“I know Final Fantasy games can get delayed at the last minute,” said producer Naoki Yoshida at a press event in New York earlier this month. “Unless a meteor falls on Japan, there will be no delay.”
Initially announced in 2020, Final Fantasy XVI has been a long time coming. However, after delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it entered the final stages of development last year.
“First of all, it is true that Final Fantasy XVI is a six-month limited-time exclusive on the PS5 platform,” Yoshida told the Japanese PlayStation Blog.
