Jill absolutely deserved better… Clive is my guy but she badly needed more screentime and more love from the writers. I still love their relationship but it would’ve hit me way harder if they had cast a bit more attention onto Jill’s character and involved her as a more active part of some of the bigger plot moments.
This has probably one of my favorite soundtracks for anything released in the last couple years. Away, Titan Lost, Find the Flame, Ascension, my god. They cooked so damn good.
For what it is it’s a great game. I love my turn based games but I really enjoyed the action and how much you could play and mix/match with the different movesets that Clive acquired. The boss fights to me were the star of the show, even the non-Eikon fights. Every single one seemed to top the last in terms of insane set pieces and creative sequences.
Maybe not the most “Final Fantasy” game ever but definitely a damn good action game. Great review!
Thanks! Glad to see that you agree with my points. In a franchise where a lot of great female characters like Aerith, Tifa, Yuna are in, it is a shame to see Jill underdeveloped like this. I still love her though.
The throne for the best FF soundtrack still belongs to FFXV in my heart (bless Yoko Shimomura) even though the game itself not my favorite but FFXVI soundtrack is VERY close to dethroning it hah.
I definitely don’t have time for a 40+ hour game but I loved to read your review about it. Definitely going to pick this up in the future to at least try out.
I really agree with your takes on Clive and Jill; Clive in particular really surprised me as one of my favorite game protagonists in recent memory. I reviewed this game a little while ago, too, if you'd like to check it out.
Loved your take on FF XVI! I agree that Jill deserved a better ending to her arc, but if compared to the last main entry in the series, at least it's satisfying to see that every single plot thread is solved by the end. Overall, a great FF!

Cannot agree more.
Jill deserves better! Very very underserved character in the game!

Glad you enjoyed the read! It's definitely on the longer side, so I understand making time for it might be difficult
