>With Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix was able to fuse a setting that is both a modern and fantasy world in one. When it comes to main-numbered Final Fantasy games, the directors think of everything from scratch with each installment. That said, it doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily see a modern setting for Final Fantasy XVI. Hashimoto says that they haven’t made anything for Final Fantasy XVI yet, but to keep in mind that just because Final Fantasy XV has a certain setting, it doesn’t mean the next one will follow in the same way.
>Hashimoto emphasizes the differences we’ve seen in main-numbered Final Fantasy titles by using VII, VIII, IX as examples on how we saw it go from a very steam punk cyber world in Final Fantasy VII and then back to more of a fantasy world in Final Fantasy IX. He says that this is something that directors might do on purpose to change things up for the series.
>As far as the battle system goes, this is also something that is decided by the director, so it doesn’t necessarily mean Final Fantasy XVI will be more on the action RPG side as we’ve seen in Final Fantasy XV. Hashimoto says when they start work on a new Final Fantasy, they set the bar to make the ultimate fantasy of the generation with each installment. So if a director feels that a certain battle system would work best in the current generation, that’s the main system they’ll go with.
If it's set in Ivalice and has Sakimoto as the composer I'll buy ten copies.

Sqeenix seems to have forgotten they have a god tier artist that should design the games instead of logos that no one gives a fuck about.
Jayden Martinez
It would be great if it's just a game and not something with sequels or movies, anime etc.
Christian Butler
This logo is fanmade.

I want Toriyama and Tabata to do a game with the music done by the people who did X-2's OST.
Jonathan Martin
We'll never get a good FF again, current casuals who play those games now don't like turn based combat or any form of strategy. They want to spam attack buttons and dodges.
Our last bastion of traditional RPGs is Dragon Quest, let's hope the shit that's ruined FF the last decade doesn't infect it.
Luke Barnes
Make it more for otaku and less for normal people.
Ethan Gomez
Let Naughty Dogs make it.

After our success in North America, I believe the next step is to move on to Europe; there are many consumers who hold a strong interest in Japanese culture, such as France. We are striving to serve everyone as best we can.

A sequel to XIV.

Casuals are moving to mobile. Otakus are shrinking due to none of them having kids, but they still play on consoles.
What's so hard to understand about that?
Christopher Ortiz
XVI is going to be a magnum mobile game.
John Hall
Otaku are also moving. There is a lot of otaku mobile game.

David Allen
FF never does the exact same battle system twice, it's apart of the franchise's design philosophy.
Although there's a high chance future battle systems will be more real-time oriented I don't believe they can abandon their turned based roots, even XV still retains those elements on some level. They'll never go full FFVI or III, but I think in the future they'll definitely try incorporating the best of both systems.
hell no, they'd have to resort to procedual generation, or making generic boring environments. A good FF title only needs 13-20 towns, any more and you risk creating boring areas, and you have to write a convoluted story to force the player to move back and forth.
>Dozens of playable characters, all with a rich background.
This is the same problem too, Quantity=/=Quality. As soon as you start exponentially increasing the character count things get out of hand, and once again you'd need to add pointless story arcs to develop each one and try to fit them within the story. This type of stuff is what gets you messes like Chrono Cross, a concept that sounds fun in your head, but doesn't translate well into a player experience.
Levi Hill
There is already an expansion coming out next year.
John Peterson
Make it an augmented reality game where you actually have to travel around the world and I'm sold. >Going to aleppo to rescue an npc >Going to a comfy town in Italy to meet a retired old man for advice on your quest >Going to Moscow to find a spy >Going on cruise ships >Flying to all kind of exotic places Truly that would be the final fantasy

At this point I'd just like to see a game with a competent director who has a clear vision, working with a sensible budget so they don't have to sell a ridiculous amount to not fail.
Nathan Richardson
Name 5 songs besides Zanarkand that were amazing.
Jaxson Jenkins
How would a western final fantasy look like?

Liam Lee
Not him and I don't know the names of all the songs but Tidus' theme and Besaid theme are the tits
Dylan Moore
Just give the series a fucking break already. Don't even have a mainline title in development for a few years god damn. Constant development like this is just killing the series and wasting money.

