Final Fantasy XVI releases June 22, 2023 and we have gathered literally every piece of information about the upcoming game and put it in this short digestible list. You’re welcome, by the way.
Breaking new ground

You don’t have to play the first fifteen but fans will be real dickheads to you if you don’t play VII
This will be the final game
After Final Fantasy 16, there will never be another video game ever released
It will feature a new spelling of the word “magic”
Majjic? Magico? The developers are keeping their lips sealed about this exciting new word!
It won’t be open world
Instead, Square Enix has invented a new system with several smaller maps called “levels”
Every character is named Cid
Now you won’t have to guess what point they’ll show up in the story
You’ll be forced to make tough decisions that affect the story

There are no NFT tie-ins
But there’s still plenty of time for Square Enix to fuck that up
It’s inspired by Game of Thrones
The developers have said that the popular HBO show inspired the game’s shitty ending
