The producer behind Final Fantasy 16 has said winning back the trust of fans is a priority after the previous title faced a backlash.
With the latest instalment of the long-running fantasy series launching today, and it being over five years since the release of Final Fantasy 15, this game has a lot riding on it for developer Square Enix. As reported by BBC News, producer Naoki Yoshida has spoken of his hope to rectify the franchise’s previous mistakes.
Final Fantasy 15, while receiving generally positive reviews from critics, received some criticism for the story’s poor pacing and lack of screen time with the supporting characters. The lack of diversity in the cast was also condemned, with some players still threatening to boycott the latest release after it was discovered 16’s characters would be predominantly made up of white men.
