Final Fantasy XVI

Final Fantasy XVI is an adventure role-playing game, the sixteenth in the series. The action takes place in Valisteya, where there is a struggle between states for sources of power, and the fate of the world is tied to creatures called Akons. Battles take place in real time: combinations of blows, magic techniques and switching styles determine the course of the battle. Between missions there is exploration, tasks and conversations with allies. The plot is presented on a grand scale, with long scenes and political lines. It’s worth mentioning separately about the combat system: switching between styles and techniques allows you to adapt to your opponents, and this does not happen right away. In addition to battles, there are allied missions, blacksmithing, and side stories. The plot unfolds in large scenes, with time for exploration in between. The design and music make the production large-scale, and the characters are memorable not only the main ones. The duration is long, so it is more convenient to play the game in a measured manner rather than in one gulp. Side quests give useful items, so it is not profitable to refuse them even during the main line. Combat styles switch on the fly, and this is noticeable when fighting large opponents. Blacksmithing allows you to improve your equipment, so it's worth collecting materials as you travel. Side quests provide useful rewards and reveal side characters that might otherwise be missed. The game requires attention, but compensates for it with entertainment and music. For anyone who loves big role-playing stories with strong production, the Final Fantasy XVI gives the complete package.
