The Final Fantasy series has a reputation for reinventing itself with each new installment. Final Fantasy XVI follows that tradition by being the first to earn an M rating and to fully embrace real-time combat. While its grimdark tone and diminished RPG mechanics mark a radical departure, this game contains series staples like over-the-top magic spells, malevolent gods — and chocobos. Despite the darker veneer, this is still very much a Final Fantasy game.
