“Once you’re at rock bottom, the only way forward is up. But the bottom doesn’t have to be all dark and gloomy. If you can stand and look up, you’ll see the light of hope there.”

I can't write a proper review to this since the moment that i'm writing this, i have finished the game so yeah. Taking a proper break from Yakuza for 8 months, it just geniuely feels worth it. A new battle system and a new protagonist, everything really goes fresh from start to end and finishing the chapter over and over and having a ton of fun by doing the sidestories just really had me with the fun of my life and on the end of my seat with endings of each one, the cast is just perfect everything goes to well to me and none of the interactions feels forced and geniuely had my laughs with the active voice.

RGG really did it for me and i can't wait to start the Judgment Duology and experience the final 2 Nagoshi games.

2 years since the first trailer of this game came out and honestly didnt care that much when it came out but after this year, this game picked my interest to try FF and tried OG FF7 and loved pretty much everything about it, especially the soundtrack itself.

I've been trying to dodge spoilers like crazy but now today i finished it and honestly i'm out of the words of how this game just blows my expectations and how much creativity in making eikon fights, or the straight forward story (which it's probably my favorite thing about this game) or the sidequests being really good, especially in the second half/endgame.

Final Fantasy 16 cast is one of the things that really feels alive to me especially going through their own struggles especially if you go through their sidequests and i'm honestly so glad that i did all of them, i've never saw a cast this consistent in a while. Shoutout to Torgal/Jill one cuz that one really broke my soul.

''Life is about having a choice. Take that away, and we might as well be dead.''

Final Fantasy 16 core being death, opression and hopelessness is so strong and you can geniuely tell the pain and the pure struggle to live in this world. The first hours in the game you can geniuely tell there's a inferiority with
Bearers(people with a mark) on their face or even outlaws and love it gets expanded the more you go through. Clive's story and getting tied with Cid later on showing their hardships of trying to restore a hope to a people that are oppressed and their conflict later in the game, i love how you go through this path you can see how hopeless it is especially to even try. The writting seems delicate and sometimes very bold especially Clive's character arc which is one of my favorite things about this game, it's so good seeing a character that grows in this journey and feels very mature and endearing.
I've always seen the potential of this character but it got to the point that i was so amazed of how simple good Clive is.


Either way, i'm glad that i have played this game blind and barely getting spoiled in anything so i could experience this amazing game and sharing with my friends on VC.

Thank you Yoshi-P team.

You know when you find yourself very annoyed but excited to play a game someday and you know that you're gonna love every damn second of it when you do? Yeah, that's one of the main things that i really wish to play this game sooner man, every second i felt i could vent my frustrations just by swinging around and doing nothing.

Everything just clicks to me and i'm happy to just vibe pretty most of it except the final boss.
