I want more Cid content a backstory DLC would be very cool.

i rly hope they expand on it
unlike 15 it technically doesnt need dlc
but the dlc we get is gonna improve pacing a little just by giving you shit to do before the end that feels as if it should be there for SOME fluff and character development

so
i rly wish we get 3 dlcs more
at least 1 more BIG boy dlc
and id be cool with 2 dlcs that are a bit longer then echoes
PERHAPS if they actually do end up making jill and cid playable give us dlcs that let us explore these dlcs with them so we can swap around

Nah, no more content. Just start work on ff17. This is just my opinion. However, i feel like they squandered this game with really poor pacing of the romance between Jill and Clive. If they made more of a deal of it throughout the game and didn’t just try and jam it all in the end part of the game, the ending would have been soooooo much more powerful. The game is great but ultimately a bit of a hollow experience due to what i just mentioned. All the best Final Fantasy titles have an epic romance at their core. It’s kind of their brand. I just wish Square would recognise this and act accordingly.

As long as it’s the same development team I don’t mind whether it’s XVI-2 or XVII.

If we get a new game i just want to improve on the combat ff16 it has its fault but i still think is a great base to work on

When he says not zero he does pretty much mean Zero because he gave you the reasons above they wanna move on to other projects.

Yes, I would like to see more of Final Fantasy XVI, as well as Yoshida with Creative Business Unit III bring us Final Fantasy XVII.

I desperately want more ff16 😭 such a great game 🔥

I see this as a versusxiii successor ❤❤

Man, the PC version will probably be incredible. I’m very excited about it!

I feel like they probably wouldn’t spend resources to make other people playable because Jill, Joshua etc. don’t fight like Clive. Unless they could use the exisiting AI battle system for the characters and somehow change it for players

I’ll definitely get rising tide for the story, but I really hope 16 is the end of this gameplay style.

Please i want so so so so much more 16

If the did chapters like 15, have a cid backstory from his early exploits and building his rebellion.

The Joshua and what he did after his supposed death

I want to see Vagrant Story 2 & Bouncer 2, and any game that focuses on 1 character, all jobs system!

I really don’t understand why people criticise ff16 for the lack of rpg elements, when the the game was announced and marketed as an action game.

I’d rather CBU1 make 17, as Rebirth feels like a true adaptation of OG FF games. CBU3 should just stick to MMOs

I want to like FF16 but to me it just came across as “not bad”.

10 hours ?? come on
For real?! wow

I liked 16 but I think that 7 rebirth is a better path to follow for 17 and onwards.

Don’t think they should touch FF16 now, sequel would make no sense at all. The Leviathan DLC should finish it off nicely. The ending was perfect, the game was incredible and the OST was the best I’ve ever heard. I hope they take the best things from it and use it for the next game. I’ve finished Rebirth twice and nothing compares to the Bahamut fight from 16

Thanks for keeping the flow of news going. Just because *certain channels* are out to drag the *whole industry* down with tales of woe from the *part of it they are fanatical about,* doesn’t mean we can’t have *good news* about successful companies like Square Enix and their JRPG franchises.

FF17 will be like FF7 Rebirth in terms of combat and the ability to switch party members in the same style.
I do not see them neglecting that.
I think FF16 was supposed to be Clives story/perspective and the way the game/mechanics story unfolded made it hard to do more party members being controlled for the story.
FF15, you were able to play the other party members as well, not just Noctis.

Give me a CBU3 FFXVII. But give me 4 playable characters with weapon skills, magic, and an atb bar like Remake. A world map thats just an open world and dungeon/cities that are corridors.

I feel like FFXVI is just begging for a card game!

Yoshi P directing FF17? If the direction they are going is like FF16, no please. Let the FF7 Rebirth team make FF17. With FF7 Rebirth, FF is now going back to their roots mixed with modern rpg. That should be the direction they should be going, not FF16.

I want to play as Dion 😢

I would love more FFXVI content after this first bout of expansions, honestly.
also, bear with me…

Final Fantasy XVII: Tactics II

Let’s hope final fantasy 17 bring back playable characters

Calling it right now. Rising tide takes place after the end of the Game and Leviathan saves Clive.

