One of the few things to come perfectly intact. I buy games I like to collect personally, games that are important to me, not to sell, so condition matters quite a bit to me as this is one of my only hobbies and I enjoy it. It helps me feel comfy when I am not. Lately ive been struggling finding places that sell games perfectly in mint condition just for myself, and to possibly pass some on to children. Ive always had good experiences with bestbuy in this regard and try to give them as much service as I can, even though my town location has closed. Every game I gave bought from them has come damaged lately and I dont know why. Except this one. Thank God, its been making me sad how many returns iceve been having to make. Amazing game too :)

Wonderful spectacle fighter where you play as a young prince named Clive on his quest for revenge against a cruel fate. Combat is akin to Devil May Cry, with a story quality that is of par with other Final Fantasy titles.

Great game to add to the series. The story is well written and gameplay is more in line with Devil May Cry. Overall still a pretty good entry and worth a playthrough. I'm on my second one now with NewGame+.

I really don’t understand all the hate for this game. As a lifelong Final Fantasy fan, this is now one of my favorites in the series! Turn based FF has been long gone, there should be no surprise there about the combat system, which I personally am enjoying a lot. You can get really creative with abilities/combos that makes for a very satisfying experience. The characters are relatable and lovable, the story is written extremely well, with deep knowledge into the world and lore of FF16. The Eikon battles and soundtrack are epic! Visually gorgeous and stunning. I have not come to a part where it feels dull or boring. This game just keeps reeling me in wanting more. Complaints about the side quests are a bit silly in my opinion too. They are of course optional but some provide background, and a more human aspect to the game. While others provide QoL items. This is an overall very enjoyable game to me, and I encourage others to try it out for themselves!

I won’t lie when I say this is probably my GOTY of this year. This game has an amazing story, characters, gameplay, and it’s so cinematic. This is what games these days should strive to be as I could play this game all day and not get tired. Play this game!

The combat is great but repetitive, the story keeps your interest, and the world and political setting is interesting. The side quests are forgettable though, and the RPG mechanics are pretty much nonexistent. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

This is the first Final Fantasy game I’ve played and I have to say I’m blowed away with the story, gameplay, soundtrack and everything. I highly recommend anyone with a PS5 give this game a shot you’ll be glad you did. Game of the year contender

This game is incredible! Its not your average FF game but the story and gameplay are excellent. The one star reviwes are dumb. They didnt even have issue with the game itself. I highly recommend comming from a long time FF fan

It's a fun ride with little replayability, I didn't even get the DLC because it would require me to relearn the combat system. Stunning visuals and emmersive world. The real hindrance to this being a masterpiece is the change from JRPG to ARPG.

My personal game of the year. It has the best soundtrack, combat, and writing in a game I've experienced in a long time. The Deluxe edition steelbook is also great and has a sort of sculpted design around the character.

Awesome game! Love the textured feel of the deluxe edition box. The steel book case and map are awesome also. Only gripe I have is I wish there was more in this edition to justify the $30 extra from the standard edition.

The Story, Gameplay, and Visuals were all amazing. Overall a great game with a few minor nitpicks (Weapon and Armor simplicity and Early to mid game quest lacking) but overall I definetly recommend playing FF16.

$99.99 is a steep price tag, but an indulgence is nice once in a while, and this game delivers from the shimmering graphics on the outer box and steelbook, to the graphics in-game only the PS5 can deliver.

Final Fantasy switched up the format from RPG to button smashing. The game is like devil may cry but on puppy mode. There is no option to change the difficulty settings at all. If I were to change one thing, it would be that. The graphics and the story are good. Wouls recommend.
