Final Fantasy 16: Not a turn-based combat system to appeal to younger audiences
As was announced a few weeks ago, Final Fantasy 16 no open world to get. Well decided Square Enix also against a turn-based combat systemwhich has actually defined the “Final Fantasy” series since its inception.
Final Fantasy 16 is designed to appeal to the younger generation
Revealed in an interview with the Japanese magazine Famitsu Producer Naoki Yoshidathat the new “Final Fantasy” should primarily attract a younger audience that Action Combat usually more devoted is than the turn-based battles.
“I come from a generation that grew up playing command and turn-based RPGs. I think I see how interesting and compelling this can be. On the other hand, over the past ten years, I’ve seen a fair number of opinions that say, ‘I don’t see what’s appealing about choosing commands in video games.’ This opinion continues to grow, especially among younger audiences who don’t typically play RPGs.”
In addition, the technology is now so advanced that more complex combat systems possible are. Actions can be executed in real time without having to use a command system.
“It’s now common for gamers younger than me to love such games. As a result, going through a prompt like ‘Battle’ to make a decision mid-fight doesn’t seem to make sense.”
In doing so, he emphasizes that none of the systems better or worse be than the other.
“It’s not about what’s good or bad, but there is a difference based on the player’s preferences and age.”
Final Fantasy 16 will be dark and not child’s play – USK 18 in sight?
15 years for an open world?
Also on the Renunciation of an open world the producer went into more detail. The main reason for this decision is above all development time been.
“If we had a development time of about 15 years, maybe we would have had the opportunity to challenge ourselves with an open world. It’s almost impossible in terms of time and cost to create a global story in an open world.”
Last month, Yoshida also confirmed that FF16 almost done be. Only the finishing touches remain, whereby the Release in summer 2023 is very close. “Final Fantasy 16” will initially be exclusively for Playstation 5 appear.
