A new Final Fantasy 16 trailer was just revealed at PAX East 2023, giving players a glimpse at the world of Valisthea. The Final Fantasy 16 trailer was shown as part of a panel hosted by FF16 Producer Naoki Yoshida and Localization Director Michael-Christopher Koji Fox.

The trailer was uploaded by the official FF16 Twitter account, which you can find below:

As mentioned last year, Final Fantasy 16 will not be open-world. Instead, the FF16 team opted to go for a more area-based design approach. Despite this, the areas that players can explore are quite wide in scope, and as shown in the trailer, they’re incredibly varied, with forests, fields, jungles, and much more. Players will also be able to explore these areas with the help of a chocobo, a bird-like creature that’s common in Final Fantasy games as mounts. 

Those who are a fan of composer Masayoshi Soken’s work will also be treated to more of the game’s soundtrack in the trailer, with music to complement the vistas and scenes shown in the 2-minute video. Soken is behind the soundtrack of FF16 as well as a few other games, including much of Final Fantasy 14’s soundtrack since its first expansion, Heavensward.

Final Fantasy 16 launches this June 22 exclusively on PS5, and preorders for the game are available now through the PS Store page.
