Final Fantasy XVI is an excellent game in every way. If you're a fan of the series for the stories and characters, you won't go wrong here, and if you've avoided the series for, say, turn-based combat, the sixteenth installment offers the perfect opportunity to get started with this legend of the gaming industry. [Issue#329]
Final Fantasy XVI melds the best of the series’ themes with a modern, malleable take on combat—creating a heartrending, generation-defining tale of revenge, fate, and freedom.
Why is this game a 10/10? There are many things that do not convince me about this video game, for example the combat system, which, although entertaining, is not at all what one would expect from a title in the Final Fantasy franchise. The combat system is more typical of a Hack and Slash type video game, where also like Hack and Slash it is not the best either, it is worse than any Devil May Cry in that sense. Furthermore, the group combat system is simply non-existent, you play with Clive, the protagonist, and the others are characters that accompany you doing their things but you can't even control them properly, or raise their skills or anything, they are simply companions but the game It only revolves around Clive as far as battles are concerned.Clive's stats are a meaningless thing either, when you level up in combat after gaining experience, certain stats go up, but they are not relevant to anything in the game at all. They do not care. You can finish the game by hitting the "Square" button all the time. There are also no equipment restrictions by level, for example you cannot equip a sword because your strength is level 24 and you need to be level 26 to wield it. So the character's stats are completely **** relation to the main story, which would be the most important part of the game, I personally liked it. I find the story quite entertaining, very Game of Thrones style. And at this point it may be the only one where it is still a Final Fantasy, that story where when a cinematic appears your hair stands on end.I found the game very entertaining and enjoyable, although that was not exactly what I was looking for. I would have liked it more if it had been a little thicker, in the sense of elaborating a little more on the increase in the characters' abilities, etc... But within what it offers, it is very entertaining and amuses me, which is **** music is something highly acclaimed in the video game and the soundtrack sounds phenomenal.
Game level design in my opinion is poorly designed. Every single stage you go through despite looks amazing and beautiful it is just like a corridor where you go from one point to another and you kill some enemies. They could have learned a bit from FromSoftware games in terms of level design, I don't know, different doors or ways to go that you don't feel like walking a straight line all the time. The "Cities"... They are not cities, they are villages maximum... Where are the cities in this game where you can speak with people, discover things, read lore of the game in some items... I don't know, to play some role game. They're just some bunch of secondary missions and one store or sometimes not even a store, they don't sell you anything, why is that? That leads me to the Secondary missions point in this game, they are just crap. Seriously, if your secondary missions are "Go there and kill wasps and come back I pay you" just dont put it in the game. They are 100% unnecessary and don add anything to the game.
Final Fantasy’s first crack at pure action-RPG combat plays exceptionally well, and has the worldbuilding and cinematic flair to ensure that you’ll want to push through even the occasionally bloated encounter.
Nothing short of a technical marvel, Clive Rosfield and Torgal are among some of the best character action duos and their 70-hour epic adventure across Valisthea will forever be remembered in Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy XVI is a fantastic adventure, but slightly irregular. There are some aspects that prevent it from being on the podium with the best entries in the franchise, but, when it is over, it leaves a great aftertaste that makes you forget about those imperfections.
Final Fantasy 16 is a massive game that, in many ways, feels like a response to years of rocky terrain. This is one of the most beloved series in gaming, but one that has had big ups and downs, especially in recent memory.
Final Fantasy XVI delivers on the “action” side of its action-RPG formula. A fierce and fast-paced combat system makes for the series’ most exciting stab at real-time swordplay yet, while its blockbuster Eikon fights rank among some of gaming’s most awe-inspiring battles. But there’s a general flatness surrounding those exhilarating highs, as shallow RPG hooks and dated design leave a promising evolution for the series stuck in the past.
as a fan of the devil may cry seires i loved the cobat macanics in this game. while it may not be as in deapth as the comabat was in devil may cry 5 it was still a worthy play
Ayant détesté final fantasy 15 et n'accrochant plus vraiment avec la saga final fantasy depuis le 12eme épisode, à l'exception du 14. J'appréhendais un peu ce 16eme opus. Mais le retour d'un univers médiéval et sachant que Yoshida était à la baguette, j'ai décidé de lui laisser sa chance.
Au final (fantasy lol), j'ai apprécié le jeu, graphiquement c'est beau, certaines cinématique sont coupés le souffle et sont d'un épique, comme on n'en voit rarement. L'histoire est prenantes et on a envie de savoir comment cela va se terminer.
Le seul point noir pour moi et c'est un gros point noir, qui à failli me faire lâcher le jeu,c'est le système de combat,auquel je n'accroche pas du tout. Fan de Devil May Cry vous adorerez sûrement, mais ce n'est pas pour moi.
Même si le gameplay est une part très importante du jeu, je lui met quand même un 7 car l'histoire à su me tenir en haleine, malgré quelques longueurs.
I loved the story and the characters, the main questline really immersed me. the only thing bothering me, were repetitive sidequests.
I started a new game + in final fantasy mode for a challenge, and liked it even more.
Worst action game released by Square in the last three generations of consoles.
FF16 gameplay is only qte and cinematics every 5 minutes. And even the general art direction is generally flat, boring, monothematic and ultimately generic.
One of the weakest final fantasy games even in the story department
Good:
Some summon fights
Bad:
Character design (plain, boring)
Quests: feels like ai generated quests and dialogues a constant skip, reach mark on the map, go back
Decent combat system but super repetitive in mid-end game
