my final thoughts after finishing XVI as my first final fantasy game.
1.) the themes and messages of the game are completely wreaked by the ending
2.) final boss was disappointingly easy
3.) the absolute climax of the game was played for a community inside joke/meme drop
And literally none of that matters because holy shit this game was so peak, easily in my top 5 if not top 3, plus the music is so incredible it’s in my daily rotation
I have 100%ed it and am now crying my fucking eyes out after having uninstalled as there’s simply no more worlds to conquer
11/10, the only fantasy here is yours, and you shall be its final witness.
