Change is a necessity of life, even the most prolific and long-lasting series realize that change is inevitable, and more often than not a good thing. Few games make that clearer than Final Fantasy XVI, an entry that transforms the series into something wildly new and ambitious, while still retaining the heart of what makes Final Fantasy special. FFXVI is a high-intensity action game that packs a serious punch with its unforgettable boss battles, tight combat, and emotional gut punch of a story. With the game finally coming to PC, if your rig can handle it, you can now jump into one of the best action games of the decade.
Like most Final Fantasy games, FFXVI is entirely unconnected to the rest of the series, so you don’t need any prior knowledge to play it. The grand fantasy narrative of the games takes place on the continent of Valisthea, a land separated into six different kingdoms and empires, like the Grand Duchy of Rosaria and Holy Empire of Sanbreque. These different realms have warred for centuries for control of magical Mothercrystals, enormous power sources that act as fuel for technology.
