Gaming Is Final Fantasy XVI Signaling a Permanent Shift Toward Action Combat?

[Maya]

Did you play Final Fantasy XVI? Did you notice the combat moved away from traditional systems. I think this divided a lot of fans. Do you think the franchise will stay on this path or return to hybrid mechanics? Which combat style do you think suits the series better? How do you feel about the shift in tone compared to earlier entries?

I think it's more of a permanent shift towards JRPGs and RPGs in general, which is fantastic. I love RPGs and JRPGs, and seeing them evolve in this way is wonderful.
