Following comments last week that Final Fantasy 16 was in the “final stages” of development, producer Naoki Yoshida has offered a further progress update, confirming, among other things, that a new trailer for the long-awaited JRPG is expected to release soon.
Previously, Yoshida had told Uniqlo’s UT magazine – where he was featured to promote a new Final Fantasy t-shirt line – that Final Fantasy 16 was “in the final stages of development” and that the team hoped to deliver a “comprehensive” experience “full of story and gameplay”.
In new comments made during a Nier Reincarnation and Final Fantasy 14 crossover livestream, as translated by Twitch streamer Audrey (thanks Polygon), Yoshida joked to interviewer and Nier producer Yosuke Saito that Square Enix’s American PR team “got mad” at him following the Uniqlo comments. Undeterred though, Yoshida was willing to speak a little further on Final Fantasy 16’s progress, saying the game is “greatly coming together” but that he wants the development team to spend more time on polishing the experience.
