I mean they have 8 guiding principles but it's a fair point. I feel like the term religion is used very loosely there, but I do wonder what religion that DOES have strong guiding tenents that isn't at least mildly aggressive about them.

As an old souls player who doesn't touch many new souls games, and only really goes back to Bloodborne, I can say this is the one souls game I played, dropped, then came back and finished. Very good game, very good systems. You can tell how much they loved Bloodborne specifically when making this game. It has a very similarly focused art style and I'm a big fan.
I find that FF16 (which might now be my favorite FF just for the moments and music) is a game of very high highs and very low lows, scored with an insanely incredible soundtrack that keeps me listening and remembering all the best moments over and over again.
I find looking back on those moments as so much fun really helps me overlook the plethora of issues the game has, the relatively boring exploration and side quests, the lack of party members etc. Those are all damning for many people but I find the game strangely refreshing, and I found the combat simple but enjoyable. I honestly think the story is serviceable, but Ben Starr really brings incredible life to Clive, better than the character deserved honestly.
All in all, I'll never forget FF16. so for that reason alone it is one of my favorite FF games.
His younger years up until ~2007 are covered in "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor" and from 2007 to 2016(at least, I haven't finished it yet) is covered in "Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B-Movie Actor".
Edited it because the name of the second book was wrong. Sorry. Should be correct now!
