The next project from the Final Fantasy XVI developer, Square Enix's CBU 3, will likely be more lighthearted, as Yoshi-P seems to be done with dark fantasy for the time being.
Speaking in a recent interview with MinnMax, Michael-Cristopher Koji Fox, Square Enix localizing supervisor and senior translator, commented on what could be next for CBU 3, saying that, by looking at Yoshi-P, he can tell he is done with dark fantasy and that whatever project he and his team will be working next will be light-hearted, and a complete paradigm shift from Final Fantasy XVI.
During the interview, Michael-Cristopher Koji Fox also goes over the translation process for Final Fantasy XVI, confirming that the script was first written in Japanese by the game's creative director, Kazutoyo Maehiro, and later translated into English. Once the translation was done, they went over every line to make sure the translation captured what the writer intended while keeping the medieval Western drama feel inspired by TV shows like Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom the team wanted to achieve.
Final Fantasy XVI is now available on PlayStation 5 and should finally release on PC before long. You can learn more about the game by checking out Kai's review.

What begins with kingdom-wide subterfuge and destruction ends with a world forever changed and the player, as Clive Rosfield and Ifrit together, are the driving force to see it all through until the end.

The launch of the newest main-series entry in the long-running RPG franchise last summer came with critical acclaim, lauded at the time as one of the best RPGs of 2023. Final Fantasy 16 received a nomination for «Best Role-Playing Game» at the 2023 Game Awards, and won the award for «Best Score and Music» during the show. Now, a new bug is plaguing fans' new playthroughs of the game.
The Rising Tide is the second and final expansion for Final Fantasy 16, adding another worthwhile chapter to the tale of Clive Rosfield. Only accessible near the very end of the base game, this DLC is designed to be something of a sendoff for the action RPG, providing a new storyline that brings additional weight to the title's world building, while also giving players an opportunity to dive yet deeper into 16's slick combat system.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and one of the big advertised features was the addition of the water-themed Leviathan Ikon, but it turns out there’s actually a second new Eikon and set of moves included in The Rising Tide – Ultima.

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, which introduces the new region Mysidia.

Here’s how to do so…
Last week, Square Enix unveiled the official PC benchmark and accompanying trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Dawntrail. The trailer gave fans glimpses of new in-game areas, enemies, and combat upgrades. While that all went over rather well, the game's decade-old character creation engine is drawing ire this time and the eyes of character models, in particular.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and as you’d expect, it includes some new gear, including the best weapons in the game thus far. One of these is the Tonberry Knife, which isn’t the most powerful in the game in terms of raw damage, but is the most best in terms of inflicting “Will” or stagger damage. For those familiar with FF16’s combat system, staggering enemies frequently is arguably more important than just dealing raw damage, so you’re going to want to get your hands on the Tonberry Knife. Here’s how to do so…

Don't worry, you can ride your Chocobo, but you have to complete some tasks before you’re able to do so. Here’s what you have to do…
