Final Fantasy 16 Review
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.”

Does the game lets you disable hit numbers? They are so annoying
Your favorite of al de ffs???? You probably also like game of thrones huh…. Smh
These games never sound right in English the voices just don’t match the characters like they do with the Japanese voice actors. Sounds more like a character that belongs in game of thrones than in final fantasy tbh, not saying the voice acting isn’t great but it just feels misplaced in this series.
Dante from DMC in Final Fantasy
im feeling motivated after watching the gameplay
Hooray, Finally Fantasy is Devil May Cry now lol
damn ff16 is one of the best game ❤
What a great action game
wait, there are no other party members? just you all the time?
IGN you remain to be THE joke of the gaming world.
Keep keeping on my friends.
This would be my first Final Fantasy.
13:47 Yeah, framerate is normally between 28 and 42-ish fps =/
meanwhile everyone is playing totk.
Devil May Fantasy
Buying this on sale
Why does the main character have a beard but no mustache?
Anybody else experienced crazy graphics glitches with the demo? If so, did you find out the solution to those?
This game is a solid 10, boss fight is the greatest in gaming history
The hype was real about Zelda, Diablo, and Final Fantasy this year. Great year for gamers 🎉
Overall one of IGNs better reviews. Mostly fair, generaly keeps his personal bias out of it, with a few exceptions. A rarity from IGN, but a pleasent suprise.
Only way would be better is if Zelda didnt get a pass for its performance and lackluster sidequests. Not hating on Zelda but it does seem like bias from the reviewers that Zelda gets passes for things like that but other franchises don’t. And for some reason the bias just seems more prevalent this year, though thats probably because Zelda’s performance issues is a very well known problem with the game so the letting it pass stands out more than normal.
Was gonna say he sounds like the dude from diablo lol
Don’t trust the reviews, the combat is shitty and it’s hard to tell wtf is going on.
Tbh the combat looks boring and repetitive
Lol Clive is the JJS=japanese jon snow.
So is this worth goty
Disappointed. Lacking RPG elements and magic being streamlined into a basic attack, Ill be waiting for a significant price drop in Autumn.
Tears of the Kingdom will be game of the year.
The story is abit similar to “Game of Thrones”
playstation fanboy review of course he will give it higher score and otherreview are saying it’s not that great
it’s a shame that it is only for ps5 atm.
I’m not a Playstation gamer but I’m excited for yall. This game looks great
Love this review! Its funny you point out how great the soundtrack is though as I’ve been very distracted by the soundtrack playing during dialogue. This game is so great in so many ways, but music during the dialogue is just distracting at best.
this gameplay fighting style please convert it to WWE or Boxing or bloody roar
Im getting lots of Tales of Arise vibes playing the game and Clive reminds me of Alphen too.
A 9? Seriously?
ShillGN going strong as ever smh
The story has Dune vibes like mad
Cant beat ffx
Not steam yet? Skip.
Yoshi-p making something amazing? Color me unsurprised, this guy is a game development genius
Devil May Cry 16 – 9/10 IGN
4/10
Bad game.. Easy.. Bad story.. No rbg.. Just a attack press button.. Not even like dmc.. Dmc way better.
Can’t wait for this to be on pc
50hrs for story mode???
In a franchise were the average only story playthrough is 100+ that’s very disturbing to hear.
main character looks like captain hook from once upon a time tv series.
Game of the year .. no doubt
can’t tell a man from a woman in this game
Shitty game
Final Fantasy XVI: the movie (and some game included)
Wow, it’s my first time seeing a modern final fantasy is rated a 9/10 by IGN in more than a decade. Gotta play this if available on PC in the future.
Black Desert Online Single Player mode
A freaking 9!! R u kidding me!!!
R u kidding me!!
It’s a 10/10
9/10 is right
I’ll give it a solid 5
15 minutes to tell u if u should play it or not fk off
I’m glad they didn’t weaponise their scoring like some other outlets.
this isn’t final fantasy
Its xenogears. This game is xenogears.
Is this an mmorpg game now?
Final Fantasy will never learn the “Less is more” lesson.
Nier automata auto dodge chip
It’s a 9 guys. As it should be. GameSpot gave it a 9. They are the gold of standard of game reviews.
Gamers running to the end of the video to see if IGN reviewed their personality well and called it amazing or a masterpiece since their parents couldn’t help develop a personality for them.
Suzuki, Yoshi-P and Soken did not dissapoint. This is nice
They call it a nine… A NINE
So, Zelda is still the game of the year.
Active Time Lore is basically just footnotes for video games.
Says there are only 4 combos when you hit square. 9:05 unleashes 10-13 mid air combos.
…but can it run crysis?
They gave it a 9. Saved your time huh
Bring back turn based combat
final devil may cry
not open world game
10 hours in, side quests are mostly forgettable (for now) and the boss battles are some of the best in gaming!
Are we not gonna talk about the 337 million cut scenes? And the horrible performance?
Oh well.
