"Near-Perfect Score: Final Fantasy XVI Review"

Final Fantasy 16 is a character-driven story with grand world-building and glorious battles. It's a bold new direction for the beloved franchise, but it's also the best mainline, single-player Final Fantasy game since 12. The game boasts an impressive cinematic quality of storytelling and a largely excellent combat system. While its overall quality does dip outside of the main plot, this is still a must-play action RPG, and the best single-player Final Fantasy in over a decade.
