FINAL FANTASY XVI

Game is fun even with the terrible RPG systems, but port is so bad. After installing a fan-made fix after a time skip, the game can randomly freeze in openworld combat and after starting the first few loads take longer than expected.

I was really hyped for it, and was excited to try it as I am a big final fantasy fan, unfortunately, this game is any other game, but worse. it is like a final fantasy, but worse than the rest. it is like a devil may cry, but worse. it is a JRPG/RPG, but worse. For starters, while the story is good, it is nowhere close the older FF games, and eikon battles, while flashy, do not make it a good game. The side quests are worse than MMO quests from 20 years ago, quality is so poor and rewards so bad, it is not fun to do - other final fantasy games did way better job with side content. Weapon/armor customization, crafting, loot is also piss poor quality, the game is stripped of any fun elements and elemental affinities are gone, buffing and debuffing is gone, magic is gone - every final fantasy ever had all of the above. The weapon is a sword, it has 2 stats - power and stagger and the weapon crafting and upgrading is story bound, same with hunt board - so you cant even really grind for the eq cuz u will get better items as soon as u beat the next boss in story. The combat is fun for first 5-10 hours, after that u realise it is also piss poor, pretty much no combos, non existent difficulty and enemies are damage sponges. i honestly do not get how they thought it was a good idea. Exploration is also non existent, there are a couple of chests or items on the maps, but the rewards are a joke - 14 gil, potion, n amount of (crafting material u already have 500x of), you can die of boredom. You also cannot sprint on your own, the game will make the character sprint if u run longer than 5 seconds - why????? just give us a button ffs. I wasnt able to finish the game as it lacked any remotely fun elements, eikon battles are kinda exciting but have no depth, combat gets boring really really quickly, im glad i bought it on discount cuz it is such a subpar game i would've refunded it if i knew it doesnt get better sooner. do not play, get yourself older FF,DMC or any rpg from last 5 years and youll have a better time.

OYNADIĞIM EN HAVALI ŞEY BU OYUN @MK

its really bingeable, the action is very fun and makes you have to think and unlocking new abilities and fighting bosses and mobs is really cool and fun and the storyline is also pretty good just the voices are really posh for the english ones so its annoying

First Final Fantasy Game for me. Missed it 2024, still in shock I never noticed it before yet. It is one of the most epic male hero storys I ever played. Clive is everything you miss from todays leaders. You will feel like the Fantasy Version of Aragorn. Just play it! Oh, and btw. the German Voice Acting is 10/10, like really.

a ver, es un buen juego, pero con muchas cosas que mejorar...entre otras, que después de 50 horas de juego por vender una espada que ya no usas, pierdas la oportunidad de hacerte la mejor espada del juego...que co****s??? a pesar de esas varias cosas es un final fantasy mezclado con un devil may cry, que puede salir mal?

The game doesn't turn into PIXEL SOUP as soon as you enter a battle like it does on PS5, and that in itself is worth a thumbs up. On a more serious note, a lot of the criticisms of this game are correct. It's very linear, a lot of the side quests are boring fetch quests, characters are often one dimensional, etc etc. Yet I can't help but like the game. It's wholly directed in service of spectacle, an often stunningly beautiful game (seriously, give whoever did the framing of the cut-scenes a raise) that despite having a simple plot and occasionally flat characters just has a certain flair that is enjoyable. The characters go through a lot, and it feels to me like a lot of this game's value lies in things that are left unsaid and in how things are presented rather than what happens. The game also bleeds that Final Fantasy feeling that has been missing since the PSX days (despite successfully cribbing ideas from Game of Thrones, God of War, and Devil May Cry), and so maybe it just hit me in those nostalgic feelings in a way that trumps any logical misgivings I might have about it. But if it was simply a case of that, I doubt it would have survived this second play through. Idk man, maybe I'm just glad to see a Japanese RPG nowadays that doesn't have characters going through puberty at the same time as they save the world. THUMBS UP FOR THAT.