As someone who’s been playing mainline FF games since the 4th, I am quite sad to see the franchise fall so low what with only 3 million in sales. Even Rebirth isn’t doing well as evident by the silence from Square Enix. I do hope they’re able to figure out what went wrong and make the necessary changes for FF17.

I hope they rework the Arcade Mode one more time. If you literally get punished for fighting efficiently (aka making quick work of your enemies) that is not good game design

Can’t wait to check this out when I get bored of Rebirth. Which will probably be sometime in 2026

Have been waiting for it to arrive on PC.

What I would like is an upgrade from Final Fantasy mode, where spells are effective against the element again and the esper weapons have extra effects so that they aren’t so pointless. In general, I think all the houses should be accessible, it really bothered me that all the houses were closed. The loot you collect from bigger and stronger enemies should also be better, because it makes no sense if you get the same loot for big enemies as for smaller enemies. As a bonus you could add a mini-game, the card game from FFVIII and FFVII: Rebirth is really good, you could do something similar.

sick of waiting for ff17

FF16 was incredibly mid and even 13 was better

I want the Rebirth team to do XVII or XVIII after finishing the trilogy. In the meantime, I don’t mind Yoshi-p do whatever tbh. XVI was great, but not perfect

Fuck ff16

I want is XVII to be a more lighthearted game with more Final Fantasy IX vibes.

Final Fantasy VII – Rebirth was lighter in tone and I feel like that was a good thing. 
It’s been far to long since we had a Final Fantasy game that gave us that sort of wide eyed sense of of excitement, adventure and exploration in a setting that isn’t apocalyptic (even if Final Fantasy VII rebirth kind of is)

To me Final Fantasy VII – Rebirth was like a big sigh of relief that Final Fantasy might actually be able to find its identity again.

And I really hope that they continue that route rather than continuing the pure action doom and gloom trend.

I also feel like there wasn’t that much stuff to do in Final Fantasy XVI, the side quests were kind of so-so and the hunts were way too few.
Also there was no mini games (XVI could really have used some queens blood or something). Or heck some Chocobo related mini game or something.
While Final Fantasy VII – Rebirth kind of got too many mini games in my opinion.

I think the balance lies somewhere in the middle, have a few mini games that are really good and have great rewards in the end. (Like unlocking some of the best gear or abilities)

I also think that Final Fantasy would do well to get back into a more traditional equipment system. with: hat/helmet, chest, legs, arms, shield weapon, accessory.
That allows for more customisation and strategy, XVI was very dumbed down in my opinion when it came to that.
Also the growth system was kinda boring to me, in that it didn’t allow you to influence your stat posts at level up.
They could have taken some influence from Final fantasy VI when depending on what Esper you have assigned you can get different permanent stat boosts at level up.
Or the stat bonus in Final Fantasy VIII or something along those lines. 

I feel like I have no control over Clive’s growth I only have control over how I use him.
Sure I can assign “the talent points”, but it’s extremely easy to reassign and auto-assign and too quick till completely fill it all out.
Also it doesn’t really influence the stats, only abilities.

I preferred the Sphere Grid in FFX, it took a long time completing it and gave you a lot of freedom to customise your characters the way you wanted.
Do you want Aaron to be a white mage and Yuna to slap enemies with her staff doing 99999 in damage, sure go ahead.

I like the options you know.

I am happy that Final Fantasy VII – Rebirth is still an RPG at least and that it’s a little bit more involved when it comes to character customisation.

I hope they lean into it a bit more going forward.

Perhaps one day they will grow the balls to try a return to ATB as well, a man can always dream right.

I kind of want to see them do a synergy mode with Clive and the others. How long was attacked team Battle with ifrit and the other icons

I want to play as Dion!!!

FF17: the return to Ivalice…..IF ONLY!

I feel FF16 is done, they kept the story simple, the battles were fantastic for an action game, kind of a lite DMC. As much as I love to see Clive, Jill and Torgal, I feel rhey either go for 16-2 or 17

I love 16 and I still enjoy 14 from time time and I absolutely love Yoshi P. However I hope he never touches another final fantasy I feel his strengths are with mmo’s

I don’t want another westernized Final Fantasy.

It’s probably more like 5 hours of cutscenes and 5 hours of gameplay

I want a prequel with the war against Bearers when they ruled the world.

I want a true action RPG version where stats and equipment with passive skills actually matter, an elemental resistances/weaknesses systems, debuffs being in the game, actual meaningful skill trees, playable party members with their own equipment and skill trees to management.