Make X-2 2
Dominic Wright
Moving away from XV's style of "reality grounded in fantasy", please. It just made everything feel very dull, I want the games to be impressive, and looks into different worlds. Though really, while I'd appreciate fantasy with lots of different races like IX or XII, even world with very different human cultures and locales like VII would work. I just don't want a world that seems so much like earth. As for battle system, I'd be fine with either turn-based or real-time action, as long as the action took notes from Kingdom Hearts style, rather than XV. ...God damn it, I just really dislike what XV did. They could make space opera, western or whatever else, just anything but that again.
Logan Jackson
>actual fantasy they're all fantasies. you want another cartoon FF.
David Sanchez
>A poll >Meaning its not still retarded
You do know you literally just linked the equivalent to a new smash character poll right? Or that this particular poll is skewed because of interviews they said about how beastmen are hard to make and most likely wont be added prior to this poll
Jaxon Martin
It would be spelled X-2-II.
Xavier Ramirez
You mean like western produced, or spaghetti western styled?
Gavin Parker
>What you want for XVI? to be good

It baffles me how anyone thinks Besaid sounds the slightest like Uematsu's work.
Those people need to be put in camps.

Jeremiah Clark
JRPG on console is dying. Mobile is taken over.
Andrew Barnes
>>Hundreds of towns Come on. I don't think any games have had more than 20 towns, I'd much rather take sensible amount of towns that feel actually different, than shitloads haphazardly designed ones to bloat up the number. Though if they'll go for open-world style again, it'd be cool if they had small settlements with just three or four houses, and maybe a farm or something.
Tyler Peterson

Brayden Scott
Last Story had amazing soundtrack Granblue Fantasy and Terra Battle as well
I don't think a Final Fantasy needs to have a dozen unique sentient species to be unique. The older games did just fine with primarily humans and a throwaway tribe of elves or dwarves or moogles or whatever.
What's important to me is an exotic set of locations, not just "the gas station off the side of the road," unless the road runs through a crystalline field or across a wide ravine or swamp, for example. And a traditional city is totally cool, or a castle, or a juxtaposition of both, or something completely "out there" like a major technologically advanced city completely isolated from the rest of the comparatively primitive world.
Colton Williams
If you wanna play something similar I suggest Xenogears, or Xenosaga.
The former is an old psx jrpg and was made by Square soft as a prototype of FFVII, the later was created by the same team after they left squaresoft.
Brayden Cook
this I just want to jack off to furries

Brayden Robinson
I literally don't care. Just put more cute girls fighting monsters and dressing into more cute outfits.
Joshua Wood
It sounded like the original vapor designs pitched 10 years ago were a lot better.
>see this faggot, Noctis? He's the yakuza boss' son; he's basically LIKE royalty in Neo-Tokyo but he's not an ACTUAL prince because that would be a really generic lame background am i right?
And then they made Noctis the legitimate prince of a kingdom where all men wear black leather. Basically trying to keep the original realistic yakuza background but making it really gay, and lame.
Jordan Long
Sounds like shit.
Lucas Ward
So FF6-9 also sound like shit then? Cause it's in the exact same style.
Aiden Martinez
>and the shrinking of the ‘otaku’ culture
What happens?
Gabriel Perez
I would love a quicker turnaround on full sequels(NO X-2 or Lightning Trilogy bullshit) by having different teams see what they can do with the FF XV engine. Since they're Japanese developers, you know they won't go the Ubisoft route and will actually have the different teams make completely different games
PS1 Era FF 7: Came out in 97 FF 8: Came out in 99 FF 9: Came out in 2000
SNES Era FF 4: Came out in 91 FF 5: Came out in 92 FF 6: Came out in 94
Joshua Cox
I feel like this is a situation where they didn't translate otaku and it fucks up the meaning because it has a more specific usage in English. Like, that Sugita kind of supernerd that plays everything from fighting games to dating sims is rare among younger people now but I don't think the market for anime aesthetics is shrinking, it's just become more casual.
Parker Bell
