Did he really say early 2021? I just know about this tweet:

Yoshi-P really is something else.
Especially in this era, a small ambiguous information can spread like fire and start discussions of epic proportions (and click-bait headlines) across forums and websites.
"showing instead of telling" is the way to go.

I anticipate great things from this game. And considering his track record, I don't think those expectations are unwarranted at all.

Yoshi P:
"We don’t want to say something that’s half baked and cause speculation on the title."
Anybody else picture him slowly turning his head towards Nomura and Kitase's offices after he said this?

Have they said anything half-baked and speculative since Versus XIII?
I mean, I think it's apparent they've learned their lesson from that decade of debacle.

It's no exaggeration that Yoshida has always been critical of how Nomura and Kitase have marketed their games (never stated that it's them... but his criticisms really only fit their games, so...). And every single time something has dropped for FFXVI, Yoshdia has essentially tweeted something to the effect of "See! We're not marketing this like other single-player FF games have been marketed".
So yeah, I can see him wanting to at least put as much space between how his Business Division creates and markets their games and how Nomura and Kitase's Business Division creates and markets theirs. Goodness knows the ways the two divisions tell stories is rather different. So setting the expectation that FFXVI isn't going to be like Nomura's and Kitase's FF games early on isn't the worst idea.

Er, only every single sentence they've ever said about the FFVII remake? Only slight exaggeration on my part.

I mean... FFXIV could totally sell itself as a musical. It has more original song lyrics in it than the entire rest of the franchise *combined*.
Granted, it would be a rock opera instead of a proper broadway musical, but details...

Most of the time, speculation leans toward hyperbole and blowings things out of proportion in a negative way but yeah, I can't lie that leads to a fun roller-coaster.
Either way, the less ammo trolls and haters have, the better.

I'm excited for this game. I hope they don't over-hype it to the point where it would inevitably be a disappointment.

Given how dark the political stuff in FFXIV can get (you have people discussing the equivalent of WMD and genocide on a fairly regular basis)... I don't doubt this at all. FFXIV would be M rated if the team didn't get... creative... with a lot of camera angles... and wasn't working with a 10-year old gaming engine. With a current game engine... yeesh... I think of how Yotsuyu would come across on a modern engine and... yeah... the FFXVI guys definetly know how to make a "mature" feeling story without making it go full on grimdark.

Final Fantasy has at least not had that kind of aesthetic for *ages*. You can't even really call FFXII a "medieval" setting (it's more Renaissance). FFX was like... oceana/islands. FFXI is probably the last single-player "medieval" FF game. And that really isn't a "dark" game. And the themes are expressed in fantastical ways.
FFXVI certainly isn't going to have the problem of being "too similar" to any *recent* FF games on a variety of fronts.
