Final Fantasy’s Worst Enemy is Itself

After the emergence of Final Fantasy XV, many thought the game that had stumbled out of development limbo resurrected the franchise, where it surpassed over six million units in sales on the day of release, breaking a series record. There is also some stipulation that this ambitious title is not the new flag bearer for the series, but quite the opposite.

Although the series still bears the same theme of the hero’s story, where the hero first discovers themselves, and slowly we are introduced to the antagonist, the hero’s vision, and the hero accepting their fate, Final Fantasy has become what some fear is reality: art created with good intentions gone terribly wrong.
