Final Fantasy 16 Was Temporarily Free on PS Plus Extra, Premium

Not popping up for me! I played via disc so it just shows the normal price in the UK store.

Doesn't show for me.

Seems like we'll be FF16 as a plus offering down the line, someone probably flipped the switch early accidentally.

Well I'm sure Sony is giving SE some money so they can stop complaining about meeting sales targets

Didn't FF7Remake get added to PS+ for free one month in a year's time? Would technically fall under the same timeline if it ended up being free in the near future.

I've recently 100%'d this game, not only from a trophy stand point but an in game one too and it's quite possibly one of the best games I've ever played. It's the first mainline FF I've played since XII on the PS2!! The change in combat took a while to adjust to as I do prefer the turn based style, but what a game once you nail the mechanic's. So, the more people that can experience this game, the better, and no, I don't work for SE....

@Waa-Laa

I completed the demo on PC last week and it was alright, nothing special. Many say that's the best part and the game gets a bit meandering, unchallenging and full of dull fetch quests from then on, so I'm not interested in seeing any further.

Glad you enjoyed it, though.

This is not the case on the store in the UK. Just looked.

@Frmknst do you think PS will delete this article seeing as it's long ceased to be true?

@Waa-Laa Will definitely be my favorite FF game for a loooooong time just because it is what got me completely invested in the FF genre and FF14.

A game I haven’t played and really want to would become available on Extra the day after I move from Premium to Essential.
Course it would…

@InsaneWade indeed it did. And then there was a free ps5 upgrade but not for those who received the game via ps+. Cue much crying and hands being thrown up in the air and screams from the braying crowds about boycotting Square for such shameful shenanigans forcing Sony or Square to issue said upgrade to everybody...and balance was restored until China started making really good games and single player ones too..

@Waa-Laa I am about to start FF16 so your comment reassures me that I’m in for a good time.

I have played most FF games, and just recently completed FF15, which I actually loved. I only intended on finishing the story but got so engrossed in it I literally watched the Anime and movies, read the books, and am two achievements away from the Platinum (which I will get before I start my journey on 16).

I’m assuming because I was one of the few who loves 15, then 16 will also be a hit with me.

Reports of, also reads made up. But I checked the inevitable answer, wasn't disappointed.

@Kienda you're in for a treat then, that's all I can say 👍🏼

@Kienda as a big FF fan who’s been playing them for three decades now, it’s a GREAT ff game, you’ll love it! As for 15, easily a top 5 ff for me, possibly top 3.

@InsaneWade it did, yeah.

@jrt87 So, I will say Square Enix did do a patch for the game to mark side quests that are actually relevant to story/unlock features over side quests that really only provide EXP and some materials. So, you could ignore the fluff and focus on only the important stuff.

Unfortunately for me, those came AFTER I did all possible quests in the game (so I was basically at the end of the game).

The game was fun, but it it's more like God of War than Final Fantasy and the writers added a lot of the "F-word" for no reason other than to be edgy.

Some of the world lore is pretty sad and messed up, but the overarching storyline is basic Final Fantasy fare (not that there is anything bad about it, just doesn't break any new ground).

The highlights of the game are the spectacle Eikon battles and cutscenes, not really the in-between. For me, it was a good game, but not an amazing GOTY-contender that I expected based on comments about the game.

I honestly preferred FF15.

@jrt87 Agreed, the entire game is like this, there’s some AMAZING moments, some of the most epic in gaming history, but also the other half of the game is just full of dull fetch quests, overall I’d say this is an 8/10 as I did have a good time.

I can almost bet it will come to PS+ once it gets announced for Xbox (rumored to happen as soon as next month).

Thanks internet....you just ***** up a totally legit, free game.............BOOM.

@Waa-Laa totally agree with you. I played most of it on Action Mode in one month but then did everything possible in Final Fantasy Mode within the next year. I even started a new game plus again yesterday with everything unlocked and upgraded and 2 million Gil. Still looking forward to playing through it again 🙂

@GamingFan4Lyf Only time you would ever hear a lot of F words is if you are constantly getting to low health because other than that there really isn't a whole lot of cussing.

@Nepp67 Clive says it over and over again in the prologue at one point.

No, it’s certainly not as rampant as something like GTA, but it’s definitely there and it always felt tacked on for the sake of having mature content.

@GamingFan4Lyf No he doesn't, he says it very rarely in the prologue section. Once again, rarely does anyone say "F***" in the game. Play the game again. The most that it is ever used is when Kupka is on screen and that is when he loses against Clive during the first time. Cussing in this game anyways is rarely used and used appropriately.
