In the new Iwata Ask, Hironobu Sakaguchi has been talking with the president of Nintendo and Tetsuya Takahashi, both creative coincided that JRPG need a change.

The release of Fantasian Neo Dimension was something of a full circle moment for Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has revealed his favorite PlayStation game of all time, also offering the reason behind his choice.
I love how the game keeps getting respect off all these Japanese developers when journalists tried to give off the impression it was maybe a little racist for a Western developer doing a game set in Japan tied to Japanese culture.
Literally the best game of 2020 in my opinion.
This is one of my favorite games of all time also. They crossed all the boxes when they made this game. With a team of 160 people and only cost $60 million. Which compared to SpiderMan 2’s massive inflated cost of $300 million is remarkable.

A wide ranging interview with the Father of Final Fantasy to mark his latest title’s launch on PS5.
LOL so they are going to put a google translation> ok
What they actually said is jrpgs tend to use some of the same conventions so maybe they want to change somethings or put it in a different way.
Considering last story has been critically aclaimed. What needs to change who knows
How about you stop wasting your time on these interviews and get to work on a sequel to Lost Odyssey.
This guy knows it. Plus, the Last Story looks like a real breath of fresh air for JRPGs. Perhaps even the Japanese industry in general. It seems genuinely mature, somehow.
EXTERMINATE TURN BASED FOR GOOD!
Keep turn based alive!
Look back while thinking forward.
