Final Fantasy XVI Will Be Darker And More Mature, Says Producer - Kotaku

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida said in recent interviews that the latest entry in the long-running JRPG series will tackle “more mature” themes than its predecessors.

Yesterday, Yoshida finally addressed the game’s mature rating in an interview with GameSpot, saying that he wanted to explore a “clash of ideals” and the question of whether or not people should follow their destiny.

“This is not because we simply wanted to make the game more violent or the game more explicit, this is because we felt it was necessary to allow us to explore those more mature themes that the game tackles.” In a separate interview with the Washington Post, the producer mentioned that FFXVI is “not going to be a happy tale.”.
