  Make a part II on XVI. There’s so much esoteric topics woven in this game.

  I wanted to watch this video of yours since it was launched, but only now I&apos;ve managed to complete the game. Thanks for the video! Your comment section is also very good.

  This video demonstrates why some people thought XVI&apos;s narrative was weak. &nbsp;They clearly missed (or didn&apos;t understand) the symbolism.

  This is why I&apos;m beginning to truly like Japanese game design over western. Many modern western developers are afraid to implement complex concepts and symbolism into their games in fear of not reaching mass appeal, but Japanese devs understand that you can implement such things in your work and the people who have the knowledge will appreciate the concepts and symbolism, while others who might not catch them can still have a great experience regardless.

  Another thing is Mythos and Logos is the same translation for &quot;word&quot; and the way that the ancient Greeks saw mythos and logos, was that they were not complete opposites but two different ways to convey the truth, another thing I haven&apos;t seen anyone talk about is the image of Ifrit risen looks like Neon Genesis when Unit 01 has the wings, and the symbol that Ultima has, looks like a Sephirot
