In this episode of the podcast, I talk with the seven chapter authors of this collaboration. They explore topics such as the psychology behind Final Fantasy psychologyFantasy stories, the use of gender subtypes, how music improves our enjoyment, how we develop relationships with characters, and how the game uses basic psychological engines. And that’s exactly what a group of researchers is trying to do in their new book on Final Fantasy psychology. You know Final Fantasy, right? One of the oldest and most popular game franchises of all time. And unlike many other long-running games, it focuses much more on storytelling, world-building, and character-drawing. There’s a lot going on here, and a lot to analyze from an academic perspective. Learn how feedback data is handled. December 3, 2020 on the Podcast.
