I’m waiting for the Dion and Joshua’s additional story.

面白かったです！生み出してくれてありがとうございます。
小３の息子はストーリースキップしまくってましたがはまってズットしてました。😂

I just finished the original Famicom version of FFIII today (replayed it for 3rd or 4th time) and I have to agree with Soken-san, the OST of this game is great, way ahead of its time. Uematsu-san cooked something that should have been on SNES.

Mr. Soken and Mr. Yoshida, thank you very much for making this game. I bought my ps5 just to play this game and I love it so much. The story was wonderful, the music was beautiful, the characters are full of life and so complex, the visuals oh so stunning. Thank you very much for giving us XVI!

is it good?🤨
is it worth your time?🤔
will i enjoy the story?🙃
those are my worries hold me to buy FF16 after disapopintment with 7 remake, sorry😱
also i’m not intended to buy 7 rebirth after 7 remake disapopintment 🥲

btw Thank you and😍 What a great interview 😍

I would dethrone god for these two men for what they did in XIV and XVI

Ludwig: I’d like to thank my parents for making me play musical instruments instead of video games.

Soken: Mom!!! What have you done to my saved game!!!! 😭😭😭

本気ですか

When I played FF16, this was honestly one of the best soundtrack I’ve heard in a game ever.
I think that Soken is one of the game composers of our ages, FF games always have great soundtracks but he’s special.

Thank you for the wonderful game.

I also bought a soundtrack.
I’m still playing fun!

thanks to you both for all this wanderful games
この素晴らしいゲームのすべてに感謝します

PC release when? 😭 Ready for Pre-order

I can’t help but find it funny that they talked more fondly about FF14 in a video that’s supposed to promote FF16 😂 SE’s pretty cool to allow devs to be more themselves in their promotional videos.

Respect both of these guys very much. I’m unfortunately not a Soken fan, but he deserves the attention he gets.

PC

At this moment I’ve just finished FF16
Finally a great game
I’m playing too all the FF series of the pixel remasters
2024 is MY FF year 😉
Thank you

These two will go down as among the greats in videogame histery

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for inspiring works! + the pain when the game saves deleted because of a vacuum cleaner… the pain….

Yay, your billing system just screwed the SEA players. Get it sorted out quickly thanks.

7:30 I’ve been using Rescue the right way all along!

Thx for making such a masterpiece of gaming community

Square enix doesn’t deserve these two legends

Let’s all thank God for this two individuals.

Such a great interview!

Thank you so much for all of the hard work you both did for Final Fantasy XVI, and for helping to make such an amazing new entry in the Final Fantasy series!

I love Final Fantasy XVI, and I would honestly be more than happy if CBU3 is able to also have opportunity to create Final Fantasy XVII as well! Regardless of who makes the next mainline Final Fantasy, though, I’m very thankful I got to play Final Fantasy XVI. It’s an amazing game and an incredible entry in the Final Fantasy franchise!

Thank you for making ff16, easily one of the greatest final fantasy games imo, I loved it

Soken is completely just in tooting his own horn for Endwalker.

What’s the name of the music at 3:36

These two legends… absolute geniuses. No other words needed.

Thank you for FFXIV and FFXVI, waiting for Dawntrail to release!!! ❤❤❤

Thank you for all you’ve done! ✨🤍✨

These 2 guys + FF = 😘👌

I love yoshi p, he seems like a really good person and he really is a great director. SE is lucky they got them. That’s why I support SE still because they have these people working for them, I really hope their sales on games gets better.

still waiting for XVI’s PC release!!!

Ever grateful to see Mr. Soken in better health these days. Much love to these two.

You both look well, live long and prosper.

I wish I was half as passionate and devoted to something as these two are.

im so surprised that they allow ocmments on this video?!

Least rhe game is now completed with it’s 2 DLC, unless XV, where they canned the last 2 Supposed DLC.

“I don’t mean to toot my own horn…”

No. By all means. Toot. You’ve earned it!

