Oftentimes, the full merits\u00a0and drawbacks of these tropes are only fully appreciated after a fresh installment makes a sharp break from what came before. This dynamic, a balancing act between reverence for the past and future reinvention, is especially evident in the <em>Final Fantasy<\/em> franchise. After a series of experimental titles, compilations, remakes, and futuristic outings,\u00a0<strong><em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em><\/strong>&#8216;s crystal-saturated medieval setting\u00a0is poised to serve as a return to form.<\/p>\n<p>But not everything that is old is new again. The gameplay on display in\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/final-fantasy-16\/\">Final Fantasy 16<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>seems to closely resemble\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 15\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 7 Remakes<\/em>&#8216;\u00a0action-oriented combat systems. At time of writing, there is no evidence as to whether the game will make use of menu-based combat or ATB bars at all. This begs a simple but potent question: What hallmarks from past <em>Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>titles should make a comeback? And what new affectations should be laid to rest?<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-versus-13-may-impacting-final-fantasy-16\/\">How Final Fantasy Versus 13 May Be Impacting Final Fantasy 16&#8217;s Development<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fantasy-16-reveal-trailer\/\"><em>Final Fantasy 16\u00a0<\/em>has already shown\u00a0off several franchise staples<\/a>, including the concept of nation states built around magical crystals\u2014Mothercrystals, in the game&#8217;s parlance\u2014and individuals known as Dominants who are capable of summoning the series iconic, elemental deities referred to as Eikons. The trailers that have been revealed so far also show off other familiar fixtures, including the faithful Chocobo bird-steeds and noxious\u00a0Malboro plant enemies. But there are other, bigger features the game should borrow from prior <em>Final Fantasy<\/em> titles.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yr6PtdY0i7M\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;width:1280;height:720;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Early installments of the\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy<\/em>\u00a0franchise revolved around variations of the &#8220;job system,&#8221; which itself was a riff off of\u00a0<em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons&#8217;<\/em>\u00a0character class\u00a0framework. In certain titles, like\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 4<\/em>, characters were largely locked into classes based on the game&#8217;s predetermined narrative, but in other games like <em>Final Fantasy 5<\/em>, the player could change characters&#8217; classes on the fly. Apart from their stellar implementation in\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 14<\/em>,\u00a0jobs have fallen to the wayside in recent main series installments,\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-16-classes\/\">it would be refreshing to see\u00a0classes make a comeback in <em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the problems with a fully customizable class system, however, is that characters can end up feeling fungible. If everybody has the potential to become everything, nobody has a meaningful mechanical identity.\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 6,\u00a0<\/em>7, and\u00a0<em>8<\/em> circumvented this problem by allowing the player to customize characters magic and equipment freely while giving them special, character-specific skills to make them feel distinctive and suitable for specific roles.\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em> could mix both of these systems, giving characters changeable classes with learnable skills that\u00a0supplement character-specific abilities.<\/p>\n<p>It must be acknowledged there is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-16-story-characters-no-party-system\/\">no guarantee that <em>Final Fantasy 16\u00a0<\/em>will feature a playable party<\/a>, as all the screenshots to date show Clive in solo-combat. Therefore, it might seem pointless to have a robust job system, as certain classes excel based on their ability to synergize with others. But\u00a0classes should return even if Clive is on his own, as they would present the game with an opportunity to\u00a0differentiate itself from other action games like\u00a0<em>Devil May Cry,<\/em>\u00a0<em>Demon Souls<\/em>, and even\u00a0Square Enix&#8217;s own\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 7 Remake.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/final-fantasy-16-world-concept-art.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The sharpest, most consistent criticism that has been leveled against recent <em>Final Fantasy<\/em> titles is their comparatively linear story-telling. Rather than developing a large, open world that is ripe for exploration, the player proceeds\u00a0from one corridor or playground-like level to the next. This is a huge missed opportunity, as one of the reasons fans adore older\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>games is their capacity for immersion and exploration, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-15-xv-wishlist\/\">players have\u00a0asked for more freedom since\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 13<\/em>\u00a0launched<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Earning an airship in a classic\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>title\u00a0was thrilling, because it meant the player was finally free to explore the entire world map. Finding a secret area that held valuable equipment, magic, or best of all, an optional party member, gave those earlier adventures a sense of personal discovery and made the experience feel more like a virtually realized tabletop game\u00a0than a playable blockbuster.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-2-trademarks\/\">Square Enix Trademarks Could Reference Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, <em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em>\u00a0will give players the chance to explore, because the game&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-16-character-clive-young-old-time\/\">apparent time-skip gives exploration a whole new dimension of potential<\/a>. If players have freedom to explore the world, Clive&#8217;s actions as a teenager have the potential to lead to lasting changes in those regions\u00a0when he\u00a0is an adult. There is no need for a complete focal shift to <em>Fable<\/em>-esque &#8220;all actions have consequences,&#8221; causality, but seeing Clive make a choice in act one that ends up paying dividends in act two or three would be a brilliant evolution for the series, and another way to make the game feel immersive.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static3.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Final-Fantasy-16-Protagonist-Featured.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>While freedom is intoxicating and appealing, there is one respect where Square Enix<em>\u00a0<\/em>should try to reign\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 16<\/em> in. Since the launch of the three-part\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 13\u00a0<\/em>saga, every main installment of the\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy<\/em>\u00a0franchise has been fragmented in some way or another.\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 14&#8217;s\u00a0<\/em>story is phenomenal and poignant, but divided between expansions, and as an MMO, the story never really draws to a close.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-16-vs-ff15-dlc\/\"><em>Final Fantasy 15\u00a0<\/em>was released with a transmedia barrage of crossover stories<\/a>\u00a0and DLCs, but rather than expanding that game&#8217;s world, each disparate piece of content contains information that is absent or under-developed in the main narrative.<\/p>\n<p>More than anything else, what\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>fans want to see from the next game is a completed story. Something whole unto itself, with a well-built beginning, middle, and, most importantly, a definitive ending. There are few things more frustrating than reaching the end of game, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-7-remake-part-2-sephiroth\/\">a mind-bending conclusion like\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>&#8216;s<\/a>, only to know that answers, and the next instalment, are years away.<\/p>\n<p>No matter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/final-fantasy-series-things-changed-stayed-same\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>changes throughout the years<\/a>, the best-loved games that have gone on to expand, spin-off, and crossover, first started out as self-contained narratives. And that is a trend that desperately needs to return to\u00a0the franchise. Square Enix has yet to announce a release date for<em> Final Fantasy 16,\u00a0<\/em>so the title is still likely a long ways away. Fortunately, eager\u00a0players have <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-16-games-ff7-remake-ff9-ff15-ghost-tsushima-persona-5\/\">several compelling options to\u00a0get reacquainted with the <em>Final Fantasy<\/em> franchise<\/a>, and the general state of JRPGS in the interim.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Final Fantasy 16\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is currently in development.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/final-fantasy-5-6-remakes\/\">Why Final Fantasy 5 and 6 Deserve the Remake Treatment<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>After several futuristic installments, Final Fantasy 16 provides Square Enix with the opportunity to revive classic tropes from the franchise&#8217; roots.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":667,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Classic Final Fantasy Tropes That Should Be in FF16 | Game Rant - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"After several futuristic installments, Final Fantasy 16 provides Square Enix with the opportunity to revive classic tropes from the franchise' roots."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170259"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170259"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":170260,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170259\/revisions\/170260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
