I read up more about this.

MonHun/Animal Crossing/Final Fantasy style RPG with 21000 pages worth of text, content which takes months to even begin to scratch the surface of?

Day 0.

This would be a system seller for Vita. Why oh why SE.
The port struggle is real

Hope this gets localized. 3DS really needs more 2015 games. Normally I would think the Final Fantasy name would be enough to ensure localization, but after Type-0 PSP who knows... :/

I'll have to jump in with the "looks a bit generic" crowd so far. I'm curious about the gameplay though, a video might peak my interest more.

Looks like a game I'd pick up day one. Even though it was mentioned that the gameplay doesn't feel like FFCC, I am glad that the style does share similarities though.

Thanks Seda, added to the OP. Actually saw the tweet, but didn't think of actually checking out the website. Doh. Maybe you should update the thread's title?

By the way, there's an official FAQ too... anything interesting there?
 
Looks like a PSP game, which is why I expect these days from a niche japanese company 3DS game. Guess is something that really fits SE these days.
 
I kinda wish it was on another console as I don't like the chibi look and would prefer more humanized characters.....but everything is amazing.
Can't wait, this is almost the game I wished for 15 years ago (i wanted a Pokemon clone where you caught FF summons).

Hype!

Its call FFXIV.

As for this game itself I think it looks amazing and hope to play it one day.

Looks cute and interesting, even if the visual style is clearly less remarkable than the one in Crystal Chronicles series. Looking foward to it, if anything just to play a 4p FF that I miss so much. MMORPGs are ok, but sometimes smaller scale games are also fun to jump in and require less efforts.

We'll need to see the game in motion. We can play SP and recruit monster friends to make up for lack of party members.

It's playable in SP, though we have no info about that for now.

well, that doesn't sound very encouraing, but thanks.

I hope it's like FF:CC for gamecube, that it was clearly meant to be played on multiplayer but SP was serviceable too.
 
This makes me all the more disappointed that they opted not to continue with the FF remakes for FF5 and FF6 on the 3DS. Those games would be great with these graphics.

As it is, I have never enjoyed Monster Hunter or any of its imitators, so I hope this game offers more than those experiences. I really enjoy coop multiplayer and the classic and simple aesthetic they are going for so I am definitely interested so long as the entire game isn't just repetitive damage grinding against big dumb enemies.
 
I love Soul Sacrifice and I love Monster Hunter; Final Fantasy entering the genre piques my interest.

What excites me most for FF is the one thing I'd wished more from SS:

Magic casting, where a Mage can stand back and cast off devastating magic. The thought of grouped mages, all triggering massive spells, gets me giddy!

It looks like a DS game with bigger scope actually.
Maybe it's MH3U or BD that spoiled me but this isn't what I expected from a SE game.

Hopefully they're just terrible screenshots. We will for video before my hype decides which way to go.

What were you expecting from current SE if I may ask?
Well Bravely default that I'm currently playing.
and I mean the least I expect from SE is usually state of the art if not top of the line gfx of what's possible on the platform.
I mean they're the guys that churned out a well made DS game with a DS emulator for Wii in quite a record time.
Granted I stopped at FFXIII but if you told me that I could find promo shots of their latest 3DS game and it would look like something out of a DS I would have called you crazy.
Hopefully they're just terrible screenshots. We will for video before my hype decides which way to go.
I'll take it if it plays well like I always did, but seriously this isn't a looker.

Eh, after seeing the newest screens, im not so impressed. Game would have benefitted from being on more powerful hardware. Still on my watch list but not looking like a must buy.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
The fact that we are still waiting for a trailer or that SE didn't use the small gaming convention called e3 to announce the game just shows how out of touch they are. And it doesn't matter of the game is a 2015 release here, because many games that got shown at e3 won't be out till next year like Project Steam.

They know that they are catering to an ever shrinking market and still continue to act like imbeciles when it comes to announcements. If this was a mobile game I would probably already be playing the localized version - sure it would run and play shitty but the announcement wouldn't have been such a drag.


Still looking forward to the game, especially if it runs fine. But the way SE handles these announcements for a global player are a joke.

Which 3D action RPG wouldn't?

SE probably won't show a trailer until TGS. First trailer will probably be a bad teaser trailer and tell us very little anyway, likely a 2015 JP release and maybe late 2015-2016 to never release everywhere else.
