Square-Enix Admits They Made A Mistake

[loco365]

If they started making quality games (Like, remakes of their original games (IV DS was good in my regard), not the mobile BS (See: FFVI Mobile) we're getting now), I think people would start investing in them again.

I guess... Lightning never strikes thrice.. actually, she did.. make that frice.
Honestly though, it was a hallway simulator followed by a fashion simulator (and Square considered making it a dating simulator as well.. April Fools but you never know).

Final Fantasy VI-2 confirmed

This would be terrible.

 

[GHANMI]

This would be terrible.

Not more terrible than what an actual FF7 remake would be like actually, if VII Crisis Core, and IV The After Years are any indication.

Sheesh. Ya post one picture of Lightning and everyone loses their minds. Holy shit.

Was anyone honestly surprised?

Final Fantasy VI-2 confirmed

That would actually be a Final Fantasy sequel that didn't suck balls.

Spoiler

haters gonna hate

Time for an 8-bit FF revolution.

Not every (good) game needs a sequel. I haven't played it myself but Final Fantasy 6 is regarded as one of the best Final Fantasy titles and one of the best RPGs. That alone will set the bars high and.
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is a great example of why this shouldn't happen. An awkward game in general
You also cited Crisis Core, but look at Dirge of Cerberus at how terrible it was.
And Final Fantasy X-2 where the only decent thing about it was it's battle system. Killed Yuna's character for the favor of fanservice.

Final Fantasy needs to stop doing sequels, it goes against what the series stood for.

 

[The Catboy]

Good on them.

 

[ov3rkill]

Can't wait for a Final Fantasy dating simulator complete with all the characters from first to the latest Final Fantasy.

Mistake? Oh, like the IOS remakes for FFIV, V and VI that look like they were ripped RPG Maker VX games? If so, then all is forgiven.


Yeah, if they can actually redo a Final Fantasy game on IOS that doesn't look like shit, I might consider getting it. They need to go back to their roots.

Erm....how is this article in any way related to final fantasy? It's about bravely default. And you su...I mean Yosuke mentions the hitman series is going back to their roots.

You guys didn't like FF13 (well...some of you don't). I get it. But shouldn't you do things like NOT BUY THEM rather than banging on about it at every freakin' opportunity?


To me, the only problem square enix (or any game developer) has is that they don't build games anymore but franchises. The success of bravely default could very well be that it wasn't sequel elevenhundred to a franchise that was milked to death already.

And killing the remakes for mobile devices, they show how not to remake a game.

 

[Langin]

it makes me sad you're standards are so low...13 was utter crap. I refuse to even keep it in my collection which includes every other FF game besides 13 and it's thoughtless money grabbing sequels.

I am bloody srs and my standards are different then most people's standards. I hate western games, I hate games which require a too long attention span. And FF XIII seems to fit me pretty well, it can be played in short bursts, looks pretty, has a nice and easy battle system so I don't have to make much effort.(Yet it remains somewhat challenging)

 

[calmwaters]

By FF Six, you mean FF Three for the SNES. I much prefer the console version since the screen is much bigger than the GameBoy's will ever be. And, uh, who's Lightning? I've heard of her: but what was the first game she appeared in? And can we get some sort of date on when they'll start making Final Fantasy games again for Nintendo as retribution for their mistake?

I haven't played Bravery Default but what I heard is that it's almost a sequel to Final Fantasy III,
It follows the same chibi style from FFIII DS, the gameplay is basically the same, characters have classes and you can change them,
even their stories are similar, like having to find the crystals.

Thank you for giving me more reason not to buy BD, FFIII DS was shit.

It's the spiritual successor to the The 4 Heroes of Light, not Final Fantasy III.

I wasn't totally impressed by III, but I've never played 4 Heroes so I can't speak for it personally. However, I have a lot of good things about Bravely Default. I wouldn't totally dismiss it, it seems something worth looking into.

Spoiler

FFIII wasn't nearly as bad as FFXIII.

Spoiler

Obligatory jab

 

[chavosaur]

Friends please.
Can we not agree that all of Final Fantasy is equally as shit as every other Final Fantasy?

Gameplay is more like the superior FFV than crappy FFIII

You don't like having the option to choose your own classes for characters? welp
