The most amusing thing about this Final Fantasy 16 trailer, aside from the random assortment of sports stars, is how it attempts to appeal to both Europeans and Americans simultaneously. It means there are some people you’ll recognise and others you probably won’t – it all largely depends on which continent you’re from.

For example, we doubt there’ll be too many Europeans familiar with San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, but here he is with a DualSense in his hand! And his sections intertwine directly with Alessia Russo, the former Manchester United footballer who’s realised she can get a better contract elsewhere. Other appearances include Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies, college basketball player Angel Reese, French F1 driver Pierre Gasly, WWE superstar Xavier Woods, Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli, and American gymnast Suni Lee. It’s all over the place!

The video’s targeted at more casual players who perhaps don’t understand what Final Fantasy is all about, and it makes very clear that the latest game can be played with no prior franchise knowledge. Obviously, Sony has been pushing this title hard as it’s a timed console exclusive, and this is just its latest attempt to help make the release a mainstream sales success.