Xbox release, 🙏?

I hope they’re able to make 17 or 18. I want Ishikawa to write it!

The only true successors to Uematsu and Sakaguchi.

Loved that they referred to Uematsu and Mario! One brought life to videogames through music and the other was an icon for videogames himself!

I love Final Fantasy 16 🥳
(THANK YOU! Yoshida-San and everyone who worked on it 🤍)

Final Fantasy XVI is incredible

Legends! ❤❤❤

I remember when i first met Yoshi-P at Pax West(Seattle) when they were showcasing FF14:ARR before it release for the titan trial shook his hand and didn’t even know who he was 😢

Thank you! Ff16 is amazing!!

Beautiful interview, these 2 are goats for real 🙌

The gawds of Video game music

Thank you, Soken, Yoshi-p, and the entire CBU3 team for Final Fantasy XVI. This is my favorite game of all time now. ❤❤🔥🔥

Thank you both for bringing Final Fantasy back to greatness. I can’t wait to see what 17 has in store for me now after being disappointed for so many years.

Lots of love to these two legends and their team for all the beautiful moments they gave us! I loved FFXVI and I am looking forward to Dawntrail! <3

Despite what people had to say about FF16 and its departure from the other titles. It was the most fun for me even while I play FF7 rebirth currently. There’s no combo game like FF16 and I really love when the combat system *CLICKS* for you, you start to come up with amazing techs and combos to defeat enemies with a ton of style. I really like the fact that some OG fans hate this because it shook stuff up from what they’re used to! It was needed in my eyes!

最终幻想16很好玩的

Thank you for everything you do, Yoshi P and Soken ❤

TWO GOATS having a leisurely chat.

I’ll always have high admirations for the amazing work from these two legends.

Cool dudes

Keep it up, you guys! Thank you for creating amazing games for us ❤

These two legends care a great deal for their community, and for the legacy of their games in general.
Truly an example to follow for all gamedevs, especially nowadays. Thank you for being awesome, Yoshida-san & Soken-san!

Protect these two legends at all costs.

XVI music ❤❤❤ thank you to the producers of Final Fantasy ✨✨✨

FFXVI was an amazing game, awesome interview it rare to get insight into the people behind the games.

Soken is only one of all outstanding composers working for SE

The friendship these two clearly share is wonderful to see. I feel honored to be a guest in the wonderful world (FF14) they have helped to create. I love how down to Earth they both are, and how they both acknowledge and respect the rest of their teams as well. I have so much respect for both of these humans, and wish them nothing but happiness, health, longevity, and love for the rest of their days.

Banger video

Legends among kings! ❤️

I bought FFXIV Dawntrail day one and FFXVi this week.
Im so grateful for playing both games, Im having a great experience with FFXVi while Im waiting FFXIV Dawntrail releases, thanks for all the love and hard work you putted in both games! ❤❤

These two men have propped up the entirety of Final Fantasy in the past decade and I thank them.

Ahhh those 2 are my Heroes!! What a game they made and what a fantastic music they created, soo thankful for the great experience 😀

4:45 I’m glad it left an impression on Soken! Shout out to Alex and others for putting the project together. I was just one among over 1000 voices, but was so happy to be a part of that collab!

Thanks for making such amazing games

Thank you for your work and dedication on FFXVI.

Awesome Interview!

Thank you for FF16, its one of the most epic and awesome games I have ever played. I hope for a PS5Pro Patch before replaying It ❤

Currently I am scared to start the rising tide, i dont want this game to be 100% clear and done 😭

Two legends right here ! 👑

What a great interview with these two legends. Thank you !

Love this game. but i just wanna see Clive and Jill happy

Hey, yoshi p cultists how did you feel when turn based game baldurs gate 3 won game of the year?

