So i kinda want to buy FFXVI but looking through the opinions and reviews it stands somewhere between the worst final fantasy game ever made and second coming of jesus wit plot ranging from infantile dark fantasy to great story with deep engaging dark themes.

WHICH IS IT?

It reminds me in a lot of ways of FFXIV. It was made by a lot of the same people so that's no surprise. It's fairly dark but it's a good story. The expansions are way too short - I had hoped they'd add more depth to some of the back story.

I enjoyed the game a lot in spite of its shortcomings. It doesn't have as much "extra stuff" to do as many other final fantasies but the core game is solid.

I ended up picking up the PC version to play through again. The PS5 version is held back a lot by the platform.
