Square Enix has said that it will make future Final Fantasy games more action-orientated.

Producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama told DS that the success of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan will see other titles in the series take a more “speedy” approach.

“With XIII, we made a lot of experiments and we attempted to create a game with lots of elements into an action-paced RPG, which has been going down well in Japan so far,” the duo said.

“So we might keep that attitude into the future to create some very speedy, action-packed games for the series as well.”

Final Fantasy XIII will be available on March 9 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
