Other sites are also reporting the same news. I guess this could still mean almost anything in terms of a release date, but it's still something more tangible than has been reported in some time, so it might not be all doom and gloom, '2024 release' after all.

"Final stages of development" in April, probably an initial release date provided in summer, then the delay that comes to almost every game after a release date is given.

We'll see this game in March 2023.

i'm cautiously optimistic that the FF team is actually re-dedicated to creating a coherent narrative

i'll be paying attention to this for sure, even though i normally prefer FF settings that trend further towards alien or alternate present fantasy (as opposed to medieval/elemental crystal fantasy)

i've always been surprised by how late stories are mapped out during game development, but i still have to assume it's gonna be another year before it comes out

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Depends what they consider a 'stage'.

"Okay, we've designed the characters, designed their outfits, designed their other outfits, added extra belts and zippers to all their outfits, designed a world, added crossover promos and written a story, a backstory, and sidestories... now the last step is to make the game"

The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil

FFXV came out six years ago. I wonder when work on this started?

that's the Nomura process not the YoshiP process

when it was first announced in 2020, Jason Schreier said on his podcast it had already been in development for 4 years at that point.

Can't work on your FFXVI. There's XIV Housing to solve.

The line between Producer and Director in Japan is very blurred. Considering the content of the game's storyline, and the fact that Yoshi-P has been the one to speak about the game in every press release I've read, I imagine he's had a bigger hand in its development than any single other person.

YoshiP has the cleanest name in the entire industry right now, doesn't matter if he's producer or director he's not letting this thing come out weak with his face on it.

The man won't even let us have a screenshot until he's 100% confident.

YoshiP is both Producer and Director on FFXIV, while he's just Producer on XVI. Do you think he has as major a role in XVI as he does in XIV?

We got a whole damn trailer already. If he was confident in that, I don't know what to say.

Depends. Yoshi-P has somewhat less of a hand in XIV now that he isn't salvaging it and has other people he can trust to help steer its development. Early Yoshi-P was more hands-on with FF14 than most game directors are with their projects, because he had to be. In terms of influence on each project, right now it probably goes like Early FFXIV>Current FFXIV>=FFXVI

How'd SE force him to put out the announcement trailer but not the 6 months ago trailer?

I'd guess contractual obligations for the PS5 reveal event.

The trailer did nothing for me so I'm wary on this, even if it wasn't exactly what the team wanted to put out. It looked like a very standard medieval western fantasy style, which is absolutely not what I come to FF for!

Don't worry, it'll be an Epic Store exclusive too after a year goes by.
