Final Fantasy XVI Previews

Thread: Final Fantasy XVI Previews
Do any of the videos show world exploration? All the ones I watched only showed endless dark gritty dude beating stuff up with fancy effects. They've been showing that stuff since the start. I'm interested in what exploring the world looks like.

Thanks for sharing all of these Grisham.

I never knew it was due so soon.

Some big news regarding the battle system. The series has been persistently transitioning away from actual turn based for a while. I still enjoy these games, but do prefer the old school mechanics to be honest.

I buy the mainline games tho, either way.

They said it won't be open world but yeah, it will be interesting to see more of the world and how much you can really explore.

From what I heard. The world will be split into sort of 'mini sandboxes' that you select via a world map-like screen.

Final Fantasy 16 producer ‘would like to release a PC version eventually’ | VGC

But Naoki Yoshida says it definitely won’t arrive when PS5’s six-month exclusivity period ends…
www.videogameschronicle.com www.videogameschronicle.com

"First of all, it is true that Final Fantasy XVI is a six-month limited time exclusive on the PS5 platform," he told the Japanese PlayStation Blog (translated by Google). "However, it is a completely different story that the PC version will be released in half a year. I will make it clear, but the PC version will not come out in half a year.

"This is because we spent a lot of time and money optimizing the PS5 platform to deliver the best gaming experience. Of course, I would like to release a PC version at some point so that everyone can play as many games as possible.

"However, even if we start optimizing the PC version after the PS5 version comes out, we won't be able to optimize it in half a year, so it won't come out in a short span of half a year. I would like to release it eventually, and I think I will, but I am not at the stage where I can say when."

Yoshida added: "First of all, I would be happy if you could play the PS5 version, which I made with the thought of being the best game in the world. If the PC version comes out in half a year, I can quit the company (laughs). Please don't say, 'I won't buy the PS5 version because the PC version will be released in half a year'.

Imagine being able to interview Yoshi-P about the game and asking him this shit:

Ash Parrish (The Verge): In an interview with IGN, you addressed Final Fantasy XVI's struggle with diversity. In that interview, you said the homogeneity was chosen on purpose because of the isolated nature of the politics and the world in itself and that was the kind of story you wanted to tell. You wanted to focus on this isolated place [where] people all look this same. We respect that that's the kind of story that you want to tell but from that interview, there have been a lot of concerns and comments from fans of color that feel a [certain] way about it, thinking that because this place [Valisthea] is based on European history, that automatically defaults it to an 'All-White' setting. I wanted to know if you had the opportunity to hear that feedback and what you might want to say to fans of color who are turned away from the game.

Most of these "games journalists" are just wannabe activists who hate games and are actively trying to destroy them.

I'm black, and latino, and I sure as hell don't fucking care, never did. If anyone really cares, they really didn't want the game in the first place 🤣.

Anyways, on topic:

CHUUUUUU CHUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Can't wait!!!

I'm afraid you aren't allowed to enjoy it, you have to follow along with them because of your condition, otherwise they'll call you an uncle john. Or an uncle juan maybe. Wait, uncle don juan, thats it.

Yes its hyper stupid really isn't it, it doesn't matter what you say to these morons they'll find a way to see the bad in it.

Outright embarrassing.

Yoshi-P should take questions from sites like D-Pad instead, I don't see this place pulling shit like that, maybe just bombarding him with actual questions about the game.

Final Fantasy XVI PS5 Exclusive Because Sony Co-Developed The Game and Can Better Market It

Why is Square Enix giving Sony the gift of a PS5-exclusive Final Fantasy XVI? Partly because Sony helped make the game.
wccftech.com wccftech.com

True third-party console exclusives are rare in this day and age, and yet, Square Enix's much-anticipated Final Fantasy XVI will be available on PS5, and only PS5, when it launches later this summer. The game will eventually come to PC, but producer Naoki Yoshida has made it clear we'll be waiting longer than the contractual 6-month PS5 exclusivity agreement for a port.

So, why is Final Fantasy XVI bucking industry trends and sticking to PS5? Well, according to an interview with Yoshida from Japanese gaming site 4Gamer, Sony is actually a co-developer of FF16, working closely with Square Enix to ensure the game is fully optimized on PS5. Getting the full heft of the PlayStation's worldwide marketing team behind FF16 doesn't hurt either.

"From our point of view, the technical support we receive from the hardware manufacturer is a big factor to signing [exclusivity] contracts.

This time, there was a [time period] where we were developing together with SIE engineers, who know the hardware thoroughly down to the core and we received generous support in optimization that we could not manage on our own and so on. Also, by not developing on the premise of multiple platforms, we could invest more man-hours into things such as building the game and optimization. In addition, we can also do promotions together globally that make me wonder, 'How much would this be if it was converted to money?' Technological and promotional support are things we would like to receive if we can receive them."

Interestingly, in Wccftech's recent interview with the producers of Final Fantasy XVI, Yoshida confirmed that the game is running on an all-new engine (rather than the Luminous Engine of FF15 and Forspoken) -- an engine it sounds like Sony may have helped develop. That may go a long way to explaining why the game will be debuting on PS5.

"To talk a little bit about business, Forspoken and Final Fantasy XVI began development around the same time. Final Fantasy XVI is actually using an engine we've created specifically for Final Fantasy XVI, so there isn't much sharing of technology between the Forspoken and Final Fantasy teams."
