Are ya'll expecting an "Uncovered" type of event for XVI? I personally do, I loved that format so much, it sky-rocketed my hype into space

Considering how FFVIIRs marketing was kinda modest compared to FFXVs, because of COVID I believe, I dunno. I hope!

Imo 7R marketing was more modest not because of Covid but because FF7 itself is such a big brand on its own that just having the name attached to it would do most of the marketing work.

I'm betting that if it happens it'll be a livestream event in all likelihood.

Yeah I agree, FFVIIR isn't really a brand new numbered title and is pretty much in the spin-off territory in addition to the massive legacy that it's attached to so it makes sense that they didn't really go all out in the lead up to release. FFXVI is entirely new and as such needs as much exposure as it can get to sell people on it and get them familiar with it.

Looks like Jiro Mifune is working on FFXVI, he was the visual effect supervisor of FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, FFXII and Tactics Ogre.

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.

Final Fantasy XVI is “quite action-oriented,” but includes story-focused mode.
