PlayStation Final Fantasy 16 News

Update from Yoshi-P translated by Gematsu:

During the special talk session of “Final Fantasy XIV: The 7th 14-Hour Broadcast” between Naoki Yoshida, Yosuke Saito, and Yoko Taro, Final Fantasy XVI producer Yoshida confirmed that the scenario for Final Fantasy XVI is nearly complete, and that voice recording is in its final stages, including English voice-overs.


Additionally, regarding the announcement of new Final Fantasy XVI information, Yoshida said, “I’m not holding back more information just for the sake of it, but rather I want the next information to be something that will ‘convince everyone to buy the game.’ The visual quality is a given but battles, and other unannounced major features will be included, and I want to present it like “Bam!” So nothing new until I’m satisfied.”


Yoshida added, “I was thinking of showing something for Tokyo Game Show, but I don’t think we can meet that deadline, probably. I want to show you guys something, but hope you can understand. You’re going to be able to play it once it’s out anyway.”



Finally, in response to a comment from Saito that “fans will expect to be surprised,” Yoshida said, “No. Not at Tokyo Game Show.”

Indeed. And read more on Yoshi-P's comments from kotaku:

“Personally, I get tired when little tidbits of information are strung out over time,” said the producer. I do, too! For years, that seemed to be the general M.O. at Square Enix, with countless, frustrating, “Please be excited” teasers. It’s refreshing to hear someone at the company who isn’t a fan of such piecemeal PR.


“Of course, for the company, I get showing something for TGS,” said Yoshida, who bluntly added that there will be no surprise FFXVI reveal at the show. Instead, Yoshida wants to put the game in players’ hands after showing more, as opposed to stringing them along—in the past for Square Enix, that could mean dragging things out for years.

“I’m grateful certainly that people are waiting and looking forward to the game,” said Yoshida, “but I believe it’s not good to put out something half-cocked and get people all excited.”

Read an update from Yoshi-P translated by Gematsu:

I’m also not going to Final Fantasy XVI recording sessions. Since I’m not the one writing the story. During story meetings, I do say my opinions like, ‘I think this line should be changed, considering the protagonist Clive’s emotions…’ Although the team has been doing a great job of taking my opinions into consideration.

This time, English recording is going first. And we have been focusing on British English.

Also we have to record facial movements. We can’t possibly hand-animate every cut of a scene. So this time we are doing full facial motion captures and then adding voices to that. Those works are not entirely cutscenes though. So this is one of the reasons why the English version is ahead of others. We are going to start the Japanese version soon.

read small update, translated by twinfinite:

Sakaguchi-san mentioned that he feels Final Fantasy XVI is going to be a full-fledged fantasy, and Yoshida-san confirmed that the main scenario is complete.

Side quests are in development and almost complete. Character models are also almost finished and the team just needs to brush up on the quality a bit.

Yoshida-san continued by mentioning that the initial focus was to produce the main scenario with a small team. While the total production period is quite long, the size of the team didn’t increase much until plans were finalized. There was a lot of trial and error. Yoshida-san believes that it’s important to start with a small team and then to gradually expand.

Sakaguchi-san (perhaps jokingly) offered to write a quest for the game, and Yoshida-san mentioned that he could write for Final Fantasy XIV, but the father of Final Fantasy replied that he wouldn’t want to compete with Yasumi Matsuno (who gave him 1 million gil to get started in XIV) and Yoko Taro.
 
oooo I'm excited for this! I'm getting a Game of Thrones type vibe. Loved the trailer look forward to getting more glimpses of FFXVI!

So the maids were incomplete when shown?
 
Final fantasy have come very far in their game, the FFXVI version is tremendous through various trailer I've watched it from. I don't gave it installed in my PC nor PS4 console but I'll see if I'll make space for it.

Way too out of context for me to pick up on :p

Anyways, I'm concerned at the mention of cancled assets, that is not good for this or other games (like FF7R part 2).
