    BEST GAME OF 2023

    This is my very first final fantasy game and I could gladly say that this one of the best games I’ve ever played this year. Everything from the OST, cinematography, story, boss battles and combat is perfect with little to no flaws. This truly feels like a next gen game pushing the ps5 to its limits.

    I’ve been a FF fan from the beginning. I like FF 16. The graphics are great and the story is good. My complaint is how much screen time there is that isn’t interactive. There have always been cutscenes, but there seems to be so many. After playing Hogwarts Legacy and Horizon Dawn, I get bored with the cutscenes in FF. I was surprised at the increase in mature content. It didn’t really bother me, but it didn’t really seem necessary. It felt forced in some cases.

    This game blew me away with its story, gameplay, and visual presentation. There is a little bit of filler spread out through the main story, but its kind of expected from a jrpg so i wouldnt knock any points for that reason. Overall i could safely say this is my favorite final fantasy entry would highly recommend to returning and newcomers to the franchise.

    Narrative, world building, music, gameplay are all top notch. Torgal is the best boi. I'm glad Square took FF7R and threw out all the traditional JRPG conventions and made a pure character action game. There is still stuff like forced crafting where the mechanics might as well not be there but otherwise, I'm loving this direction for the franchise.

    I was wary of the move away from turn-based combat to a full on action approach, but in the first 20 minutes I understood exactly what the combat system wanted from me - unlike FFXV. The story and setting also satisfy on the Final Fantasy front. If you keep an open mind and dont go into this wishing for 1997, you will be happy with it.

    The story in this Final Fantasy is far more focused on the characters, and that brings a more emotional hit as the title moves forward. Along with the best graphics the seriea has ever enjoyed, this game is absolutely fantastic. If the game gets any expansions, I for one welcome them. A must have for any PS5 owner.

    FFXVI is an amazing game. The story has great twists and turns, great characters with excellent growth, and side quests that are worth doing. The combat is so much fun, you can really play the way you want with all the available skills and abilities that you aquire. This is a top 3 Final Fantasy game all time, possibly the best ever.

    One of my favorite modern Final Fantasy games. I truly enjoyed the story and it was not convoluted like FFXV, or FFXIII. Easy to follow, great graphics, and I enjoyed actually controlling the summons in certain parts of the game.

    I was apprehensive about getting this game at first. Although I had played final fantasy before, it’s been a few years and the trailers turned me off by how visually overwhelming combat is — though, a nice change in pace from turn based combat. My experience was that this was a pleasure to play. Although combat can still be a little confusing to tell what’s actually happening, there are equitable items that can aid with slowing things down, or automizing combat. Cut scenes are long, but very well done. The writing in phenomenal— this story would do well as a limited television series. The American protagonist voice actor isn’t great, but otherwise, performances are wonderful. Gameplay is smooth and the haptic feedback is subtle but rewarding. It is tough to play this for more than 2-3 hours at a time — the combat is great but a bit draining at times. Some fights do go on forever and the fatigue of dragon ball Z grade action fighting does begin to wear on me after a while. It’s nice to return to Final Fantasy after not having played anything since Final Fantasy x.

    The game is so interesting. I find myself absorbed in the environment and the story. Every cutscene that happens makes me curious about what might happen next. The gameplay is also very fun. I find myself using different abilities and skills to make the combat even more fun and thrilling. I can't wait to see how the story comes to an end.

    It's a very linear game, but the content is very well done. The story is engaging, the characters are enjoyable, the side quests actually have justifiable reasons for existing and add to the world. The graphics are gorgeous. The boss fights are epic. The combat is fluid and exciting.

    Final Fantasy meets Game of Thrones

    It has some of the political atmosphere that Game of Thrones had with elements that ate typical in Final Fantasy games like the Mother Crystals. It is a great action game but has moments where you're doing fetch quest to progress the main story. Also, the rpg elements are disappointing, in my opinion. The story, characters, and core gameplay are top tier, which make its flaws tolerable. I'd rate this 4.5 stars if i could.

    While it's true that Final Fantasy games stopped being turn based almost 20 years ago, I expected this one go back to that type of gameplay. I was a little disappointed at first when I noticed this was an action game and not a traditional RPG, but once the combat started to open up more I started to have a blast. The music and combat are solid, the story is okay, not bad but not great. I strongly recommend it to anyone with a PS5.

    Ps5 finally has a game worth playing as their past games have been whatever and not a true benefit of owning a ps5. This game changes that by being awesome story wise, the combat is fast paced, the graphic option looks good and does a good job of maintaining a solid 30 FPS. I dont like paying 70 dollars for games but this was one worth it

    One of the most involved Final Fantasy's I've played and I'm a veteran to the series. It's different from the fact its no longer turn based, but don't let that deter you from one of the most beloved facts about these games in the series. The story, the music, and the characters. ....just tragic so far but I've yet to complete it.

    I saw my friend play, and was immediately captivated. Overall awesome game. The story, graphics and game play are excellent. There are a lot of tributes to the past titles throughout the game (music, characters, etc), and it's fun to find them. I have played most FF titles, but this one is unique and may be one of my favorites.

    While this may be a departure from the classic turn-based Final Fantasy games, it has solid combat and an epic story. I do wish you had more fully-controllable party members like in FF7 Remake, but overall I'm enjoying the game so far. If you like Game of Thrones storytelling and Devil May Cry combat, this is for you.
