the household has finished final fantasy xvi and my verdict is yeah it’s alright. story takes an incredible nosedive in the third act but i still liked all the characters for the duration.
i think the soundtrack is probably the highlight. it leans a little too hard on the prelude and main theme of final fantasy towards the end, but that’s like a nitpick rather than the glaring flaws of a lot of the rest of the game. soken always delivers.
i wasn’t in the driver’s seat for this one, so I’ll probably play it through myself because the combat is fun as hell.
but yeah it’s kind of a hard game to talk about because my feelings are all over the place and i don’t feel like writing a whole wall of text. in summary, cid rules and clive is my friend, but we should go back to the ps2.
