FINAL FANTASY XVI

Muy brevemente: El juego es muy bonito (a veces), muy divertido (a veces) y muy espectacular (a veces). El final es un asco. No digo más para evitar spoilers.

masterpiece. 10/10 story

This game fulfills the concepts of fantasy and tragedy. I don't want to sound cliche, but the ideas the game explores - the nature of humanity and its existential threats, the concept of fate, the love and tragedies of following religion, and [spoiler]the struggles and inevitable endings of our heroes[/spoiler] - are things we have seen in stories many times. Yet, there is a reason why these ideas are constantly revisited. The creators of this game focus on how to retell them in their own fashion. I believe this game borrows concepts that shows and games like Game of Thrones and The Witcher presented to us. It examines similar principles - political conflicts, the unexpected downfall of a mighty kingdom, and an early ignored true enemy - but, dare I say, tells them in a fresh and special way. It is special perhaps because it is a game, but also because realizing these ideas never gets old. For someone who likes to dissect the philosophical meanings of God, choice, the unnecessary internal conflicts that distract us from the true problems, and the importance of human connections, the game managed to deliver these thoughts through heartfelt emotion and meaningful storytelling. Regarding side content, the sidequests were hit or miss. Most of them felt bland at the start, but progressing further, they definitely got better, though also predictable. A lot of quests were typical: a character has an internal problem, they can't face it alone or are afraid/conflicted, the main character comes in to help, you help them, then they realize their problem and change their perception. On paper, it doesn't sound bad, as it is the fundamental nature of humans and many characters in storytelling, but having so many of these quests makes it a bit repetitive. As for the combat, I believe it is somewhat peculiar. I honestly really enjoyed it, especially with the different types of abilities you can use to construct various builds. Yet, I found a huge problem with balancing, as some abilities are "broken," making other abilities obsolete and decreasing the variety of worthwhile builds you can create. But ignoring the builds and abilities, I can't deny how majestic the fights felt under specific circumstances. I have never felt shivers like this while playing a game; the battles are simply majestic, bundled together with the soundtrack and visuals. Speaking of the soundtrack, I can't emphasize enough how great it is. The tracks feel well crafted in regards to what the world and the game are. For me, it is definitely the highlight of the game and one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. One thing I hope, if someone reads this review, is that they do not make the same mistake I did - having an incorrect perception of what the Final Fantasy series is, as this game is so different and unique from all the other entries. Simply put it, fights are beautiful, story is epic yet at moments makes you want to cry, soundtrack is amazing.

通的第一个FF正作，通后只感觉被喂了坨大的，致命的是吃之前我看到的是一堆秀色诱人的大餐，吃的过程我也感觉很是美味，但吃完后被告知“ごめんなさい、排泄物から加工したものです。”这就是我唯一的感想。对于没玩过这作的新老玩家我不建议入。 同一时间入的7Remake和Rebirth，但我现在不敢玩了，没玩过旧作，怕被又喂坨大的。 我看FF就终结在XVI也挺好。

Absolute Cinema 10/10

awesome game, beautiful story, and in my opinion the best combat in the series its so slick and satisfying

就游戏而言，无论打斗还是演出都十分出色，如果说PS平台的500有点贵，那打折后的100倒是真的香，召唤兽的打斗场面我只能用“惊艳”一词来形容。但这游戏我认为最大的诟病在剧情，SE依旧恶趣味塞各种逆天冥场面，你要说18+游戏搞点血腥暴露没啥，但你那牛头人剧情是啥？最逆天的还是黄发小姐姐贝尼迪塔莫名其妙被人取首放男友面前，最后nm还杀人诛心强行“复活”上演牛头人，无敌了简直。游戏好玩但这波SE的恶趣味欣赏不来好吧~~~

Гра крашиться, неадекватна кількість катсцен, які більше дратують, ніж зацікавлюють. Пропускаєш їх - втрачаєш сюжет, дивишся - втрачаєш терпіння. Геймплей одноманітний і швидко набридає. Найгірше - що вже не можу оформити повернення

Frankly wasn't expecting much given the muted release. After possible the most harrowing into to a game I've ever experienced, the story continues to pull at the heartstrings. It's darker than any final fantasy since probably IV. The combat is a mash of 7 remake and 15. But I prefer it to both. Plays super smooth on a 4080 with DLSS. Not yet finished it, so can't judge the ending, but so far thoroughly enjoyed this. Frankly way more than I expected.
