Final Fantasy 16 will return to a “classic fantasy feel” in its world building and tone, balanced with modern combat.
Yoshida told Game Informer that many core members of the Final Fantasy 16 team were big fans of the classic Final Fantasy games and their mediaeval European style.
A new trailer for Final Fantasy 16 was recently shown, revealing its release date as summer 2023.
The team is “focusing on creating a setting reminiscent of the original Final Fantasy games, but then adding to this that real-time action that’s more reminiscent of modern games.”
