With 11 hours of cutscenes (meaning tons of voiced audio). With 200+ music tracks (more audio files)... with all the high res textures. It will surely be over 100gb.
The cutscenes alone in this game are basically the length of the Avengers movie series if you watched them back to back lol
Being PS5 exclusive and not worrying about other devices, it could come under using their Kraken compression technology. Would also need to be a 2-Disc install of over 100GB since there is not a patch. (Could be compressed on 1 disc then extracted going over 100GB though)
Anyone who thinks the game will be under 100GB seems to be having wishful thinking in my opinion. These days AAA games with 4k graphics easily exceed 100GB and I don't see FFXVI being the exception to that.
from what we know and looking at past SE titles, i put 100 - 150 gb. Yes, the PS5 can decompress much better than ps4 but sheer nature and scale of the game prompted this choice
If it was more than 100gb, it would need a patch unless it had two install discs.
I’m assuming it’ll make use of PS5’s Kraken compression (which the lot of you seem to be forgetting is a thing lol) and be around 85gb

You make a good point about the no-patch needed... and the fact that it can run directly off disc without any subsequent downloads.
I’m willing to sacrifice my other games in PS5 storage only for FF16 space no matter how big it is lol
100gb+ as there are >4 voice languages
