Even though I think it has some flaws, I still enjoyed my time with FF16. I also ended up getting all of the trophies. What does everyone else think? Did you enjoy it or was it disappointing to you?

It was mediocre. The story was bland and told a really tonedeaf depiction of slavery. There were SO many plot holes. And the ending was so stupid and cliche, the same ending they've had in every FF since 12 (15 was *supposed* to have the "Gods Bad!" ending trope, but the real ending got cancelled).


The gameplay was alright, but the lack of ability variety meant that the same tactics worked on all opponents and I was just doing the same thing over and over. Not to mention that only those few enemies with a will gauge actually posed a threat, 90% of the combat was spent fighting harmless cannon fodder enemies.

Honestly made me regret trusting Squeenix so readily when I should have known better.

Well, now I know not to buy it then!

It'd be a fine purchase at half price, imo.

It's not really my thing anyway tbh. I prefer the magitech-focused ones like 7, 12 and 15.

Fair. I'm kinda the same way. My favorite is 9, but I'm also a big fan of 6 and 12, both very Magitech-heavy.

Will tell when it comes out for PC some day I hope

I feel it's like the dark souls 2 of final fantasy. Great game but it doesn't feel the same as other final fantasy games

Even thought I haven’t played it yet, some friend tell me everytime the game by itself it’s complete difficult like if it’s a dark souls or sekiro which cause me a confusion

Gameplay-wise it's fun, but so far removed from any kind of RPG that it's basically just an action game with some numbers and stats. I think FF7 remake is the most "action" an action JRPG should get

Story-wise, it wasn't half bad, once it got past the sort of boring first part. I know the point was to make it more subdued to bring in people who aren't already into Final Fantasy, but Cid was the only thing keeping me going in the first quarter of it

I don't think a lot of its themes landed though. The stuff with bearers and slavery was really weak to begin with, and only gets worse towards the end. I don't think it'd have been so bad in a usual FF game, but the way it wants to take itself so seriously, it makes the flaws stick out even more

... Also Clive is hot

It's nowhere near the difficulty of Dark Souls or Sekiro. In fact, if you regularly play action games, you'll probably find it pretty easy in comparison. It's a big jump for people who don't normally play those kinds of games, though.

If I had to give the game a rating based on my experience I'd say that I'd give FFXVI an 8 out of 10. However, sometimes the the game feels like a 7/10 game and rarely even going to the 6/10 game territory.

While the story kept me interested, I can't deny that that there are some plot holes and story oddities that left me scratching my head.

The combat is enjoyable and it does open up steadily as you progress through the game. The actions are snappy and and I had rarely even moments when the camera freaked out. I also appreciate the synergy that abilities share. However, the game is too EASY! I'm talking like Kingdom Hearts 2 Standard difficulty easy. I would literally go into grandiose boss fights and notice that I barely had to use my potions. The late game bosses, however, felt challenging and some of the hunts were challenging.

The shopping mechanics in this game are awful. There's so many times when you find a merchants around the world....and they have nothing to offer.

The game looks great and is really well optimized. Plus, I think the soundtrack is strong. The large scale Eikon battles were also really well crafted and made me think that this feels next gen.
