    It’s pretty good, awesome story, graphics and gameplay, but it’s a bit too easy with a hard mode that you can’t unlock until after you clear the story and the side quests are a bit lacking, the performance in quality mode @30fps is solid, but the 60fps mode is very rough when in exploration, but holds a solid 60 in combat at the sacrifice of image quality. A bit rough but I recommend overall.

    Final Fantasy XVI is a standout entry in the series, blending a dark, mature storyline with fast-paced, strategic combat. The narrative, filled with political intrigue and rich character development, keeps you hooked from start to finish. Visually stunning, the world of Valisthea is detailed and immersive, complemented by Masayoshi Soken's exceptional soundtrack. The Eikon battles and real-time combat mechanics add depth and excitement, making it a must-play for RPG fans.

    This game is amazing. Once I started playing this game, I could not stop myself from playing, so I had to put an alarm to remind me to stop, or else I will forget to do something else important. The story is great, and the music is phenomenal. There is the first game where I love every single song played in this game. This is one of the few games where I feel empty after I finished playing the game.

    If I could give this game 10 stars, I would! It is a graphical cinematic masterpiece! The story is interesting and has many twists that leave you not knowing what is going to happen next. The characters are interesting. The Eikons and the fights they are in are just stunning. The combat system is easy to learn, while thrilling and intense. I'm not even halfway through, and there have been many moments that just leave me in shock with how much epic motion and detail has been put into this game. I played God Of War Ragnarok, and FFXVI has amazed me more by far.

    This game takes the series in a fresh direction and I love the action RPG elements they've added. Much better than the usual turn-based combat we see in the series. The case also has a reversable cover, which I think is much cooler than the regular one

    FFXVI has amazing graphics. Furthermore, it has an immersive storyline that makes you fall in love with some of the characters. The battle system is similar to the one for Devil May Cry, getting a little away from the old FF battle style. This game is more on the serious side of the spectrum, more appealing to older teenagers and adults.

    The game is visually stunning with vivid color and effects, the story is interesting and compelling especially if you are already a fan of final fantasy. The combat starts out feeling well rounded and complex enough but after a while it starts to feel some what trivial. If you play the game for the story, you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a challenge, you may not find what your looking for. It definitely isnt dark souls. But sometimes thats a good thing.

    This game is amazing. This is my first time jumping into the final fantasy world and it did not disappoint. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves a good story and satisfying gameplay. Currently one of my favorite games this year and maybe a contender for one of my favorite games. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

    Final Fantasy XVI is a big step in the franchise and I think that they pulled it off well. The gameplay is super fun and engaging but it's definitely different from past entries. There is a pacing issue with the game towards the end and it was a major drag to get through. The game itself came was packaged well and came right on time!

    Best FF in 20 years

    Easily the best game in the series since FFX, it's basically what FF12 was supposed to be before they ruined the entire game in the opening cutscene. The game pays homage to the 2D classics in clever ways while moving the franchise forward in gameplay design. The prologue is mediocre, but once you get past that it gets good.

    Final Fantasy XVI is a great game, but it isn't without its flaws. I feel as though the game focuses too much on its main protagonist, Clive, and doesn't really give the other characters a chance to shine. I like Clive, but I think it's unfortunate that we only see one person's story play out in the huge well developed world of Valisthea. This game also isn't for everybody. Turned-based combat is gone and replaced with Devil May Cry 5 style combat. I saw someone else put it that this isn't really Final Fantasy, and instead it's Devil May Cry. I think that sums up the gameplay pretty well, and while I love it as a DMC fan, I can understand if Final Fantasy veterans aren't pleased with the switch. Ultimately, I think FFXVI is a fantastic game, but it has many flaws that I would like to see ironed out in maybe some additional DLC, kind of like with Final Fantasy XV.

    Wow… Is all I can say about this game. As a long time final fantasy fan, this game really beats XV in terms of story, visuals, and battle mechanics. Perfect game for long time fans as well as people who’ve never played a final fantasy game.

    Awesome game. Addictive and crunchy gameplay that is immensely satisfying. The story is also very much a Final Fantasy game. The central focus (seeking out the Mothercrystals) harkens back to the very first game. Check it out.

    The game is very good and the graphics are amazing, especially the cutscenes. I will say it's easier than most ff games i've played. New combat system that I thought I wouldn't like but I actually do. Can't wait for the next installment of Final Fantasy
