Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is absolutely amazing. This is my first time playing this series and I must say that I have enjoyed every little bit of it so far. I'm only about an hour into it but I'm hooked. I love the cinematic transitions alongside of the game and the combat is pretty satisfying as well. Excited for the future of games based on how this game is. The storyline is amazing along with the characters and the representations the characters portray. All around stunning game and a must play in my opinion on the PS5.

This entry has an outstanding story, beautiful graphics, and solid gameplay. Compared to previous entries, they took away some of the RPG elements, which is a tad disappointing. However, the action-centric combat is super smooth, and having all of the different summon abilities is fun. The two DLC's are awesome, as well.

Incredible graphics, great story and amazing voice acting. Highly recommend for fans of the series

As a fan of Final Fantasy and hack and slash titles like Bayonetta and DMC this game plays amazing. The story is gripping and holds you on the edge of your seat as the story ramps up over the dozens of hours you'll experience to complete. Ignoring the "Is this Final Fantasy" argument that every entry receives. This is a fantastic title worth your time and is an easy title that if you wanted to play for months on end and have an easy start to your PS5 collection this is a perfect start.

Bloodier and more potty mouthed than previous entries. Themes of deeply entrenched systematic oppression that are strongly present and very possibly overbearing and offputting to some. Less linear than X, but not as open as XV. Fun and smooth gameplay. Good graphics and enough environmental variety. Good sound track. Proper use of the series' traditional and recognizable elements. Non-excessive use of nostalgia that doesn't over power the new ideas present. A game worthy of its name.

The story is great! Combat is fun, but somewhat repetitive. The game is fairly linear and not particularly difficult. Not a traditional RPG, more of an action adventure.

Gameplay (Combat)- 9/10 Music - 10/10 Graphics - 9/10 Story - 10/10 Atmosphere- 10/10 Definitely worth every penny!

Buy it if you like fantasy, no-brainier if it's on sale, like I see it is now for $40. The music, graphics and cinematography throughout cut-scenes are thoroughly impressive. The game play is deeper than people give it credit for, as it can be beaten with not much mix up of combos and just spamming simple attacks. If you like a challenge though, NG+ offers a much better experience and requires tactic.

Beautiful game, I prefer graphics mode, as performance mode seems to have frame drops below 60 anyways. I didn't get my steelbook with the game, so I called customer support. Was on the phone for a while, call even dropped once, but they called back. Now my steelbook is shipped and on its way. Customer support rep was great!

The gameplaya nd story is just amazing. What really steals the show tho is the music. The music is beyond phenomenal.

Amazing game with amazing graphics and story. Only problem is i preordered the game months ago only to find out that the standard edition does not come with the steelbook like it stated. Had i known this i may have boughten the deluxe edition that comes with the steelbook. I have never had to order the steelbook seperately with any other game. Needless to say i am disappointed that i did not get the steelbook when it specifically said it would. Other than that an amazing game.

I have played Final Fantasy since the 8th (around 9 years old) I have loved these games for years and always excited to buy. While the tone of this game is drastically darker than the previous ones (sexual scenes and cursing) I really did enjoy it. Great story and the voice acting was great. My favorite was the eikon battles, these look great and are fun to play and amazing to watch. I cannot wait for the next Final Fantasy to see what they do next!

This is drastically different from other FF games but i absolutely love it. Been playing these since the SNES days, i love FF6, FF7, FF9 and now that ive beaten this game FF16 stands equal in quality right beside those. I highly recommend this, the story and combat are both engaging and will keep your attention until thr very end. I did a 100% completion and i would still love more. One of the rare times i am hoping for DLC.

I wasnt sure what to expect going into this game. Being a fan of Final Fantasy since the first one, i was a bit underwhelmed by the sevey toned down “rpg” elements. (Gear, items, other playable characters) These all take a back seat to the excellent story and while different than it has been in the past I have been enjoying the combat a lot. The Eikon (summon )fights are heavily anime inspired and very epic. I would highly recommend this game.

FFXVI does some things incredibly well, and other things very poorly. Everything about the presentation is top notch; the graphics, the sounds, the music, story delivered, all of these are fantastic. However, most of the qualities that make a game a good game, including the combat design, the skeleton of an RPG system, and the nearly pointless loot and upgrade systems, these are terrible. Overall, I rate it a 5/5 "interactive movie" worth experiencing, but at best a 2/5 video game.

I had a blast going through this game. The story was darker than other entries in the series, seeming to take some inspiration from Game of Thrones and maybe The Witcher. The gameplay was fun and fast paced but traditional RPG fans may be a little disappointed if they expect it to have gameplay like previous classic entries. Think FF7 Remake and not FF12, for example. The massive battles and set pieces make it an epic adventure worth exploring.

Great voice acting, great characters, great story, great battle system, great graphics. This is a return to quality that a mainline single-player Final Fantasy hasn’t seen since 2001. I’m almost done with the main plot and have done every side quest available to far. The only negative is that the side quests are a big boring, they each is worth it as they expand your gameplay and reveal more about the world and its vibrant characters.

This was my first final fantasy. I would describe it as a game of extremes. The main story was really good and had some really good bus fights, but sometimes the sections in between would drag on very heavily. Side missions were some that I was not incentivize to do with a exceptions. Combat was not exactly challenging, but it was fun most of the time. Overall, I would recommend this game as long as you know these things. Also, I believe this is a one time play through experience game in case that makes a difference.

Worthy of the Final Fantasy name! The combat is satisfying and not as dumbed-down as it looks in the trailers. Story was awesome and the graphics are truly next-gen. A must-have for any PS5 owner.

Brilliant story...beautiful cinemagraphics...I only wished that it was longer. However, I've heard that there are DLCs available. It won't add much to the original (I'm assuming) but the original is enough in my opinion...
