Final Fantasy XVI felt like a return to form, but also fell short in a few ways. I really grew to love the combat, it felt a bit button mashy at first but the balance of Eikon moves and normal sword combat felt so smooth, and it was fun to string combos and move sets together. The music was hit and miss for me, some tracks were bland but the tracks that were memorable to me were some of the best I’ve heard in the series. The characters were interesting, some were extremely underdeveloped. Overall, I enjoyed it and will probably revisit when the second DLC comes out.
