You probably did not fail to notice when reading our articles that this weekend took place on Fan Festival of London 2023 dedicated to MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. A prestigious guest was present on site, namely the creator of the license, Hironobu Sakaguchiwho is now a gamer addicted to this online episode, for which he does not wish to create content, preferring to enjoy it like all the others Warriors of Light. During the “Welcome to Naoki!” panel. “, he answered many questions, including a particularly thorny one within the community, namely what makes a game a Final Fantasyapproaching the latest episode, FFXVIwhich will also invite itself into FFXIV time for collaboration.
Note that her response translated into French is as much based on the oral translation into English performed on stage by Aimi Tokutake as by Audrey’s written one. @aitaikimochi.
This is what I thought while playing Final Fantasy XVI and it comes from the perspective of someone who creates these different works. But I think thatwith Final Fantasy, you always want to take on a challenge and embark on an adventure by building a new system for the new episode, with the courage to be able to take this risk. Of course, it’s very hard work and it’s a very big undertaking. With a series going this long, sometimes people might think, “Oh, why don’t you just do something similar?” » I don’t think this works for Final Fantasy.
Every time we should have the courage to have that sense of adventure to take on new challenges. It’s with this mindset that the kind of gravitas that draws people to a Final Fantasy title will kick in and it will produce a Final Fantasy for everyone. I think Final Fantasy XVI did just that and took on a lot of challenges, and the game really made me feel like it was a Final Fantasy.
You will have understood it, despite the change of direction to make it one Action RPGthe father of the license indeed considers him to be a real Final Fantasy. In fact, he had posted quite a few tweets with screenshots when he was playing it. Obviously, we shouldn’t expect him to talk about this episode in public, but he could very well have answered the question by remaining perfectly vague about it.
If you own a PS5 and haven’t yet given it a chance FFXVIit is currently sold €53.64 on Amazon And €59.99 at Cdiscount.
