    Final Fantasy 16 is my game of the generation! yes it is objectively not as good as many games, but the experience and how it made me feel is unmatched.
  • Kingdom Hearts 1 is my favourite comfort game, and that is because it was the first game I played that I had to work to understand the menus and light rpg elements (I was born in 1994 so maybe I should have encountered that sooner, but whatever). Kingdom Hearts has lots of problems, but I would love to hear Tim talk more about the series. Heard him mention it a zillion times, and if he has talked at length about it somewhere, I would love if somebody could point me to it. Idk if its the type of game that everybody on the show would want to talk about, but I would love that too.

    It's almost as if Square listened to Tim's review of FF7 remake that said it should just be an action game. They went ahead and made FF16 a focused and grand action game. To it's praise or criticism?.... You decide.
  • @leftovernoise
    I simply could not imagine being such a grubby little homunculus that someone else saying they enjoyed a video game, angered you so much youd have to leave a long disgruntled rant to said person.

    Wait wait wait....was the whole testimonial section just to dunk on that one commenter?!? ☠
  • @SIXminWHISTLE
    Testimonials were good, especially Gita's, but could have done without the late game spoiler.
  • @dandon1968
    haha i like the juxtaposition between the serious and the joke testimonies. but i am curious, did you guys tell those who review the game seriously that ff16 is on top of your list because you think it's funny?
  • @Seligsuper
    shoutout chat gpt for writing a handful of ff16 reviews for these very busy youtube guests. never heard of kim justice but SURELY she doesnt write like that all the time, right?
  • @cubedstan2621
    I would kill to hear the reactions of the insert credit peeps to the 3rd party FF16 reviews, but I will settle for imaginary raucous laughter.
  • @pie6088

  • @jordov9398

It has many features, such as being a game that is played in a video manner. That's one of the things about Final Fantasy XVI. Some call this game the best game of the year 2023. Some call it that. That's something that many people have said. Many people say this. That Final Fantasy XVI is a video game. That you use a controller to control the characters on the screen. And they have attributes such as health and mana. And these are all things that are part of the Final Fantasy XVI experience. Some say that this game is the best game of 2023. Some have said this. Many have said this. Some of those people, saying this. So, "Final Fantasy XVI is the best game of the year" is something that people have said. And it is a video game. It's a video game.

    I died a little inside whilst you played the "journalist" review montage.
  • @daycampgames
    Glad FF16 is getting some love. While I prefer the party based entries in the series more focused on the classic ATB format, 16 is such a beautiful action game with one hell of a leading VA. Also, Lady Ghostbusters wasn't bad because women starred in it. It was bad because it wasn't funny.
  • @Angielos
    Why are all the testimonials sarcastic BS? What is it about being associated with Tim rogers that makes people try and pretend to be him
