Drama
I am a Final Fantasy noob. The franchise is 12 years older than me, so I have a lot to catch up on. So far, the extent of my catch-up consists of playing 10 minutes of Final Fantasy XIV (I like the bunny race) and planning to play Final Fantasy X, but then just rewatching cutscenes on YouTube instead (it’s free and seems more efficient). Now, I’m playing Final Fantasy XVI, which may or may not be the best FF game in years, depending on who you ask. If you ask me, all a game really needs to be to be considered a “final fantasy” is magic and overwrought drama. Having a twink protagonist helps, too. — Ashley Bardhan
