I can't imagine this not being my Game of the Year
EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
Hayes Madsen CGMagazine
Even just hours in, you can see the ambition and confidence the development team has with Final Fantasy XVI. It still has the key elements of Final Fantasy, but it’s also unlike anything that has come before. There’s a sense that this is an evolution for the franchise, and that might be exactly what it needs.
Logan Moore Comicbook
after having played an extensive chunk of the game for myself, it seems safe to say that this is shaping up to be one of the best experiences of 2023.
Ketil Skottle Game Reactor
When future generations look up epic in the gaming dictionary, there's a good chance an image of Final Fantasy XVI will pop up next to it, because everything about Square Enix's latest instalment simply operates on a scale that's hard to beat.
Alex Donaldson VG247
in terms of voiceover and performance, this is undoubtedly going to be a series high; It’s clear that this is the most confident and complete main-line Final Fantasy game at launch since the PS2 era
Jordan Miller Video Games Chronicle
after decades of what felt like chasing the unattainable dream of emulating the importance and impact of Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 16 feels poised to firmly position in the middle of those tired late-night pub arguments over the series best.
Simon Cardy IGN
Combat never fails to impress; That heightened sense of cinema translates equally well to the battlefield with each encounter feeling like a real event
Easy Allies
You get so attached to these characters so quickly. Even though you do not control them, it really gave you that party member vibe
Devil Never Cry
“If the rest of the game matches the quality that I saw here… This is definitely going to be Game of the Year”
Final Fantasy Union
For anyone who places narrative on a high pedestal, things like this are a dream… Active Time Lore only serves to elevate this notion.
Curious Joi
I don’t want to make your expectations so high but I cant, I cant, this game is just… You guys are not ready!
Game Riot
I am completely sold… One of my most anticipated games coming out this year
Havian
Hard to stop paying since I always wanted to see what was about to happen next
Miss Bubbles
100% going to be a Game of the Year contender
Fighting Cowboy
This is a franchise we’ve seen evolve over time and I grown up with it and we are finally getting a chance to play a Final Fantasy that is frankly made for adults… it gets going fast - they set the stage with an absolute bang
Jessie Cox
Final Fantasy XVI, just like XIV, intends to tell you a complex, compelling story giving characters and moments the right amount of time to marinate
Mr Happy
Even if you’ve heard of the composer Masayoshi Soken, I still don’t think you’re ready for what your ears are going to hear
BlitzZ
An experience that even non-action gamers will appreciate because the story and characters are doing something that I strongly believe will revolutionize the way games are made
Alex Moukala
The emotional response created in me to play this game was unavoidable
PrimalLiquid
If the game continues in the direction that it was going and that I think it’s going to… it’s going to be a top 3 Final Fantasy game. That is how excited I am for this game.
RogersBase
If any game has the potential to swipe the title of Game of the Year from (The Legend of Zelda) Tears of the Kingdom, it’s going to be Final Fantasy XVI
