we only have about a year final fantasy 16 Released – but now the entire game is actually playable from back to front.
In an interview with PlayStation Blog, Square Enix veteran and Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida reiterated that a lot of work has been done on the game – it just needs some tweaks, fixes, and tweaks before it can be released to the world.
“Right now, the game is playable from start to finish, but we still have a lot of voiceovers to record in multiple languages,” he told the blog. “Final Fantasy XVI is a very action-oriented game, so we’re also doing a lot of playtesting to fine-tune difficulty levels, as well as putting the finishing touches on cutscenes, and going through a full debugging process. A year for game development It’s a very short period of time, so we’re all doing everything we can to get it over that line.”
So let’s hope the game will stick to its nice and vague “Summer 2023” release date, and we won’t see any delay between now and when the game is finally in our outstretched, greedy hands.
It’s also not the first time we’ve heard the game is ready to take off. Back in April, Yoshida noted that Final Fantasy XVI was “in the final stages of development.”
In the same interview, Yoshida also noted, “For those of you who grow up realizing that reality isn’t kind to you and stay away from Final Fantasy, we hope that Final Fantasy 16 will be a game that brings back the passion you once had for the series. .” Saying a nice thing in a weird way.
In a string of interviews released today, we also learned that Final Fantasy XVI was “inspired by recent AAA open-world RPGs,” but wasn’t actually an open-world game.
We look forward to seeing this brave new entry in the series when it launches next year. So far, it’s only been announced as a PS5 game – although there are rumors that the game will be coming to PC (and possibly other platforms) at a later date.
