FINAL FANTASY XVI

This game is a SLOG. It's a very different formula than the Final Fantasy games that came before it, and it feels more like an action game. There's very little RPG, or even.. game, for that matter. It feels like 75% of the game is a cutscene, story battles included. Unless you're a die-hard Final Fantasy lover, skip it. And even if you are, just watch the 20 HOURS of cutscenes instead because it's practically the same as "playing" the game.

The combat is very fun, and the story is interesting, but my biggest issue with the game is that it runs like garbage. (Specs below) I *had* to run this game at 1080 to get a stable framerate during testing. I decided to just make it work on 1440, but with my specs, it should not be running at 30-40fps, with stutters, on 4k. Mods helped, but it's not a valid contribution to sway my recommendation.

(画面のライティングが)暗く(テーマだけは)重い怪獣映画＋アクションゲーム テーマだけは重いが、そのテーマが重くなる要素を全部スキップして安易な解決に直行するのはある意味大人向け。 最初の10時間ほどは取れるアクションの択がなくたたかう連打ゲーになりがち＆ムービー過剰でほぼ操作できないため、そこを耐えると「とりあえず遊べるアクションゲーム」が始まる。序盤で投げるのはもったいないが、耐えるだけの価値があるかというと微妙なところ。

Um dos piores ports que já vi para PC, se você tem uma placa de 8GB saiba que vai sofrer e muito para rodar esse jogo. E o impressionante que os travamentos desse jogo não ocorrem nas batalhas e sim na transição de cenários, principalmente na troca de capítulos e quando volta pro esconderijo. E o pior que pra corrigir isso é necessário fechar e abrir o jogo, nem voltar pra tela inicial resolve. Minha placa é uma RX7600, acima do recomendado deles na página, e não tá tankando nem o low. Só compre se tiver um pc da Nasa.

Try the demo and then switch to playing whatever thing that first pops into your head it feels like its ripping off instead and you'll probably have a better time.

I've played Final Fantasy games my whole life, and this one is one of my favorites. FFXVI encapsulates what Final Fantasy is all about- taking the series to bold new directions while paying homage to the series origins. This time, Final Fantasy molds Devil May Cry-esc gameplay with a ~50 hour story full of political drama and some of the most memorable characters the series has ever seen. I don't say this lightly- this is the most hype videogame I've ever played. The fights can be so insane it literally made my jaw drop. Some of the best boss fights I've ever experienced in a video game. I think what I respect the most about FFXVI is that it had a vision, and it stuck with that vision and it executed it wonderfully. It knows what it wants to be, and it's awesome. Give it a try.

I don't know what the hell I just played, seriously. Not one character sparked any real interest. It's a few months after the fact and I couldn't tell you anything meaningful about them. This isn't final fantasy. I can recount damn near everything about 5,6,7,8,9, X, hell even X2! But this game? Not one memorable moment, not a single dialogue I cared to read, there wasn't a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good thing about this I could say, not one. A hundred hours ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wasted on this garbage release. The entire game was boring, no depth, "bland" is an overstatement of the main cast and I could have gotten everything that was "good" from the trailers. The voice acting sucked, no emotion whatsoever, no sense of urgency. Literally zero things about this game kept me coming back. I couldn't skip dialogue fast enough! Stop turning my beloved franchise into a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ show Square, you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dolts. I'd rather put my ♥♥♥♥ in a meat grinder than suffer through this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slop again. I don't know how anyone can get through it. FF7 remakes: Fail FFXVI: Fail You might actually be a real life idiot if you think this is a good game worthy of it's namesake. Keep on stacking up the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ losses Square. I don't know who it is letting this ♥♥♥♥ out the gate, but they need to be replaced.
