It is safe to say that Final Fantasy XVI pushes the series in a new direction by putting a heavier emphasis on action. While many modern Final Fantasy games have tried to make the game more action-heavy, Final Fantasy XVI is basically a character action game with a level-up system—but that isn't a bad thing. Final Fantasy XVI is an amazing game that has a deep story, amazing action, and incredible gameplay, and it all feels at home in the Final Fantasy franchise. Beyond that, it also makes enormous strides in the character action genre and implements action into cutscenes in an incredibly fluid way that has rarely been seen in gaming.
