Square Enix’s announcement earlier this yr, which revealed that Final Fantasy XIV is launching on Xbox Series X|S in 2024, was met with pleasure from the Xbox neighborhood, nevertheless it seems to be like we might have one thing else to be excited for if the sport’s director will get his method. The Final Fantasy Fan Festival held in London over the weekend noticed Final Fantasy XIV director, Naoki Yoshida, say that he would “be so joyful to see some type of collaboration with Diablo.”

You may by no means have thought of mixing the blood-spilling violence of Diablo IV with the tamer world of Final Fantasy XIV’s Hydaelyn, however Naoki Yoshida has. “I’ve talked about this prior to now, however I’m an enormous Blizzard fan. So, I imply, if we might simply make it work then I might be so joyful to see some type of collaboration with Diablo,” Yoshida stated in a press convention throughout Fan Festival 2023 (through PC Gamer).

Obviously, Diablo is way much less stringent than Final Fantasy 14 with regards to portraying gore and horror parts, so the issue of implementing such a crossover is not misplaced on Yoshida. “Diablo has fairly, like, I might say hardcore graphics outlook by way of the world. So, , you see spikes right here and there. In phrases of the rankings, it is perhaps a bit tough”, Yoshida stated. “And in fact, then again, we do not actually need to disappoint followers of the franchise as properly. So yeah, it is a tough one.

We do not know the way a crossover between Diablo and Final Fantasy 14 would work both, however the concept is so wild that it wants exploring. We hope you are listening, Xbox!
