Final Fantasy XVI State of Play Announced for Thursday; Over 20 Minutes
Sony has announced that fans can look forward to a new State of Play on April 13, 2023, which will feature more than 20 minutes of the upcoming Square Enix-developed JRPG, Final Fantasy XVI, at 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET.
We’ll be sure to keep you all informed of this State of Play’s precise contents.
Final Fantasy XVI is set to be a more action-heavy entry than its predecessors, with a Devil May Cry V designer even taking the helm. Throughout the title, players will control the protagonist, Clive, as he confronts various Dominants, humans who have been cursed with the power to become Eikons.
Clive is the “First Shield of Rosaria,” sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, who’s the Dominant of Phoenix. However, following tragedy, Clive swears revenge on the Dark Eikon Ifrit.
The producer, Naoki Yoshida, describes this game as akin to his experience with the first Final Fantasy, as “playing the lead in an epic motion picture.” The reasoning for this title’s action-oriented approach and more classical fantasy setting was to “appeal to as wide a range of gamers as possible.” Moreover, “there will be a “comprehensive support system in place for players who aren’t too confident with action games.”
