  This review is about the edition: Standard

  It is a powerful title with a nice plot that drags on in some points with indifferent quests, fortunately they don't last long though. In combat, it is very close to Devil May Cry, giving it an epic feel in several moments. Overall, I easily recommend it, especially now that its price has dropped

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  Having spent quite some time since I played it and having seen the game enough and played the DLCs, I decided to write my opinion. I closed around 120 hours doing two playthroughs, one on normal and the other on hard, but skipping the cutscenes, also getting the platinum along the way. Initially, it is a quite linear game in style, mainly based on the story it has to tell, which is why there are many cutscenes and it starts slowly, giving time for the characters and the story to breathe. At first glance, someone might compare it to Game of Thrones, perhaps rightly so because it starts somewhat like the first season of the series, but around 5 hours in and a little before the prologue ends, the game takes a 180° turn and it is and always will be Final Fantasy with some elements from GoT but only to a certain extent. The tone of the story is quite serious for the series' standards, as many, even though they had serious elements, were more teen-friendly, not that this isn't, but it is more mature for ages over 16, I would say. The production team drew elements from the 40+ years of the series, wanting to show the love they have for the series. I have not played a third of the series, but seeing what is inside and how it is structured, I understood the passion that the team had for the series that many of the developers grew up with. I have not played 14 and I did not have the hype for this particular title, I got it after a discount and the good words I heard from people I know and I did not regret it. Now the gameplay is mainly action as the combat resembles more Devil May Cry and Platinum games (logical because people from these teams worked on the battle system) but to some extent I would describe it as more simplistic compared to those. It gains more depth as the player unlocks more abilities but do not expect huge differences, the whole battle system focuses on developing the stagger meter, something that was in Final Fantasy 13 and the Remake/Rebirth, by raising the meter the player manages to increase the damage to the enemy for a short period of time. Its music is truly exceptional and I found the voice acting wonderful, a lot of good work was done even on secondary NPCs, there are honest voices. The Eikon Battles are the selling point of the game, they are really well-made and top-notch in spectacle scenes. I deducted one star because there are things that I had issues with and I would like the team to improve them if they make a new single-player game. The side quests are very simplistic, following an MMO logic and mainly exist to build the world of the game. The difficulty of the game even on normal was quite easy, I had to, on the contrary, the DLCs show exactly how it should have been in terms of difficulty because compared to the main story, they have more challenge. The hard mode really gives that extra something and I would say that it should have been unlocked from the beginning of the game. The absence of companions initially bothered me because I would like to at least be able to command them to attack at the moment I want, like in Mass Effect, and not just have the moves based on AI. The absence of RPG elements I would not say bothered me very much, but it is the core of the series, so I understand the fans here, it is quite simplistic with just weapon, armor, and item changes that give additional statistics. In general, I found the game to be excellent. I wouldn't describe it as a perfect game, but it is a very good game. The performance mode had some issues and I hope they will be fixed in the future. Finally, the DLCs are worth more when discounted or as part of the future complete edition. Seeing that the studio had dealt with and saved FF14 for ten years, I saw it as a very good first attempt in single player. If I were to rate it as a game with all the DLCs, I would give it a 9/10, otherwise it's an 8.5/10. Playing it made me want to return to a franchise and play some of its games that I had been saying for quite some time that I wanted to play, but back then it was just words, now I'm putting it into action.

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  Unfortunately, it is a very mediocre game with a relatively decent story (there is no virgin birth anywhere guys, don't make comparisons) and good graphics in specific points to emphasize, not universally. If I dare to compare it with other action games of this generation, with other RPGs of this generation and even more so, with older titles of this legendary series... I might even give it a 5.

