Perhaps taking a cue from the ending sequence of Final Fantasy 15, there also appears to be some time-period shift in the game’s plot since we see both a younger and much older version of Clive in the trailer. Jill Warrick is another character we see briefly and is something of an adopted sister to Clive and Joshua, but not much is known about her role in the story just yet. Joshua’s Eikon is the fire elemental Phoenix, allowing him to use fire-based magic. Instead, he is the sworn protector of his younger brother Joshua, who was the one to become the Dominant but is still able to use some of the Eikon’s power. He is the son of the Archduke of Grand Duchy of Rosaria and was the one who was expected to become the Dominant of that kingdom. In terms of characters, we got a good look at our new protagonist, Clive Rosfield. The tagline of the game, “The legacy of the crystals has shaped our history for long enough,” perhaps hints at a villain’s goal to destroy the world’s Mothercrystals. While these elements will all make up the central plot of the game, those are all the details we have about the story so far. These Mothercrystals power the world however, something called The Blight has begun to spread across Valisthea. Each kingdom is granted magic thanks to its Mothercrystal, as well as a single person with the power to summon Eikons called Dominants. The game will take place in Valisthea, which is broken up into six kingdoms: Grand Duchy of Rosaria, Holy Empire of Sanbreque, Kingdom of Waloed, Dhamekian Republic, Iron Kingdom, and Crystalline Dominion. We know that Final Fantasy 16 will be going back to the traditional fantasy roots of the series as opposed to the recent games that had modern or even futuristic elements to the worlds. Between the single trailer and the game’s official website, a large amount of story information is available. We get glimpses of the story, cutscenes, and what even look to be snippets of actual gameplay. The reveal trailer, called Awakening, is jam-packed with details in its four-minute runtime. PC is likely to get the game earlier, perhaps even at the same time, as Sony has made a push toward supporting the PC more with their first- and third-party-exclusive games. Odds are Sony will have console exclusivity for a year, like what we’re seeing with Final Fantasy 7 Remake, at which point we could see the title hit Microsoft’s machine. Unlike many other early PS5 titles, it appears that there will be no PS4 version of this game.Īs far as PC and the Xbox Series X are concerned, we’re still in the dark about how long this exclusivity deal will last. It makes sense given the long history between the two companies and the fact that the game was revealed during a PlayStation 5 showcase that Final Fantasy 16 will be a timed console exclusive for the PS5. We expect a more precise release date as we get closer to the end of 2022. With the release of a new trailer at Sony’s 2022 State of Play (more on that below), Square Enix gave a release window of summer 2023 for Final Fantasy 16.
