Jun 25, 2023Decent action game, terrible final fantasy.
Poor level design, no exploration, repetitive combat and game structure, overuse of QTE, atrocious sidequests and the list goes on -

Jun 25, 2023This is all what Sasel said in his channel; the game should been named whatever else but it clearly isn't a Final Fantasy. Im downloading XV again.
To add injury it is highly aggravating that it can hurt your PS5 for its overheating issues. I just spent 70ussd and next thing it can literally destroy your console. -
Jun 25, 2023Removed what makes Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy... Seems like a fun action game but does not match the name of the game. Resolution and frame rate deff could use some help. Not a fan of the motion blurr.

Jun 25, 2023too many cutscenes
too much battle effect
too old hairstyle
Wouldn't it have been better to make it into an animation rather than a game? -

Jul 21, 2023I guess anything passes as a Final Fantasy these days. This game goes to prove people will buy crap as long as a big name is attached to it. Shocking performance, story pacing and side quests. The gameplay is so shallow and easy that they might as well have made it an interactive movie experience. Turd of a game, don't care if Yoshi-P name and CBU3 made it.

Aug 2, 2023Metacritic has now deleted 3 of my accounts because I called out this game for dropping to 720p and sub 30 fps. At least I now know for a fact this site is paid off

Jun 28, 2023Como um amante da franquia Final Fantasy, estou muito frustrado com os caminhos tomados no desenvolvimento dos últimos games. A essência foi perdida e muito do que colocaram no lugar simplesmente não funciona bem, como por exemplo a fórmula de exploração e side-quests enfadonhas e datadas...

Aug 18, 2023Bad game. Bad Story, playing like an arcade game, Eikons is just arcade Sega style button mashing in a soulless caves.
Final Fantasy 7 remake in the other hand is a masterpiece. -

Jul 4, 2023Eu gostei muito de Final Fantasy VI, até hoje acho que não joguei nenhum RPG que chegasse próximo da experiência que aquela obra prima da Square me deu. De fato um dos melhores jogos já feitos, mas aqui fica a pergunta, será que vou voltar a jogar um RPG desse desenvolvedora? Porque aqui em Final Fantasy XVI não será infelizmente, aqui é apenas mais um hack n slash como tantos outros.

Jul 8, 2023Not a FF game, maybe a good action game.
I think newcomers can like it but for old FF fans this game is terribile.
I quit FF16 after 30 hours and play just some hours FF 7 (1997 version) to make my heart happy again! -
Jul 26, 2023The worst Final Fantasy ever, slow, boring and with characters without character and sympathy. Unattractive plot and with a repetitive and unoriginal combat system worse than any hack and slash. Beautiful only the graphics even if not very fluid.

Jul 28, 2023This is not a game, it's a movie.I got bored after about 10 hours and could not finish the game. The fights, especially with the summons, are tedious and awful

Jul 29, 2023Regretting purchasing this game, poor frame count, poor combat experience, poor side quests, poor ending, and the gameplay made people feel sleepy.

Aug 3, 2023One of the worst Final Fantasy games ever played
It's not even a jrpg anymore, because the development team are too busy to copy game of thrones and make flashy cinematics for a QTE game.
Biggest disappointment of the year -

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]
