@NSFMeow that's so lame. i think your art is super cute and very stylized. if anyone is seeing real kids in your art i think that says something about them...

I FINALLY SLEPT FOR 8 HOURS
it may have been from 11am to 7pm but STILL

@BlinkRape brave rules, idk about the crypto stuff but I just disable that.

@sapphire @qwerty @YeetLibs all I ever wanted

@erandis_vol i don't think that's the case but i'm not totally sure, i think they're just friends.

@riserise i liked it a lot! some rough areas, you know, but i loved it. would recommend if you like action games and good stories with great characters. if traditional RPGs are more of your jam you might not get as much out of it because there isn't a whole lot of strategy like there is in those, but the story is definitely there. the soundtrack is great too. not a whole lot to be upset about when you take the game as a whole.

Final Fantasy XVI is the first Final Fantasy game I’ve beaten, and it’s an incredible experience that kept me hooked for over 60 hours—a rare feat for a single-player game. While I’m tempted to dive back into NG+, I’m holding off to savor the memory and explore other games for now.

Graphics:
While regular gameplay visuals are on par with Witcher 3, lacking ray tracing and suffering from low-resolution textures, the battle sequences, especially boss fights, are a visual spectacle with stunning particle effects and excellent art design. Occasional ghosting with DLSS and blurry textures detract slightly, but the overall presentation is grounded yet stylish.

Audio:
The soundtrack is fantastic and catchy, with themes that stick in your head long after playing. Sound effects are on point, though Clive’s squeaky boots can be a bit annoying. The voice acting is flawless, with believable performances from the main cast and even side characters, enhancing the emotional depth of the story.

Story:
Despite pacing issues and the occasionally awkward integration of side quests, the main story is compelling, with strong themes of resilience, freedom, and unity. The characters are well-written and endearing, with natural relationships and dialogue that elevate the narrative. While I have mixed feelings about the ending, the story and its characters make the game unforgettable.

Gameplay:
Although it is inspired by Devil May Cry, combat focuses on timing and efficiency rather than flashy combos, offering fun but limited depth due to the absence of classic RPG elements like status effects and elemental strategies. While quests lack variety, the engaging story and spectacular Eikon battles make up for it, even if they lean more on spectacle than gameplay complexity.

Performance:
Performance is the game’s weakest point, with stutters and hitches in towns that feel out of place given its otherwise solid optimization during chaotic boss battles. Despite having decent hardware, I found the performance underwhelming, suggesting the PC port could have used more polish, especially for its modest graphical demands.

Summary:
Despite its flaws in pacing, gameplay variety, and performance, Final Fantasy XVI reaches incredible heights that make it an unforgettable experience. Its engaging story, excellent soundtrack, and lovable characters will stick with me, and while traditional Final Fantasy fans might be divided, action game fans and lovers of those good old JRPG stories are in for a treat.
