Announced in 2020, Final Fantasy XVI does not yet have a release date. As a result, the slightest information that filters is taken up and amplified within the community. The latest, we owe it to an interview with Naoki Yoshida (the game's producer) published as part of a collaboration between Square Enix and Uniqlo for a range of clothing – and relayed by Reddit. According to him, things are progressing well, even very well.
“Currently, the development of Final Fantasy XVI is in its final phase, he explains. As it is a single player game, our objective is to go even further in the integration of history and gameplay. Unlike a game where several people play at the same time, the approach is more individual, which changes everything in terms of immersion. I think it's a particularly deep story. For people who grew up , who entered the world of work and say to themselves: 'Reality is not as simple as in a video game', and who ended up walking away from Final Fantasy, we want them to remember the passion that drove them and that they come back. We are developing the game with this idea in mind."
A little over a year ago, the same Naoki Yoshida indicated that Final Fantasy XVI would be a little more action-oriented than its predecessors. "We are creating a Final Fantasy with a lot of action but also a great story, he said. Of course, Final Fantasy is a series that attracts a lot of players who just want to enjoy the story. We have So we're planning a mode and elements to go along with players who want to focus on the storyline. We're working on things like easier access to controls."
For the record, Final Fantasy XVI will be released exclusively on PS5, but temporarily a priori.
