After XV, FFXVI FAR exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely put it as a top 5 Final Fantasy game, personally.

Agreed, 15 was a huge let down for me because I didn't take a college course on the lore and watch the movie and all that, so I just kinda went through it like "okay, and...?" And then the game ended.

The game had so many moments where I said "this seems like it should be a big deal". It turns out the moment was tied to the movie/show/DLC.

For me, XVI is the most narratively impressive game I've ever played.

It's definitely among the best and most powerful narratives I've played through. Up there with Last of Us 1 and 2 (although I'd put it solidly 3rd, behind those two).
