The outstanding performance of "Light and Shadow: Expedition 33" this year has once again attracted players' attention to turn-based RPGs.Recently, "Final Fantasy 7: Remake" director Naoki Hamaguchi was interviewed by foreign media TheGamer and talked about the future direction of the Final Fantasy series.

The reporter asked him: "Is it possible that the Final Fantasy series will return to the turn-based system in the future?" Naoki Hamaguchi replied: "It is true that the new series of works "Final Fantasy 7: Remake" and "Final Fantasy 16" are action RPGs. In fact, for this IP, how the game is designed depends on the director's decision. Therefore, it has not yet been determined whether future new works will continue to follow the action route or return to the traditional round."

"If you ask me what my next work will be, I can definitely answer that it will be an RPG. As for the genre, even if we don't mention "Light and Shadow", we have received a lot of feedback that they hope to launch a traditional turn-based JRPG. So for me, I will give priority to what kind of game experience players like. This is the most important thing."

The choice of turn-based and action-based combat in RPG games has always been a hot topic among players.Previously, producer Naoki Yoshida said: "The development team needs to design according to the specific content of the work." He pointed out that this is an issue for future producers or directors to consider.