They did away with of these things simplified the hell out of the game not being RPG enough, to not an RPG at all.

See you guys in 2031 for FF17

all i want is to see Jill happy, i still can’t get over the ending 😭😭😭
SO PLEASE YOSHI-P GIVE ME A HAPPY ENDING 🥺🥺🥺

Acc. to Yoshi-P, FF14 still has like 2 more expansions in mind after Dawntrail. Not sure if he’ll do FF17; Hopefully he does, that would be interesting to juggle with.

I love FF16 very much despite some of its flaws. I’m super excited about the DLC 2! (and I wish there’ll be more)

Will yoshi p still work on FF14?

Loved XVI so much! They should build XVII from the same engine and game systems and evolve the gameplay just like they did with VII Rebirth.

I thought XVI was overall… ok. I enjoyed it but there were a few gripes I had. That being said I’d be totally cool with another game with Yoshi P at the helm that further improves upon FFXVI

In a distant future I hope to create yet another REMAKE of Avatar: The Last Airbender by mixing it with the world of Final Fantasy: 16 through World Building. Simply put the story of Clive Rosfield will be a retelling of the story of Wan, The First Avatar. 😉

No thank you

Those thumbnails are the best. Jill ❤

So did Clive died? Didn’t die? They left it blurry for artistic purposes I know, but maybe we should finally answer the question before promoting a new patch.

More ffxvi, yes, i want more. Fun game and a damn good story.

I struggled to get thru 16. I just found it very uninteresting.

But what if you want to play as Chadley (or should i say Chat-ley), wouldn’t there be some character’s that recieve so much hate, not everyone wanfs to play everyone?

I’ve seen some nake Chadley fans, but i know msny if you would be pissed as newts if there was a XVI Rebirth collab with Chadley.

Maybe Chadley farts as his battle techniques along with a paddle that looks like a calculator and a sword that looks like needle tgat injects poison.

Great work, my guy. Ironically, my favourite thing about XVI is the lack of RPG elements

Part of me would love to hear an official FF16-2 announcement, but I wouldn’t say I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t happen. It felt complete. I will say I actually would prefer a prequel over sequel because of how the game ended. Maybe it could focus on Cid similar to how Crisis Core focused on Zack.

I really really hope that Yoshi P can direct 17 and get Soken to compose the soundtrack for it!

I agree, being able to play other characters and customize them is the reason most people love ff games, aside from stories of course, they need to always think about that likeable characters, dynamic and well developed characters especially the main playable characters must always be there. People dont want one character focus ff game, there’s tons of games like that alreadt.

Clive Died in the end sadly and there was no more magic, they can’t continue the story. Could be a prequel to FFVI some people say. They left it ambiguous but the trophy is a Fallen Star and Jill saw his star fading.

nooooooooo, no more ff16 just move on

they need to stop making excuses and change the fucking ending and make it a happy one

Amen to a playable Jill and Joshua. They’re the two most important people in Clive’s life. It’s a shame we couldn’t see or play from their perspective.

Plus this game is mid. I hope nobody gets the DLC so square can get back to there roots and make good FF stories like 7.

You new age players lol. The whole party aspect was how this genre starting. Just one playable character is something you youngsters get

After FFXVI and then FFVIIR2, I think a game somewhere between the two would be perfect. I’d like Ben Starr back if there’s ever a FFVIII remake too.

My only issue withs with 16 are the inability to play as different characters, small party, and how miniscule stat multipliers on things like equipment/buffs/items are. Like, great game overall but lacks a few of the more notable things that basically every other final fantasy has

FF16 was the 🔥

Bring on much more of this game, please!

Need something like Island Sanctuary in ff16.

NIGHT SKY PRINCE LOOKS LIKE RED XII AND EVEN SOUNDS LIKE HIS KID RED VOICE

The next FF MMO would be awesome.

I hate the english script to this game.
Want to see waht Rising Tide brings, but I hope no sequel comes along.

I would like to see the ability to transform into your eikon form at any time instead of in set piece battles.

It ran fine on ps5 in fidelity mode. No problems unless you’re a pc nerd that thinks it’s trash if it isn’t 500fps.

