On Thursday, Sony delivered an impressive line-up of first looks into new titles for the upcoming Playstation 5. Among the trailers revealed, fans of the Final Fantasy series were especially excited with the announcement of Final Fantasy 16, a news story that appears to pay homage to the roots of the series.
Final Fantasy 16 looks to be based in a more medieval world than other recent entries in the series, with magic and crystals seeming to play a vital role. Summons, another staple in the series, appears to be a large part of the gameplay. The combat system resembles that of FFXV.
Final Fantasy XVI wasn’t the only title that Sony showed off either. Stunning footage of the Demon’s Souls remake was also shown, getting fans of the now 11-year-old game more excited than ever. A gameplay demo for Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Resident Evil 8 were revealed along with a teaser to God of War 5.