Can’t wait for pc release
Am in love with it …played 16 hours continously in my first session, its like a drug <3
Overrated af
Final Fantasy XVI Will Get It’s Anime Adaptation By Studio MAPPA
The demo felt so boring, the game play is stale and lame, there is no magic system, the story was kind of interesting though
Ah final fantasy 15 in a different skin 😂
My favorite part was when Clive went “It’s Clivin time” and then Clived all over everybody
They gave it a 6
WTF the faces look so stiff ???
mid
Devil may fantasy lmao
Dieser Typ hörte sich etwa die Hälfte der Rezension lang nicht einmal so an, als ob es ihm gefallen hätte, und ich spreche nicht von seiner toten Stimme.
disappointing tbh…
I’ve never played a final fantasy game, the demo convinced me to buy it
Just bought it and downloaded my girlfriend gonna be lonely this weekend
right, another locked male protagonist
It would be a perfect 10 if THEY WOULD STOP GATEKEEPING AND RELEASE ON PC AND XBOX.
Call of Duty should not be rated higher than this. Absolutely idiotic
You keep saying memorable characters but you only mention 3 of them, and barely say anything about them aside from Clive. Also, they weren’t very memorable if you ask me.
Honestly think this is Square nonchalantly teasing, “If you think this game’s combat system and mechanics are amazing, wait ’til you see what we got for our next MMO game!”
The fps in not stable in performance mode ..
I’m on the forth storyline where he’s supposed to execute the girl vs Tiamat Why does Clive sound like Jason Statham or is it really voiced by Jason Statham????? 🤔 Can someone confirm
Better than TOTK for sure
Just a reminder, IGN gave Deathloop a 10/10.
Tbh it deserves a 10
Demo was decent. Sound effects were lacking, though. They were muffled and lacking impact. Graphics and animations were solid
QTEs are back! Missed them?
Fitgirl cmoooon
I’m just upset that half the cast isn’t made up of dark-skinned Black women.
The performance is terrible. People say play Quality Mode but if you do that you’re subjected to some terrible motion blur. I’ll take FPS dips over not being able to turn my camera without the entire screen going blurry lol.
If you love the ost so much, why not mention the composer?
can’t wait for xvii..
FF15 died so FF16 could thrive.
Why do all the characters have the same face
/sponsored review much?
that deserves a 10 man, come on
Honestly looks like a game, I’d just watch another streamer play for it’s story.
Is this only on PS5???
Perhaps Kat Bailey should be fired for making her piss-poor review over ethnic and gender “representation”. This reviewer on YouTube is much more fair.
This is the worst “spoiler free” video ive seen, and it 100% didn’t have to be. A lot said (and shown) that wasn’t needed to convey the review.
dem 2002 cutscene graphics
Absolutely horrible .. that you can’t turn off motion blur. Guess I’ll have to wait.. *sigh* honestly, come ooooooon
Anabella you *beep* can’t wait to see you later on in the game! Judgement is coming. 😡
Would be 10/10 for IGN if it changed its name to call of duty.
Great job, Creative Business Unit 3!
Looks like Yoshi-P has done it again
Gameplay feels like fast Witcher.
Was v impressed with the demo
9/10
Seeing Final Fantasy fully adopt a gameplay style more like DMC and Nier Automata is a beautiful sight.
Even the Trailer of the remastered “Mario RPG” game has more views than this FF16 review. (both videos came out at the same time). This game is only “Worth Watching” not worth playing (that’s what you get from copying Game of thrones). Excited to see the Sales Figures in the coming days.
Sid reminds me of the guy from reign
Bro wtf they pc release.
it switches to 720p in performance mode and still can not maintain 60fps. Hard pass
In other words… just shut up and take my money
How can Zelda get a 10 and THIS a 9????
IGN giving something a 9 probably means its a 6/7
Is this game co op
Elden ring is better
This then Rebirth. Lets go!
Sad they did not do a PC release knowing how well it did with XV.
More people watched the Mario RPG trailer than the FF16 review
Ign saving that 10 for the next forza
It’s very nice to see how better they got at action gamestyle since crisis core on PSP. Loving it
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!
Here’s a better summary of this review. If Capcom made the Witcher and not CD Project RED and If an entirely different developer (platinum games) was in charge of the Eikon fights
They could make a trilogy out of this 😂
Wow this game looks awesome, so much quality work behind it. Too bad its still an exclusive.
They gave it a 9
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
The review doesn’t match the score.
Character action genre? Did IGN just invented a new genre of video game?
Amazing game, had some ffxiii feelings at start, but the game story and characters make up for it.
The Most overrated and boring series ever made imo 🤧
Game is fantastic so far
Should have be 10/10. To be Honest.
Now how tf they already got a review out
Incredible how the laziest comments get the most likes.
Final ‘devil may cry’ Fantasy
Overrated?
Abercrombie hack and slash
Seems like a typical linear game for consoles tbh
Seems like it has a nice story and this lore feature is a nice innovation though
Sounds boring for the lvling and getting any gear or items.
After kh3 and ffxv so happy to see square get the W
This game never got me 😑
just 9?
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.
