- Final Fantasy 16 Review by Mitchell Saltzman, on PlayStation 5.
"Final Fantasy 16's combat takes the series even further down the road of an action game, but it's story, characters, and magical setting are among the best the legendary RPG series has seen."

They gave it a 9
Shut up
U da real mvp!
Thank u 😂
Thank you SnoopFrogg2345, you are doing God's work.
You just spoiled the video bro
Active lore feature is certainly an interesting way of letting players know about the world without turning the dialogues into an artificial sounding exposition dump. It's brilliant.
Brilliant?! 😂
@@kunimitsune177u
Yeah, it's great so we can get a game where we don't get this weird exposition dumps that feel so out of place that they take you out of the game like Vivian did with her exposition dumps disguised as "lessons" in FF16. Oh wait.
So the best "new storytelling" feature in ff16 is the history themed quest log/codex that was in Final Fantasy Tactics over 20 years ago.
I'm not sure this is the selling point everyone thinks it is.
@@CitanulsPumpkinnot a selling point but ok
That active lore feature is probably the single best QoL addition any RPG has ever had.
X-ray mode like what prime has. It's a great feature
Turn base is a thing of the past
It's great, and it be great to see in future games, but it shouldn't become a crutch for developers to lean on and get away with lazy writing.
@@jarrodgoforth1257Persona 5 and Dragon Quest XI are laughing at your comment
@@slyrxccoon And Like a Dragon...
For the first time in a very, very long time… the hype was worth it. 2023 is a great time to be a gamer!
It really is, no matter where you play
And hard for wallet😂😊

Yeah, about that...
Yeah this year and next are just gonna be a tornado of incredible releases. It's insanity really.

