Final Fantasy XVI – State of Play Presentation

Sony Interactive Entertainment, in cooperation with Square Enix, has published a 25-minute State of Play presentation focused on Final Fantasy XVI.

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida announced that the game’s main theme, “Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing,” was written and performed by recording artist Kenshi Yonezu.

“Words cannot express the impact Final Fantasy has had on my life,” Yonezu said in a message. “I never thought or imagined that I would ever receive an opportunity like this. I wrote this song especially for this game. Thank you.”

Yoshida added, “When I found out that we’d be able to work with Yonezu-san, I was not only surprised, but overjoyed. I’m a big fan of Yonezu’s work, and I know that he has a passion for creating music that resonates across the generations, so I was sure that he’d be able to capture the world, the story, and the themes of Final Fantasy XVI. He’s not only an amazing artist, but also an avid gamer and Final Fantasy fan, so please look forward to hearing his theme song!”
