The director’s commentary comes amid an organizational restructuring by Square Enix to support blockchain, web3 and AI.
Developers should embrace future-facing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and web3 if they want to stay relevant in the changing gaming industry, says “Final Fantasy 15” director Hajime Tabata.
Tabata’s comments came during a seminar held by Human Academy featuring former Square Enix president Yoichi Wada and Tabata, who is now the CEO of JP Games.
According to a Google translation of a report from Japanese new source 4Gamer, the two gaming industry luminaries discussed the future of gaming with topics ranging from "what is required of creators now" to “these people are not suitable for creators".
