Final Fantasy 16 Preview

FF16情報

If Final Fantasy is an action franchise now, at least it’s shaping up to be a damn good one.
#FinalFantasy16 #FinalFantasy #gamespot

For more than a decade, Final Fantasy has been gradually shedding parts of its turn-based RPG roots and embracing a more action-oriented direction. It was only a matter of time before that focus on action took precedence over the role-playing elements, and it appears that Final Fantasy XVI is finally the moment the ratio has flipped.

    Lol at the people crying that final fantasy isn’t what it use to be like it was in 1999-2000. Times change, and the game looks amazing. I know the gameplay is gonna smack, I just hope the story and characters are gonna be good

    Completed every ff game from 6 and up. I come to FF for turn based fantasy game and the story.

    The story looks meh… and the combat awesome, but its not what i want from an FF game 😢

    Bargsin bin for me.

    I hope with the control of only 1 character we will get to choose what weapon he uses. I want always prefer to use big heavy hitting weapons and would love to see the insane wombos a 2h sword could do

    FF is known because of its unique turn base action gameplay, removing this is like killing their own identity.

    This preview made me go from being completely disinterested in this game to adding it to my wish list on Steam. Not going to preorder it at this stage, but definitely much more interested in trying it when it comes out if the reviews are good!

    Having allies/party and a big world to explore where always devices for creating a sense of journey in past FF games. I really hope that this sense is still present even with those aspects dished in this entry.

    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    combat seems like its heavily inspired/borrows from the dissidia series(fighting game-esque)

    or prolly just an effect of the fixed cam angle(s)

    • @BrianMarrino236

    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    I mourn for the days of turn based Final Fantasy. Sure, FF VII Remake’s gameplay was amazing and there are still traditional JRPGs, but it is very sad to me, that only Dragon Quest is still true to its roots.

    • @MrJballn

    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    I don’t see the beautiful and fantastic worlds seen in 9 or 10 in this game. Looks yo me like DMC with a little rpg elements. Not a final fantasy game at all.

    • @LordMarMer
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    This has been co developed with Sony developers. This game must really tap ps5 power

    • @videokingrsyd
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    For me this action playing is too automatic. I more like BOTW, elden ring feel freedom and natural movement. The game play remind me FF 13 lightning return.

    • @Ostsol
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    Hot take: Final Fantasy has never been a role-playing game.

    Well, won’t get this then…. 🙁

    • @Nezarn
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    So Final Fantasy officially died after 13 (was already half dead at this point), this ain’t final fantasy anymore…

    • @SamGoeltz
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    I’m a little worried I haven’t seen any LGBT representation in the trailer. This may be another terf game we will have to cancel.

    • @SamGoeltz
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    I will have to do research on some of the devs before giving any opinion on it. The development team need to learn we are not playing around when it comes to this anymore. They don’t want to fail like we made Hogwarts Legacy fail, then they better cater to our community.

    I’m all for this version of final fantasy!! I’m not a huge fan of FF but I’ll play this one, for the battle system which is more action oriented.

    • @MDaSnipa
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    I’ll give it a shot but clearly FF franchise have changed its direction too much and, for me, lost its soul. It looks like SE’s trying everything to be different instead of focusing on doing what they already did good. From what I’ve seen in this review, this game doesn’t feel like a FF. It’s probably going to be a good game, but just that, a good game. I’ve lost hope to see a new FF game been a masterpiece again.

    Still not sure about this. It looks great, but not sure I’m loving this direction. I’m getting tired of them solely going away with party members. That was my favorite aspect of JRPGs. But I guess I’ll have to wait and play and see!

    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    • @saintsr0w1

    I feel like the particle effects need to be toned down. They kind of obscure the action which will probably make it harder to anticipate enemy attacks

    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    Game looks awesome, I just hope it isn’t just night stages because the washed out colors and the dark lighting really distracts you from the gorgeous graphics and great art direction. Combat looks amazing even though it isn’t turn based. Stages look a bit generic but I hope we get more than just plain old european castles. High hopes for FF16!

    • @MukiMuki688
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    The real time combat would have to start off as hard as Elden Ring or DMC5 or else your character would be overpowered by the mid game.

    • @maxwallach47
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    There has really only been one open world final fantasy. FFXV was that game and it was unfortunately kinda a mess (although I did like it) the early games (I-IX) had world maps but the areas always had a straight forward linear design. The game I hope this resembles is Final Fantasy XII. XII had open interconnected areas that came together seamlessly to create a huge world. The giant city hubs really helped carry it. To this day while there have been better final fantasy games, XII did the scope of what a fully polygonal world should be in a FF.

    • @andretheseal9837

    Thanks for the footage and opinions, much brighter than other. I’m still not sure how to feel about this at all.. Would I rather have FF become GOW? Which I love, or DMC? No. Could have given me an item menu at least.. And the dark vibe so far.. Pretty though..I’ll be buying, so I hope they show something to make me excited, maybe something other than this combat. I want to love it.

