The Status of the PC Version

Producer Naoki Yoshida has been the guiding force behind Final Fantasy XVI’s development. In a recent update, Yoshida shared some insights into where the PC version stands.

“We’re in the last stages of optimization right now,” Yoshida said through a translator. “We’re focusing on system requirements and specifications to ensure the game runs smoothly on PC. Naturally, the PC specifications are likely to be somewhat high, but we’re committed to delivering a top-tier experience.”

For those eagerly awaiting the PC version, Yoshida’s comments are both reassuring and a reminder that quality takes time. While there’s no set date yet, fans can take comfort in knowing that the development is moving forward smoothly.

The release date for the PC version has been confirmed for September 17, 2024.

Modding Potential

One of the most exciting aspects of Final Fantasy XVI coming to PC is the potential for community-driven content through mods. The modding community has always been vibrant for Final Fantasy titles, and FFXVI is expected to be no different. From visual enhancements to gameplay tweaks, mods could add significant replayability and customization options for players.

A Word to the Wise: Be Prepared for High PC Requirements

While the exact specifications for the PC version of Final Fantasy XVI have yet to be announced, Yoshida hinted that they will likely be on the higher end. This comes as no surprise, given the game’s impressive graphics and complex gameplay mechanics. Players should be prepared to have a powerful setup to fully enjoy what FFXVI has to offer on PC.

I’m a gamer, writer, and philosophy enthusiast with a love for traveling and all things epic. I grew up a PC gamer, habituated to the desktop. I switched between MMORPGs, FPS games, and RPGs. Nowadays, I dabble on an Xbox BUT my true love is my Nintendo Switch.

I can get lost listening to breakcore and DnB while playing Bayonetta and Xenoblade Chronicles. I’ve got major nostalgia syndrome and my favorite genres are sci-fi and fantasy— it’s a peak game for me if they blend and have BOTH genres in one game. When I’m not exploring gaming worlds, I’m doing the same thing but offline.
