The producer of Final Fantasy 16, Naoki Yoshida (AKA Yoshi-P) has spoken about the future of the Final Fantasy series, and he thinks it could be time for a newer team to lead development on the next game rather than “the same old guys.”
In an interview on the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences’ Game Maker’s Notebook podcast, Yoshida was directly asked if he's set to be the director of Final Fantasy 17 (which hasn’t yet been announced), to which he replied: “I’m on the board of directors now so I really need to watch what I say here.” He clarified that “nothing’s been decided yet,” but went on to express his view that it could be time to bring younger developers on board.
