Does it really matter if Final Fantasy XVI doesnt have a traditional party system?

From RPGSite: “As we await further news of Final Fantasy XVI, and with a PlayStation State of Play stream that could host an update on the way, my thoughts have been drifting back to what we might expect from the game. One question around how the game will play is also a sticking point for some fans: what about parties?

By which I mean: will FF16 have a traditional party system, where players will take direct control of more than one character? Will Clive journey for an extended time with a bunch of allies? This has been a Final Fantasy franchise staple – but from the little weve seen of FF16, I increasingly believe this could be the game to break that tradition.

All of this is conjecture and supposition, of course. Well learn more soon. But why do I believe that? Well, let me explain whats feeding these thoughts. ”
