Uniqlo Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida says the next mainline game in the Final Fantasy series is in the “final stages” of development, according to translated comments Yoshida made to Uniqlo’s UT magazine.
Yoshida, aka “Yoshi-P,” also offered some insight into the development philosophy of Final Fantasy 16 — insight that seems tailored to appeal to the kind of player who might fondly remember past Final Fantasy games, but really only buys the retro T-shirts now.
Final Fantasy 16 was announced in September 2020 as a PlayStation 5 game.
Publisher Square Enix hasn’t communicated any kind of release date for Final Fantasy 16, but Yoshida himself has promised to show new information about the game sometime this spring.