IDK man, XVI is good but it’s not my favorite. I miss the jobs, controlling party members, and not having a button masher of a combat system. They have been exploring that with spin-off titles which is nice but I want it back in the mainline. I’d be so down for an offline remake of XI

Ff16 sucks. I hate people trying to pretend otherwise. Its a shitty devil may cry AT BEST

It was a miss for me with 16

Please no more sequels, DLC is fine. Every sequel is (I’m estimating) half the development effort of a new FF mainline game, imagine FF13 was it and we had another FF title in 2014 for PS3 with upscaled version for PS4, examples like that are why they should just move on and make more (again DLC, plus I guess animated shows, mobile games, collabs, etc, are fine).

As an action game 16 is way better than debirth. Neither of them should’ve been full on action but at least you only have to control 1 person in 16. Not being able to directly dodge and parry with 3 party members ruins it in demake and debirth.

Ngl final fantasy 16s ending made me kind of mad but other than that it was a decent game

I enjoyed FF16 but id rather them just move on to FF17. Sure it would be nice for them to give us more playable characters but id much rather them take what they learned, sort out what worked and didnt work, and apply it all into their next big project

If Yoshi-P’s next game is a character driven action game like XVI, let it be its own IP.
If it goes back to being a real RPG, with stats and party members, then go for XVII.
In any case, Yoshida deserves to direct a major new game from beginning to end.

How about 16-2. 17 is already in the works by another team 😜

My main hopes for what could be added are DLC stories for Jill and Cid, and a mode with elemental weaknesses and resistances. Not having played the Omega DLC yet, I’m not sure if there’s anything that would get me interested in that the base game didn’t.

Yoshi p fanboi video 😂😂😂😂

honestly for yoshi-p and his team to bring out a whole banger of FF16 and how amazing their boss fights are while giving us a completed game. having more content to the game is just a cherry on top. i really loved ff16 especially how i am a DMC fan as well. What I really wanted is much more of a gameplay loop. Having the next DLC be 8 hours long is gonna be interesting, really looking forward to it!

i enjoyed this game despite trash frame rate performance in both modes. ruined my experience. will not be opening up my wallet for anymore additional content in FF16 unless SE patches up the frame rate performance in BOTH modes. but im not holding my breathe for it.

This makes my heart so warm and happy! Final Fantasy 16 is my game of the year 2023

CBU1 needs to do FF17

I just want a Dion dlc! 🙂Please, Yoshi P.; bring him back!

Why the heII did they code a speed run into the game and lock it behind a 5-10 second auto-lock?? Drives me absolutely nuts, and for the random person that always has to comment “tHaTs WhAt ThE cHoCoBo Is FoR,” stfu, his run is literally programmed into the game! Thats his actual run speed, he CAN run at that speed so let us use it at will, link it to the L3 button Yoshi
#LetCliveRun

It should have been all on the disk day one ! We don’t waste no money on dlc I’d advise others to do the same .

I’d like more weapon options.

only being able to use swords was a letdown.

for me i want more story for ff16 like gilgamesh,diablo or more hunts

Dude ps5 not running a smooth 60 is crazy. Look a horizon forbidden west it blows ff16 away in graphics. I dont get that.

I find this interesting considering how much ff15 dlc was hated

Please tell me that FF17 is not under the same team, I want the people who made Rebirth to make it

I was fine with Clive being the only playable character, but I would’ve liked to have bit more control or influence in the secondary characters, maybe even a basic AI or gear settings for them. But really, I was completely fine playing as Clive as it’s his story. I would prefer one fully fleshed out character over several mediocre ones (Rebirth)

FFXVII would be a double edged sword because of the expectations around it, it’s at Star Wars movie levels of not being able to have a mostly pleasable fanbase anymore. On the other hand a new IP would have fewer expectations even if Square’s recent history with new IP is less than stellar (Forspoken).

PC version still sounds like it is a little ways off (given QA, marketing, roll out process the likely best case scenario is end of this year or first quarter next year). Those that thought it would be coming out in spring 2024 alongside Leviathan dlc on ps5 are coping.

If they are going to go full action, please just make it more complex like a DMC game, as much as I enjoy the game at first playthrough, I find the combat really lackluster and it doesn’t have -enough depth to warrant a second playthrough. Also FF rebirth already proved SQEX can make an open world game, the FF16 map is really just underwhelming.

