Ahead of Final Fantasy 16's launch, Square Enix has released a steady stream of info about the game. We know about how long it will take to complete--80 hours--and we know it's a dark fantasy setting with action-based battles, as opposed to turn-based combat, featuring huge Eikons. FF16 producer Naoki Yoshida said the team went for a more action-oriented direction in order to appeal to younger players.
