Hi there!
I know how long you’ve been waiting for this, so it’s with great pleasure that I announce the release of our latest “Dominance” trailer.
In previous interviews and updates, we haven’t delved into the details of the game system, but hopefully with this preview, you were all able to get a better idea of what the actual gameplay will entail, viz. high-octane battles featuring our protagonist Clive Rosfield wielding a full arsenal of attacks unique to the game’s many Eikons (summons). the action.
The team, under the leadership of Hiroshi Takai, has entered the final stage of development and is focused on polishing as it continues its march towards mastery and launch. For my part, I want to personally thank them for all the hard work they put into the project.
With the power of the PlayStation 5 behind us, we seek to take you on a seamless, story-driven ride that will rival the most thrilling roller coasters. So hang on, the wait is almost over!

Final Fantasy XVI producer
First of all, let me apologize for making everyone wait so long for new information on Final Fantasy XVI… but the good news is that it’s finally here!
In our latest trailer, we showcased several new Eikons, as well as a more detailed look at our action-packed combat system and the freedom it affords players. As far as development progress goes, I’m happy to report that the game is fully playable from start to finish; however, from optimization to refresh, there’s still a mountain of challenges ahead as we head towards our final push.
Until then, please stay tuned. We’ll do our best not to keep you waiting too long for our next update!

Introducing Titan and Garuda Dominants
We here on the Final Fantasy XVI team hope you enjoyed the trailer and we wanted to give our fans a bit more information about the Dominants of Titan and Garuda you just saw.
Permanent Economic Advisor Hugo Kupka meteoric rise to prominence was sudden, if not unexpected. Once an unnamed infantryman in the Republican Army, his awakening as Dominant of the Titan Eikon propelled him to the forefront of Dhalmekian politics. It was here that he used his new position as the most powerful man in the republic to exert influence over both the nation’s armies and the shaping of its policies, amassing a personal fortune in the process. Yet, while they say a man who has everything wants nothing, Benedikta Harman will teach him that money and power are far from all the world has to offer.
After emerging from the storm of cold-hearted and ruthless youth, Benoit Harman– Dominant of the Eikon Garuda, Guardian of the Wind – transformed her talent for swordsmanship and subterfuge into command of the elite intelligences of Waloed. It’s on a mission to find the elusive second Eikon of Fire that she crosses paths with a like-minded Clive and is forced to confront her past.
