As a fan of XV (despite its many flaws) and another superhero-ish game called Gravity Rush, I was very excited to get my hands on Forspoken. With magic powers granted to her by Cuff, Frey is the only one who can stop the four Tantas, steal their powers, and find a way home.įorspoken is something of a superhero game, and is the sophomore effort from Luminous Studios – an in-house team at Square Enix who previously developed Final Fantasy XV. Athia used to be ruled by four Tantas, kind sorceresses who kept peace and helped the people, but that age has passed and the mad Tantas now spread chaos and a corruption called the Break that turns living things into golden beasts. Putting it on takes her to another world: Athia. Suddenly, she spots a golden cuff in an abandoned shop. Having been abandoned there as a child, it seems as good a place as any to think. Making sure her cat, Homer, is safe and sound, she heads back to where it all started: the Holland Tunnel.

Immediately after getting a second chance to turn her life around, the gang burns down the apartment she’s been squatting in. The rock being a New York gang she owes favors to, and the hard place being the judge she finds herself in front of again as a result of those favors. Frey Holland is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
