After nearly a year, I've completed FINAL FANTASY XVI. The extensive world and team building are significantly enhanced by the side quests, which often feature MMO-like dialogue. While these may seem mundane if you're not patient enough to appreciate the subtleties, they're integral to the game's depth.

Initially, I considered playing with Traditional Chinese subtitles and Japanese voice acting to maintain authenticity. However, switching to English voiceovers and subtitles greatly improved my experience. The English version seamlessly bridges the translation gap, making the storytelling more cohesive and engaging. For those proficient in English, I highly recommend this setting.

Progressing through the story was challenging due to my limited comprehension skills, but the game's system, which allows pausing to review idioms and story summaries, was incredibly helpful. This feature greatly enhanced my gameplay experience, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the rich narrative and complex world of FINAL FANTASY XVI.
