The video goes into how the land of Valisthea has changed in the 1500 years since the mysterious forebears fell and what that has to do with the Mothercrystals. Portions of gameplay are also briefly seen, promising some impressively large-scale battles.

“As the game edges closer to completion, the team has turned its full attention to debugging and final adjustments,” Hiroshi Takai, Director of Final Fantasy XVI said. “Now that things are starting to come together, the game is sizing up to be something truly special.”

“I’m happy to announce that our newest trailer — Ambition — is now live,” Naoki Yoshida, producer for the game, stated. “Rather than focusing on action as we did in our last reveal, this time we wanted to give the world a more in-depth look at Final Fantasy XVI‘s lore and its rich cast of characters — with the Dominants front and center.”
