Square Enix's upcoming action RPG, which releases next year for PS5, does take inspiration from "recent triple-A open-world RPGs."
Though there will be "Easter eggs", fans won't find as many "tributes" to the previous games as in Final Fantasy 14, says producer Naoki Yoshida.
Producer Naoki Yoshida also teases a "comprehensive support system in place for players who aren’t too confident with action games."
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 remains in second place, while Splatoon 3 leapfrogs both RPGs to jump straight to the top spot.
Square Enix has started pulling back the curtain on its upcoming PS5 RPG- here's everything new that we've learned about it.
Two major upcoming RPGs are on top of the weekly charts, but once again, it's Final Fantasy 16 that takes the pole position.
The Final Fantasy 16 website has been updated, adding a lot of new details about the world, its magic, and its characters.
Square Enix has revealed who the leads in Final Fantasy 16's development team are, including its main director, creative director, and more.
Square Enix also confirms that the highly anticipated PS5 RPG has "entered the final leg of development", with the development team "focusing on polish."
If even half of these happen, it will be a great show!
The PS5 RPG maintains a healthy lead on top of the weekly charts, but the rest of the top 10 is once again dominated by upcoming Switch titles.
With so many showcases happening in June, there are bound to be a number of big reveals next month. Take a look at 15 of them here.
Square Enix's upcoming RPG has topped the weekly charts yet again, maintaining a healthy lead over Splatoon 3, the game placed second.
Based on whether Square Enix can get Final Fantasy 16 ready for this year, it may push Forspoken back again, as per XboxEra's Nick Baker.
Though the PS5 exclusive RPG takes the top spot, every other game in the top 10 is an upcoming Nintendo Switch release.
Producer Naoki Yoshida says Final Fantasy 16's new trailer had to be internally delayed, but will be dropping soon, with the game's development itself also nearly finished.
Final Fantasy 16 remains unmoved on top of the most wanted charts, while the PS5 version of Pragmata re-enters the top 10.
Producer Naoki Yoshida reportedly said in the recent Uniqlo magazine that the story has become one with "quite a lot of depth."
Meanwhile, Pokemon Scarlet and Violent come in at the tail end of what's a very Nintendo Switch-dominated top 10.
When the PS5 RPG finally launches, hopefully, it'll avoid these pitfalls.
