Following years of anticipation and excitement, Final Fantasy XVI is finally out in the wild, being enjoyed by millions of PlayStation fans. The team behind the FFXVI – Square Enix’s Creative Business Unit 3 – have now claimed that not only are they not done with FFXVI, but they hope to work on more Final Fantasy games in the future.

As part of a Final Fantasy XVI meet and greet event in Malaysia, Creative Business Unit 3 head Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) spoke briefly on the team’s future plans for Final Fantasy, revealing that they are not yet done with Final Fantasy XVI – hinting at the possibility of a PC port or DLC sometime down the line.

Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that Yoshi-P suggested that Creative Business Unit 3 (CBU3) could and would want to work on future mainline Final Fantasy titles.

For the uninitiated, Square Enix’s internal developers are split up into 4 core teams:

• Creative Business Unit 1
  • Focuses on Final Fantasy single-player titles, spin-offs, SaGa and Kingdom Hearts
• Creative Business Unit 2
  • Focuses on the Dragon Quest, Nier, Octopath Traveler and Bravely series, as well as arcade games
• Creative Business Unit 3
  • Focused primarily on the Final Fantasy MMOs – up until FFXVI
• Creative Business Unit 4
  • Focuses on the Mana series, along with co-development and production of remasters and ports

Given the reception of Final Fantasy XVI and its early sales success, it would not be surprising to see Creative Business Unit 3 given full reign of all mainline Final Fantasy titles moving forward. We will have to wait and see.
