Naoki Yoshida Teases Potential New Final Fantasy Tactics

Despite fan excitement, Yoshida notes FF16's world may not be the best fit for the series' tactical gameplay.

Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy XVI and XIV, hints at the possibility of a new Final Fantasy Tactics game, expressing that it's 'probably about time' for one.
Despite interest in a new Tactics game, Yoshida clarifies that the world of Final Fantasy XVI wouldn't be a suitable setting due to its large-scale battles and the complexity of incorporating Eikons in a grid-based combat system.
The last main entry in the Final Fantasy Tactics series was released in 2007, and fans have been vocal about their desire for a new game or even a basic port on modern platforms.
Yoshida and the Final Fantasy XVI team, many of whom are veterans of the original Tactics game, share fans' enthusiasm for the series but emphasize the need for a fresh narrative approach.
The idea of a new Final Fantasy Tactics game has sparked excitement among fans, although no official plans have been announced yet.
