Clive Rosfield’s journey in Final Fantasy 16 provided Starr with plenty to sink his teeth into.

While we didn’t reviewthatliterature, we did check out the game. In ourFinal Fantasy 16 review, we praise the actors who brought the story to life, the willingness to try something new, and much more.
“In ditching turn-based combat for combo-heavy melees, Final Fantasy 16 recaptures the spirit of reinvention that the series lends itself to,” we said. “This new approach to action coalesces with a world you’ll want to explore, and an endearing story which is powerfully executed by its voice cast.”
