Predictions for E3 with FFXVI then?

Release Window or Date?

Do we get a Collector's Edition Reveal?

Do we get a similar showing to that of how FF7Remake was shown off, around 20 or so minutes with a possible demo the next day.

How Much do you anticipate it to be $70? $60?

October/November 2022
Collector's Edition Reveal Next Year
Better Trailer this year, more story details.
$70 , $80 Deluxe, $120 Collectors.

I just wish they would announce it already. I could actually see it being on the first day, too. I don't think Sony is gonna do a conference at all and MS is on the 13th, but there's no reason to wait for them. Even if SE is doing something with them, they can tease it themselves and tell people to watch MS the next day.

Their last Square Enix Presents was announced only 7 days before it went live. I guess the same will happen here?

So is this showing up at E3, or some side event?
A trustworthy person in the forum said it would show up (even so, grain of salt). Can't find it right now, though. I think it was in the Fanbyte FF Origin write-up thread.

Since S-E's E3 event will probably be the Summer S-E Presents they alluded to, I hope we get this early next week and FF XVI is in there:

I need the game as soon as possible, but I'm also not in a hurry to start begging someone to sell me a PS5. It's complicated.

What're you gonna do, rob 'em of the source code? Hold them up at gun point to have your PS5 disc pressed early? LOL

Really hoping for an announcement on either Monday or Tuesday.

Hope to see a SE Presents announced tomorrow around this time for next Thursday. Would be great to finally have the day we see more of this game set in stone.

No S-E Presents announcement today, huh.

In the meantime, SnazzyAI did a mock-up for what the game could look like in 60fps:


It's been a trend for next-gen games so far. I hope it's the case here too, especially since XVI seems to be going for a character action game vibe, even if it's still an RPG.

Yeah I think atleast a 60fps mode has a good chance of being there.

I hope we get more info about XVI's gameplay at E3. I'm expecting no party to be confirmed. I don't think we'll get a release date, but I'm predicting the game will release in September of 2022.

So I guess this game will show up again in that rumored PlayStation showcase happening later this Summer.

When a showed my dis pear to Navtra regarding XVI, she said this:
Assuming nothing changed: just wait a couple more weeks.
Naturally, proceed with caution as, like she herself implies, this was the plan at the very least, and you know how fragile plans can be when it comes to videogames, especially with a damn pandemic. But yeah.

I hope we get to see Clive soon again. We haven't even seen him talk!

I'm worried that they're going to somehow make this game look shit now whenever it next appears as well

After that dumpster fire of a new game reveal that just happened, that next FFXVI trailer better show a female party member and confirm the party is fully playable and in general show the world is more interesting than the first trailer made it look

Off-topic but why does SE hate colons?

"STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN"

:-/ And it's not even new. Whenever an FF spinoff has a subtitle, they never officially type the colon (for example, it's "CRISIS CORE FINAL FANTASY VII", etc.).

I wouldn't really expect much in the way of a party or playable female characters :( Would love to be wrong. Even if they're not playable, but give me travelling companions.

The world I think will look cooler, though, if the concept art and the map's city icons are anything to go by. Rosaria looks goddamn plain.

2 FF main games 15 and now 16 with only a playable male main protag and now straight out of 2005 angry bland dude on top would be damn awful.

Most of Square-Enix's E3 2021 YouTube trailers are getting heavy dislike ratios

I've never seen this happen before for Square-Enix. Screenshots included at the bottom in case they hide the ratio. Not a good night? Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster First seen: 22% dislikes. 12 hours later: 34% dislikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xMKSh3GF9c Stranger of Paradise: Final...

I really like older Clive's design, but I agree.

A diverse party is always something I look for in a FF, and XV really wasn't that from more than just one point of view, on top of their designs being pretty bad imo. I fear that XVI will be a solo journey in the vein of, idk, Assassins' Creed or The Witcher.

I know it's hard to create parties, but I think FF VII Remake had the right idea and size, even, so as not to complicate things too much. I didn't even mind the linearity and not being able to choose the members for most of the game.

Yeah. I know VIIR exists but the series is well overdue for some new female party members.

Let Jill fight.
Like how does SE look at the surprise success of Nier Automata and the continued popularity of 2B so much that her costume made it into freaking Fall Guys and then goes you know lets not have more female characters in leading roles in future FF titles our premier franchise despite SE clearly seeing people would like more of those in their games.

Still crossing my fingers for Jill being Shiva and not only a party member but a playable one too

Man I am actually relieved XVI didn't get lumped in with all the shit in that presentation. Save it for the hype state of play. I'm fine with that.

I like her design so I am down for more designs like that but you are saying you rather have bland mc gruffins on his quest to kill Chaos than a female character even if means she has design heavier on fan service? But its not even so much the design as them having a clearly popular recent female character and somehow it leads to no female characters in new FFs its bizarre

Since we might see XVI in a couple of weeks at a SoP, I expect another story/gameplay trailer. No deep dive for a looong time.

Paired with some screenshots and information. Maybe even an interview/blog post.

I said it in another thread, but Final Fantasy Origin looks so hilariously rough and edgy...

Seriously, Square Enix, it's 2021, I think it's about time to make a game featuring women. I'm not even talking about female protagonists, but about women, you know, *existing*.

Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy Origin... And it seems that even FF XVI's main party could also be another sausage fest.

Let's see what they show in the next trailer, but at the moment I am much more interested in Forspoken, to be honest.

And then there's the treatment of women in Kingdom Hearts 3. Poor Kairi...

Only Final Fantasy VII Remake seems to be getting it right. Why can't FF XVI just go in that direction?

Seriously, I really hope the next trailer shows a female party member. I don't want FF XVI to be FF XV 2: Electric Boogaloo.

no, absolutely not. i would wish for them to have more female leads. They actually had some good female characters in the series (ff6, garnet/dagger, ...) i was just saying that im dissilusioned with current Square and that they would find a way to get the worst take from B2 (sex sells) instead of (people like cool female characters).

the main of FFO is kind of a slap in the face, and has pushed me over the edge: i wont nomura gone. nothing he touches in the last few years seems good to me, his designs since the first versus trailers also got really stale, and ...i just feel like he is an angst ridden edgy teen in the body of a 45 year old men with to much creative fredome.
