The currently still under development Final Fantasy XVI / Final Fantasy 16 not only promises a main character, but also several different characters. In Final Fantasy 16 everything revolves around the Dominants, their powerful giant-esper and the different realms that benefit from enormous crystals and their power.
The developers gave us new information about the playable characters. So far it has only been said that you could play Clive. But now the surprise. Director Shintaro Takai, Producer Naoki Yoshida and Director Kazutoyo Mehiro explained in an interview that at the beginning of the story Clive is not played at all.
This is justified by the character's too strong involvement in other events in the game world. This can be compared with Reks in Final Fantasy 12. Back then, you could only play Reks in the prologue before Vaan became the actual protagonist. But so far it has not been revealed who the new characters will be.
First speculation is running on the different Dominants. The game is scheduled to be released in 2023. We'll keep you up to date.
