Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers’ director plays a lot of… Spider-Man
Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers is set to release later this month and looks as lavish as its predecessors, boasting new jobs, new races, and a Nier Automata raid crossover. Something fans have enjoyed in recent livestreams is director Naoki Yoshida’s fondness for Spider-Man, and particularly his recent, well-received PS4 exclusive game. Speaking with PCGamesN, Yoshida expanded on this, and why it’s important for developers to keep up with the rest of the industry.
“I think it’s important as an engineer to keep up with new and modern day games,” Yoshida explains. “One of the games I do play a lot is Spider-Man. It's really good in terms of game mechanics but also the creators were very particular about creating that game and they had a lot of love for the material.”
Insomniac’s take on Marvel’s superhero fulfills the Spider-Man fantasy by letting you swoop and soar through the concrete jungle of New York. Many critics felt the game had nailed this mechanically, which might be what Yoshida means here.
