Final Fantasy XVI, is a game that I can't help but love. In the era of video game discourse, where blanket statements, all-or nothing journalism holds a dark grasp on commentary, I wanted to shine a light on what it truly means to love this genre, and the games within it.

This video is my testament to what it truly means to love something, to Final Fantasy XVI and it's messy, yet passionately beautiful story. I'll be diving deep into each individual segment, the gameplay, narrative, music, in an attempt to both critique the game's missteps and highlight even the smallest of touches you may have missed.
