Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida says that the next trailer for FF16 will drop in October, giving fans another look at the next installment in one of the best fantasy game series. The announcement was made during the Tokyo Games Show, during the Japan Game Awards. We already knew there would be no Final Fantasy 16 at TGS, but the upcoming game won the “Future Division” award at the show.
While on stage to accept an award on behalf of Square Enix, Yoshida is asked when fans can expect to hear about Final Fantasy XVI, with new information previously promised in the fall (found at 47:50 in this video; be on the lookout). Note that it is in Japanese).
Yoshida replies (via Gematsu) that he hasn’t had a chance to talk to the FF16 marketing or PR team lately, so he doesn’t know what to say. However, he states that “We will probably be able to release a trailer next month… And after that, I hope I can give a rough idea of the release date.”
Previously, a trailer shown during Sony’s State of Play livestream in June pegged Final Fantasy 16’s release date at “summer 2023.” Yoshida has since confirmed that players will take control of protagonist Clive and have the ability to try Final Fantasy 16 summons known as Eikons. However, he noted that the other party members would be controlled by the AI ”so players can focus on controlling Clive.”
Recent Final Fantasy 16 story trailers suggest that it may focus on the fight for aether, one of Final Fantasy’s main sources of power, described by Yoshida as magical oil. Meanwhile, Yoshida’s other main game, FFXIV, one of the best MMOs on PC, is preparing his next story, and Yoshida said that the story planning process for FFXIV 7.0 is complete. .
