During Sony’s PlayStation 5 Showcase Event, Square Enix revealed their next highly anticipated title in the Final Fantasy series, FINAL FANTASY XVI. It’ll be a collaboration between Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Takai.
Below you can read comments from Yoshida and Takai
Producer Naoki Yoshida
“How did you enjoy the trailer? The exclusive footage, comprised of both battles and cutscenes running in real-time, represents but a fraction of what our team has accomplished since the start of development on this, an all-new FINAL FANTASY game – Our next big information reveal is scheduled for 2021, so in the meantime, I expect everyone to have fun speculating, as we have a lot in store—not only for FINAL FANTASY XVI, but for FINAL FANTASY XIV, too. I’ll be working hard on both!”
Director Hiroshi Takai
“When FINAL FANTASY I was released, I was just another player─a young student with big dreams. By the time FINAL FANTASY V was in the works, I had earned myself a seat at the developers’ table… albeit at the very end. From there, I moved “online” leaving my mark on both FINAL FANTASY XI and XIV,
and now…XVI.”
“The team and I have taken on countless challenges during our journey to bring you the sixteenth chapter in the storied FINAL FANTASY franchise.We’re pouring our hearts and souls into this project each and every day, it may still be some time before we can get it into your hands – I promise it will be worth the wait!”
FINAL FANTASY XVI is a single player action-RPG, currently being developed by Square Enix for PS5 consoles.