Really don’t get what your complaining about, if anything getting to dunk on some truly garbage games just made this year that much more fun.
Just bought the game & surprised with how engrossing the story is. Can’t wait to play it all weekend!
During the summer? Really?
@@dr.loomis4221 people have jobs.
Poor man's Game of thrones is a step in the right direction for JRPGs
Famous last words
@@dxcSOULIt's nothing like Game of Thrones
The demo had me in shock by the end.
did u died?
Killing ya beloved lil brother brutally was definitely devastating!! Itachi couldn’t even pull that off
@@Supa262he didn’t kill his brother it was the second ifrit
@@KyoumaBH There is no second Ifrit. Clive is Ifrit. But he cant control Ifrit at this point.
@@KyoumaBHno it was him he wasn’t controlling ifrit
It's very nice to see how better they got at action gamestyle since crisis core on PSP. Loving it
Triangle Strategy also did a great job of letting you hit a button when somebody was talking to see their portrait and background story so you could follow along more easily.
How was that game thinking about getting it
Eh, crpg did it waaay before with Tyranny.
@@piffromney1916I'd reccomend it.
@@piffromney1916tri strat is amazing
@@piffromney1916its amazing. Its a story heavy game with great character developments. The gameplay is not really that complex but still quiet challenging. Perfect for jrpg fans and newcomers on tactical rpg.
Just bought a PS5 and this demo was amazing super stoked for the full release
Ditto..plus 65 inch oled tv just for this...I have been possessed
Didn’t know there was a demo
@@johansermartinez9287demo available for psplus deluxe or premium subscriber
Enjoy your PS5 bro!
Congrats on the PS5. Enjoy it!!
Demo was amazing, and worth experiencing for the story aspect alone. If you have a PS5, you should try the demo at least.
Played the demo for a bit this morning but had to go to work unfortunately 😂. Can't wait for the weekend though
Is it a free demo even if you don’t have PS plus?
@@STAAHPi’m pretty sure you need ps plus
its so hard to play without the easy rings
Definitely true
Wow so the voice actress for young Jill and the voice of joshua did the voices for amicia and Hugo from a plagues tale 😮
As a 90s kid accustomed to Final Fantasy being the RPG king, it’s nice to see a return to form for the brand.
LOL this game is hardly even an RPG. FF15 is a better Final Fantasy game than this crap
@@bobross8585Yea, we’re just gonna pretend you didn’t say that.
@@ricksterdrummer2170to be fair ff16 is barely an rpg...... And I'm ok with that
@@bobross8585 FF15? Oh you mean the game where the combat literally consists of holding the x button and use a healing potion from time to time? Sure buddy haha
@southparkfan4603 yeah, that's how little of an RPG FF16 actually is hahaha. That a game like FF15 is still more representative of the genre than this DMC-Lite crap. No actual spells or party, meaningless gear progression, over 3/4s of the game is cutscenes. It's a joke dude
Finally, it’s time to play another Final Fantasy masterpiece! That active lore feature is a massive move in the right direction too.
The game deservea a 3/10.
Lol looks like a ps3 game
@@zahidulzahid7147oh, someone haven’t played the game yet
Bad Performance on ps5
@@warumsindalleso Yeah indeed, the performance while in combat is smooth but as you explore it drops a lot...
@@zahidulzahid7147 You're acting as if PS3 didn't have games with great graphics.
In my opinion, FFXVI should've been a nominee for game of the year
It’s hard to get a nomination when the year is PACKED with marquee titles for damn near every company. Everyone brought their A game to 2023, and unfortunately you can’t win em all.
If it was nintendo exclusive would of gave it a 10/10
Switch can handle this with tons of issues
Exactly
If it was From Software it'd be 12/10
Switch would explode
Or a Fromsoft game
"the active lore feature is incredible and should be a standard going forward in the genre" Would they say the same about FFIX's ATEs?
9 is my favorite game of all time, but you are mistaken. they function very differently, ATE's are optional scenes, not immediate lore references.
"The only Fantasy here is yours. And we shall be its Final witness!" - Clive Rosfield FFXVI
The demo was better then a 9. The story so brutal. The game so beautiful. The summons so badass.
If it was a Nintendo game it would have gotten a 10
Lol people like you are why IGN is too scared to give most hyped games anything lower than an 8
@@smartfactscentralEverytime a game comes out that isnt on everything on release "if it was a ___ game it would be higher".
On xbox games people mention sony, and on a few sony exclusives people mention xbox.
They dont even 10/10 every Nintendo game. A lot of people loved the last 2 Zelda games and they got a 10 each. Metroid Dread got a 9, the last set of Pokemon games got a 6 (the 2 Arceus & S&S got better but still no 10s), Luigi's Mansion 3 got an 8.3, etc.
9 is a perfectly fine score, a great one in fact. But just for a small second they found it lacking, thats literally all it means. Not like anyone should take stock in numbers any company gives anyway, doesnt have an effect on your or anyone else's experience while playing.
@@smartfactscentral If it was a Nintendo game it probably wouldn't have existed in the way it does
The game is 50+ hours and you would rate it higher based off the hour or so you played? Very logical.
YOSHI P is the *LEGEND* for this game’s huge success
So glad this highlighted the active time lore, biggest pet peeve is playing a game and not knowing what’s going on. This really took the game over the top for me
So many GOTY contenders this year! RE4, Zelda, Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor, FF16, Diablo 4, Starfield, Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate 3
U forgot Spiderman 2
Starfield? Lmao u didn’t even played it now…….
But contender is fair to write or? Our expectations for Starfield should be a very strong game otherwise it would be a total flop at least for me.
Idk, hogwarts legacy was okay. It honestly just felt like AC origins, but with wizards.
There are only 2 games listed here that are actual GOTY material.
Genuinely cant wait to play this
Liquid swords
Final Fantasy Fanfare for the score reveal at the end is Fire!
10/10 Tons of dlc opportunities.
Cid , and the fall of the first 3 mother crystals. (Leviathan)
Barnabus, arriving to Ash to conquer a kingdom.
Joshua, surviving Ifrit, and learning the truth of the crystals.
The story of the ones called, the fallen.
The eikon war of the twins. (All eikons)
Special clip: Ultima and his kin, becoming the crystals of valistea.
The new eikons
The confirmed dlcs already!!!
10 hours in, side quests are mostly forgettable (for now) and the boss battles are some of the best in gaming!
The team deserves that 9, im happy they got this score !
Not really
In my opinion is strong 10
@@maskva-u6f hmm they played teh full game and you havnt yet. 9 is still a amazing score lmao
Definitely a 10
If no fps stuttering its a 10
@@devangel369 It runs poorly on PS5, enjoy your 9.
Great to see a new Devil May Cry game!
Lol this guy
There's only one way this game could have been better, and that would have been Clive giving an epic 'Hello there!' when the moment was ripe for it.
Can't wait! This looks absolutely beautiful ^ ^
Im getting lots of Tales of Arise vibes playing the game and Clive reminds me of Alphen too.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Mitchell and his attention to detail? Such a refreshing review, you can tell he actually played the game just like he did with the SF6 reviewm. Well-done, keep up the awesome work!
hard disagree, didn't need to see footage of scenes 10 hours in the game when there's plenty of footage from the demo.
Those standards are super low. You can tell the reviewer played the game? Isn't that their job?
For people who don't know. Square Enix already acknowledged and addressed the framerate issue. Many problems will be fixed in the Day-1 patch 1.03+ (Demo was version 1.01) but the biggest fps fix will be a post launch patch, if options to turn off Motion Blur and so on. My guess is patch will drop after 1-2 weeks, so if you want the full FF16 experience, just wait a bit. Also @DigitalFoundry will surely make a in-depth video of how the performance of FF16 is.
Just watched it and the performance mode is still all over the place
Yeah that's what they said about Jedi Survivor's PS5 performance mode too...
@@travistotleits shown that the developers clearly love the fanbase enough to actually fix stuff unlike EA😬
Lmao please, the game is an exclusive and it still manages to have framerate issues? jesus christ lmao
@@AhbibHaald probably has to do with the engine they used
Never thought Clive Bixby will be played in a game, such a charming character

