With the success of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, there were always going to be some features that carry over to the next mainline release. Final Fantasy 16 is one of the most anticipated titles of 2023, a year that seems to be shaping up beautifully for game releases, and will hopefully put its style to good use with a thrilling story and memorable characters. Producer Naoki Yoshida recently confirmed it will not feature an open world though, suggesting the limitation of a single open space would do the narrative no favors, and instead would be best served with a handful of smaller areas.
