Final Fantasy XVI

[Theozilla]

The only real fear I've heard (and that too, only because there is no info one way or the other and the trailers only show the main guy) that makes any sense to me is about it possibly being only one playable character. While I share this fear, I have faith in SE having a good cast. Especially given the heavy Matsuno influence.

Hopefully the people who worked on Heavensward and are on FFXVI now recognize/remember the appeal/value of having a traveling party, part of what made Heavensward so great was having the dysfunctional roadtrips with Alphinaud, Estinien, and Ysayle.

Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers very much all had a "party" of core NPCs that travel with the player. So they are very much aware of the roll of having other characters around on a constant basis in the story. Shadowbringers even took this one step futher and let those characters into the dungeons with the player as AI controled characters. And that mechanic is coming back for Endwalker.

So I'm very confident there will be at least other "core NPCs" that the Main Character is with as part of the story. As for the combat... we've barely seen any of it. To the point we have no idea how it even works. So I wouldn't start worrying just yet.

State of Play, I'm excited for but it seems Horizon is getting most of the buzz on that one. Not sure how that is gonna pan out for either FF possibility....

 

[LNK]

State of Play announced for Thursday.

I wanna bet this is where they announce FFXVI is also coming to PS4

Eventually I'll get a ps5, but that would be cool if it comes out on ps4 too!

Square Enix will not be at E3 this year.

...

Wtf, that's basically 70% of my E3 excitement.

I guess GoW and Elden Ring will do it.

Sony will also not go to E3...

 

[Wol]

Sony will also not go to E3...

...

Then it's E1.

 

[FFShinra]

Do not fret. There are other events happening at around the same time that are basically E3 in all but name. There is a bit of a tussle between E3's owners and parts of the industry, particularly on the Sony side of the ledger.

I do believe there will be another SE/Sony event at around that time.

They will make an announcement at E3.

Wait... "It will be pretty cool".

FFXVI is pretty cool, therefore FFXVI news galore confirmed.

Crisis Core remaster/version upgrade?

Could also be maybe be a new World of Final Fantasy entry.

Wonder if they’ll ever do a FFI-FFVI bundle?

Or maybe a FFXIII trilogy collection/remaster?

This.

It needs to be this.

What the fuck is Hiroki Chiba doing now, anyways? Dreaming of new obscure ways to use Shelke? Well too bad.

Nomura and Toriyama are already doing a better Dirge of Cerberus via Remake. So get him off the bench and let this man continue doing something amazing on his own, ffs.

I'd like a 13 trilogy collection. Got rid of my ps3 years ago, and I've been wanting to play 13 again

 

[Tetsujin]

"Just to set expectations: It's something new. Not as high-end as FFXVI or Forespoken but certainly more significant than World of FF or a remaster. Conceptually, I think it might be up many people' alley."

[Makoeyes987]

I'm going to laugh if it's Final Fantasy Type-Next.

 

[Lex]

Could be a new Ivalice game or something, who knows. Wild though, and unexpected if real. When is Square's E3 showcase? I must know 0_0

 

[Tetsujin]

There's no schedule for Square Enix yet (or anyone else outside Ubisoft, I think)

 

[Wol]

New FFT with a glorious Matsuno comeback.



Nah, it will probably be Seventh Heaven Cooking Mania: A (kind of) FFVII Story for Switch.

Trying not to think too hard about it, but this wording makes it sound like it's not a remake. This is basically saying "the concept of the game will be appealing", but there's nothing really to "conceptualize" with a remake. A remake is pretty straightforward.

I'm hoping it's an original, mid-budget game made in the spirit of FFI-VI. Hopefully with turn-based combat and a world map. I feel like that concept would appeal to a lot of people put off by the action direction of FFXVI and FFVIIR.
