Just came here to say that the Titan Eikon battle is literally worth the £65 I spent on this game alone, I hope this game can stick the landing because its been nothing short of phenomenal so far, also Soken is a literal god. Review in progress 4.3/5.0

UPDATE REVIEW
So I beat the game and I can pretty confidently say that the only thing holding this game back from being nearly perfect is it's linear level design and lack of a hard mode for first the playthrough. Overall the game gets so many things so right that it easily overshadows any of the negatives would attribute to it, the story is epic and emotional with a big focus on world building and relationships between characters.
The gameplay is basically devil may cry mixed with FFXIV, it's extremely flashy and feels really satisfying to master, it's also a very versatile system that allows players to customise the way that they want to play and engage fights, with around 40+ different Eikonic abilities to pick from and 7 Eikonic feats which range from absolutely broken to pretty decent.

Enemy variety is a big positive in FFXVI the game has an absolute ton of mini boss enemies all with multiple variations each and lots of smaller enemies to style on to your hearts content, FFXVI may have the best suite of boss battles ever within a video game the sheer variety of fights here is astounding and every single one is masterfully scored by Masayoshi Soken.

Overall FFXVI is a true departure from the tried and true Final Fantasy formula but its one that absolutely payed off.
4.45/5.0
