As we all know, one of the most anticipated games of the next year is Final Fantasy XVI, but since it was announced last year for PlayStation 5 we have not heard anything from this promising installment of the Square Enix saga. Not surprisingly, it was one of the great absentees during E3 2021, although now, Naoki Yoshida, its main person in charge, has shared some more information about its development.
Final Fantasy XVI story is now finished
According to the producer of the game Naoki Yoshida, the main story of Final Fantasy XVI is already finished and the team is working on finishing recording the English dubbing. Additionally, Yoshida wanted to assure us that their development is going quite well and is flowing normally, although they are trying hard to make the final product show the highest possible quality, which is why they are taking little by little steps.
However, here the big question remains when we will see the game again, something that does not seem to happen anytime soon, because the creative does not believe that they will show it at the Tokyo Game Show, the Japanese video game fair that will have a showcase between September 30 and October 3.

Most recently, Yoshida indicated that he would like to continue the Yorha: Dark Apocalypse story, and if the budget and time allow, they will.
Yoshida doesn’t want the game to be shown to the public again until they make sure it’s fully polished and ready to be featured again, as they want to convince everyone to get hold of it when they see it again so hopefully we’ll see quite a few improvements over its first trailer.
As for Final Fantasy XVI, according to current plans, the release is not expected before 2022.
