. It offers a rare glorious experience. The excitement of fighting is the best thing. The cut scenes are so beautiful that they completely cover up the irrationality.

    The ghrapics are stunning and the story is so well written. I don't know why people are giving it a 0 when it's clearly a 9 at lowest.

    More of a 9/10 for me, but I feel strongly enough that I'd like to counter some of the infantile review-bombing by self-entitled fools.
    This game is fantastic, it's beautiful, emotional, and compelling. Doesn't quite top the 7 Remake, in my mind, but it does everything it sets out to do remarkably well.

    The dark fantasy setting works for the story, and while it is a very different entry into the series, it still manages to feel like a Final Fantasy game, in no small part because of the predictably brilliant music score, and breathtaking environments.
    Characters are interesting and endearing, in the same way as other casts across the series. And despite the grittier nature of the narrative, they still have heart and soul.
    It may not be my personal favourite Final Fantasy game, and it clearly isn't for everyone, but it is still very much a masterpiece, and should be acknowledged as such.    … Expand

Pour moi c'est donc un grand oui. C'est un jeu qui m'en met plein les yeux et que j'adore explorer. Il est important de mentionner que si vous voulez jouer à Final Fantasy 16 soyez prêt à gérer votre manette différemment si vous ne voulez pas spammer seulement deux touches. Pour ce qui est des options de la manettes, je vous conseille d'ailleurs de prendre les paramètres de type B.

    I wouldn't usually post a review but with the review bomb happening I have decided to add my opinion.
    I'm about 15 hours in, so far I think the game has been close to perfect. The setting and world design have been phenomenal, the way the game doesn't shy away from showing the sheer brutality of the people in power, all the little interactions between main and non playable characters.

The setting and world design have been phenomenal, the way the game doesn't shy away from showing the sheer brutality of the people in power, all the little interactions between main and non playable characters. These nuances really drive home the story. Yes, it builds slowly at the start but this allows you to get to know the characters properly before they start throwing new ones and new plot lines at you. Yes, it is linear at the start, but that is because they want to set the story in motion before opening up. The gameplay is so smooth, you can see the devil may cry influence - there is a touch of the souls-bourne fought difficulty too. This leaves fast paced, technically rewarding fights. Yes, they introduce new mechanics slowly, but this gives you time to master the new tools you have been given. I'm loving everything about this game to the moment and expect I will play through more than once, which is a rare thing for me.    … Expand

The dark story, politics, characters, new real-time combat system, breathtaking visuals and locations and the most beautiful music all comes together to create this masterpiece.

    The music is outstanding, the game looks unbelievable and the story keeps you on your toes. Game has the classic FF summons and enemies as well as spells and the game even pays homage to the classics with old-school pixel art and 8-bit arrangements of old themes.

    Truly a love letter to all previous games of the franchise.

    Oh, also, to the people reading this.... the majority of people giving this game a 0/10 are only doing so because it's a Playstation 5 exclusive as of this time. Do a little digging, you'll see that they gave xbox exclusives a 10/10. This game is worth it, don't buy into their frustration.    … Expand

More action, lots of cutscenes, gorgeous backgrounds, and an actually great story. Someone wrote that the game plays like a novel. Yes to an extent and it is very telegraphed in many cases. I like the fact that I don't have to grind for hours on end as the enemies scale based on your level when adventuring to new areas. The only thing that I would state as a somewhat knock for me, was that I really would have liked to have some minigames. Other than that let me grab my popcorn for some great cutscenes and great action. You don't see people knock Hideo Kojima for his non-stop cutscenes. Why should Square-Enix be any different? Great game all around, most entertaining Numbered/Non-online Final Fantasy since FF9… Expand

    Final Fantasy XVI is the most fun I've had with a mainline single-player Final Fantasy game since FFX (not including the awesome FF7R, that is a spinoff imo).

The story is riveting, the graphics amazing, the tight cast of characters are awesome, and the game is just plain fun. As a longtime fan of the FF series, (FFXIII was a letdown and FFXV just felt unfinished and unfulfilling), I'm happy with how FFXVI turned out. If you skeptical of the action combat, give it a chance as it is very accessible, exciting and doesn't feel like a button mashing slog.… Expand

    What a fantastic experience.

    The combat is engaging and fun, while some boss fights can leave my fingers feeling a little sore, I enjoy every moment of the combat sequences of this adventure. Every perfect deflect and dodge leaves me and my roommate going "OOOOH" as I take advantage of the quick turn of battle to lash out against my enemy and punish them. Playing as only Clive in combat    What a fantastic experience.

Every perfect deflect and dodge leaves me and my roommate going "OOOOH" as I take advantage of the quick turn of battle to lash out against my enemy and punish them. Playing as only Clive in combat was a little disappointing at first, but the absolute polish of the combat makes it feel more like a creative decision.

    The story is very compelling, I won't spoil anything but I am constantly throwing a 'fit' every time I have to step away from the game to be an adult. As of right now, the worst part of my day is going to work and cooking dinner. I have set up my stationary bike in front of the TV simply because I want to learn more, experience more, and participate in this epic adventure even more.

    The graphics are great, the particle effects can get a little overwhelming at times. I found that the use of the timely rings made it much worse since it would automatically use skills and clutter the screen at times I may have wanted to actually try to pay attention to the combat. Once I stopped using it, the issue went away. Not only did I have much more control of the battlefield but it felt less chaotic and the skills were much more enjoyable to look at. The maps are large and fairly dense with monsters and loot, and my goodness are they gorgeous. Everything about this game was just gorgeous until the very end.

    The biggest "Hot Topic" I have seen is whether this game deserves to be called a Final Fantasy title, and if it stays true to its roots. I am confused to why this is even a question to be quite honest. I have the platinum trophy for Final Fantasy 7, 10, 12, 13, 15, and crisis core as well as over 2000 hours in Final Fantasy XIV & Tactics. There is nothing that this game does that would make me believe that it isn't a true and honest final fantasy title, its got the lore, the monsters, the characters, the skills and equipment and all of the small things that are littered in a FF title. As well as mapping out a beautiful tale of the human struggle to balance power and magic within a Empire.

    I have nothing truly negative to say. The only disappointment I have is the lack of replay-ability, but with so much content in the game I don't think that is an issue for most gamers. I've yet to go through my second playthrough to get the platinum trophy, but I will inevitably take my second trip to Valisthea soon.

    Hopefully you all enjoy this as much as me    … 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.

    This is a solid RPG/action game. Some elements of the game are unusual and fresh for single-player parts of the Final Fantasy series, but some are too dull and rudimentary.

    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]
