Final Fantasy XVI will be an action-oriented experience, but Square Enix won’t neglect fans more focused on the story. As part of an interview on Tokyo FM’s One Morning show – as translated by Gematsu – producer Naoki Yoshida revealed a little more about what players can expect from the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive.
“Final Fantasy XVI is pretty action-oriented,” he said. “It’s a Final Fantasy with story and action. We really want players to enjoy the story, so we’re preparing a mode for players who want to focus on the story. Of course, since we have quite a bit of support action, we’re preparing something that’s easy to operate and smooth to play. Don’t worry too much [if you’re not good at action games]
Yoshida also hinted that the story will be more mature this time around: “I believe there are certain hardships that are experienced as we grow up, so I want to make the main theme of this game something that those who grew up with Final Fantasy and understand that can still enjoy reality, get something out of it and think about it. “
