If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve always said, it\u2019s that Final Fantasy games should let us control our summoned gods and primals as if they were Godzilla and fight fellow summons in boss-like battles. Okay, I\u2019ve never said that, but dangit, I wish I did because it looks like that\u2019s precisely what Final Fantasy XVI is delivering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Square Enix released a new trailer during PlayStation\u2019s State of Play showcase<\/a>, and it was our biggest and longest look at FF XVI yet<\/a>. This nearly three-minute trailer featured fresh\u00a0details on this entry\u2019s story, extended looks at combat and gameplay, and more. It also introduced us to several new characters that appear to be central to the narrative of FF XVI who can seemingly transform into, or at least embody, primals…or summons or gods or whatever you want to call them this time around. And it looks so dope.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 <\/p>\n It\u2019s already very cool that these characters can seemingly transform into classic Final Fantasy summons like Shiva, Ifrit, Bahamut, or Odin. Still, FF XVI seems to be upping the ante with how we\u2019ll interact with them. Case in point, head to the 1:45 minute mark in the trailer below, and you\u2019ll see\u00a0it appears Phoenix is fighting against Eikon of Fire. What\u2019s more,\u00a0there are two boss-like health bars at the top of the screen for each respective creature. Put all of this together, and I think we\u2019re going to control these summons as if they were Kaiju ready to\u00a0fight against others. Perhaps this is just styling in the trailer, but I don\u2019t know; I\u2019m getting big 3D brawler vibes out of this scene and the Ifrit versus Titan one that follows. And god, I hope that\u2019s what it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
