There is some who you will want to punch in the face yourself or want to hug them just to comforted them. The combat is some of the most refreshing I have played in a long time and you can do so much with it even up or down how hard the game is on the fly (thank you for that SQ) I am so happy with this that I can't wait to get to new game plus but so not going to rush this I want to savor this for as long as possible. Yoshi P needs to teach the rest of the gaming companies how to run a game for the players because this is it just like FFXIV is it for the MMO side.… Expand

    best game of the year, probably the best FF story other than FFX
    gameplay is also really good and feels very satisfying to do big combos and big numbers. progressions also feels very nice unlocking all the cool eikons one by one and thus getting to use all of them.
    the only complaint being that the combat is slightly too easy (I-frames too long and bosses don't even come close to    best game of the year, probably the best FF story other than FFX

    A masterpiece of action, Final Fantasy XVI manages to combine combat only Capcom could make so far with great storytelling, compelling characters brought to life by incredible acting, and amazing setpieces with Square Enix's legendary cinematic quality.

    First of, this game is like a 9 to me but since some people give ridiculous low scores just because they dont like the direction the franchise has taken ignoring completely that its actually a quality product i feel theres a need to balance things out.

    Technically, both graphics and sound are top tier and the art-style really matchs with the vibe the story and world of the game, more on the darker side for sure.

    Combat is super fun and engaging, is not a hard game by any means but you still enjoy very much using the eikons skills and is super satisfying. I never went into a fight and felt bored, even deleting trash mobs is FUN.
    They really nailed the customization and build, not making a sphere grid of hundreds of useless nodes just a few and very significant, game-changing choices.

    Side content, specially quests start really bad but they got a lot better adding a lot the context and message the mains story tries to send. I never felt like i was doing it just for completionist sake, instead it was interesting to learn more about the game and characters.

    Really solid game and my personal goty pick so far.    … Expand

    Said that, Final Fantasy XVI is the best entry of the saga in a looooong time.

    Mechanics: It is a really fun game. You can decide if you want to play it easy, or a little bit more hard. It is not a souls game, so don't expect to do the bosses 20 times, but if you choose action mode and you don't use the rings, you can have a nice experience that requires a bit of technique. Of course as you progress in the game it gets easier, like basically in every game.

    Exploration: It is like Final Fantasy XII. Almost exactly, if you don't like that this is not the game for you. I loved it.

    Graphics: They are amazing, the characters are really expressive and the scenarios are beautiful. There is a lot of different scenarios, unlike FF XV. Sometimes the NPC faces are a little bit stiff.

    Music: GOD

    Story: This part is 100% subjective, that is why I started my review recommending to play the demo. The game is dark and gloomy and sometimes it has a lot of dialogue and cinematics. If you don't like that, this is not the game for you. If you like complex, rich and interesting lore, this is the game for you. Of course as EVERY JRPG in history, it has its fantastic and weird elements, so expect that.
    I loved the story, I get really attached to the characters and really got me emotional.

    In conclusion I LOVED THIS GAME, and I love to see the way the saga is taking. Also the publishing was clean with no delays and an amazing marketing. The game doesn't have issues regarding bugs, it is very polished.    … Expand

So muss es sein. Wer auf Herr der Ringe, Game of Thrones, Witcher usw steht, wird hier gut aufgehoben sein. Hoffentlich kommt noch ein Addon in ähnlicher Qualität! Das ist Playstation!

    Anyways, amazing narrative, story and characters, outstanding graphics and gameplay (specially combat and pacing), and soundtrack is out of this world!

