Final Fantasy XVI teaser site open with more details. Main character is called Clive Rosfield
- Thread starter Dreamboum
- Start date
I hadn't really thought about this but yeah it does basically suck getting told that the franchise you grew up with and love is basically telling you to "play the shitty spinoff game or learn action combat."
If they took something like FF7R and had auto attack like Xenoblade to limit the amount of inputs it could retain the flair without being the baby mode that "classic" mode is in FF7R.
I also feel like if this was an open world game they would have said it already, so I am sticking with my prediction of large open zone like 12 or the Xenoblade games, maybe even bigger in scale.
So is Jill from any of the 6 kingdom? They mention her as part of the "Northern territory" but not a kingdom. Not sure If I'm getting it right.
Also do we have a world map so I can understand more where each kingdom is located?
I'm hyped to dive in this game's lore.

DQ8 doesn't really belong with the others, a design like Yangus isn't really what I would call anime generic lol
Looking forward to this, was sick and tired of the futuristic nonsense of some of the previous titles. It felt like FFXV was the culmination of that.
Hey ! I like me some Paris ok ?Leaked dev meeting conversations :
" Guys, we want it to be Ivalice and Eorzea but not Ivalice and Eorzea so we are free from canon. What do we do ?
- Called it Valisthea, nobody will notice.
- Genius. Done. "
Also :
" what is exotic fancy architecture ?
- Paris.
- Also Venice.
- But we already did Venice in XV ?
- Yeah but it was a waste and this is too good to pass on.
- Okay, let's do Paris on top of Venice canals then ?
- Yeah, but don't forget Crytals. Like, GIANT CRYSTALS. "
3 that we know of. All information we have pertains to what is presumably the beginning portion of the game.
I like the MC's name (what's wrong with Clive? Someone else come up with a better name then) and liking the sound of the kingdoms/concept. Interesting that the crystals are named after different drake body parts.
Also the art is gorgeous.
They aren't gonna announce them all at once
the first time 12 was shown it was just Vaan and Ashe
To be fair, we don't even know the playable party yet. These are just the key characters that were shown in the reveal trailer.
Yeah I can't believe there are only 3 characters across 5 kingdoms, crazy
I really wonder what's going to happen to Clive to make him go on a revenge journey, is Ifrit going to kill Joshua or Jill? Will Clive want revenge on Ifrit and his dominant?
I love me some revenge story with all the nuances that comes with it so I'm anxiously waiting for this game and it's the major reason why I went with an PS5 instead of Xbox.

So, from the early translations of the trailers, "Zanbrek" seems to be "Sanbreque". There's also way more nations/lands that many of us theorized there to be.
FFXII, it wasn't even the entire world where the game took place, just a region.
FFXIII, please...
FFXV, I refuse to see that as being Eos in its entirety. If THAT is all that exists on Eos, it's mainly a water planet with tiny little islands clustered close to each other and nothing more.
FFXVI, on the other hand, THIS is what I want. Looks meaty, looks fitting for a FF-world map. I'm not expecting old school style exploration, but more something like zones, BUT I hope we can explore the HELL out of it and feel satisfied with it. I also hope there are many methods of transportation. We got our feet, we'll likely get chocobos, but howabout boats/ships? Howabout airships (classic, propellered airships)? I HOPE we see all that!
Clive, Joshua and Jill fit more as "mainline FF names" than if they named him Galfaldral Lulorion or something like that. The more simpler names actually harkens back to the more old school FFs when you had characters named Edward, Guy, Maria, and Gordon.
Lightning is the only name I dislike, to be honest. It has nothing to do with it being as blunt of a name as it is (like Cloud), but maybe has more to do with being as long as it is. I prefer my names pretty simple. Clive works in that regard.
Fuck ME, we got a fuckin' WORLD map! We got a fuckin' WORLD!!! I think the last single-player FF to give us an actual world (online ones are VERY GOOD at including actual worlds into their games) was FFX and one was small by comparison to most others:

I'm hoping for that. That's been SORELY MISSING in many modern FF games. More dungeons, more secret locations. Cut all those fetch quest missions, add more missions that revovle around secret locations and dungeons.
And I, and among others were wondering if this game was just going to stay baked in the more grounded, dark and realistic setting. Nah, this shit's straight up fantastical fantasy. I felt this way about Tenebrae in FFXV and it's a shame nothing became of that location other than being a pitstop on the way to another location. When I think of fantastical lands of "Final Fantasy", I think of shit like this. ESPECIALLY a big ass crystal tower (like in the castle). Reminds me of the sword in Alexandria, the Sylx Tower of FFIII and the towers in FFIV. THIS, IMO, is what an old school FF world SHOULD look like!And lol, they can reuse some of the assets from FFXV's Altissia I guess :p
We went many years with Noctis and Stella as the only revealed characters for what eventually became XV.
The initial reveal of XIII was ONLY Lightning.
When X was announced, the party shown was just Tidus (with black hair!) and Yuna.
Cloud and Barret were the only technically confirmed characters for VII Remake for about 4 years.
Like, give them a minute. :D
Imagine playing FF16 for 20 hours, and youve barely dealt with 2 kingdoms. I feel like this could be a meaty game! wow. I need to explore this world and the regions between kingdoms. I need this game.
Some high resolution versions of the art at https://press.na.square-enix.com/FINAL-FANTASY-XVI. Including the full shot of Clive and Joshua back-to-back. According to the signature on this, it's Kazuya Takahashi.
That is some Vagrant Story-ass piece of concept art!
I am PRAYING that its zoned. Especially with the practically 0 loading times that will be possible on PS5, this type of design choice seems like it'd be a no brainer
Sorry they burnt me so many times I just expect the worse now, I just want the old ff back
Yeah one of my biggest disappointment of this gen is FFXV totally cutting short everything after leaving to Altissia and making it just one big train ride lol. Even Altissia is largely wasted potential. I hope in this one we can walk to that huge spire tower (and spires) in that picture lol.

I'm guessing the time skip is 4 or 6 years since Square will obviously want 12-year-old Jill to be 16 (Japanese version) or 18 (Western versions) post-time skip.
FFXIII world map
FFXV world map
------------------------
Loving the kingdom and lore descriptions. I really hope we can go to all these kingdoms? Realistically maybe only 3 or 4 though?
The name is okay
All 3 main characters are the worst designed FF protagonists since pre FFIV era though. Just forgettable. But hey its hitting every other note

Honestly I vastly prefer these names over the names in XIV like Myrlweb Bloefswynn or however you spell it
Clive reminds me of the name Claude
Jill is an awesome name
gimme

Clive not being a Dominant is obviously because he's a bastard son, like Ramza
Man you're really hung out up on 14 being as amazing as it is.
So each of them has/can transform into a summon (Ifrit, Phoenix, Shiva) Im guessing. I like the designs and setting so far.
We don't know who Ifrit is but it's not Clive. Joshua is Phoenix and Jill is theorized to be Shiva but also unknown.
lmao Clive Owen as a name has been in my head all day because of this.
