Final Fantasy XVI it will not be an open world game. This has been confirmed in an interview by his producer, Naoki Yoshida. Instead we will find scenarios of different sizes, levels or areas, all of them connected in the manner of Monster Hunter or Pokémon Legends: Arceus. “We have decided to avoid an open world design that limits us to a single space, a single large environmentYoshida declared.Instead we have focused on several separate areas that offer a greater sense of scale and a more global concept“.
Yoshida assures that they have “inspired by many other recent RPGs that are open world and triple A“. They want Final Fantasy XVI to be up to the times and that is able to connect with any generation. “We have discovered that many young people have never played Final Fantasy. Some have no interest in the saga. We want to create a game that excites and resonates not only with our fans, but also with those young people who have never tried a Final Fantasy“.

Final Fantasy XVI: map and history
Final Fantasy XVI takes us to the the world of Valisthea, of which we already have a huge confirmed map. Valisthea is the region of the Crystals, rare precise stones whose influence allows the locals master the magic and enjoy a prosperous and long life. Or at least that is how it had been until now, when great developed powers began to emerge that yearned to monopolize that power and make it their exclusive use and enjoyment. Specific we will travel through six nations: Grand Duchy of Rosaria, Holy Empire of Sanbreque, Kingdom of Waloed, Republic of Dhalmekia, Crystal Domain and Kingdom of Iron.
These houses of which we speak will undertake the search for the so-called Dominants, the people who best channel these crystals and who possess unique abilities, such as ability to summon different beasts known as eikon. Kingdoms will feast (or hunt) Dominants to use to their advantage, so it will take time to unleash a war for the future of Valisthea. And in the middle of it all, we, Clive Rosefield, a high-ranking mercenary who must decide what role he plays in this. If he gathers and protects the Dominants, or if he gains control of the Crystals and subjugates himself to the world.
