Everything they show about this game sounds really great.
The artwork shown here along with the world map and details on the different poltical bodies within that world map give me a real sense of confidence in the world building that's gone into this project.
They haven't even asked that I please be excited because they know it's already happening.
Would be cool if this was the box art:

WE DID IT!!!!!
Great waking up to this. Glad to see there are 6 nations and that world key art has me so hyped!
Curious if Joshua will be in our party and what not.

Who else had flashbacks to the FFXV map unveiling!
I can see distance between the kingdoms. I am looking for details now.
6 Kingdoms: Rosaria, Waloed, Sanbreque, Dhalmek, Iron Kigndom, Crystalline Dominion,
Crystal Dominion is clearly the kingdom in the middle I think with the giant crystal we see int he new art today. Heart of the world. As the description says, the biggest crystal.
Waloed is the kingdom of the whole continent on the east. The city in the north of that east continent. The right of the image. It has a giant tsunami or water whirlpool happening. Its logo looks like Odin Horse? But that water whirlpool could mean water summon ?
The Iron Kingdom. We see a giant shard sticking into an island on the left of the map, after the west big continent. That could be it, it is isolated.
Rosario is the kingdom to the north if this island. Opposite of the Waloed capital. It is on the north of the west continent.
Dhalmek? My guess is, 5 states, as it says. I see 5 small town symbols on the western continent. Idk.

I think the place in the center is Crystalline Dominion, it says that place is in the center of the land.
Yeah it's pretty spelled out on the teaser site "built around the tallest of all the Mothercrystals, Drake's Tail"
yup, i corrected it, i looked at it first before i noticed rosario was the other crystal place north on the west continent, it is corrected!
Probably unrelated, but yes. The one in XII is an empire, and the one in XVI is duchy.
I made a tweet about Vagrant Story and an user had a tweet showing that Jiro Mifune might be involved in FFXVI.
Jiro Mifune was the visual effect supervisor of FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, FFXII and Tactics Ogre. He also stopped working on FFXIV after Heavensward
This man has always been a wizard.
Nice catch. Yet another undercover superstar who had a hand in some great games.
Hahaha well made XD
Exactly!
You are the Hercule Poirot of unearthing stuff about FF development.
Wonder if they'll use Unreal Engine 5 for this game or have they finally got that damn Luminous engine up an running.
Personally perfer UE5.
Personally perfer UE5.
Can't be UE5 since they've been developing this since 2016/2017.
Unless they were originally developing it with UE4 and are waiting to transfer it to UE5 next year.
Let's hope not. Seems like Unreal 5 will only be fully released end of 2021.
It seems like this game was originally planned to be released in 2021, now probably early 2022. If they have to port the game to Unreal 5 that will take more time.
This game is probably not on Unreal 4 anyway.
I'd be shocked it it wasn't a modified version of the XIV engine.
They said it was a new custom built engine. It's entirely possible it's something of a Frankenstein between Crystal tools and Luminous, but we don't know for sure.
No it is a separate engine that was built via assistance from the Luminous engine team and share some similarities but they're not the same engine.
Lol incredible.
I'm assuming they just mean art style, not graphics. Other wise they should be put in a padded cell.
My biggest concern, really. I guess it depends on how diverse and deep they're making Clive's combat style with his Eikon moves and the like. Not that character action games (XVI seems to have that DNA) can't have more than one playable character, see DMC 5.
If there's a party, I think it'll be around 3-5 members. Maybe all of them Dominants to differentiate from Clive, who might be a jack of all trades, master of none. The Dominants could be very specific in their elemental magic (they'd only have one) and moves, I guess.
I don't think Final Fantasy XVI is going to get rid of the tradition of party members. There's too much to lose from both a commercial and creative perspective if Clive is the only active character.
