Comments
Naoki Yoshida, Producer
Hello everyone, I am Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy XVI!
It has been quite some time since the initial announcement of the project, but I am finally able to release the second trailer, "DOMINANCE". I would like to thank the development team for their continued hard work to master up the game!
We have not touched too much on the game system aspect of the game so far, but we hope that this time we have been able to give you a glimpse of the gameplay, albeit only a little. Many action scenes are playable, including the main character Clive's full-fledged battle action, the abundance of its techniques that seem to be the summoner's abilities, and most importantly, the clashes between the super-sized summons.
Using the capabilities of the PlayStation 5, we hope to deliver a roller coaster-like experience that seamlessly links the story, battles, and clashes between giant summoned beasts. The development team, led by director Takai, is in the process of polishing the game for mastery. We hope that you will look forward to the release of the game in the near future!

Director Hiroshi Takai
We apologize for making you wait for so long without being able to release any information. We are finally able to release new information!
As for the current development status, we have reached the point where the game can be played from start to finish.
In this trailer, you can see the appearance of new summons and a glimpse of the highly flexible action gameplay. Of course, there are still many things that need to be optimized and brushed up, so the entire staff is working at full speed.
We will do our best to release more information without making you wait too long, so please look forward to it!
