In-Depth Spoiler Review: youtube.com/watch?v=htwxsxpkExM
Spoiler free review of FFXVI. Clips from the game in the review are almost entirely from the demo, leaving out the ending of the demo and some of the twists. Any scenes shown after the demo are just scenery for the graphics sequence, some misc gameplay examples, a couple tiny post demo scenes for story discussion, and training mode. Although, if your spoiler definition is anything in the game being shown then this isn't the review for you. Fortunately, that's almost always not the case.
I intend to try to make a full spoiler review of stories & fights if I have time enough before FF7 Rebirth is out, so I can deep dive better. But this should cover my overall thoughts of the game. I scripted and voiced this before the first DLC came out. After playing the DLC, it did improve a couple things exclusive to the DLC area, but this review still ages fine at the moment until possibly the final DLC comes out, since main game is pretty much unchanged by DLC1.
