The much-anticipated latest title in the Final Fantasy video game franchise, Final Fantasy XVI (FFXVI), finally released for PlayStation 5 last week. It is the first totally new title in the franchise since Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) came out back in 2016. Even though the game has only been out for a few days so far, reviews have been coming back very positive, and the game has been challenging what it means to be a Final Fantasy title. There is one glaring thing that could have been done better, though, and that is setting gamers up with the knowledge they need to really understand the intricate story and characters. From the very beginning of the game, there are a lot of words and names thrown around with little to no explanation. The political system of the countries at war has almost no history or context given. The characters are presented like players should already know who they are.
