"FINAL FANTASY XVI" producer Naoki Yoshida's comment
My name is Yoshida, and I am the producer of FINAL FANTASY XVI. We started with a very small team and have been steadily building up our latest work. This time, you have seen a part of the trailer. What did you think of the video consisting of real-time cutscenes and battle scenes? We will continue to improve the quality of this game, and work together as a team to deliver the best game experience and story. The next major information release is scheduled for 2021, so please keep your imaginations open for a while longer!
Please continue to pay attention to the new series "FFXVI" as well as "FFXIV"! We will do our best for both!
"FINAL FANTASY XVI" Director Hiroshi Takai comments
I played the first "FINAL FANTASY" series as a user when I was a student. I was a member of the development staff for "FFV" and sat at the end of the production team. After that, I was able to work on "FFXI" and "FFXIV" and online Final Fantasy. And then...
FINAL FANTASY XVI.
I was able to work on this 16th title, and I am taking on various challenges, starting with the construction of a new development environment. Furthermore, we are developing the game on PS5. The entire staff is currently putting their hearts and souls into the development of this title. It will be a while before you will be able to pick it up, but we hope that you will wait for it with anticipation.
