Attack On Titan
Eikons, which are big Summons in Final Fantasy 16, fight each other during big boss bouts. Nations control these Eikons by putting them inside people they call “Dominants.” Dominants are like walking nuclear bombs, similar to how Titans are used in Attack on Titan, a famous anime and manga series.
A accurate version of the first few arcs came out in 2016, and it’s a thrill ride. In an action RPG, it’s a lot of fun to fly through towns and kill huge monsters. So, people who liked the Eikon parts of Final Fantasy 16 might enjoy this.
Devil May Cry 5
Ryota Suzuki was a part of making Final Fantasy 16’s battle system. Before this, he also worked with Capcom on the fight parts of Devil May Cry 5. There are many stylish action games, but Devil May Cry was the first. In the game, there are three main characters, and each of them has a different way of playing.
Nero, for example, can use his cybernetic arm to slingshot around the battlefield, while Final Fantasy 16 just stands still and lets his called beasts fight for him. The battle system in Final Fantasy 16 is good, but it’s nothing compared to this game or series as a whole.
Diablo 4
Final Fantasy 16 is related to Diablo 4, and it’s not just because they were both launched in June. Ralph Ineson, who also does the voice of Cidolfus, gives Lorath his sound. It’s crazy that the star is in two big RPGs in the same month, especially since he doesn’t usually do voice acting for games.
Even though the action gameplay isn’t as smooth or intense as Final Fantasy 16, it is incredibly rewarding. There’s just something so delicious about getting more valuable items.
Elden Ring
Even though it’s been over a year, Elden Ring is still a big deal because fans keep finding out new things about it. They can’t stop being amazed by the open-world settings, which were a huge step forward for all games like Souls. People who miss the open-world design of older Final Fantasy games might want to check out Elden Ring.
It will definitely make things harder, but there are also parts that are easy to understand. Co-op can even the odds when fighting bosses, and the open world lets players take on biomes in any order they want, with a few exceptions.
NieR: Automata
NieR: Automata shows how bad life can be. The Earth is in ashes, and the last people on it live out their lives in space. The player takes on the job of 2B and is partnered with 9S. They are robots that these people who are still alive sent to Earth to help gather information that will help the species stay alive.
Even though the story is sad, the action is so much fun you won’t believe it. It was made by PlatinumGames and Square Enix, and if you find this game interesting, there is now a cartoon you can watch.
Shadow Of The Colossus
Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most popular PS2 games. It can be summed up as a set of boss fights where a young warrior must use only a sword and a bow to defeat giant monsters. It was fixed up on PS3 and then redone on PS4. Which is how the game should be played now.
It looks great on the PS4, and the PS5 makes it even more beautiful. It’s not like many other action-adventure games. This is a scary game with a big surprise at the end. There isn’t much of a story, though. It should satisfy players’ giant-love for Eikons in Final Fantasy 16 if they like them.
Triangle Strategy
Triangle Strategy is the best thing that has come out since a new Final Fantasy Tactics game in a long time. It was also made by Square Enix, and the gameplay is a standard strategic one. Fans of Slope Game might think it’s an odd choice, but the sprites shouldn’t trick players.
The story is full of political underhandedness, and it’s all about something as simple as salt. There are also different ways to go through the story, which gives players a reason to play it more than once.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The people who made Final Fantasy 16 say that Game of Thrones had a big impact on the game. From a TV show’s point of view, that’s true, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt must have affected it in terms of how it plays. Final Fantasy 16 doesn’t have an open world that changes and it doesn’t have big conversation trees, but it does have action.
Also, Clive’s rough voice and manner remind me a lot of Geralt, the main character in The Witcher series. It’s one of the best action role-playing games ever made. It can even be played on Switch, so there’s no reason not to enjoy it after Final Fantasy 16 ends.
Final Fantasy 16 came out on June 22, 2023, and you can get it for PS5.
