It’s a good game although the live action fighting style is growing old. The FF games are starting to blur together along with other similar style games. I wish they would bring back turn-based combat. Graphics are beautiful.

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 story is fantastic, the grapics are amazing, and the boss battles are huge jaw dropping action packed set-pieces. The only downside to this game is how easy it is. No options to remove quest markers or any HUD elements, no difficulty settings, crafting items isn’t really that in-depth, and generally the enemies and bosses don’t offer significant challenges.

Final Fantasy 16 is a great game all around I really like the boss fights and the combat to this game easy and fun probably my favorite amongst fighting games, very good visuals and I was locked into the game story from the jump.

Great story, amazing visuals, fun combat, but clunky frame rate kept me from giving five stars.

This installment is definitely worth playing! The action and the story are compelling and engaging. I can’t remember the last time I’ve played a Final Fantasy game and just wanted to keep playing from beginning to end. I love the faster-paced combat. The creators experimented with making changes that were worth it.

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.

I star to play the game just 2 days ago but the game so far so good with and interesting story to enjoy and a game play the does the job it remained me of god of war original with a mix of ninja gaiden really good combination

I have been a huge Final Fantasy fan since FF3 for the SNES. I pre-ordered FFVII in the 90s and got the t-shirt. Over the years there have been hits and misses. When the first trailer for 16 dropped I has apprehensively hopeful. When the demo dropped I decided I was going to get it but would wait. Then my wife surprised me with it as a Father's Day present. This game is gorgeous. I love the new combat style. I can make it easy if I want (no thanks). It is decently difficult without being too souls like. The graphics and sound are superbly crafted. The story is really good, I actually feel connection with the characters. It is far more mature than other entries in the franchise, but lets face it, most of the die hard fans are much more mature than they were when Final Fantasy 3 first released in the US. This game is a great entry for veteran Final Fantasy fans. Would highly recommend!

A gripping story lined with excellent gameplay, combat, characters, and graphics. Definitely a worthy entry in the Final Fantasy series and definitely worth more than just a single playthrough. I've been having a blast with playing this title.

This game convinced me to get a PS5. Within 5 minutes, the story is much better than Final Fantasy XV. It was clearly developed by the same people who did Final Fantasy XIV and a some of the gameplay elements from XIV did transfer to this game. Although that prologue...oof, they really earned that M rating. Let's just say they got a bit of inspiration from the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the DMC-style of gameplay, but it's fine for me. Although, don't be surprised of your thumb starts cramping after battling for 30-minutes and mashing the square button to attack. If you liked playing any of the DMC games, this will be right up your alley. I'm a long-time fan of this series, and I can say this could be one of the best main series FFs since XII.

Given this is a Final Fantasy main entry it is going to be held to a higher standard, that being said, it is a good game with very high production value that shows in the presentation but the game is very much "on rails" which leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to freedom to explore and customizing your experience. FF 16 is a game that very much holds your hand and leads you where it wants you to go. The combat is flashy but lacks deep customization, very minimal, linear and boring loot, equipment and skill/stat customization The story is pretty good but lacks the array of memorable party members that older FF games had (20+ years ago) and it is a very linear playthrough with uninspiring side quests although some of the rewards for completing them are significant. I feel like I want to give this game 3 stars because it is not what I want or expect from a FF game, but it is still a good game if you take it for what it is. Which is a story driven "on rails" game that is all about presentation with gameplay and character customization as an after thought.

Final Fantasy XVI follows the gut wrenching story of Clive Rosfield, a prince born with the ability to use magic. Sworn in as a knight to protect his younger brother, Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix. While the story telling in Final Fantasy XVI is both heartbreaking and beautiful, the combat takes a page from Final Fantasy XV's book and ditches the tride and true turn based style for a real time combat system. While solid and firm, the control options take some time to get used to. But with many controller layout options and some customizing, you'll be able to find the right fit for you. With a captivating story and a cast of well written characters, Final Fantasy XVI is a great addition to the main stay series from Square Enix and is a fantastic journey from beginning to end.

The game story is amazing, visually with the music for each place and battle is just so beautiful makes you just want to stop at a place close your eyes and listen. Highly recommend this amazing game if you a ps5 owner.

Captivating world with lots of action. Good combat similar to DMC and tons of amazing boss fights. Thrilling story and awesome music.

Great game. Fighting style is similar to FFXIII-3 with 1 player rotating between 3 different styles. Overall story line is immersive and interesting. Side quests are hit and miss but as always, they are necessary to obtain better items.

Final Fantasy XVI is a visual treat for the eyes and ears. The combat is more streamlined and the story is engrossing. The summons are epic and the characters are relatable. I highly recommend this game!

A terrific modern take on a beloved franchise. The graphics, and music are the best I have seen on the PS5 and the story and Final Fantasy nostalgia make this a must play for every fan of the series.

Great music, fun battles, and a interesting story. Definitly feels like the FF14 team got to make a bid budget single player game. Gameplay feels like a mix of the FF7Remake and Devil May Cry action gameplay.

Final Fantasy XVI is a wonderful experience. Everything that you would expect from a Final Fantasy game brought to the modern era. I really recommend it if you have a PS5. It does have some issues though. Firstly the side quests are a little dull for the most part. The ones that stick out are fantastic, but for the most part they are pretty boring fetch quests. While the boss battles are epic, they tend to drag a bit. I swear you’ll spend 15-20 minutes fighting a dude in the middle of the game. Sure it adds to the gravity of the battles, but I personally felt like it was a bit too much. There were some frame rate issues especially when rendering things in the distance. It shouldn’t actually get in the way (it never did for me) but it’s definitely noticeable at times. I would say out of 100, it’s a 92. It does have flaws, but they aren’t major enough to get in the way if you aren’t a completionist or a perfectionist.
