Finally. After over a year of waiting, FINAL FANTASY XVI is now confirmed to be releasing on PC on September 17. If you want to see how well it will work with Proton on Desktop Linux or Steam Deck, there's a demo available right now too.

More about it:

The first fully fledged Action RPG in the mainline Final Fantasy series.

An epic dark fantasy world where the fate of the land is decided by the mighty Eikons and the Dominants who wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title “First Shield of Rosaria” and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the dominant of the Phoenix. Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.

Titanic Clashes - When rival Dominants come head to head, epic battles between their Eikons ensue!

Eikonic Action - Clive utilizes the powers of multiple Eikons in breakneck battle!

This makes no sense. Why not September 16?

From searching the net

QuoteIGN - 2022, Nov 7 The highly anticipated Final Fantasy XVI has seemingly been confirmed to be an exclusive PlayStation 5 game for at least six months.

Sooooo this __was__ a PS5 Console Exclusive that is now coming to Steam/PC 2024, Sep 17?

Previously I would be put off by Square Enix with their EGS exclusive missteps. (Still haven't bought most of those games years after coming to Steam __late__)

Next check is DRM. Which on checking the Steam page I see it has { Denuvo Anti-tamper } -- that was enough to stop me from buying Resident Evil 4 despite having a 97% 91k score.

That video thumbnail is terrible advertising.

We'll see how this shapes up, my hype-o-meter is around 50% at "Yeah maybe" like that moving you know you have to go to the cinema to see and you're hopes are meh -__-

I mean, a lot of these big devs that do console exclusivity at some point will have to maximize their profits... Not even surprised if it has DRM; what can we expect?

Personally, I don't think there has been a good Final Fantasy since X-2, and that was only fun because it piggybacked on the world created by X. Hard pass.

Most game release happen on Tuesday/Thursday and it's been this way for a long time now

Looks like they were serious when a financial report from SE talked about ending exclusivities, no EGS timed exclusivity for this one.

It doesn't matter. They are not related to each other. Just pick one, that appeals to you if you are into those games.
Personally I played FF XVI on PS5. It's a good game but for me personally behind every most older FF games I played so far.
My preference so far: X > IX > VII > VI > XVI > I > II

My number of played FF games is still ..... 0! And this has denuvNO, so guess the total will remain like that for a while longer.
