The sun is setting upon the land of Valisthea. For centuries, people have flocked to her Mothercrystals to partake of their blessing—the abundant aether that fuels the magicks they rely upon in their everyday lives. But as the aether begins to fade and the lifeless deadlands spread ever further, so too does the struggle over the final flickers of the Mothers' light grow ever more fierce. Bloody battle rages across the realm, rival nations sending their ultimate weapons against each other: the Dominants. Men and women within whom sleep the world-shattering power of an Eikon. There are few in Valisthea whose lives have not been touched by this war for the crystals' blessing, and Clive Rosfield, firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria, is no exception. Unlike most, however, the vicissitudes of fate are to reveal to him the dark truth that lies at the heart of his world, and lead him on a mission to destroy those selfsame Mothercrystals the rest of the realm hold sacred.

Titanic Clashes: When rival Dominants come head to head, epic battles between their Eikons ensue!
Eikonic Clashes: Clive utilizes the powers of multiple Eikons in breakneck battle!

Not your dad's Final Fantasy
If you are looking for that old school turn based type RPG that the FF series was so well known for you wont find that here. Though that is not a surpise after the last couple entries in the series have edged closer to the action/adventure genre. This game completly embraces a more Devil May Cry or God of War fighting system. Even adding quick time events into the mix. Another big change is the gear. Something that was huge in min/maxing your character before has become just finding materials from quests and killing monsters to craft or upgrade your existing gear. Also gone is the huge open world to explore. You have a world map you click on destinations to move from one to the next. Also there been a whole lot of reason to go off the very linear path searching for treasure as if you do find any it is usually just crafting items that the monsters drop. There is a skill tree that you can unlock to suit your own playstyle and items that can make the combat much easier for you if you just want to see the story play out. So all that said, you may wonder why I still scored it 4 stars. First off, it is a truely gorgeous game. Both the cutscenes and the actual gameplay. Square made the right call making this a next gen exclusive. Second, the story. It is dark high fantasy that is up there with Game of Thrones. So if you enjoyed that you will probably love it. And the voice acting is top notch, Also there is a lot of nostalgia going on here. Seeing Chocobos and Moogles and lots of returning monsters reimagined in such detail is awesome. As is tradition in FF games the music is a masterpiece. And the biggest reason is the combat just feels good. Fighting as Summons (Eikons in the game) is unique as well as each one controls differently and almost feels like its own game. I definitly recommend this game to anyone who likes story, graphics, FF lore, action adventure and are even old school RPG fans that are open minded to a new type of Final Fantasy playstyle.

Final Fantasy goes nuclear-action
I love Final Fantasy, but I will try to be unbiased. The game plays like what I would think Game of Thrones would be if it were an action-fantasy RPG. The story is epic, incredible, and it really draws you into the world of Valisthea. The characters are all great, villains and heroes alike, along with the grade-A voice acting. The world-building is legitimate, you get a sense of the grandness of the different kingdoms and their dominants. The gameplay is unique for a mainline Final Fantasy game, which I have mixed feelings about. I would have preferred a balance between action and turn-based system, kind of like Final Fantasy 7 Remake or FF15. The game is pretty much an action RPG, and it can be a bit intense for my casual self, but I somehow managed to beat it (who'd have thought?). But my poor thumbs :( THE BATTLES. Dear lord, I was at the edge of my seat before, during, and after a boss fight. 80% of the budget probably went into them. Wow. It was definitely an adrenaline rush, for sure. The fight sequences are very fun, and the bosses aren't so hard that you will die repeatedly, but still provide enough of a challenge. The music is beautiful, flows seamlessly with every change in the story. There's a jukebox in-game you can use to play different songs from throughout the game. The sound is superb, and if you have a subwoofer in your sound system you will definitely appreciate it! I am now in my 2nd playthrough to get the platinum trophy, and it isn't even a chore for me; I am barely skipping any of the story sequences. That's how much I loved this game. About the story sequences, they go on for about 11 hours, so keep that in mind. Basically, this game is a Final Fantasy game but it is also not a Final Fantasy game. It might deviate greatly for older gamers, and won't be your cuppa, but if you give it a chance it might just grow on you, like it did me.

Disappointing
Has some cool moments and standout music. However, it really should have just been a full-fledged action game, as the RPG elements are completely inconsequential at best, and very tedious at their worst. The story moves very slowly, and cutscenes are largely Clive and crew simply remarking how bad things have gotten. Party members have very little screen presence, and you hardly notice them fighting next to you. Most people will advise to skip the side quests because of how badly they're designed. What they don't tell you is the main story forces you to follow similar quest chains that have no plot impact whatsoever. The combat had promise early on, and some boss fights are a joy to learn how to dodge perfectly. Otherwise, many elite enemies just feel like your smacking the same old sponge. The big Eikon monster fights are allegedly the showstoppers, but they are simply interactive cutscenes with brief bits of combo mashing a giant limb in between. They try to be dramatic between each stage of the fight, but it's pretty much impossible to lose these. By the 3rd or 4th one, it started to feel a bit silly when the same old big opera music started playing again. The performance on PS5 is subpar for an otherwise okay looking game. Some environments are stunning but it's otherwise a bit dated looking. I'm definitely not a downer on FF, and while I like some more than others, I have never walked away from one that I wouldn't recommend to others to at least try or wait for a sale. FFXVI has changed that.
