Final Fantasy XVI is going to be one of the games of the year<\/strong>. I’m not saying it, the forecasts say it; those who have been able to try it already say that, although the genre is quite different from previous titles in the saga as it is much more action-oriented, it is one of the best FF they have tried<\/strong>. And considering that the remake of Final Fantasy VII was released relatively recently, that’s saying a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n

Square Enix has prepared the release of Final Fantasy XVI<\/a> for June 22, 2023<\/strong>, and as far as we know it will be a much more adult and complex approach to the saga. Its story will be deeper than ever, and its world a medieval place full of darkness in which the protagonist will have to make his way. But what works have inspired this game?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Evangelion to The Dark Knight: all the references of FFXVI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Well-Played<\/a>, the developers of Final Fantasy XVI have spoken openly about which titles have served as reference to design the video game<\/strong>. Game of Thrones<\/a><\/strong> and House of the Dragon<\/strong> (HBO Max<\/a>) as well as all the books of Song of Ice and Fire, are the main inspirations they have taken.<\/p>\n\n\n

This has been evidenced by Naoki Yoshida, the game’s producer. But this is not the only reference. Director Hiroshi Takai also added that God of War<\/a><\/strong>, both aesthetically and in terms of mechanics, has been a great inspiration for the game<\/strong>. And voice actor Ry\u014dta Suzuki has also explained that he has relied on movies like Blade and John Wick<\/a> to bring his character to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other references Yoshida has cited are Godzilla, Ultraman and Evangelion<\/strong>. In addition, on a narrative level, he explained that all his works have something of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight<\/a>, as they are his favorite films. He has also explained that the relationship between light and darkness of Joker and Batman has been key to the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
