10 Crazy Celebrity Cameos In Video Games You Forgot About

If you’ve ever sat back and thought your Final Fantasy mobile title would be vastly improved if you could play as one of the biggest pop stars in the world, then do I have the entry for you.

After arriving at the Dimensional Vortex in Brave Exvius you can select the Dangerous Woman Tour event, knock out some foes, and recruit yourself a tiny pixel Ariana called Dangerous Ariana. She’s got her latex bunny mask on from the video so she doesn’t actually look too out of place in the Final Fantasy-verse, on top of which her limit break called “Touch It” is actually weirdly super useful? So say Thank U Next to your other party members and give her a try if you’re a fan of the game.
