FF16 producer Yoshida featured in Uniqlo's magazine this month with the release of the FF 35th anniversary T-shirts. Here's what he said near the end of the interview about 16:

Right now the development of FF16 is in its final stage. As a single player game, we are aiming to integrate story and gameplay even further. Different to a game where many people play online at the same time, the extent to which the game has an individual focus changes how immersed you are in the story. I think it's become a story with quite a lot of depth. To people who have grown up, entered working society and think "reality isn't as easy-going as a video game", and at some point ended up separating from Final Fantasy, we want to want them to remember their passion from back then. We're making the game with that intention.

ngl I came into the thread expecting to read mid.

But those last few sentences hit

"from the nier reincarnation stream" why the hell we getting news from a nier mobile game stream

Must be during Sony's next stream

That or maybe during Sony's next State of Play... Or SGF 2022 (June 9th 2022)? Anyway... I hope we'll get that trailer before September 2022

Think he was there to talk about the xiv collab then Saito randomly started talking about 16

Yoshi P too busy playing PvP in ffxiv and buffing his own job

Dawg I thought we’d have a full gameplay reveal and release date this time LAST year.

Scared to be excited…

This game is a myth

Final Fantasy: Naruto

REJOICE

Straight lame. Summer 2023???? The developmers have been talking about how close the game was to being done. Thought this was for sure coming this year..lame this was my 2nd most anticipated game. Well hopefully its ps5 only at least

Can’t get over the f***ing choir singing the summons names. F***ing hell

Finally some new s***

This focus on summons seems pretty cool and the game definetely looks better than from when they last showed it, only complaint is that the HUD seems a bit out of place

My god I hate the numbers flashing like they do when he was fighting.