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  Guys, the game is a purebred 9/10. It has a lot of passion, a lot of details, music, graphics, etc. It's extremely well done. It's the first time I play an FF game and it doesn't have that silly Japanese vibe. It's more mature, like a mix of Game of Thrones and Final Fantasy Tactics. I hope this approach to the storyline stays as we grow up... The battles are more action-oriented, like Devil May Cry, not that Persona style with choices. The only thing I felt was a bit easy, but in New Game Plus, you unlock the hard mode

  This review is about the edition: Steelbook

  One of the best FF games. The hype was huge with its trailers.
  - The battles with the Eikons, our beloved Summons, are by far the best I have ever played in games in general. I have replayed the stages just for the boss fights with the Eikons....!!!!!
  - Engaging and interesting story, you become attached to the characters.
  - Fantastic performances.
  - The gameplay strongly resembles Devil May Cry and I am glad that Square Enix turned it into pure action and not turn-based. Turn-based was innovative for the 90s and 00s, but it has been surpassed.
  - Beautiful graphics.
  - Amazing soundtrack.
  The one star I deducted is divided into two parts and I will explain:
  - Boring side quests, they have nothing interesting.
  - The RPG elements lack depth.

  This review is about the edition: Steelbook

  I have played almost all, if not all, of the Final Fantasy games. This particular one made me remember why I loved this franchise. I don't hate like many do the 13 and 15 (On the contrary, I love Lightning's Return and 15). However, the 16 made me adore it, whether it's the lore, the world that reminds me a lot of The Witcher at the beginning, or the incredible soundtrack! What can I say, this game kept me hooked until the end. The turn-based combat mode may have been completely lost, but those are personal preferences. Personally, I like the turn-based style, but I didn't fall in love with Final Fantasy just because of that. As for the duration that some complain about, it's definitely not as long as The Witcher or Horizon, but the duration is still satisfying! At least, for me, it's better for them to invest in fewer but higher quality side quests rather than repetitive go-kill-return quests (although, to be honest, that's how the side quests in this game are). Another negative aspect is the quite poor equipment accessories part, etc. However, overall, Square Enix presented a nice piece of work that was what we loved!

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  The writer is a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, as it is his favorite game series that has given him wonderful moments, stories, and emotions in fantastic worlds. As a fan of the RPG genre in general, and as a dedicated player of the MMORPG FFXIV, which the team is behind the development of XVI, this particular game was one of the two most anticipated releases for me this year, along with Baldur's Gate 3, and it is also the reason why I bought a PS5. So, was it worth the wait?

  For TL;DR purposes, I will mention now that the game overall is worth it, it met most of my expectations, and I had a great time. It is not a perfect game, some elements could have worked better, but it lays a good foundation for the return of the single-player mainline games in the series, after many years of missteps. And that's why I chose to write these impressions now, when to some extent, the hype I had has faded, as I have completed it.

  Gameplay and mechanics:
  Perhaps the most "divisive" aspect of the title and the one that definitely influences the opinion of most people. Personally, although I am a fan of turn-based games, I don't mind action combat in general, so I will judge it for what it gave me as an action game. I was very satisfied with the combat. Although it seems quite repetitive at first, as the player progresses, they unlock more and more abilities with the acquisition of eikons (summons). Each eikon has different skills and focuses on a different playstyle (e.g., Titan is more defense-oriented, Odin is more speed-oriented), and in the active build, the player can have up to 3 active eikons. The ability points are not enough to acquire all the abilities, so the player is called to choose the way they prefer to play more and also to experiment, as there is the possibility for respec without limitations. Although the game is relatively easy, this does not mean that it can be completed mindlessly spamming the attack button, and the use of dodges and all the basic battle mechanisms is important. In other words, the more one experiments, the more depth they observe in the battle, regardless of the difficulty level. However, it would be ideal if the Final Fantasy mode was unlocked from the beginning. Something that personally I do not agree with is the greater departure from the RPG element of the series. The automatic level up that raises all stats, the overly simplistic equipment system where you change equipment when "you see the number go up," the absence of customizable party members, and the lack of any character customization, apart from the choice of skills and eikons, are indications of the clear action-oriented direction of the title. Although the team had made it clear that this would be the direction of the title quite early on, personally I consider the departure from the RPG genre as a small flaw of the title for my tastes as a fan of the genre, as I believe it distorts some important elements of the series' identity. For this reason, personally, I do not consider this game as an action RPG, but as an action game with RPG elements. For a non-traditional fan of the series, this particular aspect may not even be a problem, as it does not make the game worse in any case. In any case, judging it for what it is, I believe the game manages well and the combat is 100% high-quality, polished, and enjoyable.