Why is that ff16 is the only game to receive a spoiler warning before the review starts
Mane y’all gave Deathloop a 10…🙄
So you’re telling me that 700p@24fps zelda tears of the boredom gets a 10, and this monumental masterpiece of a game gets a 9? Gotcha 💀
Jedi Survivor was much better on PS5 and everyone was whining and at FF16 nearly nobody is whining -.- 🎉
50+ hours ? Thats kinda short .. like my height
Bro said 9 😂😂 🤦🏻♂️ what a joke
Final hand holding 16. Just equip 3 accessories, and the game plays itself.
Recommended for 9 year olds IGN. American Journalists be upset because Shiva isn’t black and Clive isn’t a gambler drug using bisexual. The Japanese produce art and if you don’t like it don’t buy it.
Playing this on the 86inch
14:55 is verdict timestamp.
Ralph Ineson is in this game???? Instant buy.
Cool!, let’s wait for a year until it releases on Steam (PC).
A 9 for a game full of dull fetch quests? Seriously, that is still acceptable in 2023?
intellectual prostitution at it’s finest
Take heed fellow gamers, take IGN’s reviews with a pinch of salt because it’s IGN.
why in the world would you put a spoiler in on the day of release, knowing full well people want a review before they buy it?
Ff16 is the only game that could compete with totk
After the failed steaming dump which is ff7 remake, hoping this will bring final fantasy back
Booooriing
Great to see a new Devil May Cry game!
if it was a nintendo everyone gives it 10/10 with no cons
Witcher 3 better
final fantasy ended with ff10
Why does it look like asura x Devil may cry
Playing it now, way too many cut scenes. Just let me fight and explore ffs
how is this a review for the game when you only played the demo? this should be titled demo review
Great contender for GoTY besides with Zelda ToTK
So the game is more than anything just a spectacle?
disappointed, gutted the rpg elements to make an action rpg. Not interested in that, at least FF7 Rebirth is coming
But…but…being a final fantasy…how was the story?!
9? Lol bro didn’t play past the demo. It’s an easy 10
who put Nathan Drake in the Final Fantasy world?
this reviewer sounds like Jimmy De Santa
Why a 9 and not a 9.5 or 10?
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.
Can’t beat RE4 remake as goty though
So games can have glaring technical performance issues and IGN still tosses it a 9/10. A PS5 exclusive that can’t even run on a PS5. Whatever you say guys lol. All’s I can say is wait till you guys experience a game like doom eternal that runs at 60fps and native 4k with no performance dips at all.
This game is openworld?
Game is bad at 30 fps. Ps5 has enough hardware to run this at full 60fps
They gotta stop releasing such amazing games this year
My bank account HURTS
Best game! 🔥🔥
IGN realy hate final fantasy 16
Guys was just watching a honest review of someone and they said this game is the worst of 2023??
He explained in this game there is no strategy in combat you can mash your way through any enemy.
And he explained if there is a fire enemy you can still use fire there in no such element immunity/ damage..
So is it true could IGN be overeating this game?
A bit annoying u can’t equip all 3 abilities
The game deservea a 3/10.
Lol looks like a ps3 game
8.5/10
Why not a 10/10 ? Game is fantastic.
compatible for ps4?
I’m outraged, this should have been at least a 9.1112
More lame and uninnovative White-Euro-medieval fantasy. I’ve seen this overworld, these action segments, and these uninspired White characters at least a million times now. Boring.
No it’s a 10/10
Looks incredibly boring/bland/redundant; an absolute slog to play. This franchise should be laid to rest.
can u really review a game when its not even been out a full day??
Tears clears
how are still playing 720p and 34 FPS
It’s just a bummer that it’s released today my birthday but no PS5. Might buy this year
That $70 just flew out of my pocket ngl
whats the point of wasting $70 on this garbage when 99% of it is just garbage cutscenes
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
I’m just waiting for a rpg with elden rings depth of spells/moves and the Witcher 3 story telling in side missions and main missions
Curious for the story but the game does seem a bit too easy even with just autoslow
Final Fantasy 16 looks like an incredibly solid Black Friday purchase for 29 bucks.
DEMO SPOILER
I’m putting my money on it now right before the game comes out. Clive killed Joshua
Damn this has been the longest release of 23 so far! They had a demo and soundtrack release! 😂
Yeah but the gameplay is so boring and easy. Why play when you aren’t ever challenged?
88 on metacritic OH NO NO NO definitely NOT GOTY and Persona 5 is better
This game has been out for 12 hours
Finally another Epic Game 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽
Active time lore looks a lot like it borrowed from the glossary in Pentiment. Great idea.
Putting aside street fighter 6 for now..its time to get lost in the world of FF16..what a year its been for gamers..
Fkng gayer than the last one! What disappointment…
Oh IGN Probably 6/10
Noine
Combat is disappointing. Return to turn based would have made it more interesting
Dude played in English dub💀
The game really sounds great, but it’s a real shame that there is basically 0 exploration. And the builds being limited also blows. Aside from that it really does sound great.
So the 9 out of 10 might be close to what it’s worth score wise.
The game is Dark… literally too little lights in scenes like GOT 😅…
Should of called the game ff16: Ifrit may cry
Uh Woow!
