Final Fantasy XVI

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.

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.

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.

Lo mejor: el prologo, las primeras horas, el OST, los graficos y escenas, y algunos pjs. Lo que pasa es que el combate es muy flojo para un juego de +70hs, y despues de la hora 30 ya aburre. La historia que empieza enganchando mucho decae. Le falta mas escencia de RPG, no hay afinidades, magias, sistema de equipamiento relevante, incluso las estadisticas son sin importancia, resulta ridiculo tener habilidades elementales que a fin de cuentas hacen todos el mismo tipo de daño contra cualquier enemigo.

Trame narrative : 7.5 / 10 Visuel : 7.5 / 10 Système de combat : 8 / 10 Univers : 7.5 / 10 Originalité : 5.5 / 10 Note globale : 7.2 / 10

Good narrative/story/scenes, but Bad gameplay: - terrible combat - zero exploration - awful sidemissions

It’s pretty lame. Had not picked up a game since final fantasy 13. This game just coddles you too much, I thought I chose the hardest setting to play on and even then it seems like the enemy’s never even get my health down to half. It’s also just a bunch of pressing ️️️️️occasionally ️ and L1 to dodge. That’s it. Super lame, no strategy needed. Just simple timing and button smashing threw the entire game. And omg they talk soooooo much they just talk and talk and talk. It’s like watching a lame movie and I’m forced to be a part of it. The game it just too simple, I think it’s for little kids. I’m 30