  Map and Questing:
  Final Fantasy XVI is not an open-world title and focuses on providing open areas for exploration as well as more linear dungeons (stages) that are not accessible from the map, only when the story requires it. Personally, as a title with the main focus on the central storyline, I agree with this choice as it eliminates a lot of unnecessary time wasting (which we have seen in many open-world games) and helps the player to focus where they should. The side quests in the game are a double-edged sword, as they unfortunately rely on the classic repetitive objectives that we usually see in most side quests in games, which can tire some players. However, they are an improvement compared to the more recent FF titles, as they provide fully voice-acted stories that develop the main NPCs with whom the player interacts and enrich the worldbuilding of the game. Personally, I recommend engaging with them, even if they may seem tedious at first, as I believe they greatly contribute to the overall narrative experience without disrupting the pace, as they are quite condensed in number and do not overcrowd the map in any way. The last optional feature of the game is some additional mini boss fights (hunts) for those who want more action, materials, etc., as well as some intense battles. However, from a certain point onwards, the patterns of these enemies repeat, so if someone does not fully master the battle system and does not want to acquire the best equipment in the game, it is better not to engage with them. In short, this specific section of the game is where the MMO nature and experience of the development team are most evident, with all the good and bad that entails.

  Story, Presentation, Artistic and Technical Aspects:
  To avoid spoilers, I will not extensively mention details of the story and will simply say that the game does not disappoint at all and ensures a complete, well-written, epic, and pure traditional Final Fantasy story (primarily of the pre-VII era) with all the elements and "clichés" that accompany it. However, everything is appropriately placed to serve the whole and harmoniously function. We mostly encounter well-written and fully fleshed-out characters, political power games, epic battles, and deities that fans of the series will be familiar with. Traditional and yet modern, the XIV team once again proves their skill in storytelling, while the technique and structure they use are the same: the game devotes enough time to build up to each climax. If someone desires constant action, they may not find it here, but this approach is necessary for the epic moments to properly impact the player. The overall presentation of the story also contributes to this, with spectacular cinematic cutscenes and chilling (English) performances. It is generally recommended to play with the English voices, as they were the original recording and embodiment of the characters, and they manage to fit perfectly with the game's setting. The game has several cutscenes that may tire those who are not accustomed to the series and to such story-driven games, but if the story and the world captivate you, you will be rewarded. This is also aided by the Active Time Lore, which is a feature where the player can access the game's lore at any time on the pause screen and read important information about the scene they are currently watching. However, the main story can be understood even without the use of ATL, which serves as an optional tool for those who desire further immersion in the current lore referenced in each scene. The sound design and music are at a very high level, with Soken delivering award-winning music that beautifully complements both the battles and the calm moments. In terms of technical aspects, although the overall performance is at a high level and the game remains comfortably playable, during the launch when I played it, there were some minor frame drops and stutters, especially in the performance mode, while the graphics mode had intense motion blur. Personally, I had the game on performance mode and did not encounter any serious issues, no lag or crashes, aside from some occasional frame drops that did not affect the experience. However, various patches have already been released that improve performance and provide the option to adjust or disable motion blur. Therefore, the game is already in a much better state than at launch, and I recommend it without hesitation for those who are interested.

  Conclusion:
  For me, Final Fantasy XVI is a highly commendable addition to my favorite game series. With a strong storyline and action gameplay, it is worth checking out for all fans of story-driven games, especially Sony first-party exclusives. It may not be perfect, and some gameplay and narrative choices may not please everyone, but along with the recent notable releases (XIV, VII REMAKE), it contributes its own piece to the return of the historic series with good and anticipated titles every year. For the loyal fans, see you in February and then in June!

  Pros:
  - Well-written and epic Final Fantasy story and characters with a beautiful love story and high presentation levels
  - Satisfying duration without overwhelming you with too much unnecessary content
  - Award-winning music and performances
  - Well-crafted, deep, and enjoyable battle system...

