It’s difficult to avoid thinking about various activity combat games, like the Devil May Cry series from Capcom, when discussing or watching gameplay for Final Fantasy XVI. And if its conflict makes you think of DMC, it’s likely because Ryota Suzuki, the combat chairman of FFXVI, contributed to the design of the battles in Devil May Cry 4, 5, and 6. He did, however, even contribute to Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Suzuki informed me that some of FFXVI’s systems were also influenced by Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, despite the fact that it is difficult to lose the DMC inspirations present in the battle of the film.
Ryota Suzuki, the battle director of Final Fantasy XVI, is shown here.
As you may or may not understand, in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, we had the Assist system, which allowed you to give directions to your partner in challenge. Suzuki claims that this is something that we took from that game and added to Final Fantasy XVI. And in order to produce this extremely frantic battle program, we were able to give the impression that many people were engaged in simultaneous combat rather than just one-on-one combat.
We used some of that information to develop the Torgal system, which allows you to command Clive’s companion dog to perform various tasks while you’re alone but also working together.
That Assist system was developed by him and the crew at Capcom 22 years ago. In it, you command a combat companion in war. By doing this, the key personality is prevented from acting for a while. According to him, Creative Business Unit III removed that component of the Assist program because it didn’t want to do that in FFXVI.
There would be more types of frenetic battles where both the partner [ Torgal ] and the player could still be playing and taking part in the battle even though the commands were being given.
Suzuki also points out that Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 served as an inspiration for specific activities in FFXVI’s fight. Players acquainted with combos in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 will find that it feels lightly comfortable when you time particular commands only right, unlocking, in real-time, even more special types of moves.
It’s not necessary, but players would be able to draw off inside of those base foundations if they have the skill.”[ These specific moves ] are one of the things we wanted to apply early on.”
