Final Fantasy XVI is out on Xbox right now, and FF7 Remake is coming too
- Final Fantasy XVI is now available on Xbox, offering kaiju monster battles, voice acting, and a story that’s “ho-hum” according to Square Enix.
- The game comes with two story DLCs, The Rising Tide and Echoes of the Fallen, which add more story and a new Eikon called Leviathan.
- Xbox has partnered with Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy XIV to the platform last year, and now it’s also bringing the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade this winter.
- The Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the first entry in the FF7 reimagination project combined with the Yuffie-centric DLC, offering a new take on the classic game.
- Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade are part of Square Enix’s efforts to expand their games beyond the PlayStation ecosystem, following their successful release of Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox last year.
You can play the latest entry in the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XVI, on Xbox right now. Shadow dropped during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, players will be able to experience FFXVI’s slick-ass kaiju monster battles, incredible voice acting, and ho-hum story (because, hey, you can’t expect Square Enix to be perfect at everything). In addition to the base game, players will also get access to FFXVI’s two story DLCs The Rising Tide and Echoes of the Fallen which adds more story and a new Eikon (the game’s version of summons) Leviathan.
But that’s not all as the partnership between Xbox and Square Enix continues apace. Last year, Xbox brought the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV to the system. Later it was rumored, due to Square Enix’s stated desire to expand their games beyond the PlayStation ecosystem, that it would bring the Final Fantasy VII remake project to Xbox as well. That rumor has been proven true. The absurdly titled Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which is the first entry in the FF7 reimagination project combined with the Yuffie-centric DLC, is coming to Xbox this winter.