  Cons:
  -...slightly limited by the low challenge
  - The departure from RPG mechanics will disappoint fans of the series (including myself, obviously)
  - Side quests, although improved compared to recent titles in the series, still have a typical and shallow structure.
  - A mini-map would have been helpful, Square! But it's a minor flaw!

  I haven't played any other FF games, so I can't compare it. I understand that the change in gameplay may alienate hardcore fans. For me personally, this change was the reason I bought it. Now, if someone wants the deep RPG element, like FFVII, it's logical that they won't like it.

  Personally, I found it excellent. I rarely care about the characters in a game. Nice story, nice set pieces, well-written characters. I also played it twice to platinum it and I didn't get bored for a moment. Definitely one of the best on PS5 right now!

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  Graphics? Amazing in the style of Final Fantasy 7 remake. Visual spectacle especially in battles with Eikons. You have never seen so many visual effects in your life in a game with bosses. Beautiful landscapes from the worlds we encounter. Overall, a beautiful title.

  Gameplay: What can I write here. Initially, we are talking about a completely action game, of course with RPG elements. Fast-paced and amazing gameplay, especially when we encounter some Eikons. That's where the game shines. The title laughs at other games with bosses, as here it has over 100 regular bosses, plus the medium ones. We're talking about how they nailed it. Overall, it is a semi-open world. There are different worlds, not big ones, where you have freedom but with limitations. But definitely over 15 different worlds. And now let's get to the essence. The battles with Eikons. After playing the demo and the battle between Ifrit and Phoenix and being left speechless, we thought we had seen it all. Well, this battle is the most relaxed. What they did afterwards in the battles with Eikons, there will never be anything like it again. Bosses with a 45-minute visual spectacle that leaves you speechless with what the developers created. The effects on the screen, the scale of the Eikon bosses, will blow your mind.

  Story: They presented a 2-hour demo with a complete story, so we got the message. We're talking about a stunning story, definitely the best in Final Fantasy along with 7. Amazing ally characters, all important, all with a significant side quest, even the wolf has a story. You care about everyone and there are over 25 allies in the hideout. Of course, it also has quite a few boring side quests. The villains are also incredibly well-written. An amazing story with an awesome ending.

  Soundtrack: Here they nailed it as well. Could there ever be a similar soundtrack to Final Fantasy 7? And yet, yes. For me, it's among the top soundtracks of all time. Check out the themes Ifrit vs Phoenix and Find the flame. Those who have played the game will be flooded with memories.

  Overall: I definitely don't belong to the Square Enix fanbase, I have played and loved all of Sony's exclusives. However, Final Fantasy 16 easily surpasses them all. For me, it's the best game of my life. The story, the soundtrack, the gameplay, and especially the STUNNING battles with Eikons, place the game at the top of the top. A unique experience that, when it's over, you'll need a break to play something else.

  I love the FF series. NOT, however, the 16th one.
  The game in the videos looks extremely captivating. In short, what I didn't like:
  -Poor pacing, the main story lasts for 30 hours and 10 of those are cutscenes.
  -Uninteresting story with the main influence being Game of Thrones, which obviously falls short.
  -Repetitive with bad side quests.
  -Boring world with many random encounters.
  -Poor performance and mediocre graphics in some parts.
  -Music is mediocre to bad compared to previous FF games (except for 2-3 tracks).
  -MMORPG elements.
  -No party members.
  -No elemental damage.
  -Boring hack and slash without combos, without challenge.

  In the end, I would describe it as a mediocre AAA title that does not respect the name and the FF series.
  Nevertheless, someone who is new to the series might find it interesting.

  I generally didn't like the Final Fantasy games, but this particular one is EXCEPTIONAL. The music, in particular, is amazing. The gameplay is good but repetitive... and the story seems quite interesting. I consider the battles with the bosses to be the best part.

