During an interview with Famitsu, producer Naoki Yoshida explained that Final Fantasy 16 it will be voted to action rather than using a turn-based combat system like the old chapters of the series, to make it more appealing to younger players.
“I’m from a generation that grew up with turn-based RPGs. I think I understand how interesting and immersive they can be,” said Yoshida. “On the other hand, in the last decade or so, I have seen a number of opinions stating” I don’t understand the fun of selecting commands in video games to perform actions. “This opinion is only spreading, particularly among the younger audience, who generally don’t play role-playing games. ”
Yoshida later explained that the evolution of technology and graphics in video games has led RPGs to introduce increasingly action-oriented mechanics.
“For several generations of consoles, all character actions can be performed in real time. Actions such as” pull the trigger and your character will shoot a gun “and” press the button and your character will swing a sword ” now they can be easily expressed without going through a system based on a command system. It is now a custom among gamers younger than me to love these games. Consequently it no longer makes sense to opt for a command prompt, to make a decision during a fight. ”
“As I said, I think I know the fun of turn-based RPGs well and I want to keep developing them, but I’ve been thinking about the sales of Final Fantasy 16 and the impact we have to make.”
