制作人解释《最终幻想16》为何是PS5限时独占

史克威尔艾尼克斯（Square Enix）制作的RPG游戏《最终幻想16（Final Fantasy XVI）》将会在今年6月22日发售，按照与索尼的约定，PlayStation 5至少会独占6个月。

近日，《最终幻想16》的制作人吉田直树接受了媒体的采访，解释了其中的原因，称这款游戏索尼其实是联合开发商，双方有着紧密的合作，以确保游戏在PlayStation 5上得到全面的优化。限时独占6个月不代表6个月后就会发布PC版，开发团队花费了大量的时间和金钱为PlayStation 5优化，以提供最佳的游戏体验，如果要兼顾PC版的进度，是很难做好工作的。《最终幻想16》最终会登陆PC，但没有具体时间表。

同时《最终幻想16》也得到了索尼PlayStation全球营销团队的鼎力支持，所以吉田直树认为限时独占并没有什么坏处。吉田直树还表示，《最终幻想16》还采用了全新的游戏引擎，这是专门为其创建的，以获得最好的游戏效果。

Final Fantasy XVI's producer Naoki Yoshida recently shared that he doesn't like the term "JRPG" when referring to the role-playing games Square Enix creates. Ahead of the release of the next mainline Final Fantasy game, the producer has sat down with multiple media publications to discuss the upcoming entry. During a particular interview with Skill-Up, Yoshida talked about creating Final Fantasy XVI for both longtime fans of the series and new players, as well as how this specific entry broadens the potential audience of players. At one point, Skill-Up asked Yoshida about a previous comment he made about how the action game genre has advanced and was now the norm, and if he was implying the JRPGs hadn't advanced in the same way. Skill-Up explained that it seemed Yoshida didn't like the phrasing of the question, to which his translator said, "The thing that [Yoshida] wants to get across is that when we are creating games, at least with our team, we don’t go into them thinking that we’re going to be creating JRPGs, we just go into them thinking we’re going to create RPGs." When asked to elaborate, Yoshida said, "This is going to depend on who you ask but there was a time when this term first appeared 15 years ago, and for us as developers the first time we heard it, it was like a discriminatory term. As though we were being made fun of for creating these games, and so for some developers, the term JRPG can be something that will maybe trigger bad feelings because of what it was in the past. "It wasn’t a compliment to a lot of developers in Japan," he continued. "We understand that recently, JRPG has better connotations and it’s being used as a positive but we still remember the time when it was used as a negative." Final Fantasy XVI is set to launch on June 22 for PS5. Yoshida recently confirmed that although the game does have a six-month exclusivity deal on the PS5, the PC version won't launch after that period.
