#FF16 #FinalFantasyXVI #PS5
Final Fantasy XVI is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. The sixteenth main installment in the Final Fantasy series, it is scheduled for release on June 22, 2023 for the PlayStation 5 as a timed exclusive. The game will feature segmented open environments and an action-based combat system involving both melee and magic-based attacks. There are also recurring series features including Chocobos, and summoned monsters called Eikons, which are both fought as bosses and used through channelling their power in combat.
Final Fantasy XVI is set in the fictional world of Valisthea, a world divided between six nations who hold power through access to magical Crystals and Dominants, humans who act as hosts for each nation's Eikon. Tensions between the nations escalate as a malady dubbed the Blight begins consuming the land. Clive Rosfield, guardian to his younger brother Joshua, witnesses his kingdom destroyed and goes on a revenge quest in pursuit of the dark Eikon Ifrit.
Beginning concept development in 2015, the staff included Naoki Yoshida as producer, Hiroshi Takai as main director, artists Hiroshi Minagawa and Kazuya Takahashi, Kazutoyo Maehiro as creative director and lead writer, Masayoshi Soken as composer, and Capcom veteran Ryota Suzuki as battle designer. Yoshida's aim was for a dark fantasy storyline that would have broad appeal and reinvigorate the series. The game has been well received by journalists. Praise was given to its story, characters, music ad combat system. Criticism focused on its lack of deeper RPG elements, framerate issues, and by some for a lack of ethnic and gender representation despite its Medieval European setting and the largely anticipated decision of the creators to make the game as more historically accurate as possible to the demographic and the standards and customs of the time.
Well, I can’t say I’m shocked that after a blockbuster demo everyone loved, it turns out that Final Fantasy XVI itself is good as well. The embargo has lifted, and reviews are coming in for the game which releases tomorrow, June 22. No, the late embargo was not in any way indicative of anything being hidden. I don’t know why they did it, but whatever, reviews are great.
As it stands, Final Fantasy XVI has a 90 on Opencritic in an age when anything over a 90 is at the very least a GOTY contender, and right now its an 88 on Metacritic, but that keeps jumping around.
