Final Fantasy XVI director is Hiroshi Takai (The Last Remnant, FFXIV 2.0)
- Thread starter DiipuSurotu
- Start date
To be more clear, he was the director of The Last Remnant and the assistant director of FFXIV:ARR and FFXIV:HW. Also, Naoki Yoshida (a.k.a. Yoshi-P), the producer and director of FFXIV:ARR and all of its expansions is producing XVI.
I'm optimistic.

The Last Remnant is an underrated game that good some really cool and interesting things, imo. Excited to see him at the helm of an FF. I wonder if Sekito will compose at all.
It definitely looks like FFXIV but a bit more HD, hopefully we get into more exotic places after leaving the starting city
Immediately this gave me XIV and TLR vibes, and neither I've played. It doesn't help SE's approach to western men is very obviously them. But yeah, overall footage vibes were of XIV and TLR. Both having solid reviews, too, so I'm faithful!
Maybe I'll bump TLR into my soon to play list after all.

I loved The Last Remnant and FF XIV is a decent game bogged down by MMO gameplay.
Very excited after seeing the trailer but still cautious when this releases.
There's a few slowdowns here and there but didn't notice any major problems.

Exactly. It's not a target render, not a CGI tone trailer, not some logo and "coming soon" but a full trailer with what looks like real, actual gameplay in an achievable graphical state.
Seems very "soon" for a FF title.
It has a Dragons Dogma/DMCV combat designer on board, and you feel that. I think it's gonna be good stuff. Really hoping it also has party switching ala FF7R.
I miss classic FF not this stuff they are doing with FF15 and ff16, it's not even FF anymore
Yup. But I'm sure we'll see plenty of those oh so clever "lol see you in 2025!" posts until SE announces the release date next year.
Is The Last Remnant Remastered on PS4? I'll get it on a sale and see what this director is like.
I like what I have seen, but I hope they enhance the look of the character models. In general, I think the visuals could be enhanced. Project Athia definitely looked ahead from a graphical perspective, makes sense it is further off though.
It's so weird, everything regarding this game is so promising but the graphics look so underwhelming and drab.
Yeah Athia is definitly later out now. You watched the XVI trailer in 4K yet? I think it isn't far off from Athia.
It's a weird game.
I LOVED it, honestly, more than anything of the XIII\XV saga
I'm incredibly excited for this. This team proved themselves by reviving XIV and bringing it to where it is now (from a story prospective XIV is at the greatest point it has ever been at) so they deserve to get a crack at a mainline title again. This game could be HUGE.
Ryota Suzuki/Oni-S isn't the "DMC combat designer". He was one of the designers on DMC5, and presumably worked on the combat, but we don't know exactly what his specific assignments were. We do know he is a combat guy, but we don't know if he's the combat guy. Given that he wasn't involved on DMC3 (and neither was Neo_G), but lead designer Yoichiro Ikeda and many other Team Itsuno mainstays were, presumably not.
But he was the gameplay player lead on Dragon's Dogma and the lead designer on Dark Arisen, so presumably he was heavily involved with the combat design on those.

I think one of the insiders said that it may come as a surprise that Athia will be the one that's really pushing the PS5.