Almost there, less than 2 hours to play it!! 🎉
You missed more than a couple on that list at the start
Can’t wait to play this. A little over 3 hours. 🔥
Game of the year for sure.
Final Fantasy is now an action game and Yakuza Like a Dragon is turn-based. Love it.
Does the UI look fugly for such a stylized game or is it just me?
Launching with new game plus and an arcade mode with leaderboards, hot damn
Everything about this game looks great except for young Clive’s emo haircut. It seriously doesn’t fit with all the other character designs.
Glad ign gave this game to their best reviewer to take on
But there’s a CID in every game lol 😂
Is it confirmed that the protag here is stronger than noctis?
Final fantasy in action devil may cry style 😊
To YOU it’s the final fantasy to me its just another Tuesday 🫡
It makes you feel like Spiderman
9 out of 10
Game is terrible. Hack and slash game. For kids only. Too easy.
How in the hell did this game get a 9?
Another PlayStation must have
I’m really excited for y’all to release on starfield’s horrible release state.
279 hit combo, regular enemy loses 1/4 of its health, my gawd, hp sponges taken to a whole new level, ughhhh
IGN really needs to get some British guys to do their videos or something because this is hard to listen to
No thanks
Just finished the demo the story had my jaw dropping the whole time!
IGN loses all credibility for rating Tears of the Overrated higher than this. Square is actually being innovative and trying something completely new not only for this franchise, but in gaming in general. That alone deserves a better score, its just total bias at this point.
Ffvii rebirth>
This is maybe 2nd to tales of arise combat imo
It looks more and more like devil may cry and less like a final fantasy game, at this rate the RPG mechanics will be completely gone by the 20th game.
howd this get a 9 and tears get a 10
Why call him Clive 😅
Y’all MF just talk to damn much on these videos
Remember they gave deathloop a 10/10 never forget.
Mitchell, you need to stop doing reviews and start doing anime voice overs..
Yoshi-P is the GOAT!
I’m buying it!😢
Much better than expected!!!
Not sold on the fighting tbh but ill gice the demo a go and see…
It’s really sad that Zeldas technical limitations and lack of modern game design and innovation is overlooked for it’s exploration and wacky features but other games are subject to be criticized for every little thing it doesn’t do exactly perfect
It remind me of devil may cry but with summons
ill pass not a fan of the action button masher stuff. Id get bored in 10 minutes of that combat lol
This going to be game of the year 100%
Frame este issues??? What about tears of the kingdon’s 25 fps with ps3 graphics?
Looking forward to Starfield.
What ign didnt go the kotaku route and didnt go all…..political on this game…shocker
Final Fantasy is alive and well
Thanks IGN for not giving a 7.
I’m calling in sick for this game
2023 is the best year for gamers
How some games get a 9 is beyond me but yet you are given this masterpiece and not giving it a 10
Another win for Playstation
can someone please tell what he called ff15’s combat at 7:24 ? can’t make it out
Been waiting a long time waiting on reunion 🫂
720p mid 😂😂😂
Why can’t I find Final Fantasy XVI in PlayStation store?
The fact that they gave it a 9… For a short average of 35 hours gameplay… Puts my mind in a state of confusion.
Can we all agree though that this game should never have been called 60fps as the performance mode never gets anywhere close.
Too bad it’s not an RPG, but the game looks great nonetheless.
Bring back turn based it’s worked for dragonquest so far
Finally, it’s time to play another Final Fantasy masterpiece! That active lore feature is a massive move in the right direction too.
10 for me ❤️🤩💪 final is like jrp witcher ❤😊👍
they’re going to give it a 9, aren’t they?
Hmm a 9 in the video but an 8 on the website…?
9/10 Clive isn’t Cloud so that’s disappointing
Running near stable 60fps during combat and sub 30 during exploration is a much better “creative choice” than 30fps combat especially if the game offers first person combat. This should be viewed no different than 60fps gameplay with 30fps cutscenes and you guys should use this as an example for Todd to rethink is “creative choice” with 30fps first person combat but of course media bias will view it differently to damage control Srarfield because theyre fans of Todd and don’t want his “creative choice” to fail.
With that said, HFW on the Decima engine has no excuses and proves we should expect better from studios like Square and Bethesda who stick with their old engines.
Ffxv played better than 7 remake the largest problem with 15 was maybe the story and weapon balance.
Someone buy me this game😩 I need it…
Reviewer sounds like Dreamcastguy
Ahhh the TRUE jinchuurikis
GOTY?
This game is Game of Thrones meets Attack on Titan!
Igive 4/10 bad game
IGN get over yall high horses its an automatic undebatable 10/10
So can you get new weapons and armour? That looks different whilst playing in game too?
Looks a lot like FF15 to me. Which was great
so it’s a Tales game now?
GOTY!! 👍🏽😁👍🏽
I’d like the action oriented/less rpg gameplay if Kingdom Hearts didn’t exist.
GoT the RPG?
