If XVI is releasing next year, then I would've expected it to have stated "2021" in the reveal trailer like other games in the conference. I'm thinking we'll see it in the first few months of 2022. SE now has a record of releasing their AAA games in that part of the year. KH3 was January 2019 and FF7R was supposed to be March 2020.

Yeah, I would guess first third/half of 2022 is the likely release window for FFXVI currently. Especially since the 6.0 Expansion for FFXIV is liable to be released in the Fall or winter Holiday season of 2021 (likely would have been earlier if not for Covid-19). Guessing that means FFVIIR Part 2 would be earliest releasing during the 2022 winter holidays, but more likely in 2023?

Presuming Babylon’s Fall eventually gets out of its presumed development issues, I’m guessing it along with Project Athia and Dragon Quest XII and probably another Yoko Taro game will fill out the medium to big-ish Triple AAA sized game releases during that period as well?

Wasn't FF7R announced early because of a leak, though?

Im no expert on the subject at all, but I always believed they announced FFRVII prematurely due to them not putting out much of impact over the previous years, they were just dabbling with mobile games to secure their revenue and please the share holders. Announcing VIIR made sure their stocks still had good value.

Well... food for thought a bit...

The PC release of FFVIIR is going to be coming out in 2021 sometime. I can't see that being considered "small" given the PC install base.

However, the release of NieR: Replicant (Remaster) has a date of April 23 2021. And I can't see that being a small release either given that (a) the west never got Replicant to begin with, (b) there currently is no easy-to-get PC release of the original and (c) NieR: Automana did amazing and people are going to get any game in that franchise. I doubt NieR: Replicant will be releasing near the time of FFVIIR will because of that.

FFXIV 6.0 is probably going to be closer to Fall than Winter, because the update schedule of the patches isn't changing, it just got pushed two months forward.

So like... 2021 already has at least three larger SE games coming out for PC users...

If it's Rated M(18) in most parts of the world, I think it'll be rated MA here in Australia for blood and that sort of thing. I remember Final Fantasy X-2 being rated MA for high use of bad language, but I can't remember if Type 0 was rated MA here despite how
Alexander vaporized an entire army in almost one hit!
Might have to check.

If they're willing to let this be M, I wonder why the remake had to cut back on some things to be a T?

Probably because they really, really needed a win with VIIR -- for the sake of their reputation and making the next installments.

Type-0 was MA (15+), X-2 was M (comparable to a PEGI 12).

I am imagining the radio edit with FF9 kupo sounds instead of bleeps.

Spent my tuition on the DLC
For whoop ass phoenix
Now pledge your sword if you wanna
See some whoop ass phoenix
