> Asked if future Final Fantasy games may see a day-one release, Takai says "I think it's possible – probably even likely," before adding, "That said, the team in charge of each project gets to decide its own policy, so this is just my personal opinion." > > While Takai's thoughts are his, they align with what Square Enix has said throughout various financial briefings throughout the year. At the company's financial results for the last fiscal year, the developer spoke of a "shift from quantity to quality" as it "aggressively pursues a multiplatform strategy."

Not my footage but thought SteamDeck owners might be interested in seeing this.

Unexpected but looks like some bad frame rate dips here and there with around 20fps in most scenes where there’s a few things going on.

Hi Guys, I have been enjoying this game but just want to know how many hours more to complete so I can budget for new games (time wise)

I am currently at Boklad trying to cross the border where goetz lost his Traders Pass.

It shows 64% complete with 24hours played so far.

How long do you reckon it will take me to complete the story now?

> Yoshi-P explained that they are working hard to make the game run well on PCs, but he also mentioned that they can’t do everything, especially regarding the computer’s hardware. He said, “Of course, we will do our best to optimize as much as possible, but we cannot overcome the hardware barrier alone, so please consider that an SSD is a must. We will announce the exact recommended specifications on another occasion.”

Hi all ^^

I just beat the game and I'm attempting to go through it again on

without using the ring and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions about getting better at properly executing it?

I was using the ring on my first playthrough because I had really bad coordination issues and I wanted to be able to enjoy the story without worrying about it (it was the only assistance ring I used) but now I want to try without it and i can get it a good portion of the time but with quicker enemies it's proving to be difficult.

hopefully this is an ok place to post. thank you in advance! :)

> Q: Initial sales of "FINAL FANTASY XVI" were three million units. How did that compare to your expectations, and how do you plan to expand sales going forward?

> Takashi Kiryu: This achievement was in line with our expectations. To expand sales we have planned a variety of PR activities and other initiatives to encourage more of the growing PlayStation installed base to play the title.

> I'm usually not one to splurge for collector's editions of games, let alone controllers, and I never bought any console covers, but I couldn't pass up on the FF XVI limited edition controller / covers (at a very close to MSRP price). > Needless to say I'm super happy with my purchases, haha :) > > I really hope we'll see more limited edition console covers in the future (provided they don't all get scalped in a matter of minutes...).

Hopefully someone can help, since I don't think the official OST has been released but can someone let me know the title of the battle track that has the Rosarian somber orchestral arrangement in it? I've been looking for it forever because it's one of my favourite compositions ever and I'd love to a) learn it and b) listen to it when I can.
