In this video, we dive into the art of character introductions in video games and why they’re crucial for setting the tone and engaging the audience. From the lackluster introductions in Final Fantasy 14’s A Realm Reborn to the epic entrance of Cid in Final Fantasy 16, we explore what makes a character’s first impression memorable—or forgettable. We also look at how games like Persona and Baldur’s Gate 3 nail character introductions by creating immediate bonds and intrigue. Join the discussion on your favorite (and least favorite) character intros in the comments! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts! #Gaming #CharacterIntroductions #finalfantasy
