extremely happy to have been into ff around the time a new mainline game drops. 16 really doesn't disappoint, it's a technical and mechanical masterpiece with fantastic combat intertwined with a pretty compelling narrative. this game is probably as "next-gen" as it gets. they throw out a seemingly nonstop barrage of some of the coolest bosses ever paired with some of the craziest gameplay scenarios I've played. these eikon fights are honestly the highlight. and that ending.....oooohhhhhh




(female character writing generally leaves a lot to be desired and the side quest design feels a little too MMOy and time wastey but its complicated because theres still nuggets of great stuff in there on both accounts...)


and thus did our journey end.
