    one of the best games I've played of 2023. It's a little different than other final fantasies entries. But I got to say I'm loving the new combat system. Great story, decent side missions, memorable characters. I gotta say the demo won me over. Product got To my residence fast.

    I honestly thought this game was going to be decent but it turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time. I've never played a game in my entire life that filled me with so much excitement and emotion. This game deserves to be called a masterpiece. 20/10

    Stunning visuals, fast paced combact and a bunch of content for days of playing. This game blew my expectations out the roof. Great story, a bunch of lore and amazing characters. This is sure the best final fantasy mainline title game ive palyed in a very long time.

    Very good game , i loved the combat and the world design. The characters had life and emotion. The story is top notch. The only draw back would be a few hours in i hit a fun wall , but I keep going only to come out with a story/ending to the game. Its a real FF piece. Top 5 of FF games.

    I haven't played all final fantasy games only a fraction of them (7,10 and the sequels,12,13,15), but I have to say this is their best work and the influence from a lot of other studios shows, I can easily recommend this game to any fan without any doubt.

    Great game. Awesome story and beautiful visuals. The complaints about gameplay can be valid but I feel like its overblown. Once the other Eikons are unlocked, combat opens up. There are some broken combos that destroy enemies health bars but bosses still take time.

    Everything about this game is near or at perfect. The story and characters are interesting, mechanics are simple yet fun, music is hype, and the Eikon battles are just something else entirely. People will talk about some of the fights in this game for years.

    A very different Final Fantasy than previous numbered entries which makes this an action game first and RPG second. The story kept me hooked and I was always looking forward to the next combat encounter. What a great entry in the series and would highly suggest you give it a try if you are into action games.

    While this game is a significant departure from the traditional formula, it's still a really good action rpg with numerous challenging bosses, interesting characters, and the story is quite the spectacle. It's definitely a better game than 14, that's for sure.

    If you're going to play a RPG this year, this should be on your shortlist of choices. It's probably one of the best games I've played so far this year in a really stacked year for games. Music, art style, graphics. I'm having a blast with Final Fantasy XVI

    If you're looking for something to grind at, this game will take hours and hours to beat. A little dull gameplay but the variety of attack combinations keep the game interesting. A lot of gameplay and a lot of story.

    Loving the more streamlined approach to a FF game. The pacing of story and combat to bring the series along with a more modern approach was nailed with this one. Definitely more of an action game than traditional RPG. Story has plenty of jaw-dropping moments.

    Final Fantasy XVI is a triumphant addition to the legendary series, blending a gripping narrative with exhilarating gameplay. The game's world is richly detailed, offering a perfect blend of fantasy and realism that captivates from the start. Combat is both challenging and rewarding, with a system that's easy to grasp but hard to master, providing depth for seasoned gamers. The characters are wonderfully crafted, each with a compelling backstory that adds emotional depth to the journey. The graphics are stunning, making every scene a visual feast. The soundtrack, as always, is exceptional, enhancing the epic atmosphere. Square Enix has outdone themselves, delivering an unforgettable experience that both longtime fans and newcomers will cherish.

    Great game so far. I have played about 10 hours and this new take on a final fantasy game is fun. The story is interesting and has me hooked. There are accessibility settings/ in game accessories that make this game playable for most if not all gamers.

    Final Fantasy with a hollow feeling

    As someone who has played this franchise for over 30 years. I can honestly say that there are high points and there are low points, the quality is consistent. Make no mistake, however, the biggest issue is the singular fact that you can only play a singular character. This feels less like a group of individuals going on a long almost Gothic like journey and more like a group of people supporting one individual instead of working together as a team. Most bosses, you can't even fight with a group. The setting in the world is highly detailed, but the color palette is very flat or what many would consider washed out, that doesn't mean the game in any way looks terrible. In fact, it's quite the opposite, but the setting is bleak, which fits the esthetic. But you just do not feel like you're playing a game. That's meant to be single player with only one controllable character. This may be an R, p, g, but it feels more like a long format version of games like devil may cry.

    This game has changed my opinion of the Final Fantasy series. It has so much inspiration from Game of Thrones and I’m here for it!!! A much darker game, no turn base system and the way they incorporate the lore of past games is amazing. GOAT game
