Final Fantasy's Future: No Clear-Cut Path Between Turn-Based and Action RPGs
Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy XVI and XIV, confirms Square Enix's commitment to releasing future mainline Final Fantasy games on multiple platforms, including Xbox and PC. He discusses the franchise's evolving combat systems, indicating that the decision to use turn-based or action-based gameplay will depend on the creative direction of future directors, leaving the possibility open for both styles. Fans are hopeful for a return to turn-based combat, which historically defined the series' popularity, especially given recent successes of turn-based titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and the Pixel Remaster.
