Poll Final Fantasy 16 will be Sony's big announcement this Wednesday, according to this site (46 votes)

I believe it 52%
Not happening 48%

With Sony presenting another showcase this week, the rumors around Final Fantasy 16 has been ignited again, but this time around, with more precious clues. The most important reference to Final Fantasy XVI‘s announcement is a recently created Twitter account with the same name registered by Square Enix.

Later on, after Sony officially announced its 40-minute showcase around PS5 titles for September 16, the announcement tweet has been retweeted by Shinji Hashimoto, the brand manager for the Final Fantasy series and the producer behind many Final Fantasy games including FF XV. Reportedly, he tends to retweet the events that his games would make an appearance there.

Last but not least, the team behind Final Fantasy XIV recently revealed that they have finished the pre-production process for their new project and that they were hiring new developers for this unannounced game which is highly rumored to be Final Fantasy XVI.

What do you think, SW? Do you believe it will happen? I'm going to go yes with this one. Would be an awesome announcement!

I doubt SE can do anything beyond VII Remake series at this point within the franchise, unless it's some spinoff for mobile or Switch. If they announce XVI then it will probably be another XV case in which it will take years and be late in the gen or even next-next gen.

There is a bigger chance of god of war 2 being announced.

I sincerely doubt it, but if so... Don't be another FFXV.

I'd believe it. Honestly surprised it hasn't been announced already, but a new gen on the horizon seems like as good a time as any to start the (years long) hype machine.

And yeah, not sure why there seems to be some new confusion about SE only focusing on one FF at a time. These games have been in overlapping dev cycles under different directors and teams since gen 5.

I believe it, but I sure as hell hope that isn't the big surprise... FF has sucked for years now.. well outside of the MMO that is pretty good that is.

Just give me SOCOM damnit... SONY said they were going to be pushing online multiplayer next gen and haven't shown much of anything yet outside of the RL/Twisted Metal abomination (yes, I'll probably get it :P).

S O C O M damn you S O N Y.. lol

They already have Althia and FF7R Part II. If it's just an announcement, possibly. But we won't be seeing that into fruition anytime soon.

Come on Sony lets go! bring out all the gun

Hell no. If you show your entire you'd be f***'d. We may get a new FF announcement but the new S:MM and Demon Souls footage...that's going to be EPIC!!!

How and why is Sony fucked? Xbox or Nintendo dont even have games this year.

Dang it Sakaixx...it's a rule. You never show your full hand. You ever play cards? Some things have to be keep a secret for the sake of the greater mission xD

But...they're going to show a lot. I KNOW!!! They already showed a few people behind closed doors and I'm telling you...we are in for a treat. Trust me on this one

That sounds believable. It maybe another time exclusive. 🙄

I sure hope so. Smart strategy by Sony heading into a new gen to help cement PS5 as the best place to play.

Final Fantasy games have not been great in over a decade. I sure wish the would go back to traditional swords and sorcery (like 1,2,4,5,9). Unfortunately we all know that is not going to happen as that crew is stuck on Final Fantasy 14 forever.

*And 11. They actually went back to finally start supporting that game again.

You could say it is a shame though in a sense, as the most talent from Square Enix right now seems to be in their MMO divisions, with 11's Chains of Promathia, Wings of the Goddess, and 14's Heavensward and Shadowbringers having better stories than their single player outings.

Exactly. As much I enjoyed Final Fantasy 11, and 14, I just wish they would get back to making real Final Fantasy games. Unfortunately with them too busy holding up the entire company with revenue from Final Fantasy 14, we are stuck with the B teams making all the non-mmo Final Fantasy games. Sad really.

If this hasn't even started, or only just started, then it would not seem ideal to make it the big announcement. Plus, given the success of the FFVII Remake, you'd think the follow-up that's suppose to be coming in near future would be worth giving considerably more attention to.
