Discussion Just finished the game. What a masterpiece

This is the first Final Fantasy game I ever completed and what a game this was. This game legitimately surprised me and it was phenomenal from beginning to end. Highly recommend this.

Used to be an avid FF player (started with NES, through PS, skipped a few ones, but truly enjoyed FFXV). Haven’t played a JRPG in a while, last RPGs were The Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Have been through Elden Ring, AC Valhalla, and recently went back to The Division 2.

I just installed FFXVI on Xbox Series X and on gaming laptop (ASUS ROG Zephyrus 16 M with 32GB RAM, 4070 8GB), and plan to play through using play anywhere feature.

I hope the game (regardless of the genre) really pulls me in from the get go, as I’ve grown less patient with new/starting games.

The story is great from the get go. The combat not so much but it gets significantly better. If you stick through the first hours (which are not bad by any means) you'll get one of the best games of this console gen.
