However, while revenge has thus far played a big part in motivating Clive—and has informed much of the marketing of the game to this point—the team were clear that Clive only begins in this place. “While Clive is driven by revenge at that first point in the game, it’s through his journey and meeting a lot of different people that he learns to open up a little bit and he starts changing this for you.
With a bit more clarity on the events of FF16, we moved onto the other large manner in which the game has stood apart: its lean into full on action, aided by Suzuki, whose credits include. When I asked about the game’s shift to action reminiscent of western games, I was partially rebuffed by Yoshida, who claimed that while it certainly does appeal to audiences outside of Japan, he’s noticed that younger Japanese players who grew up with action-RPGS are also clamoring for something like FF16.
