![]() Final Fantasy XVI will be the first main entry in the long-running franchise to sport a Mature-rating and will forgo the series' traditional turn-based combat for more character action-like battles. The team didn't want to assign "distinctive ethnicities" to either the antagonist or the protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI to avoid "inviting unwarranted speculation, and ultimately stoking flames of controversy." Yoshida said the team wants "the focus to be less on the outward appearance of our characters and more on who they are as people-people who are complex and diverse in their natures, backgrounds, beliefs, personalities, and motivations."įinal Fantasy XVI is set to release in the summer of 2023 for PlayStation 5, with the game's latest trailer highlighting various kingdoms at war and massive Eikon battles. "The story we are telling is fantasy, yes, but also rooted in reality," Yoshida said. "Our design concept from the earliest stages of development has always heavily featured medieval Europe, incorporating historical, cultural, political, and anthropological standards that were prevalent at the time," Yoshida said.Īs such, Yoshida said an "over-incorporation into this single corner of a much larger world could end up causing a violation of those narrative boundaries we originally set for ourselves. According to Yoshida, there is diversity in the game's world of Valisthea, but that it is "not all-encompassing," and is "synergistic with the setting we've created and is true to the inspirations from which we are drawing." Much of Yoshida's answer as to the game's lack of diversity is attributed to the team's desire to be "true" to the medieval Europe inspiration behind Final Fantasy XVI's world. Noting that his answer "may end up being disappointing to some," Yoshida explained the reasoning behind the game's lack of diversity. ![]() Now Playing: FINAL FANTASY XVI “AMBITION” FINAL FANTASY XVI introduces gamers to an all-new standalone story in the FINAL FANTASY universe, an epic dark fantasy world that takes place in the realm of Valistheaa land blessed in the light of the Mothercrystals, and where peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions.

Please don't say, 'I won't buy the PS5 version because the PC version will be released in half a year'." If the PC version comes out in half a year, I can quit the company (laughs). He concluded: "First of all, I would be happy if you could play the PS5 version, which I made with the thought of being the best game in the world. I would like to release it eventually, and I think I will, but I am not at the stage where I can say when." However, even if we start optimising the PC version after the PS5 version comes out, we won't be able to optimise it in half a year, so it won't come out in a short span of half a year. ![]() Of course, I would like to release a PC version at some point so that everyone can play as many games as possible. "This is because we spent a lot of time and money optimising the PS5 platform to deliver the best gaming experience. I will make it clear, but the PC version will not come out in half a year.