Devil May Fantasy? Final May Cry? just sayin…
No point getting salty over a 9/10 score people. Play it yourself and if its a 10/10 to you, who cares what one reviewer scores it. 🤷♂️
Final Devil Fantasy Cry 6
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?
so the game is mid
It might be 15mns. But the content he shared is felt like 30mns..😅
game of thrones rpg
Really makes you feel like Dragon Age
thanks cant wait to play it on pc
0/10 for me 😭
14:56 a 9
GOTY!!!🔥🔥🔥
Im getting tired of IGN….
IGN finally having solid reviews! Can’t wait to play.
Goty material as expected
Preordered
Great review about this promising game!
This game is 12/10 !!! 15 is my 2nd favourite, FF8 is my ALL TIME favourite ❤
They gave it a 9. I give it a 10. GOTY
Finally, a true Hack and Slash/RPG worthy of 2023 next to Hogwarts Legacy.
Medieval Naruto
Final Fantasy 16.
This looks like absolute garbage to me. Every game is dark souls now. This is not Final Fantasy.
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.
It’s more an action game than a rpg 😞
You ever wonder if humanity will eventually move into other activities?
Why a lot of people hate this game !!
So devil may cry
Yeah it’s a 10 thanks ign for always being wrong.
Crazy how everyone in the comments is praising the game but the preorders for this game is the lowest of any final fantasy game that have come out within the last 10 years 😂
<3<3<3
The demo was better then a 9. The story so brutal. The game so beautiful. The summons so badass.
Eikonic…. genius
14:51 to see the score
Where is the Score?
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!
Once again I’m forced to ask myself why Asians white wash themselves when it comes to games, anime and media in general outside of nonfiction movies. Literally none of the characters in these games appear Asian. They all are white and/or have predominantly white features. Same with Naruto, Goku (turns into an aryan warrior when taking things seriously) etc.
9/10 “the game is perfect but it’s not Zelda” ign strikes again
Finally fantasy makes no sense
Should’ve been 10/10
Great game!
Oh yeah! Game of Thrones! That’s what it reminds me of. The houses fighting for power.
Why does it look so dull in color that makes it feel like last gen
What a weird review. “Basically nothing is wrong with the game except that its not as polished as other of the same genre from an action standpoint.” 9/10. Girl bye
The game is weird and not my type of game.
meh
So my one fear was confirmed. Sparse and weak RPG mechanics sigh. Guess I’ll watch it instead of buying it.
Freaking Devil May Cry right there 🙂
Hmmm. not a 10? Zelda totk is more likely to win GOTY then. There is no way that star field will will win.
How many likes for the Story?
This could be MY game of the year
9/10 “It really does make you FEEL like you are Spider-Man” -IGN
Between this, Zelda, and Starfield coming up. 2023 is a legendary year for games. That doesn’t even include the multiplatform releases this year, and the games from the Nintendo Direct this morning. Geez
Review sounds like 9+
Super looking forward to playing this
Not another fan boy review. Hard to trust. Had similar about a month ago with that big Zelda Breath of the Wild dlc called Tears of the Kingdom.
Gameranx’s before you buy videos are the best.
Get hype
In some parts it looks like he isn’t doing any damage according to the enemy’s health bar.
The Best Final Fantasy on PlayStation 5. Very recommended game for Asia lover game like me!! 😀👍🏻
The hype is real for tonight with ff16
Damn a 9? Looks like a hard pass for me
with that mention of it…..we need an Asura’s Wrath remake for PC and consoles ;>
Combat doesn’t look deep at all and it kind of needs to be if the story is 50 hours
Flop
9
just wish the franchise would go back to the way it was ff7 ff8 ff9
Cant wait to begin!!
Pre ordered this game but hearing the combat can get stale is a big downer for me
Giving a 9 to a game with poor performance and image quality is moronic or corrupt, pick one.
And my backlog grows larger…..
The boycott because the game is “too white” is going to fail miserably
“By Muhammeds grace!” Is he Muslim or is this lore based? Lol not offended or anything just curious 😅
New Zelda Bob the builder : 10/10
Performance issues, stutters, dated, very little voice acting, open world fluff, with physics.
FFXVI: Top tier graphics, incredible combat, game of thrones level story. Best acting. Best music score of 2023: 9/10
????
How do they have a review up when they haven’t completed the game yet?
ill see yall at midnight
This game looks and plays better than Zelda Tears of the kingdom. So why do they give that game a 10 and this game a 9???
3:06 Nathan Drake!
Finally some games coming out that truly give me a reason to get a PS5
They gave Zelda a 10 but this a 9
🤣 did you see Zelda’s issues and gameplay? 🤣
Asura’s Wrath needs a HD remaster
720p and 34 FPS…….9😅
Why would you put spoilers in a review?
IGN….never not stop being you.
This game definitely belongs in my top 16 Final Fantasy games of all time
Bruv I’m done with people genuinely comparing it to Game of thrones.
That active lore feature is probably the single best QoL addition any RPG has ever had.
Was hoping for fishing 😭
They all say the first 5 hour is the best but the rest is the worst game ever in this year and there is somme youtubers give it 4/10
Oomf only a 88 on metacritic. Big name AAA games always get a +10 bump so this is really 78 ish. Square execs can’t be happy.
