Is Final Fantasy LGBTQ?
Final Fantasy is more than turn-based battles and oversized swords (though we do love those). For many LGBTQIA+ folks, it offers something deeper: a space where identity, transformation, and chosen family aren’t just themes—they’re the entire narrative. Final Fantasy’s first crack at pure action-RPG combat plays exceptionally well, and has the worldbuilding and cinematic flair to ensure that you’ll want to push through even the occasionally bloated encounter. Final Fantasy XVI is a fantastic adventure, but slightly irregular.This game has a lot of the same old tropes of past Final Fantasy games, long boss battles, long cinematic cutscenes, and a story that’s too complex for it to be compelling.
