Kujiraoka says, speaking to Famitsu and according to an English translation by Dexerto, that Final Fantasy 16 The Rising Tide was developed with the idea of ”wanting to venture into a brighter and more colorful world“.
Kujiraoka has stated that his goal is to “expand the player experience” incorporating everything that makes up the world of Valisthea, both in terms of locations, side quests and combat. “Above all, I wanted to create and show the part where a new story begins, in a new place, under a blue sky “.
Where does the story of The Rising Tide begin?
Kujiraoka warns players that the new DLC it will not pick up directly from the end of the main story of Final Fantasy 16. “The story was designed to give a sense of hope,” he says. “Even if the crystal disappears from Valisthea, her people will surely be able to recover.”
