Honestly I'm sorta hyped, but for me Final Fantasy is still dead.
Hope it's not Mash X to win like KH2 was
I respectfully disagree. Tolerate this and every game will eventually be a FPS.Being like KH is what make this FF so fucking awesome! Turn based RPGs are old school now. After playing all FFXIII I couldnt go back to FFX/X-2 because now I feel it so boring and stupid. I love this Action/RPG style is A lot more better.
Same with Brevealy Default. I cant go back to that Battle System anymore. RPGs have evolved to a beter thing.
Huh? There are still plenty of turn-based RPGs being made.Turn based RPGs are old school now.
Bravely Default isn't really a shining example of a good turn-based RPG, same with FFX-2Same with Brevealy Default. I cant go back to that Battle System anymore.
Even though Final Fantasy has never been the best example of this turn-based RPGs like most turn-based games require thought and people enjoy that.RPGs have evolved to a beter thing.
They're going with God Mode characters again - this trend got old after The Matrix. If the characters are also whiny like every single character from Cloud Strife onwards, it's a rental. I like the fighting system though - looks fun, but they should tone down the sparkles. Destructible environment is a big plus, it showcases the capabilities of the new consoles and looks gorgeous. Overall, this seems like a 50/50 mix - it might be good if the story and the characters will manage to carry the game - it would be nice to have an adventure again instead of wandering in a hallway of pre-ordained fate.
God Mode-ing is fine in some games and detrimental in others. You expect Kratos to kick ass because he's a demigod, in Final Fantasy you need to face some reasonable challenge to motivate you to level up. If the only difficulty is tracking the amount of enemies on-screen then there is no real difficulty on the side of the character, no struggle and no will for character development because you kick ass either way - role playing elements suffer. Then again, now I'm just blaming JRPG's for being bad RPG's, as if that wasn't common practice as of late."God Mode" characters are fine if they play it right. See Asura's Wrath.
Issue is that Final Fantasy hasn't played anything right for many years and odds are the characters will be broody or obnoxiously cocky.
The combat looks like it could be fun but it's wrapped in this shit aesthetic that is Final Fantasy and flashy doesn't mean good. God of War is flashy but the combat isn't exactly deep.
dat slippery slope fallacyI respectfully disagree. Tolerate this and every game will eventually be a FPS.
I'll get hyped if there's a PC version.
You'll probably never get hyped then.
the characters are also whiny like every single character from Cloud Strife onwards
I have nothing to add to this thread other than:
Zidane (IX) and Vaan (XII) disagree with your statement
EDIT: Now a thread where we call Kingdom Hearts names.Looks like kingdumb hearts. And Kingdumb hearts is why we cant have nice things.
It was confirmed that there will be a PC version alreadyI'll get hyped if there's a PC version.
