ASH Review
・チーム編成を起点に本作独自の戦略性を演出
・利便性に欠けるいくつかの仕様は惜しまれる
・マップ上のキャラクターが小さく、スムーズにタッチしづらい
・仲間の死を生につなげていく物語も興味津々
・編成画面の画面変更など、やや不便な点も
・インターフェースはよく非常に遊びやすい作り
・1回の戦闘時間は長め。1ステージのクリアにかなりの時間がかかるときも

What are you talking about? Seriously, you're boggling my mind here.
"The games leaving behind their Disney heritage".
There were TWO games on the PS2, one on the GBA. The GBA one was a retelling of the original game pretty much, which leaves one other game, which was obviously still about the Disney stuff.
So you're basically making stupid judgments based on the first ever screens released of a game.

The shitty PS2 one. But with Nomura at the helm of these projects, I don't think fans will be remotely disappointed. Seriously.
Edit: The ASH review basically says that the game is founded on team formation tactics, the characters are tiny on the map, but touch controls are rather smooth. The interface is fine for actually playing and controlling but they seem to have issues with certain issues like like you're forming your party and stuff. They also mention that the battles take really long and hence finishing each map takes ages.

Why's everyone so down hearted? Were you guys expecting anything specific in this weeks famitsu?
Yeah, at least he's directing the DS/PSP games.duckroll said:
Aww, I thought that might happen when when you described the battle system to us the first time. Taking turn-based strategy and mixing it with turn-based combat would make it really slow, I'm not surprised but I'm hoping it isn't boring which for me will all pretty much depend on the depth of that battle/class system.duckroll said:
duckroll said:I wouldn't put too much stock in anything Famitsu has to say about a RPG or Strategy game. Game comes out next week, wait for real impressions.
That's what I'm doing. I'll wait for people to play it. "Battles take too long" is a retarded complaint for an SRPG -- if the game has flaws, I'm sure the actual gamers will be able to point them out. :lol
Oh I thought Tabata was directing the mobile game, sorry. :lolduckroll said:

Izzy is gone, he might be watching though.speedpop said:
Defuser said:
Why? There's no reason to think that at all. It's not like Hajime Tabata had done anything particularly notable prior to Crisis Core -- he'd just made an FF7 cell phone spinoff. So who's to say Tai Yasue can't design just as good a game?
Yasue's actually done game planning work before, so that's a pretty good sign, and he's got an internal Square Enix team on the game. Really, the title people should be concerned about here is the DS one, given that it's A) being outsourced to a not-outstanding developer; B) the co-director has no prior direction/game design/game planning experience, but has only worked in art; and C) is going to be another non-online multiplayer game.
Defuser said:
I dunno, Crisis Core's Creative Producer is Nomura....
For those wondering, KHBbS PSP's battle system is said by Nomura to be "closer to Re:CoM" in terms of mechanics. The controls are typical KH, but the actual commands that are available act like a sort of "deck". While they're not using cards this time, it seems that between CoM, IAWW and Crisis Core, Nomura really has a thing about fast paced action style systems that also have random elements that change battles on the fly outside of your control but keep the action going. He did mention that the gameplay of KHBbS is a progress of CoM and IAWW. There are also many timing elements in the gameplay in terms of pulling off combos and so on.
jj984jj said:He's a Creative Producer on It's a Wonderful World as well, I doubt these games had much of his involvement, I wish Tabata wasn't put on another mobile game.
I would say his interviews on these games indicate the opposite. He's very much involved with the games and work with the directors and teams in a very close manner.

Well, this is a good news IMO. The one (and only?) thing I liked of KH:CoM was its battle system.
I don't want another uber-dark RPG though... KH2 and FF13VS are enough...

why have I just heard of this? I am replaying the previous one right now.
Yeah, Nomura took Jupiter and made them great. Nomura took Tabata and made him great. There's no reason to think he won't do the same with these KH games.
He's basically the guy driving the quality at Square these days. He has great game design ideas and approaches to both gameplay and story, as well as visuals/music. He seems to bring out the best in those around him.

That sounds good.duckroll said:Is that why Mickey is in all 3 games? And why Olympus and Sleeping Beauty are worlds in the PSP game? It must be because they're doing away with Disney forever! Amirite.
I hope they expand to Disney's "branches" in the next real KH. Imagine if they put in some Miyazaki worlds... Though from what I've heard of the guy I don't think he'd ever allow such a thing. And Pixar makes too much sense, of course

Can you prove him wrong though?
Also, KH: BbS looks great... I really hope it doesn't slow down too much though compared to the previous KH console games.
DarknessTear said:
In that Nomura doesn't have truly great approaches to story, visuals, and music, and in that he's made quite a few bad games which casts the whole "he's driving thw quality at Square" bit into a dubious light, I think the wrongness of the remarks is evident.
I also don't have any idea why he's being given credit for the Crisis Core story (done by Kazushige Nojima) or by music done by Takeharu Ishimoto, whose tenure at Square predates Nomura's rise, and whose compositional style was displayed before Nomura made his first game (when Ishimoto did the bonus track for Vagrant Story).
