It's designed by the Nu-Final Fantasy XIV team, Yoshida is the director.

What if FF16 is going to be revealed with the Xbox gameplay showcase?
Daniel Morales
And all interest died immediately.

NO! THEY SHOULD BE FOCUSING ALL THEIR WORK ON FF7R

We all know Square-Enix wouldn't pass up releasing a fucking CGI movie.

FF7 is focusing on FF7R, Yoshida aka the FFXIV team is making FF16
Connor Green
Why do I do it to myself
Why do I get excited when they're always shit
Noah Price
>The character designer is Akihiko Yoshida
NICE!
Wyatt Martin
If you go by Dissidia, then FF14 also had a FeMC, since Y'shtola Rhul is used as the mascot for everything.
Josiah Moore
Is FF14 done now? No more expansions?
Carson Hernandez
>FF7 is focusing on FF7R
wut?
>Yoshida aka the FFXIV team is making FF16
If it's Yoshida he would be making a fucking youtube video. Get out my guy.
Yoshida has been doing these massive fucking patch notes shit and videos and you think I'm gonna buy this "muh 1 official art release" bullshit from SQUARE-FUCKING-ENIX.
Nah man you can't fool me. This ain't April. Gotta bring more to the table.
We all know Yoshida at least would release something like image related.

So, we get a dragon as a companion?
Blake Foster
Back around the end of the HW patch cycle (early-mid 2017), three key FFXIV staff members resigned (or at least aren't as prominent in their roles within the staff anymore). Battle designer Gondai, Director Takai (of other notable SE projects, not FFXIV, though he contributed), and Scenario writer Maehiro (who also worked on all of Matsuno's Ivalice games). S
During the fall of 2017, there was an interview with Yoshi-P where he outright said that he'd work on FF16 if SE or fans asked him to. He also mentions that it'd be a high fantasy title. I honestly believe he would not say such a thing if he wasn't ALREADY involved in another FF project at that time. gamerevolution.com
On April 1st 2018, exactly one year ago, Yoshi-P was suddenly promoted to board of directors within Square-Enix. dualshockers.com
Very recently, at the Paris fanfest, Yoshi-P again reiterates that if he were to work on another FF project, it'd have a high fantasy setting. He also says (in regards to the exact question asked) that it most likely won't be another MMO, since FFXIV is still doing well. siliconera.com
And now, we have this confirmation that Yoshi-P has indeed been working on a new project, and that it is leaving pre-production and going into full production (which means it has likely been in development for about a year or longer now). Note that the recruitment page on SE's website for the new project had already existed since at least 2016.
Anthony Turner
no but I think Yoshida is no longer the director (or producer, forgot which one) for future FF14 content
Blake Torres
> Started development in 2017
> Already 3 years into development
How long until we get actual footage of this Zig Forums?
Michael Morales
FF14 Expansions were the best FF has had since FF9
Ian Lewis
>How long until we get actual footage of this Zig Forums?
by FFXV standards and FF7R standards that's 3 more years minimum and 10 years before they announce a release date.
Noah Jenkins
So nothing at the moment?
Sounds about right. We got another 15 years before FFXVI is released then.
Robert Diaz
FUCK!
Aiden Howard
FINAL FANTASY IS SAVED
FUCK NOMURA
Jack Hill
>FUCK!
So how old will Final Fantasy be at by then? Minimum 40s? Average 60s? Man some fans will be in their death beds.
RIP.
