The beauty of Call of Duty is that it keeps influencing many games, no matter what genre they belong to. And now it looks like the creators of the recently launched Final Fantasy 16 are big fans of Activision’s FPS franchise.

It became evident in a media interaction where Square Enix Vice President mentioned that Final Fantasy fans could see an FPS title styled like CoD in the near future. This means they could end up witnessing a shift in genre for their favorite series!

Could a future Final Fantasy game be a Call of Duty-style FPS?

Vice President Yoshinori Kitase recently talked to Bloomberg, as reported by VG247. During the interview, he was asked many questions regarding the latest game Final Fantasy 16, and everything related to it. This was quite obvious given the fact that it has just launched worldwide.

Interestingly, he also talked about changing the styles in FF titles going forward. And that they could take inspiration from other IPs as well, such as Call of Duty. The veteran explained that he’s okay to work on a first-person shooter like Activision’s popular series – moving away from the usual method of presenting the entries.

Moreover, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida, who was there with Mr. Kitase, even joked about how Call of Duty is very much similar to Square Enix’s iconic saga. He said that it has also got “this small group of people going around saving the world – that’s very Final Fantasy.”

All things considered, it can be said that the makers might do some experiments with future projects. It will be interesting to see if they will develop their own version of an FPS like CoD for the fans or not. But then it will be up to the players as well to accept or reject such a transition for Final Fantasy.

Meanwhile, the newly introduced installment in Square Enix’s celebrated series is now available. Interested gamers can get it on the PS5 platform.
