Recently, SE said at the shareholders' meeting that they learned about the success of "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" and emphasized that they still attach great importance to the turn-based RPG type and plan to continue to develop such games in the future.

"Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" is a JRPG game. Although the graphics are modern, its gameplay is inspired by classic works such as "Final Fantasy". It uses a turn-based system, which is in sharp contrast to the recently released action-oriented "Final Fantasy 16".

Although SE did not disclose whether the Final Fantasy series will return to turn-based, they said that turn-based RPG is SE's "original and foundation" and is the genre of game that the company still cherishes, and plans to continue launching such games in the future.

Recently, SE has also remastered classic works such as "Dragon Quest" and "Star Ocean" in high definition, and retained its turn-based combat system.In addition, SE said that if the sales of the Final Fantasy Strategy Edition perform well, they do not rule out the possibility of launching a strategic RPG with a similar style.
