It is time to take stock of the year 2020, but also look to the future. Like every year, Famitsu magazine has collected the testimonies of some of the most important developers in the Japanese video game industry. One of them is Naoki Yoshida, director of Final Fantasy XIV and producer of Final Fantasy XVI. The creative has made it clear that 2021 will be a year of a lot of movement, especially in what refers to the games in which it participates. Yoshida has again emphasized that there will be important announcements regarding these titles in the coming months.
His keyword for 2021 is “open mind”, while his ambitions are to satisfy the fans of the saga. “2021 will be the busiest year of my career. I would like it to be a year in which I can offer surprises and emotions to the players, but also pay attention to my health ”. And he adds the following: “Please, wait for the different announcements that we will offer on both Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XVI.
A completely new title
After officially announcing the development of Final Fantasy XVI exclusively for PlayStation 5, Square Enix has provided some background information on the main characters, the world and their game mechanics. Since they updated the official website, they have already anticipated that there will be no more news until 2021. A few days before the year 2020 ends, it remains to be seen when exactly we will have news.
Final Fantasy XIV, one of Square Enix’s oldest video games, will continue to receive content on a regular basis. This online game has already been expanded through different expansions, which have managed to win over fans of the saga. Although Naoki Yoshida himself confirmed that he had a fluid relationship with Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, at the moment there is no news about a possible adaptation to the Microsoft ecosystem.
