‘Coming sooner than people think’
Final Fantasy XVwas no spring chicken by the time it finally released. Its long, winding, troubled development is well-documented, and the timeline became something of a joke. In fact, that 10 years stretched to the point where work on the nextFinal Fantasygame reportedly overlapped withXV.
On theTriple Click podcastthis week (as reported byVGC), Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier revealed thatFinal Fantasy XVIhas been in development for four years at this point. However, Square Enix is wary of divulging that information because it wants to avoid any comparisons toFinal Fantasy XV‘s development cycle. Schreier adds “[Final Fantasy XVIis] coming sooner than people think.”
Final Fantasy XVIwas onlyformally unveiledlast week, but it seems as though Square Enix won’t keep people waiting too long. That doesn’t mean like stealth PS5 launch game levels of quick, though. Square Enix is planning a “big information reveal” sometime in 2021.
