My current goal: Take more cute pictures of the tiny puppy Torgal

If you’re like me and sort of on the fence about buying Final Fantasy XVI, I highly suggest you give the demo a try this weekend. It’ll only take you about two hours, and has a pretty cool combat trial you unlock after finishing the main portion. The demo gives you a good idea what the combat will be like, plus a quick introduction into the world of FFXVI

What’s especially important is that the demo lets you experience what the cutscene-to-combat ratio will feel like. A decent amount of the demo is spent watching cinematics, but the story is extremely engaging and kept me hooked from the get-go. Plus, the cutscenes feature an adorable puppy, so now my PS5 media gallery is filled with screenshots of lil’ Torgal. That might be the only selling point some of you need. — Jeb Biggart
