Square Enix Asks Final Fantasy XVI Players What They Want for Its Roadmap in Future

Final Fantasy is one of the most popular franchises in the world. There are certain reasons for that as well: immersive gameplay, fascinating story-telling, unique game mechanics, and many more. But one reason that stands out of all is the continued effort by the developers to make the game better on the basis of the feedback from the game’s loyal player base.

Recently, Square Enix, the developing company behind this iconic franchise, took a step to hear from the players of Final Fantasy XVI on how the company can deliver a better gameplay experience. Let’s dive into the article and explore this initiative from Square Enix.

Seeking Player Input with a Japanese Twist

The most recent installment of this legendary 26-year-old RPG series, Final Fantasy XVI, has been released on June 22, 2023, on PlayStation 5. The world of Final Fantasy is expanding, and Square Enix is keen to hear from the fans about their future desires for the game.

That’s why, to engage directly with Japanese fans, the company has released a questionnaire on Reddit. This questionnaire aims to gather feedback from the Japanese fanbase of Final Fantasy on future content and potential updates for the JRPG. This survey will be pivotal to the company’s post-launch plans.

Although if you are outside of Japan, you can’t access the survey, as it is right now only limited to Japanese fans. If you want to access it outside Japan, you will need a VPN, and if you succeed in accessing that, you will have to write the feedback in Japanese.

The Quest for Meaningful Updates

After the game’s launch, it became an overnight success, maintaining the legacy of its predecessors. And with that, everyone thought there would be a DLC or major update announcement soon. But Square Enix dropped the idea of a DLC initially. But this recent survey is surely a teaser of what lies ahead for Final Fantasy XVI—a DLC or a major update.

Even Final Fantasy XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida has expressed his interest in a DLC launch centered around fan-favorite character Cid. Yoshida says about Cid: “He is such an interesting character with his complex life and background story.”

Cid has become a popular character amongst Final Fantasy XVI fans not just because of his Yorkshire accent but also because of famous British actor Ralph Ineson’s brilliant voice acting behind Cid.
