Summary
After playing Final Fantasy XVI, he calls its flashy combat bland, shallow, and inferior to Elden Ring and Diablo 4. He criticizes the near absence of builds, skill trees, gear, armor, and meaningful customization, saying visuals replace RPG depth. He also rejects the dark character designs, mismatched English voices, monster battles, and story, recommending Japanese audio instead.
Insight
His nostalgia for traditional turn-based Final Fantasy drives a sharply negative judgment of modern action-focused design.
