So i kinda want to buy FFXVI but looking through the opinions and reviews it stands somewhere between the worst final fantasy game ever made and second coming of jesus wit plot ranging from infantile dark fantasy to great story with deep engaging dark themes.

WHICH IS IT?

Disclaimer: I haven't played it yet, but I have talked to people who have liked it and who have hated it.

The games is very good, but it's not a typical Final Fantasy game. They have removed, or reduced the RPG elements, and made it a very good action game with good narrative. So, if you go in expecting an RPG like previous Final Fantasy games you won't like it. If you just go in expecting a good action / adventure game with some RPG elements, you'll probably end up liking it

I think this is where most of the divisive opinions come from. It's a great game, but it's really not a final fantasy RPG, so many people aren't getting what they expected. Personally, I found it to be a enjoyable surprise.
