I love Final Fantasy 16 — everything from its combat to its brutal storytelling makes me excited to be a gamer in the Year of the Realm 2023. It’s one of my favorite Final Fantasy games, and an RPG that’ll be near and dear to my heart forever. Not every Final Fantasy or RPG needs to be like this one, but there’s one feature that Final Fantasy 16 has that every game needs to jump on: Active Time Lore.
Active Time Lore is a feature that lets you pause in the middle of a cutscene or gameplay and display encyclopedic entries pertaining to relevant events in-game, such as persons, land and histories, mysteries of the realm, and bestiaries.
