A bold claim for sure, but one that Forspoken lives up to well within just the basic aspects of its gameplay experience. When Forspoken was first shown, it was dubbed as an experience specifically built for the PS5, meaning that it was outwardly defining itself as next-gen.
With Frey not only finding that her cuff (voiced by Jonathan Cake) can talk, but also that she possesses magical abilities of her own, Frey goes on a journey to defeat the Tantas to restore peace while also discovering hidden parts of her own self. Here, a fearsome dragon roams the skies and the citizens of the royal city of Cipal are harshly ruled by the magic wielding Tantas. After seeing this strange looking cuff one day, Frey is transported into the high fantasy world of Athia. Frey often finds herself in trouble with the law more than she does moving forward in her life and now dreams of escape, which she gains in an unexpected way. The game sees players take the role of Frey Holland (voiced by Ella Balinska), a young woman in New York City struggling with homelessness and finding her place in the world since being abandoned as a baby. The newest action-RPG from Square Enix and the first game from Luminous Productions, who assisted Final Fantasy XV ’s development, Forspoken, showcases the kind of ambition any true next-gen experience should have, but is weighed down by narrative and presentation shortcomings.
