In this episode of Beyond the Game Podcast, Sam and I want to talk about the new Final Fantasy 16, released officially worldwide on June 22, 2023. We both have spent some hours on the game experiencing so many different combos and abilities featured within the game with even way more to be unlocked and discovered. As a complete newcomer to the Final Fantasy franchise, I was genuinely super impressed and surprised by the overall gameplay and quality the developers have created with this game. However, not the game can be said for everyone, especially the ones who cannot appreciate the different mechanics that have been added to support different levels of gamers out there.
