Final Fantasy XVI - You Aren't Ready For This Epic Adventure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2023
- You’ve never played a Final Fantasy like Final Fantasy XVI. Rob has spent weeks drinking in the story, combat and lore to bring you spoiler-free impressions of Clive’s epic tale. FF16 is not your traditional Final Fantasy, but whether you’re a lifelong fan or Final Fantasy 16 is your introduction to the series, we think you’re going to love it.
Final Fantasy 16 departs from the traditional format of the series, with crunchy real-time combat and a focus on darker political machinations as the world of Valisthea is torn apart by warring nations. Getting your head around the chewy lore of FF16 is part of the pleasure, helped by being in the company of some insta-favourite characters: Clive, Cid and Jill. Oh, and as you can see from our glorious Final Fantasy 16 gameplay, the game is properly gorgeous, scaling from bucolic fields to titanic battles that shred the landscape. FFXVI truly has it all.
Final Fantasy 16 releases on PS5 on June 22nd and the internet is filling with glowing Final Fantasy 16 review words right as we speak. Do you have any more questions about our Final Fantasy XVI impressions? Pop them in the comments. And if you can’t wait until tomorrow, you can check out even more Final Fantasy XVI gameplay ( • Why Final Fantasy XVI ... ) and our impressions from our first look at the game ( • We Played Final Fantas... ). Yes, we’ve gone all in on Final Fantasy XVI and think you will too.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Rob is the David Attenborough of video games. I could listen to him talk about them all day.
Video games: A Witness Statement, by Robert S Pearson.
I agree
👏👏👏
Yeh that's the perfect analogy 😂👌
He should be narrating nature shows and describing dung beetles and viper snakes with video games descriptions. This needs to happpen!
Rob, I'm not joking...Square Enix needs to hire you for their marketing. You just sold this to me on every level. Thank you!
Yes, FF16 is just that good. Rob is excited but not exaggerating at all.
Any video with Rob just puts a massive smile on my face. I just love listening to him and i feel his passion
I’m genuinely happy for Rob. He champions Final Fantasy, and his love for the series reminds me of mine. This has to feel like a years worth of holidays for him. Cheers!
Couldn't agree more! I've been following his obsession with these games for what feels like a decade now and I'm so happy to see him gushing over this game. It feels like everything he could've wanted in a final fantasy game and then some🙏
You can tell Rob has a huge passion for video games with how he talks about a particular game in these videos
Can't wait to no life this in 9 hours
@Kalder. I won't even know what the word life will mean after this release tonight
I know have to wait till 9 o'clock tonight guys for pre orders
Still debating whether or not I want to start a new game tonight. Ahh, too exciting.
So happy for everyone that gets to play this. I unfortunately have to wait till the next business check to come in I am literally buying a PS5 just so I can play it. I’m getting the ps5 FFXVI bundle so the system will come with the game. I’m trying my hardest not to watch any more gameplay other than the demo. But here I am watching reviews just to give me something.
@@calvinharrison1567 hope you enjoy, it's gonna be super worth it
Holy hell the 'Active Time Lore' feature sounds like such an amazing idea, it's baffling that nobody thought about implementing something like this decades ago. I throw money at this game just to show my support and appreciation for this feature. I can't stress enough how brilliant I find this.
It's inspired by GoT season Blu-ray features it seems
Yeh I agree. It makes it so much easier for the game to have deep lore as well....the type of lore you'd only fully understand if you read absolutely all of it. Such a ridiculously cool feature.
@DarkNeogen oh really? Which season? That's really interesting...
THIS is the review I was looking for.
You can always trust Rob with his way with words. Absolutely resonates and you can feel his passion coming through.
Thank you for making this. CANNOT WAIT to play this tomorrow!!
Now that you've played it do you still think his review is good or do you think it was bought and paid for by square and sony??
Rob's amazing way of writing and delivery once again. You hyped me. Now, I'm off to play FFXV for I do not yet have PS5 or a good TV for it.
Always trust Rob to bring the feels. Great review!!
I’m actually impressed that I have a handful of times during my current 10 hour play through that I actually gaped at the screen just wondering to myself how did they (1) create something so beautiful. (2) get that particular scene approved. (3) create such a masterclass of a sequence that my eyes are literally melting.
Like, I’m wondering from one moment to the next how they’re gonna top what they’ve already done and then I just sort of nod like “yup, that definitely tops it.”
The cinematics, the sadness. The storytelling is definitely on another level.
So far basing myself on the demo.
