final fantasy 16 Producer Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has stated that the PC version of the game will not be released for six months after the PS5 release.
Speaking at PlayStation Blog Japan, Yoshida has made it clear that there won’t be a PC release anytime soon, as the team has already spent a lot of time and money optimizing the PS5 version. However, that doesn’t mean a PC version is out of the question.
“First of all, “Final Fantasy 16″ is indeed a limited-time exclusive on the PS5 platform for six months,” Yoshida said. “However, it’s a completely different matter to release the PC version after half a year. I will make it clear, but the PC version will not come out within half a year.”
“This is because we spent a lot of time and money optimizing the PS5 platform to provide the best gaming experience. Of course, I want to release the PC version at some point so that everyone can play as many games as possible.”
“However, even if we start optimizing the PC version after the PS5 version comes out, we won’t be able to optimize it within half a year, so it won’t come out in a short period of time. I would like to release it eventually, I think I will, but I haven’t yet to the stage where we can say when.”
“I’ll make it clear, but the PC version won’t be out in half a year.”
Yoshida went on to say, “I will be happy if you can play the PS5 version, which I made with the idea of being the best game in the world. If the PC version is released within half a year, I can quit the company (laughs). Please don’t say, ‘I’m not going to buy the PS5 version because the PC version is coming out in six months.’”
Final Fantasy 16 was announced in September 2020 as a PlayStation console exclusive, but has also been revealed to be coming to PC. Following the reveal, Square Enix seems to be saying that the title will only come to PlayStation 5.
Although the public trailer for the game shows an asterisk next to the words “PlayStation console exclusive” with the note “Also available on PC”.
iGamesNews recently got a hands-on with Final Fantasy XVI, and according to Dom, the demo proved that the series could be “cutting edge” in 2023 with its “gorgeous visuals, seamless transitions, and masterclasses in motion capture and performance.” “.
