Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Great storyline and gameplay. Different from your old school final fantasy of turn based and summons. Enjoy

One of the great games of the year in my opinion it has good combat a great story and excellent music

The video game itself is amazing! But kinda disappointed it didnt come with the best buy steelbook as i did pre order the deluxe edition. As well as game not being available for pick up on day of release. Still game is amazing worth the wait.

Fantastic story, amazing graphics, and a great facelift for an all time classic franchise!

Great game! Amazing story line! The fighting style has a Devil May Cry feeling to it. .

Great product. Bought to send in to have it graded to add to my collection. Was fast and easy to buy and have delivered.

For a honest “professional” unbiased review I’d give the same a solid 8/10, but my personal opinion I think it’s a straight 10/10. Almost everything about this game is absolutely fantastic except for a few personal issues (lack of certain “RPG” elements here & there) which is what dropped it down to that 8/10. I genuinely hope that CBU3 does more mainline titles in the future.

Fantastic! My favorite combat style I’ve ever played - just the right pace and level of configurability. The storytelling can get a little silly sometimes, but in the usual JRPG melodrama way that just takes a little buy-in from the player. MOST of the quests don’t feel like fetch quests, but there is the occasional series of “oh come on, really.” Though not too much.

Great game! Looks fantastic on an 8K or 4k television.

Great game, Action RPG, perfect for newcomers to the series

Final Fantasy 16 has met all my expectations and then some! This feels like a classic game harkening back to the PS2 days, but polished and shiny on the next gen hardware. The story is gripping and the combat is fun with a bit of depth. I would recommend this game even for anyone who hasn't played the series before.

Haven't finished the game yet, but I'm 30+ he's into it. So fat it's amazing. If you're a Debil May Cry fan, you'll feel right at home with the combat. If you're a FInal Fantasy fan, you'll feel right at home with the world and story. The battles are mind blowing. Highly recommend for any ok me to play.

One of the absolute best in the FF franchise period. The world is amazing, countless side missions (some are fetch quests, bounties, others lengthy quests). Insane graphics and deep characters and the combat can be built how you want to play. Also, those boss battles are the best I’ve ever played. Wow.

The box was a little worse for wear, but the DELUXE EDITION most definitely comes with a steelbook case. If you ordered the normal game and expected a steelbook case because you did “research”, you must have not done too well in university. I am happy with my purchase and the game is freaking great.

Definitely pretty to look at... I may end up spending more time watching cutscenes than actually controlling my character, but 15 hours in and I still want to play more. Story has been pretty predictable so far, so I hope they have a big twist coming up soon!

Probably one of the most polished and best games I’ve been in years. Final Fantasy exceeded my expectations and is now one of my favorite games of all time. This is a game I would highly recommend to every gamer out there who owns a PS5!

Absolutely blown away by this game. The announcement came just in time as I had been thinking of purchasing a PS5. Game definitely has replay value. I have completed the game with 100hrs and going to go back through for NG+ etc.

Such an amazing expirence!, the first final fantasy title since the 10 installment that has affected me in auch a profound and positive way, best buy was very helpful getting ke this title with no complication!

I absolutely love this game and i highly recommend everyone with a PS5 to get it. There’s a free demo to try out if you aren’t sure if you’ll like this game or not.
