Do I have to play any other Final Fantasy games before XVI? (lemmy.world)

The game looks fascinating to me, but I've never played any of the other FF games. I'm aware of the characters in VII, but outside of that, would I need to play any others to play XVI?

I don’t know why people ask this about games all the time. I don’t think there’s more than a couple games (considering decades of games) where you need to play a previous one to enjoy the latest entry in a franchise.

This would be financial suicide, your potential market would be constantly shrinking with each release instead of growing

Some games it's nice to play one specific game beforehand, but not required, and not 10+ games lol

But to be fair OP did ask if there's any or just 1 game, this is why we had titles like Final Fantasy XIII-2 lol
