Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director says RPGs like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 "may have been inevitable" as new players favor real-time games over turn-based
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi believes the trend of blending turn-based combat with real-time elements is an inevitable evolution for RPGs, as younger players favor instant feedback. He notes that pure turn-based games are increasingly seen as legacy genres, though innovative titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Persona 5 demonstrate ways to keep the combat engaging through presentation and mechanics.
