A Frustratingly Terrible Eyesore.



I had high hopes for FFXVI as I thought the series would become good again after the inconsistent previous offerings, but guess I was wrong.

Granted it had it's excellent moments manly from the Kaiju like battle, but ultimately the game was a boring exercise.

Braindead repetitive gameplay, that lacks any depth.
Lackluster and boring characters that barely have any substance to speak off.
The MC is a edgy empty husk.
Suffers from severe performance issues to a point where it overheats your PS5 console.
Barely felt like a game as there was too much cutscenes for this game of thrones wannabe narrative.

In conclusion FXVI is a ambitious game that failed to meet expectations and execute most of it's ideas.
Barely felt like a Final Fantasy game, but more like a generic hack and slash game that you find in 7th gen.
A failure of a JRPG, 9th Gen and a action game.

I pray that Final Fantasy 17 won't be like this.

I knew I could count on you, you seem to be the only person (besides me) who can recognize when a really hyped game is actually pretty bad.
