If all goes as planned, Final Fantasy XVI should soon be talked about again, since Naoki Yoshida promised to give us news of the project during this spring of 2021. In the meantime, the only news surrounding the game at the moment is the arrival of a range of clothing Final Fantasy at Uniqlo, in which the sixteenth episode is also present. On this occasion, the producer spoke with Uniqlo during an interview, which was spotted and then translated on Reddit, and which teaches us an interesting detail.
A Final Fantasy for those who have lost their passion
Yoshida Naoki says that FF16 is already in the final stages of development, and he says the story is a very well fleshed out one.

In this interview, Yoshida wants to reassure those who are impatiently waiting for the game, stating that development is visibly nearing its end. :
” Currently, the development of Final Fantasy XVI is in its final stages.. As a single-player game, we aim to integrate story and gameplay even more. It’s different from a game where many people are playing online at the same time, in that the game focuses on the individual, which changes your immersion in the story. I think it’s a story with a lot of depth. To people who grew up, who entered the working society and who think that “reality is not as easy as a video game”, and at some point, who ended up walking away from the license Final Fantasy, we want them to remember their passion of yesteryear. We create the game with this intention. »
Words that make you want to know more, and that actually give hope that the game will reappear soon. Fingers crossed and wait a little longer.
