Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy XVI is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 5. It is the sixteenth game in the mainline Final Fantasy series and is being produced by Naoki Yoshida and directed by Hiroshi Takai. Final Fantasy XVI is set in the fictional land of Valisthea, a continent with six factions that are on the verge of conflict due to a spreading malady called the Blight.

Final Fantasy XVI is an action role-playing game set in the fantasy world of Valisthea, where the people live comfortably thanks to mountains of crystal called the Mothercrystals. The world is controlled by six factions: the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, the Kingdom of Waloed, the Dhalmekian Republic, the Iron Kingdom, and the Crystalline Dominion. A central part of the plot are the Eikons, summoned monsters controlled by or manifesting through humans called Dominants.

The main cast includes Clive Rosfield, Joshua Rosfield, and Jill Warrick. Clive is the firstborn child of the Archduke of Rosaria who embarks on a quest for revenge after tragic events involving the dark Eikon Ifrit. Joshua Rosfield, Clive's younger brother, is the Dominant of the Eikon Phoenix and heir apparent to Rosaria. Jill Warrick, a woman from the fallen Northern Territories is Clive and Joshua's foster sister and confidant.Gameplay has Clive fighting using a combination of melee-based sword attacks and magical abilities.

The game is planned to feature various gameplay modes, including one that focuses on the story of the game and provides hints as to what to do next.

The post provides a clear opinion on the game with some specific examples, but it could benefit from more detail on why certain aspects are lacking. It also presents a mixed perspective, which could be valuable for other players assessing the game.

The main story arc is great but everything outside of that is terrible.

Exploration is pointless. 99% of the loot you find is materials for the barebones crafting system.

The majority of the sidequests are dreadful, you can tell an MMO team worked on them.

A lot of the characters are wooden and devoid of personality, there are a few exceptions (Cid, Mid, Byron, Gav).

No mini games at all? Even FFXV had fishing and that game was half-finished.

The main arc of the game is enjoyable and the combat and Eikon battles are great but it's far more a God of War / Devil May Cry action game than a Final Fantasy game.

Just played the demo last night. It looks pretty but, for me anyway, it was a button-basher and not really a game I'd enjoy.
