Final Fantasy 16 is near the end of development, says producer

techradar.com:

We've not seen much about Final Fantasy 16 (XVI) since the initial reveal but according to producer Naoki Yoshida, everything seems to be progressing well. Speaking in a recent interview, he confirmed development «is in the final stretch.» 

Coming from an unusual source, Yoshida made this latest reveal in Uniqlo’s free in-store UT magazine, a Japanese clothing store currently doing a Final Fantasy collaboration. As spotted by Twitter user alverich_ff14 (translated by VGC), Yoshida said “Currently, development on the latest title, Final Fantasy 16, is in the final stretch.” 

Yoshida advises this won't be the same as MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, explaining «As a single-player game, Final Fantasy 16 aims to unify the story and gameplay experience. Unlike online games, which portrays multiple players at once, Final Fantasy 16 has an individual focus, which makes the story more immersive. And I think the story has become quite deep.» 

Continuing on, Yoshida also expressed his hopes that it'll appeal to the «adults who have grown up, understand the rules of society, and drifted away from Final Fantasy, thinking ‘the real world isn’t as easy as a video game’ can remember the enthusiasm they had back then. That’s what we’re keeping in mind as we make this game.”
