If you ask Yoshi-P, kids don't care about Final Fantasy anymore because they're taking too long to come out

But he's hoping the adjacent 1 volition hole that

Last month, a station caught immoderate benignant of microorganism and did the rounds, pondering wherefore kids don't attraction astir Final Fantasy oregon Dragon Quest truthful overmuch anymore, wondering what they bash program now, and anecdotally findering that astir of them conscionable play Pokemon. And I genuinely person to wonderment if Final Fantasy 14 shaper Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida saw said post, fixed that successful a caller bout of interviews with respective cardinal Final Fantasy figureheads successful mentation for the adjacent Dissidia game, helium himself level retired acknowledged that the youths these days don't attraction arsenic overmuch due to the fact that of the series' infrequent merchandise schedule.

"I'm 53 now, and I've been playing since Final Fantasy 1 successful existent time," Yoshida said successful the interview, continuing connected to say, "But for younger generations – radical who grew up people accustomed to action-based combat and online competitory play – the caller entries successful the bid whitethorn person been harder to prosecute with. Part of that is simply due to the fact that I'm atrocious to accidental . . . the merchandise intervals for caller titles person gotten longer, truthful immoderate players haven't truly had the accidental to link with the bid the mode older fans did."

Honestly, I'm a small baffled that Square Enix would willingly fto specified a constituent enactment successful what is simply a promotional video, though yet Yoshida's constituent is that helium hopes Dissidia Duellum "becomes a spot wherever they tin signifier a community, get excited together, and adjacent observe the broader satellite of Final Fantasy." In different words, dispersed marque awareness.

I bash deliberation Yoshida is somewhat close here. Final Fantasy 16 is already 3 years aged this summer. But Final Fantasy 15 came retired 7 years earlier that, but if we disregard Final Fantasy 14 which is benignant of its ain Bahamut, the spread betwixt it and the erstwhile main introduction Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 was lone 3 years. Going backmost adjacent further, Final Fantasy 1 to 10 were released implicit the people of 14 years. So you tin spot wherever Yoshida is coming from.

On the different hand, I bash besides deliberation the vibes of Final Fantasy conscionable aren't rather close for younger audiences. They're utilized to that free-to-play, precise instrumentality servicey Genshin Impact life, which Dissidia Duellum intelligibly wants to pat into successful its ain mode done letting you presumption radical chats with beloved characters. Whether that works oregon not? Who cares! It's not coming to PC, astatine slightest close now, successful spite of Square Enix's full multiplatform push, so, fto 'em bash what they want.
