Part 7/9:
The long-running Final Fantasy series faces a mixed review with Final Fantasy XVI, releasing on June 22nd. The host openly expressed a dislike for Final Fantasy, criticizing its extensive character creation and dialogue-heavy gameplay, which he finds overly tedious. However, he noted that this latest installment appears different—more action-oriented, akin to God of War, with less emphasis on extensive cutscenes and character building.
The trailer conveyed a darker, more kinetic combat style, promising a more engaging experience. While the host remains skeptical about the series' traditional format, he acknowledged that Final Fantasy XVI seems to be moving in an exciting, more dynamic direction—something that could appeal even to those who typically dislike the franchise.
