許多玩家認爲《最終幻想》系列是JRPG的代表，不過吉田直樹並不認爲這是對開發人員的恭維，也不喜歡這個詞，認爲背後具有“歧視性”。

在吉田直樹看來這是對所有日本遊戲開發者的“嘲笑”，將他們創造的東西都裝到一個名爲JRPG的盒子裏，然後從RPG類別裏剝離出來，而且詞彙本身的起源是帶有羞辱性的，西方媒體和玩家認爲部分日本RPG遊戲不符合他們認可的“RPG遊戲標準”，從而創造出JRPG特意進行分類，即便今天有時會用於正面的例子。

去年11月，吉田直樹在一次採訪中表示，《最終幻想16》中不會有黑人角色，理由則是“遊戲的世界基於中世紀歐洲設計，如果非要在遊戲裏糾結人種多樣性，會破壞遊戲的敘事結構框架”。這種解釋引來了部分黑人玩家的抨擊，至今仍有人揪着“多樣性”不肯罷休，要求官方作出反省。最近的採訪裏，媒體就該問題再次向吉田直樹發問。

這次吉田直樹沒有直接回答這個問題，表示遊戲開發團隊在“文化多樣性”上已經做出了巨大的努力，對世界各地的各種文化和價值體系進行了大量研究和調查，最終以極大的尊重和關懷融入到廣闊的幻想敘事和世界。吉田直樹稱，不同的人對這段回答反應可能不同，每個人對“多樣性”一詞的理解也會有自己的想法。

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.