The real Game of the year
10/10 masterpiece
No way the score is a 9 it should’ve been a 10😢
will we be able to disable the enemy damage numbers?
piperos al extreme
If it was Nintendo/Fromsoft title it would be a 15/10
Wasn’t expecting this game to so raw its like a final fantasy made for adults.
When these games starting actually looking next gen I’ll spend my money.
10/10 honestly
So this is a 9, but zelda is a 10. Interesting, very interesting 🤔
Should have been 10
Square Enix needed this W. I’m happy for them! Let’s have a strong community with this one 💪
Goty
Got my chocoballs tanglin’
We so-called “purists” don’t want “purity.” Final Fantasy has always been about thinking outside the box and revolutionizing itself. It’s an oxymoron to call us “purists.” The problem is that this has nothing left of the experience that meant “Final Fantasy.” There is a difference between “change” and “evolution.” This is not an evolution of the Final Fantasy experience; it’s an abandonment of the Final Fantasy experience and reusing the name and lore for an entirely unrelated experience. This game caters more to Devil May Cry fans than Final Fantasy fans. Expecting the next Street Fighter to be a fighting game does not make you a “purist.”
Once again, the new numbered Final Fantasy game is another Final Fantasy spin-off.
This was my main take of the day
What A Great Review 🔥🔥🔥
Mitchell you definitely set my heart on fire ❤️🔥
But they have TotK a 10 lol
The battle theme sounds like the intro to Attack on Titan!
Some reviewers actually giving lower scores for not having diversity of race is just crazy.
The question is no longer whether to get a PS5 or a Series X/S. It’s whether to get a PS5 or a PS5 and a Series X/S, which you should if you can.
50 Hours seems abit short fot a JRPG
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
The music gives me goosebumps
There is something so compelling about the idea of a dominant. A walking Nuclear Bomb of a human that can just snap at any time and go on a continent destroying rampage.
No score?.. Means – 10.
How to tell if a company has their hook in a reviewer. Every time the PlayStation controller is mentioned it’s referred to as the “Dual Sense Touchpad”. Any reasonable person would just refer to this as the touchpad. But I’d put money on the fact that Sony specially wants the full title mentioned.
Nice
Ugh a 9… of course.
This review reminds me of the dunkey critics review. Nothing but praise, you say its one most gorgeous games you have ever played. 9/10 for slight framerate drops and lack of rpg elements yet its an action rpg now and one of the most graphically impressive game ever released yet.
This game plays like DmC and that’s not a bad thing at all 👏🏾👏🏾
Damn 50 hours of story?
Just a reminder, IGN gave DeathLoop a 10 🤷🏿♂️
Talks about new game plus but dosnt even mention there are new enemies and bosses?
Let me turn off motion blur and then I’m sold
Sony soloa
10/10
Guess I’m getting a ps5
This game seems to have more in common with Crystal Chronicles
Did this guy just complain about auto win trinkets and then say he wished he could then equip even more op trinkets as it took the rpg out of the game. Cuphead journalism legit.
So Final Fantasy is officially no RPG anymore?
This game isn’t an RPG. It’s an action game.
Enemy variety is weak? There is like 10 mobs in totk. 5 bosses. Framerate drops, when dosnt it in totk? Story is amazing, story is weak totk. Ff16 9/10 totk 10/10.
Clive is the character we wanted to play in every Final Fantasy but couldn’t because he died in the first chapter of the story.
Well this guy also gave mk11 a 9/10 so im not taking his scores too serious
I’ll wait until it’s on sale, it’s worth about $40 NOT $70, nowhere near a 70 dollar experience
Wow so the voice actress for young Jill and the voice of joshua did the voices for amicia and Hugo from a plagues tale 😮
Wish it was an open world with more to do and no loading screens. Especially for a full priced and even $100 game.
Is this game coming out on xbox at some point?
A modern Final Fantasy that’s actually a complete game at launch?
That’s new
Cool
Its about time with the reviews.
IGN, redo this review and give it a 10 like it deserves please -_-
But, yeah, just over 12 hours remain until we can finally play this masterpiece. Can’t wait😃
Get Tales of Arise vibes with this one
“All that for a drop of blood”
You can watch the video till the end, it’s not a 7/10 this time
we can’t wait for the launch day to review it right? eeehf
9 but a new pokemon that is same game every year will get 10 😅
If only they gave this video a minute longer than it would’ve been hilarious.
Looks to me that 16 is what 15 should have been.
i’ll take STARFIELD over this EASY. LMAO are you kidding me
It should be 10/10..
no game that goes as low as 720p on a ps5 should get a 9…
Waiting for this on PC🥲.
8 to 8.5/10
When can we play it? Says it’s out the 21st, that’s today and it’s still not available 🤷♂️
sweet an RPG with barebones RPG features!
How does this game get a 9 but tears of the kingdom get a 10?
great review. fair points were made
9?seriously? It should be 10!
The LGBT stuff ruined this masterpiece
Why the story is so short…This is a one big minus…
Love when Mitch reveiws a big release like this!
