As the Final Fantasy series wraps up its 7 remake trilogy, director Naoki Hamaguchi is focused on attracting younger players. With a fanbase that has aged since the late '80s, he believes the franchise needs to deliver fresh experiences that appeal to both veterans and newcomers. Naoki Yoshida, director of Final Fantasy 14, points out that long development times can alienate younger audiences. Square Enix is gearing up for future titles, including Final Fantasy 17, aiming to incorporate real-time combat that aligns with modern gaming trends. Will these changes bring in a new generation of fans?
