Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director says it's just like the original JRPG in a key way: "We've reached for something that was never possible before today's technology"

As Final Fantasy 14 prepares to launch on Xbox Series X/S, Square Enix has revealed that Xbox console players will need to use a new currency called the «FFXIV Coin» to pay for services and optional items. Square Enix then stated the new currency is exclusive to Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox consoles, but did not state all the services it would be used for.

Content in Final Fantasy XIV is seemingly endless. The MMO includes something for everyone, whether you’re a more casual, story-based player or someone eager to find glory by challenging legendarily difficult Extreme Trials. While this balance has always seemed to strike a sweet spot with Warriors of Light, XIV‘s director Naoki Yoshida believes the title’s lack of overall challenge leaves much to be desired.

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu believes game music has become too similar to film and «cannot develop further» if continuing in this direction.

Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida has said the massively multiplayer online game has become too relaxed in the last few years, so he and developer Square Enix are looking to increase the difficulty going forward.

The director of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre has once again rejected revival demands, suggesting fans simply play Unicorn Overlord instead.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director has hinted at the possibility of expansions for the JRPG's best minigame.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a stellar game, and the bevy of minigames it offers has become one of its most highly praised elements. Even with nearly 30 minigames on offer, however, there’s one in particular that has proven most popular with the game’s player base by far- Queen’s Blood, which is not only an entire, in-depth card collecting and battling game in and of itself, but also comes with an entire storyline revolving around it.

Final Fantasy 14 is a pretty chill experience for the most part, especially if you're not a big raid buff, and I think most of the community agrees that the game has been getting significantly easier over the years with each expansion drop. A lot of that is intentional, especially in the game's main story, as it could be potentially frustrating for someone to suddenly hit a brick wall of difficulty after having been invested in a game for close to a decade.

The PC port of Final Fantasy 16 is at the end of its development cycle, producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida has revealed.

In a recent interview, Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida expressed his intent to make the critically acclaimed MMORPG more challenging in the future but stopped short of saying what he would exactly do. While Final Fantasy 14 developed a reputation as a stress-free experience during Endwalker, Yoshida stated that he and the developers had gone a bit far in that regard, and wanted to dial it back.

Square Enix has provided an update on the PC version of Final Fantasy 16.

Square Enix’s Creative Business Unit 3 is gearing up for the launch of Final Fantasy 16’s next paid DLC, The Rising Tide, this Spring. However, it’s also working on the PC version. A release date hasn’t been announced, but producer Naoki Yoshida revealed to Game Informer that it’s in the “final stages of optimization.”