Should include Juliana too
Just finished the demo the story had my jaw dropping the whole time!
Lol. How? It's a fkn snoozefest.
Ikr damn amazing
Saaaame
Same!
Im gonna buy this. It looks fun and it's on sale for like $45 on playstation
35 on Amazon lol
They learned their lesson with 15 to not be too ambitious. People want a single player campaign or all multiplayer, not a little of both, and we definitely don't need unnecessary game systems to clutter the world to make it feel full. With that said, please make your version of Granblue Fantasy Relink for us co op enjoyers!
You say that but look at the massive success of souls games which manage to blend single player gameplay with multiplayer elements.
They haven't learned any lessons in the past 20 plus years lol
If they understood what the real final fantasy fans want then they would of already put a 3 or 5 disc game out that mashed up the best of 7 8 9 and 10 and gave us something special that had the feel those games did but nope just 20 years of failing and they still haven't learned
@@water2bank804 that’s what you want not what everyone wants and they’ve learned a lot otherwise they wouldn’t be millionaires. Sooooo bitter dude, hyperfixate on some other series, oh wait, this is one of the most epic despite how mad you are, nvm
Crisis core was way more fun foray into action rpg.
How was 15 ambitious??
The hype was real about Zelda, Diablo, and Final Fantasy this year. Great year for gamers 🎉
they legit all disappointed. not sure what coolaid ur drinking