Cid is finch from the office uk nice one
It looks like a frenetic, arcady Witcher 3. Might be great.
This is a dmc game.
Azures wrath is the worst game ever made
1:22 Thanos Time
Devil May Cry, Chocobo edition
But Zelda is a 10 even though it suffers from worse performance and worse combat.
15 min review…
GOTY for me
Seeing the Eikon icon’s. We know all of them seem to die or at least lose their power if Clive has access to them
Thank you for spoiler warning.
preordered the last minute 😅 filed a leave at work for this!!
They say its not the top of the list for combat in character action game…. So what games are at the top?
Ok Im buying it….
Cmon cmon xbox had redfall is 9 too right? 😂😂
Xbox crying in the corner
Why is every new big game a banger now? Zelda, Street Fighter, Diablo and now FFXVI, this hurts my wallet😭😂
2023 looking great, so many above 7
Me getting ready to wait 2 years for the PC port🥲
Donguri boutta break tf out this game
They really complained about not having status ailments 💀
Did my favorite too he lit the blunt at the end
Game deserves a 10 tbh, People are not giving this a 10 becuase of the same performance issues that they ignored when reviewing other games who had the same issues, like ToTK of which ign gave a 10.
Ergo, with that logic, either both FFXVI and ToTK are a 9 for having performance issues or both are a 10.
The hype was real!
Should’ve been 9.5 but 9 still solid!
Bring back Gambit system for companions!!! FF12
Never seen some many people whining a video game ONLY got a 9/10. 😂😂😂
gonna wait to play it on pc
Boy, this one scared me. XV was a fried dog turd.
Demo was amazing, and worth experiencing for the story aspect alone. If you have a PS5, you should try the demo at least.
Ugh hate when they call a final fantasy linear😢
By Mohammed’s grace…
IGN is scared of giving a 10
looks like kingdomhearts in terms of the air combat
Gameplay is kind of meh, but Im intereted in the story
Let’s go can’t wait! 🔥🔥🔥
Honestly if you think about it it’s kinda very similar seeming to FF12
At last a protagonist who is not a depressive emo.
This is a 10. Zelda is a 9. They got it backwards
Endlessly wins Marches on NEXT 120FPS SPIDERS MAN 2 BABY’S & INFERIOR RACE MARCHES ON
One of my favorite games is coming out:)
Never thought Clive Bixby will be played in a game, such a charming character
Are there no summons during regular combat ? Booooooooo
Just go play Elden Ring instead.
So tears of the kingdom with very little difference from botw and has a worse story got a 10/10? But this game doesn’t?
This game seems to have everything better besides open world exploration and puzzles (if you even care for those in games). FF16 seems have better story, combat, music, characters, graphics….IGN being IGN
Square ENIX acquisition confirms finally go SONY’S ninjago go … aka deluded 30fps GARBAGE cod to starfield dlc az usual or same RINSE/REPEATS GARBAGE or shovelware pass
What a surprise, a PS5 exclusive that gets a 9/10
They gave it a 7.5
Game will be brilliant.. just wish we could have different armor sets for crafting
Is there an option to disable motion blur in the full game? There wasn’t an option on the demo
HE’S THE GOAT! THE GOOAATTT!!!
Im gonna collect this game tmr..i enjoyed the demo so much
Boggles me that they gave totk a 10 Although the framerate was rough. And this masterpiece a 9
Finally my reason to get a PS5
Final Fantasy Fanfare for the score reveal at the end is Fire!
Should’ve been a 7
Cannot freaking wait until midnight
start new era.. ff1 again.. begins
Endlessly wins Marches on go SONY’S ninjago go. Next 120 fps spiders man 2 baby’s
REBIRTH etc to kingdom hearts 4 exclusive.
Wolverine’s etc & inferior..
2023: The Best Gaming Year?
GOTY this year FF16 or Starfield one of those. Lets see how bad the buggs will be in Starfield then we will know ^^.
If you gave it a 9 that means it really was a 10 🎉🎉🎉
Whats the final fantasy 16 end credits song
Just bought a PS5 and this demo was amazing super stoked for the full release
“Be a DLC and get a 10/10 ez”
No hate at all, but the graphics definitely look last gen but it looks like a brilliant winner.
Fk this channel and their fkn ads
So basically, its a mix of Kindom Hearts and Devil may Cry.(In terms of combat)
But Zelda gets a 10 lmao
clowns lmao gave it a 9 shouldve been a 10 and a goty
Final fantasy makes the best music. Hands down! Epic!
I’m interested in playing final fantasy Naruto. Since a select few have a tailed beast summon inside of them.
9/10 is an amazing score y’all need to grow up.
Another banger for sony….
So they give it all of this praise talking about the game implying a masterclass. But knock it down from GOAT 10/10 status because of RPG elements lacking (not really), enemy variety (k?), and slow side quests at the beginning (lol).
If they are willing to give 10/10 to other titles this should be no different based on how they reviewed it.
Zelda totk is just a better game, deal with it Sony fans
game looks visually drab
Game of the Year 2023 !!!
