Final Fantasy 16 was announced

[ElazulHP]

So they just announced FF16 on the PS5 Showcase. The story looks like it could be pretty good, but I'm not to keen on the action combat coming over from 15. What do you guys all think?

Final Fantasy 16 has officially been announced as a PlayStation console exclusive.
Edit: And will be available on PC as well

I'm fine with how the combat was shown. I prefere fast paced action.


Looks really fun, I hope they will add a very hard mode, my only gripe with 15 was that it was way too easy.

Final Fantasy 16 has officially been announced as a PlayStation console exclusive.

Will also be available on PC, there was a small note on the bottom of that screen stating that.

So that's where all our sub money went!

Going to be on PC too it looked like.

Battle system: Looks boring, I don't want to dash and fly in the air like in XV
Everything else: Looks interesting, specially the focus on the Eikons. What ultimately breaks/makes FF is the cast, and so far I'm not seeing anyone that catches my eye in it, looking as generic and samey as FFXV.

Big plus: Towns and places seem to not be in modern day america

That explains why there is no content in XIV, dev team is actually making FFXVI.
So, will people who sub to XIV get XVI for free or for -50%? We already funded the game.

developed by business unit 3, aka the one Yoshida's in charge of, if I saw it correctly.

well, time for some speculation now: I recall an older interview in which Yoshida stated that he'd be willing to pass on one of his 2 positions (can't remember if it was director or producer specifically) to someone else with MMO dev experience. Yosuke Saito (the other guy from the NieR raid) jokingly stated in his video message during last years anniversary stream that he'd love to join the XIV team and take over as producer. Saito and Yoshida have already worked together before on Dragon Quest X.
So, should Yoshida be involved with FF16, then I won't be surprised if Saito fully joins the XIV team and takes over one of Yoshida's positions
