Your enjoyment of Final Fantasy 16 will largely boil down to what the longstanding JRPG series means to you.
If Final Fantasy means turn-based battles, chibi character sprites and meticulously managing a party, you'll likely find yourself disappointed with Square Enix's latest. However, if Final Fantasy means embarking on an ambitious tale, engaging in thoughtful combat, and having a beautiful location in which to experience it all in, you'll be more than elated.
Because while previous Final Fantasy entries have arguably struggled to find an identity since the transition to HD, Final Fantasy 16 is an excellent realignment of where the franchise should be headed.
