Visually stunning
A violent, bloody, complex and gripping story.
A more mature Final Fantasy, far less "Ado J-Pop".
Almost no downtime or filler
A masterful staging of the fights.
Dynamic fights and an overwhelming display of power.
Endearing characters that we love to follow.
A growing threat and well-executed plot twists

We would have liked the mini-map in the top right corner.
Some will find it too directive or too narrative.
A very complex scenario that would have benefited from being slightly more developed in its first part.
A certain lack of skill trees beyond the abilities of the Primordials.

The first half of the story. Valisthea and Clive.
The combat system. The leaders and duels between Eikons.
At the audiovisual level, it is overwhelming.

Very precise action control.
New features will be introduced with tutorials available for a long period of time.
Instead of offering difficulty levels, FF16 offers a system to dynamically simplify or automate features.
The story quickly gains momentum and skillfully balances exposition.
The Active Lore system displays, at any time, upon request, memory aids on characters, kingdoms, and relevant concepts in a scene.
50 hours of gameplay with the New Game Plus mode.
The extremely fun combat system is easy to understand, but offers a lot of depth.
Exciting story full of humor, twists and emotional punches.
A large number of small boss fights with a cathartic offensive following the tactical stun of the enemy.
Epic and overflowing boss battles against huge Espers.
Flexible composition and improvement of fun special attacks.
Many side quests and some activities such as arcade games and monster hunting.
A sustained pace avoids stretched-out sections and minimizes boring journeys through a good distribution of quest objectives.
Beautiful environments, especially in nature.
Impressive cinematics, especially when the huge Espers come into action.
Smooth performance in quality mode.
Strong and powerful landscape design
Grandiose and epic orchestral soundtrack, also featuring catchy tunes outside of battles.
Strong actors compensate for the weaknesses in the facial expressions of the game models.
Also mainly a strong German composition and translation.

The measures taken by opponents make targeting a specific enemy partly complicated.
The controller is more than adequately occupied with functions.
The role-playing game elements are poorly developed.
Often very linear and with almost no incentive for aimless exploration of open areas.
The layout of a dungeon without imagination rarely offers alternative routes.
Not free from small plot errors.
Wooden facial expression of character models.
The performance mode struggles in the test version with noticeable drops in FPS and significant losses in terms of resolution.
There is little damage backstage during fights.
Individual supporting roles in German dubbing are less convincing.

The inspiration for Game of Thrones is certainly too obvious for some.

The change in gameplay action, although with some limitations, is perfectly suitable for all types of players.
Art direction and execution capable of showcasing the battles to their fullest potential, especially during the awe-inspiring boss fights.

Due to the lack of deeper role-playing mechanics, one sometimes feels a sense of repetitiveness.
Not all side missions are captivating, and furthermore, there is a lack of a true endgame.

His story is deep and captivating, standing out for its character development and world-building.
Great combat system, which hooks you from the first minute and never gets tiresome.
Its artistic design is exceptional, which is particularly evident in the sets.
Incredible and memorable soundtrack from the talented Soken.

There is not a good balance between playable sections and cinematic sequences, which affects the pace.
The role of the component is anecdotal, and beyond fighting, there is not much to do.

Chronography and all the documented aspect of the universe which is very useful.
Flawless dubbing, especially in English.

Impressive production values and explosive cinematic flair
Excellent voice acting and casting that bring the characters to life
The core mechanics of the combat feels crunchy and responsive
Easily the most fun version of Cid ever
Masayoshi Soken deliver's a powerful and emotional score

Barren gameplay that lacks variety and questionable game design flourishes
Dull and uninspired side stories/side quests
Bland art direction and story elements lifted from Game of Thrones
Locked into an embarassingly easy normal mode until new game plus
Boring level design with no sense of exploration or discovery

Missions are often a failure rather than a success.
Facial animations could benefit from a little extra work here and there.
Vocal work in English sometimes misses the mark.

But the expressiveness is not always impeccable.
Role component reduced to the bone.
Characters and their relationships are a bit weak.
Many needlessly verbose dialogues.
