Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida hopes the forthcoming game will “bring back anew the passion” players had in the series.
His comment is taken from the Final Fantasy 35th anniversary Uniqlo magazine, which accompanies a new line of t-shirts celebrating the series.
Final Fantasy fan and translator Aitai Kimochi shared a translation of Naoki’s comments on Twitter, as he noted the game is now in the final stages of development.
“We’re in the final stages of development for the new numbered game in the series, Final Fantasy 16,” said Yoshida.
“We aim to deliver a comprehensive game full of story and gameplay. Unlike an online game that involves many players at the same time, FF16 offers a different experience where it focuses on the individual player and immerses you in the story. I think it’s a very fleshed out story.
