According to Yoshida, the team did not want to limit themselves to the video with the Final Fantasy XVI logo, so they decided to show the real game graphics. At this stage of development, making the video proved to be “somewhat grueling” for the team.

“If it was a pre-rendered trailer, [viewers] would say ‘great, see you in 2035!’ or something similar. I’ve seen similar comments [from players] in America, ” Yoshida shared.

In addition, during the broadcast, the producer announced that a teaser site for Final Fantasy XVI will be launching towards the end of October. The portal will be designed to reveal information about the world of the project and its characters.

Recall that last week Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, citing his own sources, said that the development of Final Fantasy XVI has been going on “for at least four years. “

Final Fantasy XVI has no release date yet, but according to Schreier, the game will be released “sooner than people expect. ” The next big piece of information about the project is expected in 2021.

At this stage, Final Fantasy XVI is officially confirmed exclusively for the PlayStation 5, however, in the announcement trailer, mentions of versions for PC and other consoles could be noticed.
