Final Fantasy 16 Will Be The First In The Series To Drop An F-Bomb
There are some big games launching this summer, and if you have no interest in The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy 16 might well be the biggest. A series with so many titles it's difficult to make a new game with many firsts. However, one of the developers has revealed Final Fantasy 16 will be the first in which a character says fuck.
