Is FF16 the darkest Final Fantasy?
But it is not the darkest Final Fantasy game. Over the franchise’s 35 years, Final Fantasy has always engaged with some of the most profound and mature stories in gaming. Final Fantasy 16 is the franchise’s bloodiest entry yet, but not the darkest. Final Fantasy 14 feels like a safe place for gender expression and queerness in a way no other MMORPG really does. Despite that, the world—and its main story—don’t really acknowledge our existence in any meaningful way. The wider game has one instance of a confirmed queer couple I could find or remember.
