Departing from traditional turn-based combat, Final Fantasy XVI embraces action RPG mechanics with cinematic battles and dynamic summons. The story follows Clive Rosfield in a world where powerful Eikons shape the fate of nations.
The combat is fast-paced, focusing on combo-based attacks and magic-infused abilities. Boss battles are grand spectacles, pushing the PlayStation 5 hardware to its limits.
While the game’s darker tone and streamlined RPG elements may not appeal to all fans, its gripping story, stunning visuals, and exhilarating gameplay make it one of the strongest entries in the series.
