In July 2021, producer Yoshida said that English voice acting had already begun ahead of Japanese. Final Fantasy 16 prioritized English voice recording Suzuki was designer of Devil May Cry 5 and Dragon's Dogma, which is a solid pedigree. After Yoshida's Creative Business Unit III studio famously turned around FF14, making it the huge success it is today, it'll be interesting to see how the pair tackle a traditional Final Fantasy presumably detached from multiplayer.Īdditionally, Square Enix recently hired Ryota Suzuki as a "battle director" and he is rumored to be working on FF16. Yoshida and Takai are working on FF16Īnother exciting bit of this announcement is the names attached to it: Final Fantasy 14 producer Naoki Yoshida and series developer Hiroshi Takai. "Ever kind, gracious, and unassuming, Jill has become a trusted confidant to the brothers," Square Enix say. She's been raised alongside the Rosfield boys, so it seems she's like a sister to them. Jill was born in the northern territories and was made a ward in Rosaria at a young age to secure peace between the two. Depending on the nation they're from, Dominants might be revered as royalty for their power or controlled because of it. Then there are Eikons and Dominants-the former are the most powerful creatures in the world and the latter are the human vessels able to call upon their power. Yet now the peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions." Great powers have grown up around each Mothercrystal, and an uneasy peace has long reigned between them. "For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty. The world of Valisthea has giant glittering mountains called Mothercrystals, Square Enix say. New information on FF16's website helps to provide some context to all those proper nouns from the reveal trailer. Final Fantasy 16's story will involve a fight against the Blight That's a stark difference from FF15 (and other games in the series), which melded magic and monsters with modern trappings like electronics and cars. With little to go on story-wise, the big highlight here is the setting, which appears to be more medieval this time around. We also hear familiar names from the series like Shiva, Phoenix, and Ifrit.
The game seems to star the personal bodyguard of a prince named Joshua. The trailer feels very similar to the dramatic CG trailers that Naoki Yoshida's team would make for FF14 expansions, which did an amazing job of selling the action and kicking off its stories. Our first look at FF16 focuses on the broader tones and themes of the game, which are definitely trending darker than any modern game in the series.