Learned that the voice of Clive his father passed during the making of final fantasy 16 and I think it shows on his performance that scream alone for Joshua reminds of when a mother screams for losing a child I can't wait to experience this 😢
Thank you Rob! Your enthusiasm is infectious. This was a wonderful spoiler fee roundup.
Anyone loving Rob's monologue's? I'm sure I'm not alone here :D such artistry and pacing can't go overlooked
I have been WAITING ON ROB doing this!!
Basically gets me through the feels with any FF game Rob talks about and this is no exception.
Rob you’re the man and the whole team rocks. Eagerly awaiting tonight’s midnight release (at home) 😁😁
By the gods of story telling and reviews, if I was not already obsessed with the game, this review would have done the job! Excellent review mate!
Absolutely loved your review. Thank you!
I swear you all make the most hype videos on this platform. Especially with reviews of AAA games. They’re equal parts hilarious and exciting. And I love the wording. “Slurped up the sugary delights of FFXVI teary eyed childhood promises”. I’ll never not watch PS Access reviews.
I could listen to rob talk about final fantasy all day, always get an amazing review. I was honestly going to skip this game but after I watched this video I bought it the same day. I’m 85% through so far and absolutely loving it! It’s the first final fantasy since X that the story has gripped me & I love all the characters.
You can feel the passion. I'm so excited for this game
Go Rob, haven't heard you so excited about a game in a long time.That's the vocabulary turret we all love ,thumbs up 👍
This is the most entertaining review I've ever had the pleasure of listening to 😂👏👏
I can always trust this channel to give me the best reviews of games I want to play and this just helps me decide I can't wait to play this game
Preordered this morning can't wait!
No better man to review Final Fantasy than Rob himself. Cheers mate!
This is my FAVORITE review of this game ! Thank You 🙏🏾 😭🔥🔥🔥
I'm in! Loved the demo and looking forward to tomorrow.
Well y'know Rob - FFXIII started Final Fantasy's tradition of in game glossaries but I digress, EXCELLENT video - I was bought this game as a bday present - can't wait to start playing it!
I can't wait for tomorrow, so excited! Bought myself a new tv this week just for FFXVI.
I love Final Fantasy, but I've had no idea why, I haven't been super excited on 16. I've only thought it was alright, but didn't jump out to me. And it's bothered me. But, after this video, I'm all on board and excited for when I get to play it! Thank you, Rob! You sold me!
I've bounced off every FF game I've tried, for one reason or another, but after giving the demo for 16 a go I immediately got my preorder in. I'm finally feeling the hype when watching Rob talk about a FF and I can't wait to dive in myself! If I hadn't been sold on the game before, I most certainly am now!
This video gave me goosebumps on a level that is only beaten by Rob's Vagrant Story video.
I am SO excited. I was admittedly a bit worried when the promo mostly showed one character, bc one of the main things I love about FF is the bond between the party members, but Rob managed to assuage that fear a bit lol
Rob's excitement is infectious
Can’t wait for my copie to arrive! I’m looking outside every chance I got to see if the delivery come in!!!!
Eagerly waiting for my copy tomorrow
"The genre's rebellious child" I like that. Whenever anyone asks me about FF from I'm going to tell them that. I can't wait to pick up my copy tomorrow!😁
Great review Rob as always. Mine arrives tomorrow but it’s one of my birthday presents off my husband, and my birthday’s not until September! Think I might intercept it when it’s pushed through the door or just mope around the house till he gives in.
Tell him either you get the game now or he gets no “relations” until September
Love rob with the script he writes with his videos
Killer video Rob
I picked up the demo to try it since i hear FF games are good and i did not expect what i got. Its changed my view on JRPGs altogether.
Its the quality i expect, the quality we used to get. Dare I say its one of the best games Ive ever played.
grabbing my copy this noon after my shift at work and i can’t wait to finally be a hermit this weekend.😅
Not Joshua crying in the background whilst you inject the melodrama. 😂😭
👀
Sadly I don't have a PS5 yet and won't have one in the near future, so I will just watch some playthrough videos this weekend.
I hope everyone who gets to play the game enjoy it!
What a brilliantly crafted video..Not the biggest ff fan but Definitely getting This 16 day one
Loved the demo. Diving in tomorrow :)
Well fiddle-dee-dee, that was a heck of an endorsement. Can't wait to play it.
POD squad Rob, congrats on making a FF16 review better than anything else on UA-cam!!