I want more playable characters. It should be a standard in these type of games by now. I guess I’ve been spoiled by all the mobile games out there that let you swap between playable characters during combat.

I really hope FF7R Part 3 has a Yoshi-P snowboarding easter egg. Just like the default high score you have to beat belonging to Yoshida.

30 fps? No thanks. Been waiting for it to come to PC. Honestly excited to play!

id like to see them fix the combat system so the best crap isnt cinematic skills that freeze the stagger bar and hit 50 times. Game has like 1 good build, everything else is play for fun at an extreme DPS loss.

Final Fantasy XVI was sooooooo good! That and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth were the reason I got my PS5, well worth it so far!

God just let us forget about this awful game SE

Why are your thumbs nails always girl characters ? Or the same ones

I liked the style alot BUT, gameplay was amazing in the beginning but began to go stale very fast, skills were flashy but they all did the same, whats the point in adding elements when it doesnt matter if you use water vs an fire enemy, fire or wind… thats just plain stupid, elements got no meaning… thats just stupid, elemental dmg +, – gives another layer to battles..
The story was kinda ok, little bit boring tho… But those sideq.. omfg, i got PTSD from them, all that walking around and i say walk because they run so slow!! >< Overall it was a ok FF, prefer 15 tho and ofc ff7 my alltime fav. so im hypes af for the remakes!

I hope the PC port launches with the DLC.

I was vary happy with 16 would love to see more content and would love for him to direct 17 no questions asked, just don’t let nomura touch the story I like 7 remake project but it would be better if he didn’t add kingdom hearts spin to it

FF7 Rebirth is all I ever wanted for the longest time. Sadly, these news of 16 aren’t exciting for me. I’d rather they moved on…

VIIR is better. XVI was just pure boredom I’m sorry.

16 is…not good. How about we all move on from this game..

All i want is to see what happens to the hideaway gang. Like a ten years later type scene.

FFXI + 3 = FFXIV (mmorpg)
FFXIV + 3 = FFXVII (new mmorpg?) 😁

They should move on 😮

I’d personally love to see DLC for just some other playable characters. Playing through parts of the game as Jill or Joshua or Cid would be rad af.

I really like Final Fantasy 16’s combat, I enjoyed hack and slash games. I’m really glad that it’s getting the DLCs to help make the game more enjoyable. I hoping to get the game pretty soon.

I’m still waiting for a performance patch and custom inputs for the PS5 version…

I need a performance patch before anything else. Yoshi p promised one and he has not delivered

They should try doing an actual RPG next 👀

I’m still tring to understand why FF16 got a way less budget and SE pull all of its eggs on FF7 remake trilogy instead of a new main title.

I mean why not? CBU3 is experienced with adding a regular content cadence and ’rounding out’ their game offering. So why not do it with this game aswell? Everyone loves FF16 to a degree. So they can only take this concept and run with it. New Eikon fights, new zones, new locations, cities, playable party members. Pick something and there will be positive reception that feeds into the game. I also take it developing DLC keeps the game relevant and they can sell complete editions of the game down the line etc etc.

Ff16 is my bottom 3 ff game. Hope yoshi sticks to ffxiv.

Something I’d find cool is a Tiamat Squad focused game, set during the Timeskip. You get to do a lot of Imperial dirty work, and experience the everyday life of the Bearer soldiers, and their unique sense of camaraderie. Play missions with Cid, Benedikta and Hugo as your antagonist (Clive probably wouldn’t have too many direct interactions), and you could give all the squad members different fighting styles, too.

What I would love for a dlc is a prequel story dlc focusing on the villains’ side of view. Like, what if we could play as Barnabas when he was acquiring Waloed?

I was 100% ok with playing only as Clive!

dude your videos sound so scripted. it’s like actually insane. I’m starting to think you’re not even real lol. you sound like AI. hopefully you see this.

I personally didn’t care for 16, so the idea of CBU3 and Yoshida developing 17 doesn’t sound particularly exciting to me, however, if they do take the negative and positive feedback from both 16 and 7Rebirth into account, and if they go for a bolder art direction with 17, I’m open to being pleasantly surprised.

They can simply remake 8-10 and be set for the next 10 years lol

No please don’t let him make ff17. Ff7 rebirth is perfect. We need more that with a different story and characters.

