    História do jogo é interessantíssima e muito bem amarrada. O combate está excelente! É possível criar vários combos e sequências de ataques insanas, além do combate dos eikons que está muito épico.

The storyline is gripping and there has already been multiple strongly emotional moments, many coming after or during the climactic Eikon boss battles. The game only gains more depth and fun the further into it you play, and the linear structure of the game works very well here with how it lets you experiment with the action while also balancing the experience thoroughly. The game’s graphics and music are also phenomenally good, and it feels like the first truly next-generation Final Fantasy to me. I can’t wait to play more of this game, but I have reached far enough in it to tell that it is absolutely a 10/10 video game, not because it has absolutely no flaws, but because it is so incredibly fun and jaw-droppingly beautiful to experience.… Expand

    The game excels on its sensational combat, splendid story and its spectacular beauty, the battles of the Eikons are the highlight of the game.

    The story is great, excellent plot and writing with great and shocking twists and development of events.
    The characters are very interesting, every character even the least important characters have their own personality, backgrounds and goals. The protagonist (Clive) is one of the best, his story and how he changed after all what happend is pleasing. The    One of the generation best

    The gameplay is just perfection, kinda similar to FFXV’s gameplay but faster. The abilities that Clive has and how you can combine them to make a combo is thrilling.
    The music is unsurprisingly fascinating. There’s the quite, calm and peaceful osts, and there’s the dramatic and thrilling osts and both are perfect.    … Expand

    The story goes back to the beginnings of final fantasy in the medieval style, the fluid combat is very good, the visuals are extremely impeccable and the effects are magnificent, it is a great game and very well done, if there is something that Square Enix knows how to do, it is without a doubt Final fantasy.

    Final Fantasy XVI es una obra maestra, la historia, el diseño de personajes son increíbles. El sistema de combate creado por Ryota Suzuki es muy inmersivo y gratificante, El apartado gráfico y el diseño de escenarios es impresionante. La banda sonora compuesta por Masayoshi Soken es fantástica. Logran llevar a Final Fantasy XVI a otro nivel de calidad!

    Uno de los mejores final Fantasy que he jugado, ha sobrepasado todas mis expectativas, viendo trailers pensé que era muy fácil, pero la dificultad está muy bien equilibrada, no puede ser más épica la historia, el rendimiento en mi caso ha sido impecable, lo juegos desde una LG C3 que produce fluidez extra, la música es impecable, 100% recomendado

    One of the best games ever. The combat, the story, epic boss battles, insane level design, gorgeous graphics, epic music. Don’t listen to the bad reviews, they’re probably xbots or woke media. A Masterpiece, loved every moment truly GOTY.

Super grandiose and larger than epic world-building, characters and themes. Definitely plays    (Played: FF7 and FF8 when they were still new Late 90s/00s)

Super grandiose and larger than epic world-building, characters and themes. Definitely plays Game of Thrones... and thats a positive. Mix with Devil May Cry and Witcher 3, and it actually creates something new for the series.

    Sure it's getting review-bombed, but this is one...
    I repeat.
    This is one of the BEST.

    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]
