I haven't had a new favorite game in well over a decade.

Welp. Here it is now.

Amazing story. Rememberable, lovable characters with great development. Incredible graphics. Marvellous voice acting. Beautiful cinematics. Side quests that constantly add to the lore.

Oh, and most importantly, there's Torgal - your frostwolf-turned-puppy touring Valisthea, accompanying Clive, your main character (and a fantastic one at that).

I have been awestruck. I have laughed. I have cried (a lot). I have cheered. I... I have been going through all sorts of emotion, quite honestly. This game's got it all. Tearjerking cutscenes, exciting combat, impressive visuals... never have I ever felt I had to recommend a game as much as I did Final Fantasy XVI.

The only fantasy here is yours, and we shall be its final witness.
