Takeo Kujiraoka: Final Fantasy XVI Successfully Attracts Young Players
Speaking with Push Square, Takeo Kujiraoka said that Final Fantasy XVI ‘s action-based combat has helped Square Enix to appeal to a wider market.
In recent years, players of the Final Fantasy franchise have tended to skew towards a higher age range. However, this time there are survey results showing that more people in their teens and 20s are playing Final Fantasy XVI.
I think this shows that, to some extent, we have achieved one of our original goals – to get players of all ages to play the latest Final Fantasy game.
This doesn’t mean that all future Final Fantasy games will take the same direction as Final Fantasy XVI, but I think it does mean that we’ve been able to bring in new players and open up new possibilities for the development teams that will be working on future games.

In March 2024, producer Naoki Yoshida told Noisy Pixel that his team was thinking of porting Final Fantasy XVI to other platforms after the PC version was completed.
Final Fantasy XVI is already available on PS5. The PC version will be released at a later date.
