Famitsu revealed its August 3 magazine issue will contain a special feature for Final Fantasy XVI and singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu, the talented mind behind the game’s theme song. The new issue will launch on Thursday, June 20 in Japan.
As previously discussed, the theme song of Final Fantasy XVI is “Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing” by Kenshi Yonezu. Yonezu’s most recent work includes the opening song “Kick Back” for the highly popular anime, Chainsaw Man. Yonezu is a lifelong fan of Final Fantasy and producer Naoki Yoshida is a fan of Yonezu’s music, so the two linked up during development of Final Fantasy XVI.
Famitsu Features Final Fantasy XVI and Pikmin 4
The August 3, 2023 issue of Famitsu delves into the production of “Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing” for Final Fantasy XVI in an interview with Yonezu. The renowned singer-songwriter will also discuss his gaming history and thoughts on the current industry. This new issue should be an insightful read for fans wanting to know more about Yonezu’s gaming preferences and the creation of Final Fantasy XVI’s theme song.
Further, the August 3 Famitsu issue includes a 20-page special feature for the release of Pikmin 4. Readers may learn more about Pikmin, the world of Pikmin 4, gameplay mechanics, and much more in the new issue. The feature should be similar to the Pikmin 4 “Field Report” found in Nintendo’s Summer 2023 Magazine.
