Final Fantasy 16 was one of the games I was excited about when it was first announced. Especially since I got off the heels of FFXV and the FFVII remake. The game is more beginner friendly, as you can easily get into this game as it plays traditionally to an action RPG. The story, while out of place at some certain points, is still well written. The characters are great, and the writing is wonderful. The soundtrack composed by Masayoshi Soken might be one of the best soundtracks in the entire series in my opinion.

There are some gripes with the game, but they are mostly minor ones. I think the only big complaint I have with the game are the side quests as they are repetitive and doesn't have that much variety to them. But that seems to be a given for modern RPG's.

Despite these hiccups, I do think this is one of the best modern RPG's out there and I cannot highly recommend this game enough. Will definitely do a NG+ run of this game soon so I'm excited about it!
