| DEVELOPMENT HISTORY |
Final Fantasy XVI is a long-awaited project from Square Enix, developed by the Creative Business Unit III team led by Naoki Yoshida. The game's development began after the completion of Final Fantasy XIV: ShadowbringersThe team aimed to create a new, unique part of the franchise that would return to its roots, but at the same time bring new ideas and technologies.
Unlike previous games in the series, Final Fantasy XVI focuses on a dark and mature theme inspired by medieval Europe. The game immerses players in the world of Valistea, where magical crystals and Eikons play a central role in political and military conflicts. To develop the story and the game world, the team turned to experienced writers and artists to create a deep and immersive story.
One of the key development goals was to ensure high performance and graphical quality on next-gen consoles, which led to the use of an updated version of the engine previously used for Final Fantasy XIVDuring the development process, the team also took into account the mistakes made during the creation Final Fantasy XV, and sought to avoid problems with unfinished elements of the game.
| GRAPHICS |
Graphics in Final Fantasy XVI reached a new level thanks to the use of a powerful engine specially adapted for this game. The engine allows for the creation of incredibly detailed worlds and characters, including lighting effects, shadows and high-resolution textures. The game uses Bonamik technology, which is responsible for the realistic simulation of clothing and hair movements, which adds an additional level of realism to the characters.
Particular attention has been paid to the creation of the world of Valistea, where each location has unique visual features that correspond to its history and culture. The system of global illumination and dynamic shadows allows to convey the atmosphere of the medieval world with its harsh landscapes and majestic castles.
In addition, to achieve maximum graphics quality, the developers used photogrammetry and scanning methods of real objects, which allowed them to create textures and materials with a high degree of detail. This is especially noticeable in the character animations, where every detail, from facial expressions to body movements, is worked out to the smallest detail.
| GAME ENGINE |
Final Fantasy XVI uses an advanced version of the engine based on technologies used in Final Fantasy XIV. This engine has been significantly upgraded to provide high performance and graphics quality on PlayStation 5. The engine allows you to create large-scale and detailed worlds with minimal time and effort thanks to a powerful library of textures and models that is available to the entire development team.
One of the key features of the engine is the character face and hair creation system, which uses photogrammetry to capture real models and use them in the game. This allowed the characters to be created with a high degree of realism, while maintaining the recognizable style of the series. final Fantasy.
В Final Fantasy XVI It also uses advanced rendering techniques, including ray tracing, which provides realistic reflections and lighting. These technologies create visually stunning scenes that immerse the player in the game world to the fullest.
By using such advanced technology and attention to detail, Final Fantasy XVI sets a new standard in the role-playing game genre, offering players not only a gripping storyline, but also top-notch visual enjoyment.
