One of many extra attention-grabbing aspects of interviewing varied members of Artistic Enterprise Unit III, the studio behind the event of Remaining Fantasy XVI, throughout this cowl story journey, was listening to concerning the variations between creating an MMO in Remaining Fantasy XIV and a brand new single-player Remaining Fantasy. With the previous, CBUIII will get to create settings and characters they will simply return to in future patch quests, expansions, and extra. However theoretically, that’s not the case with the latter – Clive Rosfield’s story wraps up in Remaining Fantasy XVI.
And proper now, that certainly may very well be the top of Clive and the remainder of Valisthea’s story as a result of presently, CBUIII has no plans for FFXVI DLC, based on director Hiroshi Takai. He and producer Naoki Yoshida say the workforce’s precedence is getting the sport into gamers’ fingers to see what they suppose.
“It’s a one-off sport,” Yoshida tells me. “We’re asking gamers to pay the total worth for this expertise, and so we would like an expertise that’s going to equal the amount of cash that gamers are going to be paying and we would like them to have satisfaction equal to what they paid or much more than that.
He, Takai, and the remainder of CBUIII I communicate to reiterate they created Valisthea to be huge, and it’s a world the workforce want to return to. I get the sense if the demand is there, CBUIII is prepared on a second’s discover to return, maybe by DLC or, harkening again to its MMO experience, an growth. At this level, contemplating latest entries like Remaining Fantasy XV and Remaining Fantasy VII Remake did obtain DLC, it’d be uncommon to see FFXVI not obtain any.
“We don’t know if persons are going to fall in love with Valisthea and fall in love with Clive’s story and wish to see extra of the world and extra of its characters,” Yoshida says. “So whereas we at all times wish to think about DLC or spinoffs or these kinds of issues the place you’ll be able to be taught extra concerning the sport, first we wish to see if Valisthea and Clive are actually issues gamers all over the world wish to see extra of after which make that call.”
On an analogous notice, Takai says there aren’t any plans for non-game tie-ins a la FFXV’s Kingsglaive to complement the world of FFXVI in the intervening time.
