Pitting our heroes, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, against an apocalypse called The Final Days, it’s no surprise that Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker is a game of huge scale.
Acting as the concluding chapter to the Hydaelyn-Zodiark story arc that’s been ongoing since A Realm Reborn launched in 2013, it had to tie-up nine years worth of plot threads and sees you galavant across the globe, hop up for a jaunt around the moon, and then shoots you into space. Oh, and there are several Gods to kill for good measure. But it’s not the epic battles or high stakes that make Endwalker worth playing, it’s the small moments – the hugs between loved ones and small smiles from old friends that truly make it special.
“At the end of the day, no matter how grand a certain history might be, it is the individual lives of the people that form those threads of history,” Natsuko Ishikawa, lead story designer, told VG247 in a recent interview.
