Final Fantasy 16 brought a host of changes to the franchise's traditional formula — namely, it abandoned entirely the turn-based combat the series was known for in exchange for full, fast-paced action. Of course, this divided longtime fans of the franchise, with some believing the series was due for a makeover and others feeling that it lost one of its most defining features. Unfortunately, turn-based combat wasn't the only change Final Fantasy 16 made to the formula, as it also made its protagonist, Clive Rosfield, the only character players could control in combat.
