Just utterly embarrassing.
Final Fantasy 16 at its core is a solid action game that tries to rival Asura's Wrath in terms of spectacle, Devil May Cry 5 in terms of style and Stranger of Paradise with its customizability. Yet at the end of the day it fails to surpass any of them and ends up being a poor imitation.
It's a game that's way more invested in being an MMO than an action game as most of your playtime will be wasted on doing meaningless fetch quests and any meaningful side content is drowned out with a whole swarm of awful side missions.
It's such a massive shame too, because this game had every opportunity to be phenomenal (if we ignore the blatant sexism).