Adempie in pieno a tutto ciò che un amante dei giochi di ruolo potrebbe sognare grazie ad un combat system stratificato, profondo e galvanizzante (poco importa che sia in tempo reale), una colonna sonora ed un impianto audio fuori parametro (compreso il magistrale doppiaggio in italiano degno di un film in CG Square Enix), una storia ed una narrazione mai così adulte, profonde e capaci di toccare l'anima di ogni videogiocatore ed una realizzazione tecnico- artistica ai vertici delle produzioni Ps5. Se avete amato action RPG come lo splendido Tales of Arise non potrete non amare anche questo capitolo della fantasia finale che mette da parte gli aspetti anime più superficiali e leggeri per definirsi un dark fantasy realistico, ogni dettaglio è stato curato maniacalmente e non c'è posto per il non sense o personaggi bislacchi. L'unico difetto è che prima o poi finisce. Bellissima la lore e la possibilità di richiamarla con un tasto contestualmente a quello che succede in quel momento a schermo(sistema similare ma molto meno raffinato e completo lo aveva già intrapreso triangle strategy).Personalmente lo reputo alla pari di esclusive come the last of us 2, Gow, Uncharted etc. dai quali non ha nulla da invidiare.Totale.… Expand

    First time since FF12 that I have been this invested in a singleplayer final fantasy game. Loved every minute of it. It doesn't play like the final fantasies of old, but it sure is the first game in a long time that made me feel the same way I did playing a Final Fantasy game back in the day.

Loved every minute of it. It doesn't play like the final fantasies of old, but it sure is the first game in a long time that made me feel the same way I did playing a Final Fantasy game back in the day. You might not have a true party in this game, but this cast of characters might be one of the best in the entire franchise. I found the story to be really engaging, I felt invested in the world, the gameplay is really fun and the boss fights are the absolute highlights of the game. Watching an FMV was the most hype thing back during the PS1 and PS2 days, and that has kind of been lost now. But the Eikon battles feel like the replacement for that in this game. They are breathtaking. I had a smile on my face during every single one.

    Not every fan is going to be pleased, but for me 13 and 15 were not what I personally wanted out of this franchise, and even 7R made decisions I am not a huge fan of. But FF16 felt like a true return to form to me. I have played every game in this franchise besides 11, and while I still need to let it sink in a bit, I am confident this game is going to rank high among my favourite FF games. Maybe even top 3.    … Expand

    Llevo 15 horas y es espectacular. La trama te envuelve como si vieras Juego de tronos, el combate es adictivo, gráficos alucinantes, como si vieras una peli de CGI en muchos momentos del juego y su sistema RPG es intuitivo q más a más del sistema de información de la historia, personajes y lore en general hace q no te dejes nada por el camino. Desde FFX el mejor final fantasy

    It's so stylish. I like the combat and atmosphere of the game. The characters are also nice. The graphics is not good though! I think ps4 could easily run this game. Why is it PS5 exclusive?
    I also like the gameplay and the environment. Another problem is stiff facial animation. All in all, I'll give it a solid 9.

    Coming from a final fantasy vet and a person who didn’t like final fantasy 15 as much as I wanted to like it final fantasy is a breath of fresh air. I believe they are going in the right direction with the series. Although I do hope they come out with some turn base spin offs like final fantasy worlds.

This is one of the most amazing, life changing Final Fantasy entries ever to be introduced to the world. I rarely feel so much emotion while playing a game, and there are just so many breathtaking moments. There are certainly things which could transform it into one of the greatest games of all time, such as better side quests and things to do, or just imagine what an open world would have been like—yes, we are bored of poorly executed open worlds, but that isn’t an issue with the concept and promise of them. That said, Final Fantasy 16 still manages to raise the bar for the franchise in so many ways, and significantly so. It is still absolutely Final Fantasy, despite its transformation from turn based to full action, which is done with perfection here. Clive’s abilities are smooth, fun and not confusing like past games. Honestly, I think it would have been just as good without the M rating- one of the best things about the series was its ability to evoke strong emotions without the usual bloodlust or profanity. It does this sometimes awkwardly, but they’re doing what they can to win over a new generation that’s used to Game of Thrones and Mortal Kombat fatalities—a rather disgusting side of humanity that harkens back to the Roman colosseum and public executions by the French guillotine. Why do we enjoy watching this? That aside, this is a significant leap in the right direction overall, and we look forward to where this takes us in the years ahead.… Expand

