The game looks fascinating to me, but I’ve never played any of the other FF games. I’m aware of the characters in VII, but outside of that, would I need to play any others to play XVI?

    Nope! All mainline Final Fantasy entries are independent! There’s common themes, elements, character names, etc. but you can learn about them from any of the games. Final Fantasy XVI is actually pretty different in tone from the past several mainline games so it’s arguably more distinct. That plus the active time lore system make it a great jumping in point in my opinion