I believe my friend and I already preordered..
I can’t wait to see what “Leviathan the Lost” is all about~☆

I want to know about FF XXX (XXX = 30 in Arabic numerals).

I really like 16 especially the 2 time through on hard mode with dlc

All I want to see is an ending expansion, showing that Clive has survived and is living happily and at peace with his family.

Potential, yeah, sure…

I think it’s too much reading between the lines when it comes to additional major FFXVI content after Rising Tide. Yoshida, while not outright saying no, is clearly looking to move forward. He’s already said the next FF title shouldn’t be his because new folks need to come in to carry on the legacy.

I think even asking for more DLC is also a pipe dream. Wishful thinking and reading far too much into what’s being said here.

I love XVI. It’s a good game. I would love to see more, but it feels relatively complete so I will not be disappointed if there is nothing after Rising Tide.

Agree re: party members.

If this were truly JUST Clive’s story, it would make sense that only he is playable, but considering you are accompanied by Jill, Cid, and Joshua (and Torgal) – especially Jill – for the vast majority of the game… He is not alone for almost any of the game, and Jill, Joshua, Cid, even the many many side characters etc. are fleshed out in ways that kind of tell you that this is not solely the story of Clive. I think that in FF games this is just rarely the case – they build around having multiple fleshed out characters who join or encounter the protagonist in some way for extended periods of time. It was even more jarring in launch FF15 since Noctis is literally accompanied by important characters who fight as part of the premise of the game.

In Jill’s case there’s even an entire chapter of the game dedicated to her writing the wrongs of her past…. I think the real problem is that his kit of having all of the summons change his stances was an early core gameplay decision and they didnt subsequently design that interesting of kits for Jill/Cid/Joshua, they just kind of slash with swords + have some elemental magic/support spells means that the other party members are there for immersion purposes but already have abilities that are eclipsed or overlapped by Clive.

Another option would have been to just have bigger Eikon fights since everyone in our party is an Eikon essentially – we could have easily played as Shiva and Ifrit in that one lava monster battle instead of having her just shooting ice in the sky for 5 minutes in the background.

My favourite final fantasy channel

FFXVII.

I want a better ending

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was insane, I loved it. FF7 Rebirth is sensational. We have a team that can deliver us a Final Fantasy game that is an industry gold standard. I would like to see a change of gears. Let the FF7 team continue with FF7 and give us a Final Fantasy 17 led by Yasumi Matsuno. I want to see FF7 Rebirth’s combat with Final Fantasy 12’s style of world design.

Ff16 was my first FF game ever and I enjoyed it. But, when the credits rolled and I saw the astronomical number of people who worked on it, all I could think was; which one of these people put a purple filter on most of the game, and how could the hundreds of others allowed it? As trivial as it sounds, it has detracted me from wanting to revisit this world. It’s a beautiful world with an engrossing story smothered by a strange off putting screen filter.

This game is so good. I HATE the new FF7 game. It’s literally the most bullshit game I’ve ever played. If you don’t believe me, wait until the 5th time you’re wiped by a cut scene or play literally any of the minigames. It’s seriously a trainwreck.

I’ll never complain about more Final Fantasy no matter what

Idk if I want more of 16. I loved so much about the game, but jeez the side content sucked. It kind of sucked the fun out of it, and then I didn’t like the ending so that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m glad we got FF7REBIRTH so close.

I would be all for them going again, if not for 17 then maybe a stand alone title.

Final Fantasy XVI has a place in my heart. Clive has become an inspiration for me to make a life to live in my own terms

It’s totally superfluous but I would like to see a mode where you play as an Eikon and just lay waste to armies and cities full kaiju style

The nice thing about 16 is it felt like a completed game to me & any more content is welcomed & a bonus at this point

For all its issues (and it does have them!) the XVI system is a great base to build on. I would love to see another Yoshi-P + Ishikawa collab, building on the combat of XVI, but adding in playable characters and a bit more RPG-ness.

ff16 was a mistake

Ff16 is a cutscene snorefest

I will love to see more playable characters.

Come on Square, you pussies! Let Yoko Taro make the next FF!

Move FFXVI CONTENT mate.

