Some players got their hands on early retail copies of Final Fantasy 16, opening the spoiler floodgates. This development has left players scrambling to block spoilers for the upcoming RPG across multiple social media sites so that their experience isn't ruined by early story reveals.
Final Fantasy 16 is one of the highly-anticipated PlayStation 5 exclusive titles that has surprised many with its engaging storyline and flashy combat. The game is expected to be one of the best RPGs of the year, and it's shaping to become quite popular among PlayStation 5 players, especially with its Game of Thrones-inspired narrative that can be felt from the moment the game begins. Final Fantasy 16's Active Lore System has also ensured that no players are left behind as it superbly helps provide players with context behind each of the game's pivotal moments in real time.
While fans are eagerly waiting for Final Fantasy 16's release, some others have managed to snag early physical copies of the game. This was first spotted by a ResetEra user who pointed out that early copies of Final Fantasy 16 have been spotted in the wild and that some users have already started talking in-depth about the game's mechanics, side content, and of course, story spoilers. Some fans were curious about this and have begun asking questions about the upcoming game's story thus far alongside more personal questions such as whether they enjoy the game or if there are mechanics not found within the demo.
Other players certainly aren't fans about this development as several users in the forum have reported that they will attempt to block any and all spoilers regarding Final Fantasy 16, to prevent the ruination of their experience. Of course, it's better to act now as the spoilers thus far are only limited to the beginning of the game and are bound to become more prominent as early players gain access to endgame intel. Some users have suggested measures such as cleaning the search history from YouTube and blocking keywords on Twitter to prevent any unwanted information from reaching their feeds.
With one week before the public release of Final Fantasy 16, players will now have to hope that major story spoilers don't appear in their social feeds. In the meantime, however, players can still access the demo that lets players have a taste of Final Fantasy 16's combat system and gain a sense of the flow that can be found throughout the full experience.
Final Fantasy 16 launches on June 22 for PlayStation 5.
