Yoshi-P says the team actually wanted to release the FF16 2nd trailer in March 2022 this year.
However, due to the war in Ukraine, they decided to postpone the announcement as they felt the heavy themes of the game + world events might hit too close to home and not be enjoyable.

Omg finally- some of the previously FC-only Empyreum districts will be open to the general public via lottery starting July 11th!
Districts that will allow non-FCs to enter are from District 10 through 24. #FFXIV twitter.com/FF_XIV_JP/stat…

Yoshi-P is very aware of specifically Americans +their complaints on English voice acting lol.
For FF16, they made sure NOT to include any American accents to prevent Americans from getting upset thinking "if it's in fantasy Medieval Europe, why do they speak American English!?"

I saw a DeepL translation floating around where it misinterprets the Dengeki interview in FF16 about the story following Clive to the “end of his life.”
That’s not what the interview says. Here’s my translation of the excerpt. The story FOLLOWS Clive from start to finish.

Yoshi-P mentions in the 4Gamer interview on FF16 that what still needs to be done is:
-Voice acting for side quests, banter, + recording for other languages
-Debugging
-Portion of side quests
Next set of news is planned for Autumn 2022 w/ a trailer focusing on the story + world.

I find it funny Yoshi-P refers to Nomura as "Tetsu-san," (Tetsuya is Nomura's first name).
The context is from the FF16 Famitsu interview where Yoshi-P was thinking about adding Limit Breaks into FFXIV, and Nomura said to him that he should do whatever he feels like doing.
582
YOSHI-P TALKING ABOUT DRAGOONS AS FLOOR TANKS LMAO:
"I heard after the trailer dropped that people were saing 'wow, the Dragoon is the floor tank yet AGAIN…' But actually, the Dragoons are really strong in this game, so be vigilant if they come to challenge you!" #FF16

Yoshida gives more insight into the story via the new FF16 Famitsu interview
-Clive feels inferior to Joshua as he did not inherit Phoenix
-Garuda's design is influenced by Benedikta's personality
-A forbidden clash of Eikons is the catalyst for the story
Here's my translation!
584
Yoshi-P says in Famitsu’s FF16 interview that for those who loved FFXIV’s Heavensward expansion, FF16 will be right up their ally!!!
Why yes, I do believe in Heavensward supremacy 😌😌😌
585
So, Clive's gonna be in his 30s in FF16 at one point, eh?
Let me just drop some photos of (hot) err, I mean, important FFXIV NPCs who are in their 30s. I'M SO EXCITED LOL 🥴🥴
586
Official lyrics for "In the Balance" from FFXIV's Aglaia's Nald/Thal battle has been released along with the official Japanese translation as well! #FFXIV twitter.com/FF_XIV_JP/stat…

Regarding FF16's Mature Rating:
Some concerned parent, somewhere: But think about the children!!!
CBU3: Bruh, this game ain't for them 💅
588
FF16 will show Clive in his teens, 20s, AND 30s? I am so on board for older FF protagonists 🙌🙌
Also interesting points:
-Story purposely rated M to tackle mature themes
-One of the themes is "clash of values"
-Time skips happen + side quests will explain lore during time skips
589
This makes a lot of sense if you’ve played FFXIV since each area is gigantic and has its own stories that happen within the area.
It’s large enough that it doesn’t feel too linear and also opens up possibilities for you to interact with characters and explore the environment. twitter.com/IGN/status/153…

I love how when asked why CBU3 decided to make FF16 a high fantasy setting, Yoshi-P's answer is pretty much "yeah we're going back to the early FF roots, but honestly it's cuz we just felt like it 🤷♂️"
GOAT 🐐🐐
591
Yoshida confirming for us via @IGN’s interview that FF16 will indeed have one or two party members, but they seem like they will not be controllable as they are AI driven so players can “focus solely on controlling Clive.”
592
The analogy that Yoshi-P uses to compare the Eikons to nuclear weapons and the Mother Crystals to oil fields is interesting and adds a very realistic spin to the Kingdoms warring against each other to take each other’s aether and Eikons.
593
Aerith's character profile from the #CCFF7R website talks about how she has a "spiritual aura" about her and that her meeting Zack at the Sector 5 Slums Church was a fated encounter.
Here's my translation!
594
For those curious about Genesis' character profile from the Crisis Core FF7 Reunion website, here's my translation!
He has been confirmed to be voiced by Gackt, and since #CCFF7R will be fully voiced, it's assumed that Gackt will do the additional voice recording for the game.
595
Nomura mentioned in an FF7 First Soldier stream in January 2022 that Ever Crisis will have an original story revolving around the 3 characters you see in the FF7FS trailer. They also confirmed Nojima is writing a story about Young Sephiroth too.
Their gear looks rather similar🤔
596
It’s been three days since the #FFVII25th Anniversary stream. How we all feelin’? How many times have you watched each trailer? 🥹🥹
597
More Genesis HD comparison pics- the PSP version is honestly not even that outdated, but the Reunion version's textures are just so good #CCFF7R

600
Ok hear me out here:
FF7R Integrade introduced this character toggle title screen, right? What if they do the same thing for Rebirth where after you finish Cloud's route, Zack's route is unlocked??? 🤔🤔
KHCoM did this with Riku's route, also called Reverse/Rebirth...🧐
