The reveal trailer showcased the game's fantasy elements and combat, and it looks like it'll be a next-gen only title.</p><p>You play as a bodyguard to Joshua, the son of the Archduke of the region the game is set in. There seems to be some sort of blight taking hold of the land around you, bringing with it all sorts of dangers. Combat was shown off, with many nods to both <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/final-fantasy-xv/">Final Fantasy XV</a> and the more recent<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/final-fantasy-vii-remake/"> Final Fantasy VII Remake</a>, which released on PS4 earlier this year.</p><p>The "fantasy" in this particular Final Fantasy looks like it's inspired by something akin to Game of Thrones, meaning that it looks quite different from past games in the series. Note the medieval-style architecture and all the talk of fealty and oaths in the trailer. There's also quite a bit of one-on-one combat in the trailer--it remains to be seen what FF XVI's party system will look like.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-16-announced-at-ps5-showcase-event/1100-6482263/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
