Product Information

Set in the world of Valisthea, Final Fantasy 16 follows Clive Rosfield as he attempts to atone for a catastrophe in his youth that saw his family ripped apart and marked him an outcast. Legendary’ is a term that’s thrown around in the video game industry far too frequently for its relatively short existence. The side content does feature great writing, and the quality of the missions themselves improve right as the game is about to conclude, but it then runs into the pacing issue of going full-pelt towards a thrilling finale, leaving little incentive to go and do those side missions, unless you’re a completionist.

In one way that’s always the trade-off with RPGs of this size – you’re dealing with end-of-the-world level threats, but sure, I can take some time off to serve some meals around the outpost.

Final Fantasy 16 is a gorgeous game. There are moments of visual fidelity that rival anything available on console today. The character models alone look like pre-rendered CG of the last generation but in full motion. There’s also excellent cinematography throughout, which elevates the scale of the titanic fights even further. Scholar’s Glasses” are accessories that increase the amount of experience points you can gain when equipped. The flip side of this coin is that the game’s RPG elements aren’t as fleshed out as in previous games. While you’ll be introduced to your first sidequests fairly soon after the game’s prologue, these are doled out in random batches, and even when you do get more, they aren’t massively engaging.

With Final Fantasy 16, Square has developed a game with the swagger and show-stopping confidence, even if it won’t please every fan that’s been on the journey so far.

Due to the high price of the Collector's Edition and the fact that it is physical only, though, most fans will likely be facing a much simpler choice: should they buy the Standard Edition of Final Fantasy 16 or the Deluxe?If you want to give Final Fantasy 16 a try before you commit, Square Enix has graciously provided a long demo of the PS5 version of the game. The demo features the game’s prologue with multiple hours of gameplay. Better yet, your progress in the demo carries over to the full release. Premium Statue – Phoenix vs Ifrit – A premium statue depicting a battle between two eikons – Phoenix and Ifrit Clive’s move set is varied, and there are plenty of options in terms of how you want to build your own Clive, but the game does somewhat drip-feed access to the new Eikons in a way that’s frustrating, especially given how fun they are to use. However, we did find a lot of the early enemies to have far too much health, which doesn’t make them difficult, just spongey. This becomes less of a problem later on.

FINAL FANTASY XVI Collector’s Edition

There are a couple of extra items exclusive to the collector’s edition, including a Phoenix versus Ifrit summons statue, and a collection of Eikon pins that look pretty dope. Owners of the collector’s edition also get access to the Blood Sword DLC when it releases, although Square Enix hasn’t confirmed a release date for the supplementary content. There is one, very weird tradeoff here, however. Some cutscenes, which are large during side quests, feature stilted animations and camera work which hurts the game’s overall presentation. That being said, these moments are few and far between and soon drift from memory. While you’ll be introduced to your first sidequests fairly soon after the game’s prologue, these are doled out in random batches, and even when you do get more, they aren’t massively engaging.” The collector's edition is available exclusively on the Square Enix Store.
