Jun 27, 2023With the release of FFXVI, 2023 is officially one of the best years in video game history and that's only first half of the year, there's entire other half of amazingness yet to come. Would have never expected gaming to get good again. Huge Thank You! to entire team who worked on FFXVI, incredible work.
Thank you for making gaming good again! -
Jun 27, 2023I think this is one of the best Final Fantasy games out there right now. Top 3 easily for me. The heart of the game is the history itself. Awesome characters, plot and action sequences. Awesome music. God the music...
The only thing that could do better was the ítems that you can use and grow, there is no much you can do to improve your gear, there isn't so many options. -
Jun 27, 2023From the graphics, the music, and the voice acting, this is the best FF game I've ever played. The combat system is my new favorite for RPG games and I hope they keep it for future FF games. I don't want to spoil the story for anyone, so I'll just say if you're a fan of Final Fantasy, do yourself a massive favor and play this game.

Jun 27, 2023Words don't do it justice! Its a top cinema and game experience. Game of the year in my opinion and you must experience it for yourself!
-
Jun 27, 2023This Game is awesome, its not so childdish Like FF before, its dark fantasy, with epic Boss battles and a very good Story.
-
Jun 27, 2023Eu estou adorando o jogo, tem problemas sim, principalmente de desempenho, e ainda não aprece totalmente um jogo next gen, ms ele funciona
-
Jun 27, 2023Adorei o combate, sinto que é uma boa evolução para a franquia, a história é ótima e a trilha sonora uma das melhores do ano, o tom adulto da trama e a crueza com que os assuntos são tratados é muito bom, os combates dos Eikons são espetaculares, Clive se tornou um dos melhores protagonistas que a franquia já teve!

Jun 27, 2023Final Fantasy has truly peaked with FF7R and now FF16. Both absolute masterpieces.

Jun 27, 2023Graficamente Sublime Storia Pazzesca un FF da sogno, si ritorna un po nel passato con una trama per pubblico adulto, ci voleva.La modalità action, mi piace un casino, per i nostalgici ci sono sempre le i vecchi FF

Jun 27, 2023The rather stuffy way of moving and the way the quest was carried out was disappointing, but the overwhelming direction and story will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.

Jun 27, 2023review bombers couldnt even get this game to a 7 lol, in all honesty one of the most exiciting games ive played and most immersive. im a fan of old and new final fantsys and this is a easy 9.5-10

Jun 27, 2023It's a great game.
Combat system is amazing. Eikon battles are sick af. Music is god tier.
Some side quests are not interesting. But there are still some amazing side quests.
(Sorry for my poor English) -
Jun 27, 2023Well not perfect.
I really enjoyed the story, characters and world immensely. Its a beautiful game and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I do wish they leaned more into traditional RPG elements though.
I had a blast -
Jun 27, 2023Best game this year. A wide and beautiful world, interesting side missions, smooth and enjoyable gameplay, one of the best games I have ever played
-
Jun 27, 2023Awesome Game, but motion blur sucks and framerate is not stable. Gameplay gets more interesting the further you get.
-
Jun 27, 2023Un juego epico!!! Graficos un 10, historia un 10, sistema de combate un 10. Una maravilla. Totalmente recomendado.

Jun 27, 2023Final Fantasy HAS NOT been TURN BASED for TWENTY YEARS now. Move on LOSERS. If you want TURN BASED combat, then this series is NOT FOR YOU anymore and has not been for you, FOR A LONG TIME.
It's like asking Doom Eternal combat and movement to be as basic as Doom 1993 or Resident Evil to be FIXED GAMER ANGLES.
This is ridiculous. -
Jun 27, 2023It's a masterpiece
Epic boss fight
Epic music
The story is sad and beautiful at the same time
I only have one complaint: the performance mode isn't great
Therefore, I recommend playing this game in graphic mode, which is a permanently locked 30 frames per second -
Jun 27, 2023
-
Jun 27, 2023The characters and moments in this game are better than anything I have ever seen. They deserve all the praise for this great game, and with the absolutely incredible music score from Soken, this is something everyone should at least try out.
-
Jun 27, 2023The game is fun, the characters are likable, and the battle mechanics are great. The plot was very interesting, and there are all sorts of dark twists and turns that keep your attention. It’s pretty violent, but I’ve definitely seen worse. The graphic and the soundtrack are stunning.
-
Jun 27, 2023It is just a musterpiece. So good battle and music and graphic. Wow. It was very cool adventure with cool heroes
-
Jun 27, 2023what an amazing game
gameplay is way better than ff15, more like DMC style, and the music is stellar
Clive is such a great protagonist as well, you can definitely relate to the moments with him, the cast is also memorable. -

Jun 27, 2023The plot is incomplete, the characterization is lacking, and the ending is disgusting. The game system is boring and there is no desire to delve into it. Most of the funds are spent on the summoned beast battle scene, and the rest is very perfunctory.
-
Jun 26, 2023Beautiful game with stellar story and fluid gameplay. Definitely a very good game highly recommend.

Jun 27, 2023bagusssss banget... berasa main game of thrones padahal final fantasy dan karakter utama yg kita mainkan adalah john snow
-
Jun 27, 2023I love this game. The Eikon battles and the vistas are amazing. The team did an amazing job on this one. Everything a final fantasy should be.
-
Jun 27, 2023Épico a más no poder. Una obra maestra. Lo mejor: narrativa cuidada, gameplay y OST.
-
Jun 27, 2023Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake are best Final Fantasy games of all time, They are both modern (real time combat), have perfect voice acting, amazing graphics and amazing story (yes FF7 Remake story is even better than the OG, because they added and improved so many things). Hype for FF 7 Part 2!!!

