Back in February, I was lucky enough to attend a hands-on preview event for Final Fantasy 16. I left that event ready to tell everyone who was fretting over the game’s many changes to the Final Fantasy franchise formula that there was no need to worry. What I had just seen was one of the most thrilling and beautiful demonstrations of next-gen gaming I’ve had the privilege of playing over these last few years. Maybe it wasn’t a traditional Final Fantasy game, but it was something that everyone was going to have to experience for themselves.
