This game took a little bit for me to warm up to it, except for the aesthetic and lore which felt like it was made directly for me lol. But after many hours I found myself just wanting to explore more which a good metroidvania should do. However, as an avid hater of franchises like Mega Man cause of the cheap platforming sections, and the gameplay in general leaving a lot to be desired, this game falls short of being what I'd consider great, Overall 7/10 if I take into consideration how much I like the aesthetic, but without that it's just a good game that I probably won't revisit.

Original rating for this game was a 2/10, and I never wanna give a game too much credit for coming out broken or lacking content, but they have done a good job in fixing this one and whilst I still dont see it as a masterpiece or even an amazing game I think it is now a good one. Since 2.0 I've seen very little bugs and the leveling has been improved a lot.

FFXVI is a very good game, but certain things hold it back from being a masterpiece. Combat, most of the story, music and visuals are amazing but some parts of the game feel extremely dated like the side quests and exploration in the world reminded me I don't want square to go anywhere near an open world game. A lot of the crafting in the game just kind of felt pointless as well, I found myself with plenty of coin and materials and pretty much nothing to do with any of it, overall 8/10 a return to form for mainline FF's but also a step backwards in a few ways. I wish to revise my review and drop it to a 6/10 didn't even realise this game had no Cactuar's or Tonberry's.
