    This game was delivered to me quite early on launch date, sadly no pre-order steelbook because I was too slow but then again, the Deluxe Edition steelbook was pretty enough for both, Square Enix always knocks it out of the park with the deluxe editions and this one was no exception, the game is wonderful and so fun and honestly everyone should give it a shot

    The deluxe edition of FF XVI comes with a steelbook in the box, as well as a map and preorder DLC. If you preorder you definitely got the preorder bonuses. They can be found in the app as well as in an email. Sometimes Best Buy does have exclusive steelbooks but nowhere in the item description does it say you will fet a bonus steelbook.

    Another Amazing Final Fantasy!

    I've been playing Final Fantasy games for 30 years, and I love how different each one is. The story in this one is a little darker, but the production value is still top-notch and I'm absolutely loving the game so far (~15 hours in). I'd especially recommend this to people who like RPG stories but want action as well.

    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.

    Great Deluxe Edition, For A Very Polarizing Game.

    The presentation of the deluxe edition is on par if not better than most. The quality of the steelbook and cloth map are very good. The value proposition for this edition is much more appropriate considering the crazy markup prices for some deluxe editions and basically all collector's editions.

    Probably one of the best final fantasy games I've played after 15! The gameplay, the storyline and the graphics are so epic! As a FFXIV player, seeing the way they've added a lot of elements from XIV into this game is so amazing and the combat system is so fun! Definitely 10/10 !

    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!

    I been needing a game with this style of gameplay and story for a long time. Graphics and gameplay and cutscenes I enjoy especially on a large tv. I am a long time ff fan. If you enjoyed the gameplay cross between dmc and gow. This is it.

    Loved the story and the graphic but it doesn’t feel like a final fantasy game. The gameplay is ok, not a big fan. This game feel more like a devil may cry than a final fantasy. Kind of disappointed. It was fun but not groundbreaking
