>The reason for marketing both young Clive and adult Clive is that there is a time travel mechanic.
>Paladin hero boy is your rival a big part of the story, and his party consists of a cleavage showing archer elf, the loli healer, the bishounen thief, the asshole warlock, and a big aniki warrior. They shit talk about you in every part of the world and take credit when you do a good deed.
>Clive fights them like how in Pokemon you fight your rival in different points in the story, and basically wrecks them every time, except Paladin hero boy who is no joke and massacres people left and right.
>One part that is cut is a big Roc (bird) sequence that will be replaced with a long movie.
>The reason why all the lands are named after Dragon parts is because the entire world of FF16 is on the back on a dead giant dragon, and the crystals are basically his scales filled with lifeforce.
>Paladin hero boy (ironically) is the summoner of Diablo.
>Sony apparently has interfered with the story/characters, as it is part of the contract, and basically added/changed some things, like 1 major character has had his gender changed to be a female.
Does Hackshida actually believe this is good writing? Lmao
>Game will be launched October 2022. > We're using a lighting system more closely aligned with FFXV (global illumination) rather than FF7R (mixed dynamic and static lighting). Ray Tracing will only be used to speed up GI calculations. > The senior dev team want to flood the game with MMO fetch quests instead of Witcher 3 style side quests. We're trying to create good side-stories but management just won't give us enough time. If I had to give it a number, they want it to be around 40% cutscenes, 50% main story, 10% side content. > Load times are next to none, we've managed to completely eliminate load times within each city. The only loading will be when entering/exiting the over-world. > There's a secret "Sylph" village you can only enter after meeting certain requirements. Beating it gives you abilities and cute gear. > The main story beats will be based around destroying the crystals to break free the cycle of control they've put in place to keep "balance". Phoenix is not the true "fire eikon" (there's only one per element), but instead sits outside of the cycle. He chooses who his dominant is. > MC's mother was from The Iron Kingdom, she was the previous dominant of Phoenix. She escaped before execution, was taken in by Rosaria and then used for her powers. > The main antagonist isn't actually in development yet. Clive is an antihero who destroys a lot of the world in order to absorb Eikon power. He has a "Shadow of the Colossus" ending.
>time travel mechanic Sounds incredbily dumb. It‘s literally just a fucking timeskip after joshua turned into bahamuth and vclive turned into a phoenix. (Or vice versa dunno) then clive hunts down the guy who did this.
Final Fantasy was a dunlster fire for 20 years and it will continue to disappoint.
Ethan Williams

>Sony apparently has interfered with the story/characters, as it is part of the contract, and basically added/changed some things this doesn't happen sony is not in the position to throw their weight around here. they're desperate for a huge exclusive like ff16 to sell the console. they have no leverage.
John Scott
It's sad how FF14 is the only reason this series is still relevant.
Jacob Sanchez
literally only the MMOs are good yoshi-P having his name on this is the only reason anyone cares, and the xv-sperg is making daily hate threads

>Ruthin Rosefield Gayest sounding name of all time. Nothing screams "takes it up the ass" like that faggot name.
Ayden Davis
I'm sure everything OP said is true trust me my dad works at nintendo.
Carson Wright
The story is going to be butchered to hell if that last point is true. Fuck Basedny and fuck the ethics commitee.