Fantastic video you had me laughing 😆 👍🏻
Downloading it now. The demo was superb and can't wait until I can dive into this story.
Rob's enthusiasm before this encouraged me to download the demo, and then watching this I am determined to buy this once payday has arrived!
This man has convince me to buy so many games. But this has to be the most passionate positive review. I'm convinced I'm missing out if I don't buy it now.. Ty rob. Excellent job presenting this game to the rest of us.
So excited to hear its truly focusing on story and combat and keeping the world a little more contained ❤
I skipped a bunch of ff's but that boys club 15 driving semi open world kind of beckons me for a curious spell..
Downloaded and can't wait for midnight
Counting down the hours!
People keep saying this game leaves the original fans behind, but did they forget that it's been so long that the original fans are now grown up?
This is the first FF I'll be playing since X. I love the medieval ones the most.
Can't play until Sunday 😭 but this has me so hyped.
Can't wait to play it!
Wish Rob could voice the protagonist for FFXVII! 😊 He's SO right... FFXVI plays nothing like the classic games but captures their feel in a way I never expected. This game has consumed me!
Friday feature incoming: 7 best in-game-map-lore-thingies.
Thankss Robb I believe in you !
I was watching this when the doorbell rang, it was the delivery man with my PS5 and FFXVI 😬 time to set up and install 👀
Please finish the video first.
@@PlayStationAccess I did ☺️
Yes, I got GoT and Classic FF vibes too, plus got Attack on Titans vibes when an Eikon appears on the battlefield, because it changes the mood and no one is safe when they appear, even if they are on your side.
This is the Finalist of Final Fantasies!
Demo was great but I would have loved a gameplay like FF7 remake.
Especially being able to play different characters. I feel like that was the best compromise between action / turn based.
When it comes to Final Fantasy, the only opinion that matters to me besides myself-is Rob.
Everything about this video is perfect. ❤
I know the game will be good already. I'm just here for Playstation Access' scriptwriting and Rob's delivery of the review. Never disappoints.
Im happy to hear we can pet targol. Now to go get my inner lanniester on when i get my copy tomorrow
I think it may be time to boot up the demo in anticipation for tomorrow. I've been holding off :D
Bought a new tv just for this game... cant wait for this epicness!
talking about voice acting the spanish(latino america version) surprised me, the voices fit the characters AND the lip sinc is incredible
Rob for final fantasy is absolute perfection
So hyped! 😆
They need to hire this guy as a narrater for gaming. He has the funniest charisma.😂
Cannot wait for my PS5 disc version to get delivered to me! 😭🔥
you did an amazing job just talking about the game lol. woohoo can’t wait
LMAO 12:20 so true so true !
5:13 is that Alan Partridges' friend Michael?
PS. Kind of cool that Cidolfus is played by "Finchy" from The Office (UK)😂
oh i am ready, this game is going to be incredible
EDIT: Robs comedy chops are still fantastic, he can be funny without even trying and when he makes a joke he effortlessly knows how to deliver it, love it :)
Missed out on a good " I did not say fiddle dee dee" joke on that close up on Rob 😂
I think Square has finally woken up to the fact that a good if not major portion of FF players are old now. They played the older titles in the series as kids and are now old. I myself am 41, I didn't even start playing FF games until VII, so a lot of the people that played the entries before VII are even older than me. Thank you Square for finally realizing we don't need FF games to be rated teen anymore.
Had to come to hear Rob gushing all over it. As if it would be any other way :D Love to see it
I started playing ff7 in middle school on ps1, and ever since have felt obligated to play them all. Im proud to say that I've kept that obligation now 3 hours into ff16.
That war chicken comment was hilarious rob se exited for the game canny wait ❤❤❤
Already laid the groundwork for throwing a sickie tomorrow
This is my first FF game and I must say it is phenomenal
Rob still at the top of his game ❤
Christmas Maze Eikon Challenge. MAKE IT HAPPEN ROBERT S PEARSON!
I finished final fantasy 16 today and.... Wow this game is amazing I'm so glad I bought this game.
It's an absolute masterpiece.
I absolutely love this game. I’m about 30hrs in.
I had no real interest in this, until I played the demo and holy crap I was hooked. Can't wait to see more
Im so excited for this game
Excellently glorious, to bad i have to wait 6 months 🥺
Game I have been most excited for this year! =)
I love it so far. But it kinda feels like I'm just walking down a hallway on my way to the next cutscene/boss fight.
Maybe I'm too early into the game
I am trying to pursuade the other half that we need to get the collector's edition.
