For those who have grown up and realized that reality isn&#8217;t kind to you and have drifted away from Final Fantasy, we hope that <em>FF16<\/em> will be a game that can bring back anew the passion that you once had with the series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p >Publisher Square Enix hasn&#8217;t communicated any kind of release date for <em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em>, but Yoshida himself has promised to show new information about the game sometime this spring. Yoshida has also said that <em>FF16<\/em>&#8216;s development was slowed by the pandemic, impacting the game&#8217;s development by as much as six months. <\/p>\n<p ><em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em> was announced in September 2020 as a PlayStation 5 game. An official version for PC has been also announced. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/tRnSkbjSGNg1L3CWOH8lFi6cdYQ=\/0x0:3840&#215;2010\/fit-in\/1200&#215;630\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23425427\/FFXVI_MediaKit_08__1_.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23048332\/final-fantasy-16-development-update-yoshida-naoki-ff16<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy 16 producer offers update on game development, design goals Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida says the next mainline game in the Final Fantasy series is in the &#8220;final stages&#8221; of development, according to translated comments Yoshida made to Uniqlo&#8217;s UT magazine.