You gave The Last Of Us 2 a 10/10 but this is a 9/10 ? Really ?
There are more reasons to give Zelda an 8 than to give this game a 9… but we all need to play it to be sure…
4K 30fps 🙁
But yall found a way to give it a 9. SMH
Meh
IGN rated something not 7 or 7.2😂
But can you summon eikons during boss fights or normal battle….?
game made for braindead journos, not surprised they liked it, I’ll wait for the real reviews thanks
Interactive movie. DMC wannabe.
Endlessly wins Marches on. Burning SHORES
Spider 2

Endlessly wins & inferior race Marches on.. go SONY’S ninjago go
Hell no cid isnt your favorite character its torgal
Xbox fan boys crying 😂
final fantazy got 88 on metacritic
Xbox players missing out again
something tells me this guy doesn’t really play character action games
50+ hour story? It’s been a LONG while since I’ve heard that number
10/10
“Cid is probably my new all time favorite Final Fantasy character” Lol, there’s been a “Cid” character in every Final Fantasy game.
Is the performance better than in the demo?
a 9 lmao. a $70 dlc got a 10 and this is a 9.
The person who made this review is wrong. Its a 10/10 masterpiece. Its better than hogwarts and that got a 9
This is the first step to square enix coming home to daddy playstation permanently
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.
Shouldve been 10 in my opinion
So adjusted for Nintendo scoring, a 10/10.
Review scores are pointless. This game is better than Diablo 4, and Diablo got a higher score. Nuff said
Zelda is game of the year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
“They don’t change up combat in ways that make the basic fights different or more engaging”
“The RPG elements are underdeveloped”
This is BAD game design. Why isn’t this called out to be the detriment that it is???
Just about to purchase Astroneer 👍🏿
Damn, a 9? IGN usually gives 7/10 games a 9. This is really disappointing
No PC drop…. See y’all in two years.
Welcome back, Final Fantasy!
“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?
Perfect just perfect
So it got 9 same rating as call of duty and genshin impact.
🤔
Deserved the 10 honestly. Shittier releases have gotten 10s. Its a matter of hype and backlash wether or not a decently complex game gets a 10
Yes, but can we map our own buttons 😂
Goty
Im so happy
All the people who swore this would be mid are coping sooooo hard saying zelda is anywhere near as peak as this masterpiece.
Damn it… goodbye life. This and Diablo 4. *sigh*
PlayStation wins another year 💪💪💪
Thought so, and they gave Zelda a 10 :-D. Story wise doesn’t even comapre to this.
No mention of performance and graphical fidelity at all, and nothing but praises, expected from IGN. Looks like I’m waiting for real reviews to come out.
2023 might surpass 2007 as the greatest year for Video Games.
Final Fantasy 16 > trashfield
I’ll finally get a ps5 for this game
Finally Fantasy.
So many reviews not telling flaws and still not giving 10. Guess some bias to keep it low
Just waiting on that Xbox release…😐
Meh
Real question though can you pet the dog?
Today is the day my boys!
this is a certified final fantasy masterpiece
No Nintendo no 10/10
-IGN
NERD! You forgot FFIV After Life in the mainline
Disgustingly summarized version:
Everything is literally flawless except for minor fps drops and a slightly disappointing (???) combat system (???) which earned it a 9/10 from IGN.
Didn’t give it 10/10 cause it’s not open world gaming critics are so predictable
If it was nintendo exclusive would of gave it a 10/10
The demo had me in shock by the end.
Do the graphics look worse than 15?
Playing the demo sold me on it.
im waiting for the song Kenshi Yonezu moon gazing
Let’s goo. Can’t wait to play this next year on my PC !!!! Lol
this game is 9?are you out of your mind?
The team deserves that 9, im happy they got this score !
Not a 10 out of 10?!
*CANCELS PREORDER
Guess I’m waiting until next to play on PC
Need Kenny Omega in this game
Overrated game.
Just 9? Come on IGN
Hopefully it’s better then the fetch quest snore fest that was FF7 remake!!!
IGN: It’s almost perfect but we will give it a 9/10 just because.
It’s literally a peak game and you mfs can’t say otherwise.
PC version PC version PC version PC Ver………………
Only sony best game console
YOSHI P is the *LEGEND* for this game’s huge success
9
Who else fast forwarded right to the score?
Hell yeah!🙏
9 and not 10 because probably Journos low key gripes about the game not being diverse enough.
The hype was worth it.
Im shocked this got a higher rating than Gollum 😮 Anyway, Diablo 4 should be GOTY
Genuinely cant wait to play this
Everyone is giving it a 9.
Dlc from legend of Zelda = 10 😥
Final Fantasy 16 full game = 9 😅
Famitsu 39 / IGN 9 – Gamespot likely 7 😂
15+ hour story? 🙁
10/10 Game of the Year 2023 !! Sorry Zelda Tears of the Kingdom !!
shocker. ;’3
Oh.. a Playstation game rated High.. Just another day for Playstation 😂🎉
9/10. LEAVE
Gaming this year is on steroids.
He said 9
Let’s be honest 2023 is probably the best year for Gaming.
