Show Notes
Final Fantasy fans are familiar with a range of characters meeting their demise and dissolving into crystal dust, and Final Fantasy XVI does not shy away from the series’ tradition. In this episode, we go through every death in Final Fantasy XVI in chronological order and discuss who met their untimely end, how they died, and how it impacted the rest of the story. From being stabbed by a sword to being chopped by an ax to being lasered by a dragon and everything in between -- the FF16 grim reaper claims heroes, villains, and no-names alike, only this time, the crystal dust is replaced by blood splatter.
