Both games are finding significant success globally, proving that there is no single “correct” way to build a modern role-playing game. “Both action and turn-based games must continue to evolve,” Hamaguchi stated. “We need to convey to fans that it isn’t about one style replacing the other; it’s about both styles reaching their full potential.”

Hamaguchi noted that the team at Sandfall shares this sentiment, believing that the most effective way to address the debate is through action—by crafting exceptional games that stand as proof of the genre’s versatility. This healthy ecosystem allows for a wide range of storytelling and mechanics, from the tactical depth of Shin Megami Tensei to the character-driven charm of the Tales series.

As anticipation builds for the third chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 remake, the future of Sandfall remains an intriguing mystery. Regardless of what comes next, the high standard set by these creators suggests that fans of the genre have much to look forward to in the coming years.

Check out how the director of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 points to Final Fantasy 10 as a cautionary tale for game balance, while acknowledging that becoming “overpowered” can sometimes be part of the fun.
