LOGOS: The World of FINAL FANTASY® XVI

The years we spent working on FINAL FANTASY® XVI were some of the most challenging and fruitful of our professional careers. Being involved in every stage of the creative process from scripting to recording, there was always some new skill to learn, approach to refine, or problem to solve, right up until the release of the game’s final expansion, The Rising Tide. And when at last it was over, the mixture of pride and relief we felt at the completion of our task was tinged with a sadness almost akin to loss. No more would we see our friends in the cast on a daily basis. No more would we bring their characters to life. Our time in Valisthea had come to an end.

Or so we thought. A few months later, quite out of the blue, our old mate Michael-Christopher Koji Fox got in touch with word of a new project: a FINAL FANTASY XVI lore book written from the perspective of the story’s own protagonists. In English. With us. And the cast. All with Maehiro-san’s blessing.

Thus began another labour of love, the result of which is LOGOS: The World of FINAL FANTASY XVI. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed writing it. It taught us that we will never truly leave Valisthea behind…as long as we wish to return.
