Final Fantasy XVI
The next Final Fantasy game has been announced and it looks like we will be seeing a Final Fantasy XVI in the near future
It looks like Square Enix is already gearing up for the future of the PS5, as we now have the announcement for Final Fantasy XVI coming to the system. It is not clear if it will be a 100% console exclusive, but given how the companies play together, I will not be surprised if it is that way. What I am a bit surprised on is that this was not the Final Fantasy I was hoping to see get the announcement as some of us are still waiting on the second episode of the other huge title that they put out and left us hanging on so far. I am looking at you FF7 Remake. Although, I am sure the teams are large enough that we will see that and this title sometime soon-ish.
Anyway, here we go with the sixteenth full title to the Final Fantasy numbered line and it looks like we are going back to a fantasy medieval setting with this one. Not the stylized versions we have seen in the past, but one that looks a bit more rustic and grounded. Well, as grounded as you can be with the giant Summons, magic, and Chocobos out there. With the Summons looking to be the main focal point of conflict in Final Fantasy XVI based on this trailer here. Even if it looks like we only have Shiva and Ifrit to look at thus far. Although, some of the others may have popped up in a different style than we have seen before too.
It also looks like this will be another Final Fantasy title that is going with the action style of combat instead of any of the more-classic ones some fans have been hoping for. I do miss the days of a good turn-based system, but that is why we have the old titles to go back to, I guess. It is not clear if it will be more like the new system in the Remake that we have or closer to the Final Fantasy XV style. I am going to guess the former there given how well it seemed to play with audiences thus far. We will just have to wait and see for now.