Yet Baldurs Gate comes out on top.
Remember they gave deathloop a 10/10 never forget.
@@roodinversewhats the problem with zelda?
@@roodinversecope
Do you realize that IGN isn't just a singular entity reviewing games? The dude who gave deathloop a 10 is a entirely different writer than this review. This review was written by Mitchell Saltzman, while the deathloop review was written by Matt Purslow. If you have a problem with deathloop's score, then you don't have a problem with IGN, you have a problem with Purslow.
@@roodinverse again and again, zelda games made comparisons and attacked as usual, jealous? envy? just enjoy the FF16 game
Loved it! Hopefully we get DLC or FF16-2 😁🙌🏻
IGN: It’s almost perfect but we will give it a 9/10 just because.
“We gotta let Zelda win no matter what!”
Almost isn’t a 10…
Because we must promote Zelda and Starfield...
Almost perfect isn’t a 10 genius
also gamespot, fextralive, easy allies and basically most other outlets gave it 9/10.
Almost as if just because you WANT it to be a 10/10, doesn't mean it is.
You haven't even played the complete game yet, have you?
Why are you even watching these videos? Just to confirm your unwavering opinion and if the score is "off" by ONE point of your "didn't actually play it but must be 10/10" rating, there MUST be something fishy going on?
Gonna replay this on Hard mode now. Beat it 2 months ago. Legendary game.
It was a decent game,
story, characters, and music.
sidequest was boring as hell
looks cool but this is a travesty to what a main final fantasy game should be
This has absolutely 0 to do with what made final fantasy a beloved franchise.
Best Final Fantasy I’ve played in a long time
This game was my GOTY
Final Fantasy is back baby
My question, why is the game so dark?
Because it’s not bright
Waiting for the graphical hype to die down so we can have an honest conversation about the complete lack of meaningful RPG mechanics and gameplay.
im in love with this game… everything about it so just so amazing
Yeah but did you finish it tho?
Sure did, 56 hours in..@@SweetKingTanner
@@SweetKingTanner?
Can't wait to play this!
Love when Mitch reveiws a big release like this!
nope
Wtf? His voice is like nails on a chalkboard.. Terrible enunciation
Super amazing game. The story is so beautiful and Clive Rosfield is beautiful.
Combat doesn’t look deep at all and it kind of needs to be if the story is 50 hours
It seems Clive is the only playable character in the game, and this just puts me off so much. Like whatever happened to mainline Final Fantasy games where you could play other characters fully right from the start?
@@kyleannen731This! They still haven't learned from FFXV. In that game we only play as Noctis until the fans are mad and demanded the other members to be playable too and they finally patched it.
Why is this game made same mistake again???
If Starfield delivers, 2023 could be the best year for gaming in the last decade
To the Bethesda haters in the replies - may Todd have mercy on your souls
It won’t
Its Bethesda
And 30fps with bug
Alots of bugs😂
@@lelouchabrilvelda1794 wait so 30fps in ff16 gets a pass but starfield doesnt? wtf?
@sweetbabyrayso5262 yeah these people are weird lmao.
@@sweetbabyrayso5262final fantasy 16 isn’t 30 fps tho, if it had only a 4k 30 mode it wouldn’t pass, but it gives you the option for a playable frame rate
$105 for a LINEAR game. Got screwed again. Graphics are awesome, story is ok, but it’s not a 9. Maybe a 6.
Lol😂
9/10

@@Excalibur5k 2005 was better
The chocobos in FF16 looks so gallant, and finesse on point. Very matured looking chocobos.
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.
A 9/10 is very generous more like 7/10 because as a series Final Fantasy has some of the most boring side quests in gaming. Atleast in Tears of the Kingdom, the side content was memorable and had actual impact on the world.
Absolutely nowhere at any time within any game has side quests been worth it.
@@nightfears3005 Thats questionable, how long have you been Gaming ?
Western RPGS have some of the best and memorable side quests, Witcher, Bauldurs Gate, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Disco Elysium, Mass Effect, Diablo, Dragon Age, Deus Ex, Fable.
And you might not personally enjoy any of these franchise mentioned above, but you're being disingenuous to push a narrative thats easily debunked.

The Devil May Cry For Your Final Fantasy
But without a real challenge
Fighting wise is perfect, but storyline is very lacking, lack emotional depth
the same people who complain about it being easy are the people that are cheap that they just watch youtube videos and talk sht about the game dummies that has it on set on story mode with those timely accessories for easy combat
@Youngfan005you like being reported
Launching with new game plus and an arcade mode with leaderboards, hot damn
TL;DR they gave it a 9/10
this is a certified final fantasy masterpiece
Its a generic boring button mashing action game.
@@Iansanonce-lp4nxpoor kid can't afford the game.
certified garbage
Not great not terrible.For me solid 6/10 no more no less.Empty locations,almost zero loot,too easy,and slow downs in any graphic modes.
It was not great
Can we all agree though that this game should never have been called 60fps as the performance mode never gets anywhere close.
Just as with Jedi Survivor, the graphical stuttering is understated by the reviewer, in my opinion
How bad was jedi survivor on this issue?
@@nightfears3005 In my opinion, brutal. Played on PS5, LG 55"OLED TV on performance mode. VRR enabled/not enabled. - made no difference

