Great analysis video of FF4

I really enjoyed watching Mr Gentleman's New Video on Final Fantasy IV, it stands at about 90 mins in length but is very worth watching, the author points out a lot of Christian elements in the game, many of which I averted to in my review of the game.

What I really like is his deep analysis of Cecil's character- how he points out that his relationship with Rosa cannot solve all his problems while he is piled up in sin and evil, something that a lot of modern media ignores- suggesting that if you add romance to your life all your problems go, FFIV shows the truth of the genuine human condition.

Also clever was his discovery that the 4 fiends are the names of demons in Dante's Inferno.

he does an amazing job dissecting the game, well worth watching.

Final Fantasy XV- THE Catholic FF?

I recently came across a Youtube Channel by Ikkin which has some awesome videos on the how FFXV can be seen as supporting the Catholic Faith.

I really love her videos because she offers a sophisticated analysis of the game in the same way that I attempt to do through the reviews in this blog.

If you have played FFXV or if you don't mind massive spoilers, check out her videos, she has a 3 part series on FFXV.

I hadn't even touched FFXV prior to Ikkin's reviews, but now I am getting engrossed in it so hope do to some more posts on this game once I have completed it.

I love how in her first video on FFXV she makes a general analysis on how so many FFs are anti Catholic in story pointing out the 2 worst culprits FFX and Tactics, she does it in a really amusing style that is brutally true. As I said, watch the whole thing if you don't mind spoilers:
