Both Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV endured varying degrees of development hell, with the projects being rebooted multiple times between them.  And given its current success, it&#8217;s easy to forget that Final Fantasy XIV had to be completely remade before becoming the juggernaut MMO that we know today.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Square Enix has been saddled with a reputation for struggling to produce its blockbusters efficiently &#8211; but Final Fantasy XVI looks set to reverse that trend.  That said, we&#8217;ve still got at least a year until XVI actually comes out.  Hopefully things proceed smoothly from now on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script type=\"43748b00fc69eeaad7a308d2-text\/javascript\">dgpConsent.can('targeting',function () { !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init', '687986255298009'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); });<\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Fantasy XVI director Hiroshi Takai has confirmed that the game is &#8220;fully playable from start to finish&#8221; and that the development team is now focused on &#8220;optimization and brush-up&#8221; ahead of the summer 2023 release window.
