Final Fantasy XVI's action gameplay is initially bracing—but fails to evolve in the manner of past games in the series
is also kind of, a little bit, sort of … boring?
That’s the conclusion we’ve come to after 60 hours with Square Enix’s bombastic latest—which, as it turns out, isn’t enough time to finish it, but might, possibly, be enough time to be finishedit. And, as we’ve noted more than once in this space, that’s a hard thing to hold against a video game: After all, it’s a rare film, or even TV show or book, where “Yeah, it didn’t hold my attention into Hour 61" is a credible complaint.
It’s a perfectly thrilling action game—at least, at first. Heroic protagonist Clive is fast-moving and versatile, bouncing across the battlefield with his loyal dog in tow. The game’s Stagger system, which encourages you to wear down bigger enemies’ stamina bars before unleashing maximal damage on them once they’ve been stunned, lends a natural rhythm to the fights.
