Final Fantasy 16 will not have an open world.
Director Naoki Yoshida confirmed the news in an interview with IGN, although he said that recent open world games have provided “inspiration”.
“We’ve found in our extensive user research that many of the younger generation of gamers have never played a Final Fantasy or don’t have any interest in the series. To create a game that might excite and resonate not only with our core fans, but also with that new generation, we played a lot of games ourselves, and so yes, in [Final Fantasy 16] you’ll find inspiration from recent triple-A open world RPGs,” said Yoshida.
