Sacred Symbols+, Episode 286 | The State of Final Fantasy XVI (Patreon)

Undoubtedly, Final Fantasy stands out as one of the most prominent and acclaimed franchises in the gaming industry, representing the most valuable asset of its developer, Square Enix. Despite the existence of 15 core installments and numerous spinoffs, the release of a new numbered title is still considered a momentous event. Just this past week, Sony partnered with Square Enix to give us an extended look at the upcoming title in the series through State of Play. Thus, the key questions are: how was the preview, and were we impressed by it? To address this question, I, Dustin, invited Gene Park, a Final Fantasy enthusiast and beloved figure among the Sacred Symbols' audience, to discuss it. While it was primarily a discussion on Final Fantasy XVI, we dove deep into the current state of the franchise and what makes it so special to millions of fans. Enjoy!