    Gameplay: The fast action gameplay is engaging and fun, you can make some insane combos with all kinds of different abilities and elements. Once you progress far enough in the game you can even mix and match elements/magic with different Eikons (previously called summons.) So the possibilities are there for anyone to play whatever playstyle they like. I want to address people saying youGameplay: The fast action gameplay is engaging and fun, you can make some insane combos with all kinds of different abilities and elements. Once you progress far enough in the game you can even mix and match elements/magic with different Eikons (previously called summons.) So the possibilities are there for anyone to play whatever playstyle they like. I want to address people saying you can just spam the square button and beat everything. That is true if you choose to play that way, the developers wanted ANYONE to be able to pickup this game and experience the story, art, and music within. There are accessories you have to EQUIP, if you WANT that type of playstyle, these help unfamiliar action players, non-gamers, older players/fans be able to make it through the game without issue and without the frustration of being unable to survive the battles. This is a choice of playstyle that each individual person has to make, the game is not inherently that easy.

    Companions: Your dog, Torgal, is a beast, has his own back story, and grows in power the more you use him throughout the game. I won't get into the actual companions names to avoid spoilers, but they all have their own set of abilities to make combat more intense. The only companion you have control over though is Torgal. The companions are helpful and engaging but do their own thing, this is slightly different than most may expect.

    Story: Holy **** this is Lord of the Rings extended edition quality, this is quite literally Game of Thrones 2.0 or maybe even 3.0. There has never been a more intense Final Fantasy and they have never taken more risks. With that being said, early on side quests feel just enough and right and as the game progresses they maybe do a little too many side quests that slows the pacing of the story. While the side quests all feel like they have meaning its like a random filler episode right in the middle of the main fight in your favorite anime. So while it's not bad, it can get distracting, but most of them are good in their own way and have their own story arcs they wrap up by the end of the game if you bother doing them.

    Cinematics: Sweet Mother Theresa on the hood of a Mercedes Benz! The cutscenes and cinematics are absolutely INSANE in this game. Easily one of the best visual masterpieces in gaming to date, easily up there with Death Stranding and the like. The landscapes are endless and beautiful. Each of the major cities is an architectural masterpiece in their own right, the cities are vibrant and beautiful in each cutscene, and what's crazier is so many times I said "it can't get more beautiful than this" and it absolutely did time and time again!

    Voice acting: Most of the time you can really sense real emotion coming from the performance of the actors in which sometimes you may shed a tear with them. Learning some back story of Clive's voice actor and his father passing during the recording of some of these scenes you can really hear raw, true emotion emanating from his performance. There are the occasional "cringy" dialogue lines which these games tend to have, but even those are few and not even that bad.

    Music: As always, Final Fantasy has an amazing musical score. There's a lot of new emotional pieces, as well as a few very nostalgic pieces that are sure to be a treat for old fans and new!

    Cons: Anyone coming into this game looking for a traditional JRPG will probably be disappointed, this is more of an ARPG with all the one player focused action RPG. I'm the type of player that scours every inch of the map looking for secrets and hidden items/objects, you won't find a ton of that here in this FF. It's not until the end of the game when you can discover a few secrets worth finding. Throughout the game there's also not much in the way of weapon/accessory crafting/customization. Typically you'll either craft the thing based on what you got from finishing your last boss, or you'll buy your upgrades/enhancements directly from the base store/blacksmith. There are the occasional chests tucked off the beaten path that have some really nice swords/equipment to wear, and some of which will last until endgame. But that's very far and few between, by the time I came across most things I already crafted/made a better weapon.

    Final Thoughts: After doing everything in the game that I could find/locate, I'm just absolutely blown away that we're at this point where gameplay, graphics, and story have combined into such a masterpiece. If half of the game being beautiful cutscenes isn't something you like, this game may not be for you. This game was emotional, beautiful, heart breaking, and exhilarating all at the same time. This game was a masterpiece.

    It's ok if FF16 isn't what you expected. 0 reviews don't make sense, there's so many things about this game better than most. There's too much "this game doesn't have what I want it's crap" and not enough "this game just wasn't for me." Have fun and enjoy!    … Expand

Square Enix has been puting out a lot of hits lately and been really doing a great job with final fantasy .

    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.
