Square-Enix ask you what do you want in 2013

FFVI Remake with cel-shaded graphics and in anime style.

FFVI Remake with Agni Philosophy graphics, but only if it doesn't take forever and a day.

FFVI Remake with pixels. I don't care. Give me a FFVI remake!

Oh, and stop fucking sitting on Ogre Battle you numb nuts. Give me Ogre Battle. 5 of them, it's been too long.

And a proper Final Fantasy Tactics, not the light-hearted FFTA stuff.

A sequel to Chrono Trigger/Cross.


Come to think of it, I want a lot from square.


All of this... and an ActRaiser Reboot (including the world-building elements). :D
 

TheSeks

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
I want Persona 2: Eternal Punishment PSP and the Last Ranker localized.

What's that? They aren't Square-Enidos titles? I don't care. You asked me "what I want in 2013" so that's my answer, Square. >:|



--Oh, which means they won't get it anyway.

That said:

-No Lighting Returns: FFXIII-3
-Release Versus-XIII
-Release XIII: Agito/Type-0 in the west.

Hire Matsuno, Yoshida and , Iwata and Sakimoto.

Give them the Final Fantasy XII sequel, and all Ivalice properties.

Actually, I add this to my list.

-FFXII:International:ZJS HD port with FFXII-2 (that isn't Reverent Turds) with more of the battle system/gambit system in the sequel? Yes plz.

Management issues abound. That and letting creators like Nomura do what they want.
It's just a bit ridiculous that they start chickening out now after all these years (I'm talking about localisations).

Though Nomura brought me quite a few good games over the generation and they've all been localised, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt.

They're more afraid to take the risk on handheld localizations now after the last couple batches bombed and SEJ won't offer support.

Anything pertaining to Versus. Even a shitty trailer would be preferable over complete silence as then I could finally put to bed the idea of Versus being the Final Fantasy series' redemption.

They're kidding, right? When a company has to ask when the answer is so blantantly obvious, there are numerous right answers to choose from, AND the fans are giving away the answers that's when you know something is wrong.

Dragon Quest localizations (probably SE not the right company to ask this. it's Nintendo)
Theatrhythm: Dragon Quest 3DS
Final Fantasy VI-IX-XII remakes for 3DS
ActRaiser for Wii U
Final Fantasy XV by Level-5 for Wii U
And of course, Soul Reaver 4

Dragon Quest VII American release, Dragon Quest X American release, Bravely Default to the US, and an announcement of FFVI 3DS remake.
 
I'm not confident that SE wouldn't ruin a FFVII remake. The art differences in Cloud over the years, combined with how Lightning is supposed to be Cloud 2.0, show that they don't know what made FFVII a great game in the first place. Does anyone by chance have the image that analyzed these two art pieces? I can't find it.

225px-Cloud_Strife_art.jpg
175px-Cloud_Dissidia_Artwork.png

The gist of the analysis was that picture 1 shows an active, battle-ready, confident Cloud, while the second picture shows a depressed, sulken, emaciated Cloud. The first picture is from FFVII official art, the second is from Dissidia official art.

Not sure i'd want just a remaster of Vagrant Story to revitalise it in HD, but i'd definitely like a sequel (even gone so far as to think of suitable titles like Wanderer's Return)

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
As for wishes? Well since SE published the last console iteration, a new console Grandia game wouldn't go amiss, we need to see one of the best turn-based battle systems in action once again (and don't make the story terrible like G3).

This goddamnit. We need another Grandia!

Or at least use its battle engine in another game or something.

PSP titles from 2011, their Vita title and 3DS titles.
I forgot about the PSP titles bombing. Didn't only BBS manage to sell over 1 million worldwide? And similar numbers were repeated on the 3DS with DDD?

Though one must question what sort of expectations did they have with titles as Lord of Arcana or that Army Corps of Hell title for the Vita or Heroes of Ruin or Theatherythm on the 3DS.

Also shouldn't it be SCEA and SCEE that would offer support rather than SCEJ?

SEJ = Square Enix Japan. As for expectations... they were probably unrealistic.

Wasn't Chrono Trigger considered "a failure" at half a million units? What in the FUCK does SE honestly expect from some of these? CT's numbers right there sound like a mind blowing success for an older game updated mildly and ported to DS, I kind of expect most of those Sony HD collections don't do half of that.

I don't remember... but I guess people didn't buy enough for a sequel.
 

YAWN

It sold 790,000 units (490,000 Japan - 240,000 North America - 60,000 Europe).

Oh sorry, that makes much more sense :)

Yeah the expectations are truly the big fault of the SE management. Although I'm sure they weren't happy with the sales of XIII-2 with their expectations and we're getting a sequel nonetheless, so we can see Lightning has power even over Wada!

You? Personally? Could be anything! Could even be a boat.

Well not me specifically, but their fans in general. I mean, it's pretty obvious what they want. It's been heavily discussed these last few weeks and S-E haven't even shown any of the damn game since early 2011.

Me personally.
- The obvious
- Bravely default
- Dragon Quest 10
- News on a new KH

Ah. Might as well say stuff, even though I'm feeling rather skeptical that they'll care.

I can't even remember my SQEX Members login... :x

...how do you navigate this newfangled site.

Do they remember what a Quintet is? Because I want to ask for a Quintet collection. :|
 
I've never actually noticed the cracks in the Buster Sword before in that VII artwork. That's kinda neat.

On topic, I can't think of much to ask of Square-Enix, because they'd likely find some way to fuck it up.

lol this image is so dumb. The head thing is damn silly, Cloud isn't staring forward cause EVERY hero in Dissida is faced looking towards the left. A reference to old school FF games where the heroes are on the right looking left while the villain is on the left looking right (which is why the villains in Dissida are looking to the right.)

I don't like Cloud and this image still bothers me.

That's a loaded question, lol.

Versus news, seriously. Kingdom Hearts 3, the fuck is it? And release Final Fantasy X HD faster. That's pretty much what I want.

Why do I get the feeling Square will compile these fan requests and do the exact opposite of what they say?
