Finally, the PS5 has one game...and it's a damn good fucking game. Just having completed the game an hour ago, I must say, I am speechless and will write a full essay once I have beaten the harder game mode, as I will need some time to digest this mountainous journey. For now though, it is an easy recommendation for anybody who owns a PS5. Of course, there's still hiccups here and there, but none of those hiccups take away from my rating. The amounts of times this game took my breath away and left my jaw on the floor is unreal. Not even halfway through the game, you would encounter enemies that may as well be the final boss for other action RPGs.

Several of the boss fights left me in hysterics. Raw emotion took over me as I witnessed some of the best boss fights I've seen since Asura's Wrath. This is it. These are the battles my younger self would daydream about in 6th grade English class. Wearing an earbud hidden from teacher's view, I would blast away "epic orchestral battle music" as my imagination renders series of frantic colors and flashes. Two blurred, hazy characters dueling to the death in an arena ruined by their onslaught of magical strikes. These battles had no meaning. Those characters had no faces nor names. Yet, it still captivated me all the same.

Final Fantasy XVI are those daydreams brought to life. A video game that felt like its hand-tailored just for me. From combat to the music to the story. Felt like everything I ever wanted a video game to be and one I wish to see more of. I do want to become a game developer one day. I do want to create stories of my own and host battles of galactic proportions. Even if I don't though, I'm glad to live in a world where Final Fantasy exists.
