Final Fantasy XVI’s Graphical Evolution is Staggering

Devoted followers of Final Fantasy, as well as gaming enthusiasts in general, recognise the series’ penchant for delivering top-notch visual experiences, particularly on the latest consoles. We all remember being awestruck by the PS1 FMVs in Final Fantasy VII and mesmerized by the epic opening sequence in Final Fantasy X on PS2. It’s best to set aside the less memorable Fabula Nova Crystallis chapter on PS3 (though even those games had their visual appeal) and recognize that XV was a stellar display on PS4 and remains visually appealing today.

Just look at how much better Final Fantasy XVI looks since it’s first announcement trailer years ago! It’s crazy to see how far they come this looks incredible!
