"Nobody said a word about a PC version," says Final Fantasy 16 producer

My “also available on PC” trailer is raising a lot of questions…

During a recentFinal Fantasy14 developer livestream, the subject ofFinal Fantasy 16’s PC port came up. “Nobody said a word about a PC version release,” said Yoshi P, the producer on both FFXIV and FFXVI. “Why is it like a PC version is releasing 6 months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5!” he said, laughing.

We’ve beenworking under the assumption that Final Fantasy 16 would come to PCafter a period of PlayStation 5 exclusivity, but in fairness, that’s because that’s what the Final Fantasy 16 trailers have said would happen.

The FF16reveal trailersays that it is “PlayStation console exclusive”, with an asterisk that says it is “also available on PC”. That seems pretty clear.

This all seems to explicitly or implicitly point at a PC release being on the way, even if there’s no guarantee of exactly when.

In fairness, Yoshi P made his comments with a jovial tone, and wrapped them up by saying, “Sorry, I went overboard. We did our best so please look forward to it.” But, well, it’s untrue that “nobody said a word about a PC version”, because Square Enix themselves did.
