For many JRPG fans waiting for Final Fantasy 16, there’s now some update from its producer Naoki “Final Fantasy XIV saviour” Yoshida.

According to a mini interview on Uniqlo’s Final Fantasy 35th anniversary collaboration event, Naoki Yoshida said that the game is now in its final stages of development (via Twitter).

“Now we’re at the finale of the new game FF16’s development. We aim for FF16 to have a better unison in story and gaming experience as a single-player game.

Unlike an online [game] that depicts multiple players simultaneously, FF16 focuses on an individual so the state of immersion into the story will be different. I feel like the story will be very deep.

“I hope this will bring back the past enthusiasm to people who grew up to adults, got to know society, [thought] “Real life is not easy like in the game,” and went away from FF. I’m creating it while having that thought.”

While that doesn’t really say much, it does hint that we’ll be seeing more news unfolding for the game, possibly during the June period where every major company is showcasing their games for next year and beyond. In the meantime, we have our own theories on Final Fantasy 16 on this video below.
