Final Fantasy XVI releases lengthy, lore-centered trailer

The newest Final Fantasy (FF) game, Final Fantasy XVI, just dropped a trailer that shed light on the world setting and political conflict fans can expect from the game.

Who shall claim their fading light?
From a single spark, will the land ignite
A new shadow rises to fall upon the Dominants,
painting their destinies black as night.

The four-minute movie-like trailer was basically an exposition dump of what to expect in the new FF entry. The game is set in the realm of Valisthea and the game is centered around mothercrystals which multiple kingdoms seek to claim and control for themselves to enhance their own power. FF XVI revolves around two characters: Clive Rosefield and his younger brother Joshua, the latter being a Dominant (people who can summon other beings of great power called the Eikons a.k.a. the typical FF summons) of the Eikon Phoenix.
