2023 Preview: Final Fantasy 16 looks set to upend the series' traditions.
Just three months after the release of Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix realised the launch had been disastrous and decided to task Yoshida – who had been acting director in the early stages of Dragon Quest X – with putting the trainwreck back on the tracks. Appointed as the game’s new post-launch director and producer, Yoshida guided his team through a complete revamp of the game, which then re-launched in 2013 as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
Yoshida has already conceded that some players will be unhappy with the combat, particularly Final Fantasy veterans for whom anything other than turn-based battles would be considered sacrilege. As he puts it though, this ain’t your daddy’s Final Fantasy , and that’s exactly the point.Comic Days “Of course, I don’t think we’ll be able to satisfy everyone’s demands, so I’ve told everyone on the team that the first thing we need to do is to make something we think is fun, and make sure it reaches the people who like it.”
Putting aside the fact that people of various ethnicities did in fact live in medieval Europe, there are some who feel that Yoshida’s answer is a bit of a cop-out in a game that allows you to summon demons, wind elementals and ice goddesses but for which person with dark skin would be breaking “narrative boundaries”.
