Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida shared a series of details about the new Square Enix development in a recent interview with Final Fantasy Union. In addition to confirming that the title was originally planned to be developed on PS4 and PS5, Yoshida commented that the team modified the game interface due to complaints from fans, though Square Enix eventually undo the changes. Chose to do that and reinstall the game. Initially in the mind.
“When we posted that first trailer and people saw the gameplay interface, we heard the feedback, and then we got a lot of feedback about maybe it was too much like a fighting game. It was too sci-fi. , it didn’t fit the style of the game. We listened to it and reworked the interface to fit the style a bit, but we found it blended too much with what was going on and was hard to watch. Eventually, Final Fantasy XVI is an action RPG and the action is very fast, and things move. So you need those numbers and those graphics to stand out or you’ll miss them in the heat of the action,” he explained.
“If they’re too blended and fit too well into the world, you won’t see them and you won’t know what’s happening. So we decided to go back to what we originally had, Because that was the best fit. And we found that, yes, the first time you see it the more it throws you off your game. But the more you see it, the more you get used to it and the more you realize that it really fits in with what’s happening. So hopefully players will realize that the more games with it”, the creator added to justify the return of the interface which He designed it in the beginning.
Best Final Fantasy ever?
“Final Fantasy XVI has everything it takes to propel the series back into the mainstream phenomenon it became during the PlayStation era. The clearly Game of Thrones-inspired tone fits the bill and will appeal to those who have previously Never played the game.” RPG. RPG. That commitment to action translates into a spectacular combat system that promises a lot of depth, and also plays in its favor to attract a more global audience. But we believe that the key, if it is maintained throughout the title, is the rhythm, an emotional roller coaster in which events do not stop happening that leave us speechless”, we conclude with our full impressions .
Final Fantasy XVI will land exclusively on PS5 on June 22nd.
