    It's not necessarily a ten out of ten, but I believe that I should put this score so that the review bombers don't win.

    I've never played a FF before. The demo convinced me to get a PlayStation 5. I've been playing it for 10 hours thus far. This is a masterpiece!!! I am happy that I was right about this game, which is fantastic and jaw-dropping in every aspect, e.g., graphics, sound, battle, and story.

    - One of the best story ever made in gaming history
    - Great combat with a lot of possibilities and playstyle
    - God tier music
    - Eikon combat are chiefkiss while being fairly easy
    - Almost no loading
    - Insane voice acting

    Probably on my top 3 game ever and it's not 3rd

    The game is stunning. The gameplay is good and requires actual skill if you're not using accessibility options. There aren't any drops in quality if you actually take care of your playstation.

    Its a great one! Final fantasy at its core is about breaking a cycle within the world that youre playing in. In final fantasy 16s case, its about breaking the cycle of the mother crystals. As a final fantasy fan for 20 years I believe every single final fantasy game is a final fantasy game at its core. The combat has been continuously changing since final fantasy 11 came out in 2002, so inIts a great one! Final fantasy at its core is about breaking a cycle within the world that youre playing in.

The combat has been continuously changing since final fantasy 11 came out in 2002, so in my own opinion complaining about a change in combat is old news, and the people who are complaining need to go to a retirement home because its as if they forget that the combat changes in each and every single entry. Nobody can tell me otherwise, and nobody should tell you otherwise. This is a wonderful entry! y in the franchise Expand

    Gran trabajo al equipo de desarrollo y NO se arrepentirán, Go for it!

    One of the finest games of 2023 is this one. A stunning game with excellent combat, a captivating narrative, and excellent voice acting. It would be in your best interest to test out the demo before making a purchase since, without a doubt, you WILL become engrossed in this universe and not want to leave until the credits start to roll.

    Este FFXVI es una auténtica joya que trae un poco de aire fresco a la saga, con unos personajes espectaculares, una paisajes preciosos y un combate espléndido,

    Altamente disfrutable para todo el mundo, sin embargo la única pega que veo con este juego es la dificultad, necesitaría un objeto para aumentar el daño de los enemigos y su agresividad, el resto una maravilla que esperemos

    After XV i was sure this game goes to same category, but HELL NO! Huge improvement!
    This is totally masterpiece! Music gives me goosebumps, voice acting (especially CID) is top tier.
    Plot is dark, sad, surprising and it just flows forward like watching a movie.
    One of the best games ever and it goes starigth to TOP 3 of FF series.

    FFシリーズの中で一番好きな作品になりました。
    従来のFF15やFF7Rのシステムなどを活かされた部分も多々あり気合の入っている続編と言えます。
    良い点 ストーリーが少し大人向けではあるが細かい所の解説サポートがあるので素晴らしいと思いました。 演出が素晴らしかった。これ以上の作品は見たことがないほど楽しませてくれました。 音楽が場面のイメージと一致し盛り上げてくれた。珍しくサウンドトラックなど購入し聞きたくなるほどであった。 声優の演技が良く気になる点はほぼなかった。 気になった点 モーションブラーがあるので見ずらい場面がありましたがこちらは後日パッチで修正され選べるようになる予定だそうです。 スキルの演出がド派手すぎて相手の行動が読めない場合がある。

    Different style, but such a good quality. Pretty linear, but that's what it is. But the combat is so good and the story is very interesting. Have an open mind and just enjoy the ride.

    Final fantasy is an excellent game, the narration is beautiful, the combat system is compelling, the graphics sector of unheard-of beauty. A game that rightly revolutionizes the way of playing Final Fantasy. Game strongly recommended for both new players and veteran players of the brand.

I'd love to see FF14 evolving into something like this one day. This game is an action RPG alright, the elements are there. The only missing thing here for me is to be able to use other party members, but it is fine. This is the GotY for me so far. Impressive game!!! 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]
