Final Fantasy XVI

June 25, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

I'm not normally one to pick up games on release day. especially not games that cost $70. After I played the FF16 demo though, I knew I had to pick this one up. I'm about 5 hours into the main game, so 7 total including the demo, and while the game so far hasn't quite hit the levels of the demo,...

I was able to get one for MSRP. Nintendo games never drop in price and having the console is the only way...

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
