Final Fantasy 16’s new trailer is here — and it’s in its final stages

FINAL Fantasy 16 releases in less than a year, and we’ve heard very little about what’s in store for one of the most popular series of all time.

However, every time we do grab a glimpse of the upcoming RPG, we are stunned by what is on show.

Today was no different as fans were pleased with what the latest trailer “Ambition” had to show.

Ambition shows us the five main factions that are at the centre of the upcoming Final Fantasy, which will fight it out over the duration of the story.

It also gave us a disappointingly vague release date, but at least it’s more than what we knew before.

The five factions include: Rosaria, which looks a lot like your traditional-style fantasy kingdom where the sun always shines.

The Holy Empire of Sanbreque, where everyone lives deep in the ice, eager to take more fertile lands.

The Dhlamenkian Republic, which resides in a hard desert.

The Iron Kingdom, which appears to serve as the obviously evil faction in the game.

The final region, the Kingdom of Waloed, appears to be completely shrouded in mystery.

Warring nations is a common staple of the genre, but rarely do we see five battling at once in what seems will be a narrative challenge.

However, Final Fantasy isn’t really known for its straightforward and understandable plots, so this one might just fit in nicely.

We also saw some flashy over-the-top battle sequences with godlike powers and summons.

The difference this time is that the summons, called ‘beasts of great might’, appear to sap the user’s health.

We saw some boss battles that will feature in the game, with what seems like a focus on one-on-one battles.

Game Director Hiroshi Takai ended the trailer with some words on development.

He said: “The team has turned its full attention to debugging and final adjustments.

“Now that things are starting to come together, the game is sizing up to be something truly special”.

We’re going to have to wait a while longer to see for ourselves, as the trailer ended with the announcement of a Summer 2023 release date.
