The development of Final Fantasy XVI was delayed by at least half a year -apkrig
There are only a few days left until the end of the year, and if you’ve been anxiously waiting for Final Fantasy developers to keep their promise and bring new information about the upcoming 16th this year, we don’t have good news for you. Rather, the producer of the game, Naoki Yoshida, has shared good news for you today, apologizing to the fan community for the delays that the development has gradually experienced. Although Final Fantasy XVI has not yet set a release date, production of the game has been delayed by at least half a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and all the plans that the people of Square Enix have shifted accordingly.
“The last time we spoke, I promised you new information about Final Fantasy XVI in late 2021. But I regret to inform you that due to the coronavirus pandemic, developments have been delayed by at least half a year,” Yoshida began his message. Yoshida sees communication as the biggest obstacle in development, which is hampered by the need to work from home, which should lead to delays in the delivery of individual components from external suppliers and, in some extreme cases, their deletion or, better said, non-inclusion. “We spent most of 2021 solving these problems, trying to reduce their impact to a minimum,” says the producer positively, listing the areas that his team will now focus on. It is an overall improvement of the graphics, reworking of the fights, highlighting of important encounters, the final improvement of the cutscenes and, last but not least, the overall optimization of the game. “Our primary goal is to spend as much time with the game as possible to ensure that it is as tight as it can be,” says Naoki Yoshida in conclusion, giving some hope that the game could actually arrive in next year.
However, the release date has so far only been speculated, although the people from Sony, on whose console Final Fantasy XVI is aiming, have provided clues. Valisthea 06:16 will appear very briefly in an advertisement from September this year at approximately 0:38, which the players translated as the release date of the new Final Fantasy on June 16, 2022. Valisthea is supposed to be the region where the new game will take place and Given how short and subliminally the inscription is placed in the video, this is enough for many fans as proof. Even with a delay, however chased the end of 2022, provided the guide is correct and the community interprets it as the Sony people put it in the video. Most important in this regard, however, will be next spring, during which Yoshida plans to release more news and information.

Even before the apology to all the fans who are looking forward to the sixteenth part of the final series of Final Fantasy, they talk about great spring revelation, so if everything goes according to the newly established plans, it can easily be the date of issue.
