เมื่อคืนมีคน leak ข้อมูลของ FF16 กูเข้าใจแหละว่าคงแค่โพสเอาขำๆ แต่ถ้าเสือกเป็นจริงขึ้นมา กูขำไม่ออกเลยว่ะ
- Final Fantasy XVI's game cover will return to a mere white background (or maybe black) with the logo on it; the logo will be a big rose on the left with lots of petals scattered on the right, and some thorned vines coiled around the
letters; its colour will be a deep red that turns to green towards the edges.
- A big part of the soundtrack will be composed by Nobuo Uematsu.
- The original concept from FF16 was shown in the "Agni's Philosophy" trailer, but since then it has been completely changed to the point that almost nothing of it remains now. However, it could still be present in the game, in some
form..
- FF16 will be set in an almost entirely fantasy world, with some occasional steam-punk elements. The starting locations will be inspired by medieval/renaissance Europe, with the main town resembling in part Altissia, in part Tenebrae
from FFXV, but most of the game world will be based on various asian cultures, with some areas inspired by ancient Arabia, many inspired by ancient China and India, and even some by imperial Russia.
- The game is supposed to be massive in nearly every aspect: the world will be the hugest in the series, surpassing even FFXV's one and will include over 40 different locations including towns and caves; the main plot alone will
take almost 150 hours (not including the numerous side-content), and feature over 50 plot-relevant characters.
- There will be relatively few side-quests, but a huge load of secret areas, monsters, objects, etc...; also there will be a lot of mini-games, including: chocobo-racing, dragon mounting, 4 different card games (1 similar to FFIX's
Tetra Master, the other 3 are played using classic poker-like cards) and a 2d-side-scrolling minigame where you play as a moogle.
- The main character will be a little girl with long curly blonde hair and a flaming red gothic-lolita dress; she fights with a rapier. Sources of inspiration from her design are Chaika (from Chaika The Coffin Princess), Amy (from the
SoulCalibur series); personality-wise, she will be vaguely similar to Lightning.
- The second main playable character will be a tall middle-aged man with a brown coat, a fedora hat and a big shotgun; he will be somewhat of a Shinji-like character. The main party will also feature a very old witch dressed in purple
that will be the group's black mage, and a furry boy with a
somewhat cocky and arrogant attitude, that fights with his bare hands but also can learn enemies' skills like Gau from FF6.
A lot of other story-important characters are also planned, that might or might not be party members: for example there's a sort of mad-scientist-looking character with grey hair and a white lab coat; also there's a woman that looks
like a slightly more mature version of Aerith with bigger chest, but dressed in green; then we have a black man in a white cape somewhat resembling Zasalamel from Soul Calibur, and a young and handsome soldier with blonde hair and shiny
light-blue armor; the woman shown in Agni's Philosophy will be present too, but she'll look way different.
- The game structure is planned to be the same of Final Fantasy VII REMAKE (i.e.: open-world/world-map hybrid); in various points during the story you will be able to use a variety of vehicles and mounts, such as: ships, airships,
chocobos, dragons (including a flying one), also there's some sort of "train" that allow you to fast-travel between some determined locations.
- The game battle system is plannet to be a slight variation of FF7R's one that is, if it gets well received.
- The game will be direct by Hajime Tabata with help from Hironobu Sakaguchi too.
