The Japanese publisher tries to be tricky, but they failed.

When it comes to Final Fantasy, the question is not if there will be a new episode but when it will arrive. (Even if XV was a difficult process, as it originally was announced in 2006 as Final Fantasy Versus XIII…) And since Final Fantasy XV launched almost five years ago, the fans of the series are justified to hear news about the next chapter (and Final Fantasy VII Remake’s first part isn’t entirely a new game, is it…?) – there are signs of things happening, though.

Twisted Voxel has discovered a Final Fantasy XVI Twitter account with the FF16_JP handle. The account was registered in August, and it has no other details or tweets on it at the moment. However, the email address tied to the account is suspicious: fa*******@s**********.*** – the part after the @ is perfect to fit square-enix.com into it. We can’t recall a fitting email provider that starts with S – SquirrelMail is longer…

We previously wrote about rumours of Final Fantasy XVI existing: „XVI is real. It was supposed to get announced in June’s event. It’s supposedly closer than most people would think. It has some kind of PlayStation 5 exclusivity (it was vague back then but it seems to be full timed exclusivity now). And I have no idea why they haven’t announced it yet.”

And we still stick by what we said before – Final Fantasy XVI might have been announced, and it’s been in front of us for nearly three months now. Square Enix might be trying to fool us with Project Athia, which is even confirmed to be a working title for the game that looks a lot like a Final Fantasy game…

Square Enix is probably going to deny everything.