    The PS5 IS more easier to develop for reasons why ? Mark Cerny ROAD TO PS5 is the answer

    Custom I/0 unit Kraken decompression Ultra Fast SSD Tempest Engine

    Remember Mark stated he was aiming for lessing development time with Kraken decompression
    For LOADING and STREAMING at high speeds in combination with the Ultra Fast SSD

    He removed bottlenecks that devs in previous generations had to use techniques to design over limitations when speaking about JaK 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man for example which is what the Custom I/0 unit is used for

    Remember he design the Tempest Engine to free up the GPu bandwidth so devs can access more processing power out of the system

    Remember the Tempest Engine has the same processing power of the PS4 which he also stated that can be allocated towards games if devs need more bandwidth

    Play without Limits

    Social commentary is the act of using rhetorical means to provide commentary on social, cultural, political, or economic issues in a society. This is often done with the idea of implementing or promoting change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people’s sense of justice. Social commentary can be practiced through all forms of communication, from printed form, to conversations to computerized communication.

    Linear is better, tbh. The PSX entries are fairly linear. There’s too much fuss over open world when it’s rarely done well. I just want towns please. And hopefully it’s not *quite* as melodramatic as all this preview content is making it seem. People forget how goofy FF6, 7, 9, and 12 can be and those are the best stories and games in the series.

    I also want to point out that I love Yoshi-P efforts to have people be overwhelmingly excited for 16 and that excitement carry on to an eventual 17. That is why he want to evolve the series and the JRPG genre, so both are not beholden by a fix preconceived notions or elements (such as the turn based combat).

    A little bit of context to explain my comment:

    The original Final Fantasy was basically an adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons, using almost the exact same combat as D&D, which became a staple of FF. Having a party with an ensemble cast with different classes, abilities and backstories is not something unlike the parties of D&D either.

    So after experimenting with many titles and making risk with every and each one of them, Yoshi-P and his team are making an RPG like nothing before has happen in the history of the franchise. I think Yoshi-P has the right idea if he’s the one to bring FF to the mainstream again like it was in 80’s through the early 00’s.

    Because at the end of the day Final Fantasy has and it always have been, an IP that reinvents itself each game.

    • @GForceIntel

    I think somebody at SquareEnix forgot to turn on the lights in the game. I could see more during the one on one segment of Count Dooku vs Anakin light saber dance in the dark duel than during this gameplay. 🧐

    Are the Skittle effects supposed to be that impressive Next Gen POWER we have been missing? Cuz if so, they can stay lost right alongside Godfall.

    • @hkoizumi3134
    • 2025年 10月 02日 11:26am

    The only thing I worry is the difficulty. It looks like they got rid of bit by having accessibility option in a form of wearable item. Which I think it’s genius because it compensates for less things for you to equip. Which doesn’t allow you to be overpowered in terms of stats. I’ve noticed there are many FF14 mechanics during the B roll of the FF16 fight. As a veteran of FF14, i can’t imagine having some of our extreme or savage mode difficulties in FF16. It would definitely alienate casual FF fans. But for us FF14 veterans, I wonder if they will provide that challenge we yearn. At the very lease, I hope they’ll have New Game plus or Sanctum battles where you fight various challenges

    this combat system are actually not far from the predessor start from when final fantasy create disidia all of the game start to change genre into more action like, the last traditional RPG is the final fantasy X, after that all final fantasy game had a short kind of movement, meaning space are adds to the game variable mechanic
    dissidia was a fun game more camera angle with more action pack cinematic no wonder they leave the old rpg style, not hoping all game change their style but, at least they try ( if only it good it should be harness more)

    No open world ✅ (thank god)
    A combat system that looks well designed ✅
    Big skill trees✅
    Focus on less characters ✅(I feel like some of the old FF games had too many characters and the games didn’t do certain characters justice and left them underdeveloped so a smaller cast is a good thing)
    Great music ✅
    Moogles ✅
    Cid ✅
    Chocobos ✅
    Setting that feels like oldschool FF✅
    No books, anime or movie which means we will see the entire story this time in the game ✅

    I don’t see any red flags so far.

    Those icon fights seem like the Giga Bowser fights in Bowser’s Fury. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.

    The brilliance of Final Fantasy II (4) is gone forever. Now it’s half anime and half Marvel. You know what game is actually more like FF2 nowadays? Kingdom Come Deliverance. Go back to medieval fantasy and lose the anime bs.

    My take: Frst of all, thank you Gamespot for this coverage. The best coverage I seen for this game yet. Second, the graphics are amazingly beautiful. That close up of Benedictika was breathtaking. Square Enix always nailed it on this front but here, the extra mile is extended beyond their scope as a studio. The combat system has me on the fence. It looks great but it’s not Final Fantasy anymore. I knew this would be the direction Square Enix were ultimately going to bank their franchise. They did it with Final Fantasy Origins. It was bound to happen here. This is Final Fantasy for the foreseeable future and we have to accept it. Go with Persona or Dragon Quest if we want turn based. The story sounds amazingly written from what he said in the preview. But my ultimate gripe I have with the game and might be a dealbreaker is it isn’t open world. Linearity never works for Final Fantasy. I can’t explore this beautiful world and take on quests? It’s kind of a dealbreaker for me. That is the beauty of an RPG. Exploring. In all, Final Fantasy XVI looks very promising. Are you guys going to shell for a regular copy or a Special Edition?

    The combat sounds so amazing and I love the setting. Reminds of classic Final Fantasy before they started making too many futuristic sci-fi games.

    A recent interview said it will be more than 6 months after FFXVI’s release before a PC version is available. So if you want to play this one, start looking for a PS5 soon. (they’re easier to get now, especially in bundles)
