  1. The Most Final Fantasy Final Fantasy

    2H AGO

    The Most Final Fantasy Final Fantasy

    Final Fantasy 16 is divisive, and I think it's also the most aggressively Final Fantasy Final Fantasy ever made. The Clive and Ultima story is Creative Business Unit III interrogating the franchise's own identity, out loud. I paired this argument with over a terabyte of custom footage I captured myself using free cam tools at the highest graphics settings — angles and moments you won't find anywhere else on the internet.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━CHAPTERS00:00 Intro02:06 Disclaimer03:39 Part 1 — A Brief History05:29 Part 2 — The Argument — Mythos and Logos08:35 Part 3 — Devil May Clive12:48 Part 4 — The Connection to Vagrant Story15:41 Part 5 — Eikons Are Emotional Architecture19:30 Part 6 — Accept the Truth22:48 Part 7 — The Brother25:29 Part 8 — I, Ultima, Am the Fandom28:38 Part 9 — The Book Is Final Fantasy━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━RESOURCES & LINKS// DEVELOPER INTERVIEWS //Naoki Yoshida sheds new light on Final Fantasy XVI — PlayStation.Blog — https://blog.playstation.com/2022/06/21/interview-naoki-yoshida-sheds-new-light-on-final-fantasy-xvi/How To Build A New Final Fantasy — Game Informer — https://gameinformer.com/exclusive-feature/2023/06/06/how-to-build-a-new-final-fantasyMaehiro on worldbuilding and viewpoints — PlayStation.Blog — https://blog.playstation.com/2022/11/04/final-fantasy-xvi-interview-worldbuildingWho is FF16 Creative Director Kazutoyo Maehiro — RPG Site — https://rpgsite.net/feature/13134-who-is-final-fantasy-xvi-creative-director-kazutoyo-maehiro-developer-profileDevil May Cry Designer Crafts Magnum Opus with FF16 — Push Square — https://pushsquare.com/news/2023/06/devil-may-cry-designer-crafts-magnum-opus-with-final-fantasy-16Don't Worry, FF16 Is Inspired By Good Seasons Of Game Of Thrones — Game Informer — https://gameinformer.com/exclusive-feature/2023/05/24/final-fantasy-16-dont-worryA discussion with Ben Starr and Ralph Ineson — RPG Site — https://rpgsite.net/interview/14419-a-discussion-with-ben-starr-and-ralph-ineson// MODERN RETROSPECTIVES //Un-Tradition: On Final Fantasy's Identity and Reinvention — RPGFan — https://rpgfan.com/feature/un-tradition-on-final-fantasys-identity-and-reinvention/Final Fantasy's Greatest Strength Has Always Been Familiarity — The Escapist — https://escapistmagazine.com/final-fantasy-strength-familiarity-not-reinvention-myth/Does Final Fantasy 16 Even Know Why It's Copying Game of Thrones? — GamesRadar — https://gamesradar.com/does-final-fantasy-16-even-know-why-its-copying-game-of-thrones/Final Fantasy XVI and the Sins of Individualism — SUPERJUMP — https://superjumpmagazine.com/final-fantasy-xvi-and-the-sins-of-individualism/FF16 Is Two Years Old — How Do You Feel About It Now — ResetEra — https://resetera.com/threads/final-fantasy-xvi-is-officially-2-years-old-as-of-today// REVIEWS //Final Fantasy 16 Review - On Its Own Terms — GameSpot — https://gamespot.com/reviews/final-fantasy-16-review-on-its-own-terms/1900-6418081/Final Fantasy XVI Review — Eurogamer (3/5)Final Fantasy XVI: The Kotaku Review — Kotaku — https://kotaku.com/review-final-fantasy-16-ffxvi-ps5-rpg-release-date-1850558485Polygon Final Fantasy 16 Review// POST-2025 CONTEXT //Yoshi-P Answers The Final Fantasy 17 Question — ScreenRant — https://screenrant.com/yoshi-p-final-fantasy-17-turn-based-action/Success of Clair Obscur Might Push Final Fantasy Back To Turn-Based — Vice — https://vice.com/en/article/success-of-clair-obscur-expedition-33-might-push-final-fantasy-back-to-turn-based-combat━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SUPPORT THE CHANNELPatreon — https://www.patreon.com/c/gaming_memoriesDiscord — https://discord.gg/yjM2j6wWEverything else — https://linktr.ee/gamingmemoriesBusiness inquiries — gamingmemories311@gmail.com━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━This started as a passion project.
