Final Fantasy 16 | Exploring the "Big Picture Why"
291Discussing a topic that's been on my mind since the "Awakening" trailer for Final Fantasy 16 aired in September of 2020 at the Sony State of Play:
Why is Final Fantasy 16 shaping up the way that it is? Why a single-player non-MMO action RPG Final Fantasy set during medieval times, featuring series recurring themes reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy? And helmed by a producer known for excelling at MMO RPGs?
To better understand how the game intends to succeed, it's handy to understand what it was setting out to achieve to begin with - by understanding the objective, the purpose, the north star that's guiding the decisions behind why the game appears to be manifesting itself in the way that it does.
