In addition to these major developments, the game has received update 1.10, introducing new customization options. Among these features is a weapon skin option, allowing players to change the appearance of their equipped weapon while keeping its stats intact.

While the PC version and story expansions for Final Fantasy 16 remain shrouded in mystery, Yoshida assured fans that more information would be unveiled before the year’s end. He acknowledged player feedback, stating, “One thing that came through particularly strongly was how people wanted to see more of Valisthea’s story and spend more time with her inhabitants. To accommodate, the development team has started work on two installments of paid DLC.”
Square Enix’s initial announcement in 2020 had hinted at a PC version, but it was swiftly removed from trailers, with the game being touted as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Now, the PC version is officially confirmed, as Yoshida declared, “Allow me to take this opportunity to officially announce that development on a PC version is currently underway. I hope to be able to give you more information on both the upcoming DLC and the PC version before the end of the year, so please stay tuned.”
Final Fantasy fans have plenty to look forward to, with new content and platforms expanding the epic adventure of Final Fantasy 16.
