The Final Fantasy XVI producer says (again) that they are approaching the finish line

In September 2020, we got to see for the first time Final Fantasy XVI, and … well, that’s the only trailer we’re got from the game so far. In October, we got a clear hint that the game was approaching release, then it “mainly” was done. A couple of months later, however, Square Enix admitted that it had slipped behind schedule – a full six months. This is due to pandemic related causes.

Now the game’s strongman, Naoki Yoshida, says once again that he is close to completing the game. VGC reports on an interview in a Japanese free newspaper, and that one takes advantage of the game’s solo nature.

Development of the latest title, Final Fantasy XVI, is in its final stages. Final Fantasy XVI aims to integrate the story and the gaming experience into a single player game. Unlike online, which portrays multiple players simultaneously, Final Fantasy XVI focuses on the individual. This makes the story more immersive. It’s a very dense story.

Yoshida also hopes to bring something to life for the adults, who may have gone through one or another thorn. And not least, bring back all those who have left Final Fantasy behind. He tells:

I hope that those who once left Final Fantasy will remember how exciting their passion for video games was back then.