But also link the pink sleeveless hoodie

I need more normal attack combos. 😅

The game has its issues. But with exception of FFXIV and FFVII Remake series. This game was more fun than every game after 10

Regardless of who directs FFXVII, I would LOVE to see Natsuko Ishikawa as a writer. Nothing in the series has felt more wonderfully like a combination of the best of all FF old and new than Shadowbringers from a storytelling and character writing perspective IMO.

After FF15, you’d think Square wouldn’t underdeliver FF16’s number of playable characters. It’s so silly. Clive is cool, but he doesn’t need to be the only character you can enjoy from having control of them. Having control of these characters adds to their appeal. We just get more out of them from them expressing their own fighting style. It seems like now the team has to work even harder to deliver something that should have been a standard instead of a potential bonus.

I just love how much FF we’re getting recently. I do hope square explores XVI more because I think it has even more potential to be fleshed out. Perhaps not as much as a game like XIV, but I do think the world of XVI is still filled with lots of mystery. I’m really looking forward to The Rising Tide though!

I hope Yoshida never touches a single-player FF ever again.

Let CBU1 do a FF17. They did an amazing job with Remake and Rebirth.

Let’s go!!!!

I’d even just pay $5 for a new eikon to just use in the main story. I’m not expecting a whole new story just for a new eikon, although it would be nice, but if they just release a new eikon to fight with I’d be more than happy.

What is they made dlc of the back story of each character like Jill cid and Joshua. I think that would go over good

I’d love a Final Fantasy XVI-2 to see what happens after the main story. There are also additional areas of Valisthea that have yet to be explored.

This is great news for CBU3 fans.
But I am really curious about the DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka – the director responsible for the Eikon fights in the game. So far, I love the improvements he made in the Echoes of the Fallen DLC concerning difficulty and accessories and looking forward to his work in The Rising Tide.
Also his comment about wanting to explore the Outer Continents has left me intrigued and YoshiP promoting him to director position and interviews similarly with Kitase and Hamaguchi.

I personally enjoyed Final Fantasy 16 and can’t wait for the DLC. Rising tide is awesome Leviathan is my fav summon always has been.

I can’t stomach another Yoshi FF mainline game. He saved XIV, but XVI was not it.

Thank you for coving all these interviews, NSP. I personally see more FF 16 content as a win! I love Yoshi-P’s mentality and ways of seeing things! If he was to direct the next FF or any new IP, I would be for it 150%!❤🙌🏽🤩

I know people are thinking “FF17” but let’s not forget they collaborated with The KH Team for FF16.
I wouldn’t rule out a Yoshi-P/Nomura Collab with Verum Rex or some other Future Project!

Still no XBOX…

Man i really want more features to FF XVI. I love the combat so much. A Boss Rush mode would be amazing for this game.

Let them work on the sequel to The Legend of the Dragoon. I don’t know who owns this license now but I trust them to do well. Perhaps even have Ishikawa as storywriter.

Pink is not your color mate. Thanks for the news. I plan on returning to 16 after wrapping up 7 Rebirth

Please no. Ff16 sucks. Combat is too easy and boring. It has less fun than ff7rebirth demo.

Kinda cool except for the fact 16 is trash

Can we finally get that sequel to Final Fantasy type-0

I can’t wait for PC port to play it again but as FF17 goes the hype is getting real 🔥🔥🔥

I honestly found the answer they gave very piss poor as to why Leviathan was kept out of the main game.

🎉

Ohhh more than The Rising Tide? that would be amazing for me
CBU3 is great at improving existing content if XVI is given more content many of the things we wanted could be added to the game
just in case devs see this
please add
-a difficulty mode that has elemental weaknesses (a way to change equipped Eikons and Eikonic abilities in battle could help with this)
-more basic melee attacks combo strings (maybe having combo variety reduce the ability cooldowns)
-have equipment and their status effects be more meaningful (maybe through items that can be attached to weapons and accessories and can give them entirely new effects)
-more enemy variety added to the open world would also be great
-and having a way to swap Torgal commands to Jill/Cid/Joshua commands and having them have meaningful support abilities that impact the game in more strategic ways than just DPS
-this last one is copium but a less open ending although they seem to want to stick to the open ended ending

if he does 17 too im done with the series forever after remake finishes

Edit: Not because 16 is a bad game…..but because it doesnt have any of the things that have drawn me to FF games for so many years.

They want new people to do Final Fantasy XVII.

Yeah!