  Unbelievable graphics, gameplay, and story. They nailed it!
  It's not an exaggeration to call it a truly next-generation game, a showcase of the power of the PS5.
  In every scene and battle, you are left with your mouth open. It has big cutscenes and relies heavily on its narrative.
  The only flaw in my opinion is the uninteresting side missions.
  However, even if you haven't been involved with the franchise, you shouldn't miss out on this one. Truly epic!

  The truth is that it is the first Final Fantasy game I have played and I cannot be objective with the title. However, it is the first game that I bought immediately after finishing the demo. I enjoyed the story and the character had background. The battle system is the best and I believe that the game has some epic moments like "accept the truth" and the battles with the dominant. I think you should give the game a chance, it will impress you with its story, graphics, and music

  I have always been a big fan of Final Fantasy. This particular one, however, I felt tired of quite quickly for the first time. The story didn't hold me like the others, but I still finished it normally. As for the deluxe edition, I would say it's worth the money 50/50.

  One of the best games of the year! Personally, it was unexpected. I read good comments about the demo and as soon as I tried it, I was sure about what kind of game it would be. This happens once in 10 years!

  The quality in the story and narration is exceptional!

  The gameplay is also fast and entertaining, even though I am only at 25% of the game (~18 hours). The boss battles are the best I have seen, until the next one.

  The only flaw is the ease, if I can say that for this epic. Do not compare it to the Souls games.

  Finally, the graphics and sound are easily rated with a 10 and I did not encounter any technical issues.

  This review is about the edition: Standard

  Square Enix returns with another Final Fantasy title that brings the action to a very dark FF, with a very interesting story, very good and improved combat, beautiful graphics and fantastic sound and music, the music truly gives it pain.

  I have had it for 4 days now, I am enjoying the game very much, it has very good elements, but it also has its negatives.

  In terms of negatives, I would say the performance needs work for those who want 60 fps, this mode in exploration drops the performance to around 50 fps, and in combat it stays steady at 60, which also lowers the resolution quite a bit to maintain the 60 fps.

  I am playing it on quality, I find it ideal and very enjoyable for this particular game because it offers a very cinematic experience with the eikons and the scenery it provides, I would recommend playing it there if you don't care as much about performance, which I hope they fix in a future update.

  Also, the lip sync in the Japanese voice is bad, there is no proper synchronization, which affects the experience of the Japanese voice acting.

  On the very positive side, the sound and music are amazing, flawless, as well as the English voice acting, which for the first time I would say is very close to the Japanese, usually Japanese performances are the only way to go in these games but here the English has become an excellent choice with great performances.

  Now it is an action RPG game that has implemented a very nice combat system with abilities and magic without worrying about MP.

  The atmosphere of the game is magical with very beautiful magical landscapes, I didn't expect anything different from a FF game.

  I would like to write more, but it will become too long and tiresome, an exceptional game that I recommend because you will have a lot of fun and enjoy it!

  The game is incredibly good, I bought it 2 days ago and I have to say it's amazing. I'm somewhere in the middle of the game and I have learned how it works. The graphics are very good, although in some parts they are a bit bad. The combat and the story of the game are unbelievable. You have a lot of powers to choose from and each one has its own style. Also, the story keeps you engaged in the game and makes you not want to stop. The boss fights are one of the best parts of the game and they have the most excitement, but in my opinion, I would like them to be a bit more difficult for hardcore players!

  Finally, the Final Fantasy that EVERYONE was really waiting for.

  While its story reminds of a classic FF, the way the game makes you get lost in it is truly incredible, whether you are a new or an old player. The best of the best. Worthy of its name, finally.

  Play the demo to understand for yourself, words are unnecessary, and even if you're not a fan of the series, you can still enjoy it with your eyes closed, as it doesn't affect the story

  If you are a fan of the series, just get it. If you like action games, just get it. You want to experience something epic, just get it. Type Soken in Google because you will be left speechless listening to the game's music and wondering who wrote it.

  From the demo alone, it seems very likely that it will be the best title in the series, reminiscent of Game of Thrones.

  After purchasing it, I have to say that the story continues with a lot of interest, the gameplay is entertaining but also a bit monotonous, I would say, and I am looking forward to completing it to give a more comprehensive update.
