I know I'm going to come down this high and regret making this video in the future but oh well. Final Fantasy XVI is a power fantasy action movie of a roller coaster ride and I wanted to talk about it.

Clive quickly worked his way up to being one of my favorite protagonists of all time. He's the perfect balance between the modern edgy antihero and the softhearted, selfless and optimistic classical fantasy hero. He doesn't lean too far in either direction. He's extremely badass, powerful and cool while still being extremely kind, heroic and lovable.

Bro please keep making more reviews. Your review was so upbeat and optimistic I went and bought the game immediately. I’ve been watching reviews from last week but most reviewers are so monotone. You showed so much excitement about this game and I fckin love that! Please make a review for ff7 rebirth!!

Wow thank you, that means so much to me! I'm still trying to figure out what type of videos I actually want to make and it's just really hard making the time with my big boy adult job so I'm still sort of experimenting. Right now it's more of a gaming journal for me to keep track of games I've played and what I liked about them. I definitely want to make them shorter to save myself some time so I can get them out quicker and play more games but we'll see. I ramble way too much lol. I'm honestly terrified of making a video about Rebirth haha. That game is such a wild adventure that I have no idea what to even say. I stare at a blank page trying to write a script and get nowhere. It's also such a massive game I'm bound to forget so much. I don't think anything I have to say will do it justice haha.

Long time Final Fantasy fan and enjoyer of all kinds of games. I have to say this is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. It was the characters, story, and world building that really pulled me in. The combat was fine. Simple, flashy and fun, but nothing amazing. I think peoples expectations of the game and what they got were two different things. To me the game played out exactly how I thought it would and I was ok with that.

I think my first experience with Final Fantasy might have been when I was a kid and renting Advent Children from the video store when it first came out and I had no idea what was going on but it was like the coolest thing I'd ever seen haha. I've dabbled in the series before but the first game I actually completed was FF7 Remake so I'm just a poser and a fraud haha.

Yeah this game does have some weird motion blur and occasional performance issues. You can go into the settings and there's a motion blur slider that you can turn all the way down. You could also try switching the game to performance mode in the settings and see if that helps.

I think nowadays, in this social media era, most people than ever cant enjoy things like such games anymore. Cuz of brainrot xD cuz FF games are experience meant to be light and relaxing with characters with optimistic mindset (in opposite to western games characters) edit: im kidding with brainrot thing but i mean people are too stressed, overthinking drains their souls and are saddly negative.

Honestly I think I'm in that camp most of the time. There's a lot about this game that should make me not like it but something about it just really clicked with me. I must have just played it at just the right time in my life to allow myself to enjoy it. It helps that Rebirth came out relatively close to 16 so FF fans can enjoy two totally different experiences.

Ya know, every time I play 16 I can tell pretty clearly that something stinks about the game. The RPG elements are weak. The side quests (excluding some) are super tedious and samey. The open world is superfluous and empty... but yet... I still love the game despite these short comings because what it DOES offer and DOES do well, it does REALLY. FUCKING. WELL! The spectical, the combat, the characters, the performances, Tarja, I can go on. I love FF16, to the point my main complaint is that there isn't more FF16. Here is hoping that the PC release does well, and we get a second round of DLC and improvements! I know I will be buying it again on pc DAY ONE.

I honestly don't see it. The combat is horribly repetitive and shallow. All the flashy particle effects in the world can't help the fact you are just mashing the same basic combo over and over and over again. Each Eikon is *exactly* the same thing with a different color pallette. You have a single-target damage ability, and AOE ability, a launcher (which is entirely pointless since launching does absolutely nothing) and an ultimate. Without additional effects or elemental affinities, there is nothing to distinguish them. You basic attack string doesn't even change when you swap. Combat ends up being nothing more than mashing square while waiting for cooldowns to reset. It isn't fun or engaging in the slightest. And as far as the story goes, Clive has all the charm and personality of a cinder block. Also, this is almost *exactly* the same story as Tales of Arise, but done much, much worse, so they don't even get points for originality.

I honestly don't get it. Comments like this are shallow and devoid of any real depth. Without additional respect or even an understanding of what the game was doing there's nothing to distinguish this comment from any other comment on any other game someone doesn't like. It's a basic attack that wouldn't even change swapping games to level it at. Comments like yours end up being nothing but trashing someone about what they enjoy. And as far as story goes your comment reads like someone that desperately needs to touch grass. It's the same kind of button mashers BS people said about the OG God of War games, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta so not even points for originality there.