I really respect Naoki Yoshida’s work but it broke my heart when he disrespected the JRPG genre that I love so much. Final Fantasy XVI was an amazing presentation but the gameplay was not superior to the classic JRPG experience that we grew up with. It wasn’t very dynamic and you ended up having a rotation of moves you’d repeat just like Final Fantasy XIV. I don’t think JRPGs have fallen from popularity, but I do think there are fewer companies making good ones.

Awesome The Games That Made Us Naoki Yoshida and Masayoshi Soken FINAL FANTASY XVI Video.

Loved FFXVI and Rebirth, keep on Square!

FF 16 OST is my sons (7 years old) first favorite Videogame Score. I think this was his entrance into the Videogame Soundtracks 😊 He especially loves “Find the Flame” 🎉 Thanks for everything 🎉 FF Fan since 97′ here ❤

I’ve played all FF series and F XVI is my most personal favorite FF. Thank you Yoshi P Soken!!!

When Soken mentioned eternal wind it came to my mind instantaneously, its actually absurd how good of a track it is, how it evokes a sense of the adventuring the world, the pixel remaster version is even more gorgeous, Uematsu still got it

shinryu making victims since old times lmao

My boyfriend and I love the games you two have created, and we hope you both continue to amaze us ❤ Thank you both so much 😊

Yeah right i guess u can only save online not mainline 😂😂😂😂

I love that these two are so appreciative of their audience – both of their “most memorable moments” are proof of that. The whole situation with Soken’s illness during ShB development, how it was kept secret, then eventually revealed to the fanbase and much of the dev team only after he’d recovered at the virtual fanfest that year… I still get teary thinking about it, I’m getting teary now. And then the music compilation that the community put together to welcome him back afterwards being his most memorable moment… Imagine if you’re Husky or Alex or Denmo right now, what a massive honor. Okay, now I need to go find the ninjas cutting onions again…

FFVI will still be the best FF for me, but FF16 is the second one… no more SciFi Fantasy but full medieval setting (yes there is still remnants of ancient technology) and although there is some steampunk in it, this is what I was needing from a FF game, and the game provided just that… I do not often buy collector’s edition and this time around it was just impossible for me not to do it. I will buy the DLC once I finish a couple of other games I am playing, and I hope we can have a new FF with this same approach but in an open world!

If Yoshida is watching, please let him know that I can’t log into his game until the 14th. I’m not blaming him, I know he is as pissed as I am about these damn hackitivists who are DDoSing the servers for some perverted reason and ruining the game for everyone by making it either impossible to log in or cause the game to lag and freeze and crash randomly because some jerkwad flooded Hyperion with fake information, making the game unplayable. I won’t go back on until I am sure that the freezes and crashes are mitigated. I know they’re trying their hardest to fix things, but those hackitivists are toxic vipers who know how the Internet works. 😢

I hope they know how much they inspire us

Thank you both !!

Let’s go!!!

At this point in time, after playing in the FF franchise for over 25 years, I have to say – FFXVI is my favorite! 😊

I want more dlcs for ff16…the Game is awesome

Thank you both for an amazing game, mentioning FFXVI in this solely.
Having been a giant FFXIV fan, I have always stayed a big fan of you two’s work.
Final Fantasy XVI was just amazing, and I am currently replaying it, because of both DLC’s releases. The music, the atmosphere, the story… It never fails to amaze me, and it will always stay close to my heart. The OST is something I listen to daily currently, because of this replay and it just keeps hyping me up.
Thank you both, again!

Thank you all so much

15:00 wow impressive

Awesome questions! These are questions I would ask these two masters if I ever met them.

Thank you all for everything

I’ve been playing the FF games for the first time since the Pixel Remasters came out last year on PS5. I’ve played and platinumed FF1-10, 10-2, 12, 7 Remake/Rebirth, Crisis Core and 16.

Currently playing FF13 and will then do FF13-2, Lightning Returns and 15 to finish my binge.
Can’t wait for FF17. Keep up the good work Square.

The plan is to finish the whole series before going for FF14 on the PS5.

SO-KEN. SO-KEN. SO-KEN. 🫡🙌
