Final Fantasy 16 was announced

[Enla]

No, the last one was definitely FFXII.

FFXII is less medieval so much as a blended high fantasy universe, though I get what you mean in that neither of them are modern. That said in terms of aesthetics I do hope that FFXVI takes to FFIX's side of the coin more than FFXII's. For all that I loved the world of FFXII, there's just something nice about the rustic feel of FFIX's universe. Which is kinda encapsulated in their airship designs. (With only the Invincible really breaking the rustic feel in FFIX)

I just want to know who the music composer is.
Is it Nobuo because he branded himself with the FF series?
Sokken because the trailer music they used, AND because he is part of Yoshida's team so it would make sense for them to utilize Sokken?
Or is it Yoko Shimamura once again since she did splendidly in XV?

I tried searching but, of course the information with this kind of detail wouldn't be released yet....

Also, I can't tell because of the crappy video quality on my screen even if its at its highest HQ... But... One can assume this is Luminous Engine.
However, (as it could just be my horrid eyesight,) I swore there are some parts where I could see some Crystal Engine elements.

So that's where all our sub money went!

yes, that, and Yoshi-P has been working on it as well. (producer credit)

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

Yoshi-P is credited as Producer on 16. Plus, well I'm sure there are a few 14 employees working on 16. Since it looks like an HD cutscene from 14.

Now this is a take that didn't cross my mind; could this be a new FF mmo? Would be great but I doubt it. Graphically I'd welcome it; this seemed to be presented in a regular FF kind of way to be an mmo.


No, the last one was definitely FFXII.

I get you for FF12.

I still feel 9 is more medieval than 12. 12 had more sci fi elements than 9, like the dreadnought leviathan with computers, alarms, etc.

Anyway I'm just excited we're getting brand new characters for the single player FF, for the first time, since FFVersus13 announcement in 2006.

Imagine that. 15 years since the last introduction of a new cast for single player numbered FF.

After FF15, I'm not getting my hopes up. The magic system in that title was dreadful. ...and of course there was also the butchered story.

[M0rrigan]

yes, that, and Yoshi-P has been working on it as well. (producer credit)

So it was a lie when he kept denying that he was working on FF16 and it was annoying him that people were making those rumors?

So it was a lie when he kept denying that he was working on FF16 and it was annoying him that people were making those rumors?

Think the rumour was that he was developing another FF MMO, so the idea that he was going to drop XIV is what annoyed him.

[Barraind]

Not at all impressed with the gameplay shown.

They picked perhaps the worst combat system for a ff style rpg to build off of.

Really not looking forward to 6.0 content.