Jun 27, 2023Turn based combat was biggest mistake in gaming history and i'm glad it's never coming back!!! If i could go back in time, i would make sure turn based combat was never invented and they would start with action combat from the very beginning!!!

Jun 27, 2023I have been really astonished how good this new final fantasy is. These bad reviews have not given it a chance. I have always been a steadfast rpg fan, but the story, gameplay, characters, environments, everything in this game is top notch. Congrats to the developers!

Jun 27, 2023Um dos melhores jogos de 2023, personagens incríveis, história envolvente e um gameplay de ação complexo com a possibilidade de executar diferentes combos e combinações.
Extremamente recomendado para quem quer iniciar sua aventura no universo de FINAL FANTASY. 10/10 -
Jun 27, 2023This game is the standard for not only the Final Fantasy series, but ARPGs going forward. Story, combat, graphics, lore, music is all outstanding. Sometimes I can’t believe that I am actually playing something of this quality. Whether you’re a 20+ yearlong fan like myself or new to the series, this game is for you. Forget everything you think you know about Final Fantasy and pick this one up.
-
Jun 27, 2023Excellent addition to the franchise. Beautiful graphics, fun story and most importantly, amazingly satisfying gameplay.
-
Jun 27, 2023This game is beautiful. It may not be your typical, turn-based JRPG, but it tells an amazing story!

Jun 27, 2023Amazing game with some of the best boss fights in all of gaming. Well written characters and dialogue and phenomenal voice acting.
-
Jun 27, 2023Game of the year in almost every aspect. As a fan of the franchise I haven't felt this way since FFVII on PS1.
-
Jun 27, 2023Giving this 9/10 only because I don't own a console and don't plan to own one. Please ensure your games are released in a timely fashion on PC.
It's a beautiful game, no need to say more. Just enjoy the game, it's a benchmark of what a modern AAA title can be. -
Jun 27, 2023FF16 is the best game of the Final Fantasy saga ever.
Completly amazing, I hope he will be released soon on PC. -
Jun 27, 2023Great game, insane combat, compelling story. Everything you want from a Final Fantasy game is available
-
Jun 27, 2023i give it as 9/10 as the characters, story, music, world building, easter eggs, side quests and rewards, RPG elements were top notch!
the only thing stopping from giving it a perfect 10/10 was the combat, while i love the DMC style of combat the game has, it feels lacking in a sense, personally the FF7:R combat system had the perfect blend of action and turn based combat. -
Jun 27, 2023
-
Jun 24, 2023Combat and action are top notch, and some cutscenes are jaw dropping and make action movies look silly compared to this. This game knows what it wants to be and it's pretty good at it. My 2023 goty for now
-
Jun 27, 2023I enjoyed every second of this game, it made me smile so often. THE BOSSFIGHTS ARE JUST P*RN WITH COMBAT AND SOUNDTRACK, THATS WHAT I HOPED TO SEE IN GOW RAGNARÖK, BUT RAGNARÖK BOSS FIGHT WAS RLLY MEH AND GOT A 94, BUT FF16 IS A GAME YOU CANT COMPARE TO OTHERS, JUST PLS PLAY IT U WONT REGRET!!!
-
Jun 27, 2023Es un pedazo de juego de lo mejor de 2023 GOTY!!! y que me coma la polla una y otra vez el hijo de puta de Jaen

ってね--。 -

Jun 27, 2023I'm normally not the biggest Final Fantasy fan, but I wanted to try this one because I really liked the combat in the trailers. I must say I made the right choice to play it because it quickly became my GOTY so far this year.

Jun 27, 2023This game is one of the best FF that I have ever played.
Story, Action, Cutscene, etc..., all is high quality.
Though I can't go around the world freely, the way prepared by devlopers gives me an great experience.
Thank you. -

Jun 27, 2023A Solid 10/10 Game.
I'm not a series fan but FF16 created a magical world and gave me incredible experience during Eikon fights in the last 50 hours. Brightly colored hdr scene and impassioned music really brought that beautiful world to me.
Thank you, YoshiP. -
Jun 27, 2023One of the best games I have played in a long time, from combat to Story everything is beautifully done. Only side quests feel a little lackluster.

Jun 27, 2023Mi puntuación real iba a ser 8 tirando a 9, pero debido a los t0nt0s de siempre me veo casi moralmente obligado a ponerle un 10.
Es un FF que arriesga con el cambio en el estilo de combate, y le sale muy bien en mi opinión. Se sigue sintiendo como un FF a pesar de que el combate sea más un hack&slash y las mecánicas de RPG se han visto reducidas. -
Jun 27, 2023Great addition to the Final Fantasy franchise. The combat and movement is so fluid and satisfying.
-

Jun 27, 202380€ pour un film, c’est cher ! L’histoire est pas mal mais niveau gameplay c’est zéro ! Je ne comprends pas comment on peut faire un jeu aussi vide en 6 ans de développement…Dommage
-
Jun 27, 2023Exceeded my expectations. Amazing game! After playing the demo I was surprised by the quality of the game, and just gets better as the gameplay progresses.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 22, 2024Final 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. [Issue#329]
-
Oct 30, 2023This 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.
-
PLAYSep 17, 2023New 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]
