We have the newest entry in the Final Fantasy series arriving on our shores in the coming months and it would appear the president of Square Enix Yoichi Wada already has the future of the franchise in mind. They have hit a bit of a crossroad and with a recent interview with Edge, Yoichi explained the situation.
“I believe Final Fantasy XIII is going be something special, and that it’s going to be well-received by the audience. But whether we are going to continue to internally create this type of game remains to be seen, because I actually feel that the team that was involved with Final Fantasy XIII should next move on to create and generate some ‘next generation’ forms of play,” Wada said.
“Internally and externally I feel there’s an expectation of Square Enix to offer something new, and I really think that the Final Fantasy team could create something completely different, but at the moment they’re strictly catering to the particular audience they have now.”
Does this mean that Final Fantasy 15 (which will no doubt be made) is going to be a totally different game that what XIII is? I guess we will just have to wait till the game’s inevitable announcement in the following years.
