This is my game of the year. I know my way around ye old Final Fantasy and my hype for this game in the pre-release was beyond massive and I am glad to say that it didn’t disappoint. The combat is beyond fun, it is quite honestly a masterclass in the Hack N Slash genre. You are given so many options to choose from with the different Eikons you can acquire from the aerial set up of Garuda, the area control that Odin can give you, and the set ups that can come from Phoenix and Ifrit’s abilities. The Eikon fights are some of the most hyped things in all of not only Final Fantasy but in gaming period with top notch music to accompany them. The story of XVI is one that I will never forget with its themes on human nature. The villain is one you don’t meet till after the first third of the game, but when you look back his presence has been there since Clive awoke Ifrit. I adore this game and I hope that one day I can make a video that can explain everything that I feel about this masterpiece.
