SQUARE ENIX (FINAL FANTASY)
Final Fantasy storytelling is a crossroads where over-the-top anime direction and typical blockbuster cinematic flare meet. Managing both those approaches simultaneously within a single experience can be a challenging task, given how unique they are from one another, but Square Enix does it time and time again with Final Fantasy. 2020’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake is the perfect example of that, and though the game’s cutscenes are certainly not perfect (the excessive and unnecessary grunts and noises the characters make can be more than a little infuriating at times), there’s little doubt that at their best, cutscenes in the game (and the series as a whole) are spectacular affairs.
