The models, effects and environments looked good, but I need to see more actual gameplay. There were some snippets in the trailer, but I need so see prolonged uninterrupted gameplay.

Rating Summary

(Mature +17)​


This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of an enslaved prince (Clive) on a quest to find his missing brother. From a third-person perspective, players explore a fantasy kingdom, complete various quests, and engage in battles against enemy soldiers and fantastical creatures (e.g., trolls, orcs). Players use swords and magical attacks (e.g., fireballs, lighting strikes) to kill characters in melee-style combat. During fighting sequences, players can perform cinematic attacks/finishing moves by following on-screen prompts. Battles are fast paced, accompanied by impact sounds, cries of pain, and large explosions. Blood-splatter effects frequently occur when characters are slashed and killed. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence and blood: a character's hands severed by a sword; a guard's throat slit by a knife; a character impaled through the chest; a prisoner's shoulder stabbed and twisted by an interrogator's blade. The game contains some sexual material: a character caressing and straddling a man in bed; references to prostitution—sexual moaning sounds in a brothel; dialogue such as, “I'd be happy to show you…provided I can afford it” and “…thank you for your service. My chamber is just upstairs." Some characters are depicted with partially exposed breasts and buttocks. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” are heard in the game.

Final Fantasy XVI Producer Denies Existence of a PC Version, Asks Fans To Buy PS5 To Play The Game


The game has been confirmed to be a timed PS5 exclusive with at least six months of exclusivity suggested through the official trailer. During a stream that discussed upcoming content for Final Fantasy XIV, the producer was asked about the rumors of a PC version of Final Fantasy XVI.

“I don’t know, people are talking about a PC version, but no one has said anything about a PC version. Why are they making it sound as if the PC version will be out in six months? Just buy a PS5, (laughs)” said Naoki Yoshida during the Final Fantasy XIV live stream.

He since apologized for saying that.

I’m gonna wait for the Xbox version. But I am interested in this game.
 
I don't know if there will be a Xbox version a la FF7 remake :crazy:
My guess is if and when it were to be released, it’d be all in one bundle or they’d just be released under different subtitles once all three remakes are released. Kinda how metal gear games on Xbox had different/added subtitles to like mgs2 substance. Hey maybe it’ll include extra content which would be added to the PlayStation and pc when released, which could push its release even further back lol

Honestly I think squares development teams are spread too thin and one reason as to why their putting all eggs into one basket for major releases as it’s the safest bet
 
I really liked Yoshi-P's response to FF16 coming to other platforms. His "Buy a PS5" statement is honest and the whole point of an exclusive is to drive demand for a certain platform.

Of course, this further highlights Sony's hypocrisy in their fight to stop MSFT's acquisition of Activision/Blizzard as they continue to secure exclusives while they cry about MSFT's attempts to be able to do the same.

For Sony its, "don't do as I do, do as I say". :laugh:

A group of SIE engineers is helping on Final Fantasy XVI optimization, confirms producer Yoshi-P

 
So apparently they did exclusivity because of the technological and promotional support they get from Sony. Quite an incentive.

 

WP: Each Final Fantasy has characters that make you smile, or laugh. This is notable. We've been teased with some very exciting characters today. I'm wondering if you can tease us with a character that has made you smile or laugh in this dark world?

Koji Fox: My favourite? There are a lot of great characters in the game. Because it's a mature game, I got to let some of them swear which has been fun. In Final Fantasy games, it has always been teen [rated] so we have to be careful for the language.

WP: Is this a first for the swearing?

KF: Of the numbered Final Fantasies, I think so. There was Stranger of Paradise. This [FFXVI] is the first numbered Final Fantasy that is mature. We didn't go too over the top. But it's great to have somebody yell "fuuuuck!" when the situation calls for it.