My game of the year, masterpiece
Absolutely horrible .. that you can't turn off motion blur. Guess I'll have to wait.. *sigh* honestly, come ooooooon
Lol
The soundtrack is definitely the best aspect of the game
After 30 hours this game is from a 8.5 to 9.2
Depending the type of player you are, new comer or veteran.
My only regret is not buying the deluxe statue edition of this game.
CID is a Chad.
Final Fantasy XVI: the movie (and some game included)
game is incredible, it was worth the hype and wait.
I'm taking my time with it.
Combat is boring, movement is stiff, the world and scenes feel empty, facial expression are missing? For me, it feels like it still needs a year
Yup, people giving this game a 9 or 10 only played the demo.
How can you give a PS5 exclusive a 9/10 when it both looks and runs like it's on PS4
This game seems to have more in common with Crystal Chronicles
Combat, graphics and main storyline was great. Side content was garbage, lol
Story had me locked in from the beginning , only a couple hours in and the combat and boss fights are very fun
Can't believe the Active Time Lore feature was praised while it's only a more embellished FFXIII's datalog.
Final Fantasy 16 looks like an incredibly solid Black Friday purchase for 29 bucks.
I'll finally get a ps5 for this game
You gave The Last Of Us 2 a 10/10 but this is a 9/10 ? Really ?
TLOU2 fully deserved it's 10. looks like this should be a 10 as well.

9/10 great review
Just missed turn base... This just feels like a button smashing game 😞... 😅 Hurts my fingers sometimes too 😭 pressing buttons a thousand times a boss fight
Is the lack of rpg elements a downside
*Yoshi P's TEAM are the* 🐐
*They saved the franchise!*
Final fantasy makes the best music. Hands down! Epic!
Final Fantasy that doesn't have limit breaks like FF7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 & 15 and is unable to summons Eikons and/or Guardian Force and/or Eidolon is not Final Fantasy to me.
It’s amazing the demo really got me into it.
Looks incredibly boring/bland/redundant; an absolute slog to play. This franchise should be laid to rest.
Wrong, play before saying 💩
Just because you specifically might not like it? Yeesh.
The fps in not stable in performance mode ..
So Final Fantasy is officially no RPG anymore?
Pretty much
Yeah and all these fools out here praising it
Could have been great, but they ended up making yet-another fighting game.
If by RPG you mean turn-based combat, then no.
Wow, the active lore feature is ingenious, it's great for games that expect you to learn 20 new terminologies by the first hour you're playing
Why can't we go back to regular turn based
The story and lore has me interested. The rest is... meh.
Why don't they simply start a new series, instead of turning this franchise into a shallow actiongame?
The sequel to Skyrim tells a compelling story, but it follows a linear path. This is expected from the perspective of fans, as many game series tend to have predetermined narratives. Whether it's Zelda, Skyrim, or Dragon Quest, we consider what fans appreciate about our work and why they became fans in the first place. Even if Dragon Quest undergoes changes, it remains true to its core identity.
Zelda has evolved, but the fundamental aspects of action and puzzle-solving remain unchanged. In the Elder Scrolls series, realism in battles has been abandoned to create a world where players can freely explore and become anything they desire.
Final Fantasy has gained popularity not only due to its stories and movies but also because of the abundance of job options and the excitement of traveling the world on an airship. The development team puts thought into character progression, which has attracted more fans and turned it into a beloved franchise.
Considering action games, it's important to understand what fans desire. However, if Square Enix were to suddenly release a game with the same characters and worldview but as a generic RPG where you fight monsters and gain experience points, it may not resonate with players and may lose the essence of what makes Final Fantasy unique.
In conclusion, while storytelling is essential in Final Fantasy, it's the combination of rich gameplay experiences, character development, and a captivating world that has contributed to its success. Departing from these key elements could potentially undermine the identity and appeal of the series.
