I think Square Enix more dramatically separating out their business divisions was the right call.

Tabata and BD2 getting to make a new IP/series that follows up on the designs of Final Fantasy XV will allow fans of that style of game to actually get an ongoing series instead of it just being thrown to the wind like the Final Fantasy XII fan base was.

That's happening?

 

[doemaaan]

I definitely want another console release for the Ivalice universe, but I'd like the class roles to play a bigger role than in vanilla XII.

 

[120v]

let me tell you about this game called ff14 getting an ivalice raid series written by matsuno

Matsuno is already working with Square again on "Return to Ivalice", a raid event for FFXIV. Does that not seem to set a precedent for Matsuno to be involved with a new game if they were to make one? He could be writing the story and doing game design on such a game and let Hiroyuki Ito direct.

that's cool, i had no idea matsuno was involved (never got really into FF14)

i'd always just assumed the bridge was burned and he'd never work with SE again. promising that that isn't the case

 

[benzy]

That's happening?

BD2 and Advanced Technology Division are already hiring for designers and programmers to start technical test and gameplay experiments for it.

 

[Lynx_7]

Here's my feedback: consult Matsuno for script and ideas (I doubt he'd want to direct) and make another Tactics game set on Ivalice.

 

[djplaeskool]

Vagrant Story.
Do it.

 

[Ray Down]

That's happening?

From the sounds of it yes.

They may even be doing something with Agni.

 

[Mivey]

This time with a story that actually focuses on Vaan, please.

Spoiler

Said no one ever.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I don't really care about a game being set in Ivalice, I just want their games to be good and have that classic feel.

 

[Setzer]

I'm willing to give feedback, consult me.

Here's a free advice: Ignore everything you've learned from FFXV.

.

 

[Neff]

I own three Ivalice games and have put down money for an imminent fourth. I'll gladly take a fifth. Is that feedback enough?

Bring the Janitor into Direct and let Matsuno write a concept and co write a scenario with Alexander O Smith.?

 

[Philippo]

So its to late for it to be XVI...

That's pretty interesting. I guess Luminous isn't dead? To be honest considering the amount of time they put into getting it working for XV it did seem like a bit of waste to just scrap everything. Suppose they could still be switching to a different engine regardless though. Good news either way.

 

[MoogleMan]

How about a true final fantasy tactics sequel?
That'd be nice...

 

[Lynx_7]

Ito directing and Matsuno writing the concepts would be the ideal scenario. Alexander O. Smith would work on the localization.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

You are Germonique, a young mercenary from the Holy Ydoran Empire, and your mission is to assassinate Ajora Glabados, a cult leader with mysterious, dark magic powers.

 

[Athreous]

Either Tactics Remake or Vagrant Story remaster

 

[True Fire]

Tactics

[zerokoolpsx]

Give us Tactics 2.

 

[Neptonic]

Tactics 2 baby

 

[rockmanjoe]

If they can get Matsuno on board, then sure. Without him, don't bother.

 

[Osukaa]

The only Ivalice I want is the Final Fantasy Tactics Universe. I mean a True Final Fantasy Tactics sequel or in the same universe. I really didn't like the Ivalice setting in Final Fantasy XII. It just wasn't interesting to me. I didn't like the old style setting with the futuristic ships and stuff. Usually that stuff doesn't bother me as I don't mind that kind of setting in other games but personally for me it was just not interesting in this FFXII.

Yes to Tactics Ivalice NO to anything to do with FFXII Ivalice.

Anyone else feel the same way??

Yasumi Matsuno.

for example: The large sci-fi type airship in FF12, was a designer's idea, not his at all

 

[Lulubop]

If they do another Tactics game it'd pretty much have to be a prequel set during the 50 years war

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

FF16, set in Ivalice, new Story/Characters, battle system and world design like FF12. Done. Pls.

I also greatly prefer Tactics Ivalice over XII's, but I'm pretty sure the latter was also designed by Matsuno? I guess we'll never know the extent of the changes when they shifted directors, but I always assumed the setting stayed largely the same as originally intended by Matsuno and the story was what suffered the most.

Yasumi Matsuno.

I learned something new today lol

 

[Eylos]

OMG tactics please pleaseplease

 

[Sydle]

Amazing. Would love to see more of Ivalice.

I will keep praying a similar statement is made about returning to FFIX's world.

FF16, set in Ivalice, new Story/Characters, battle system and world design like FF12. Done. Pls.

This.

 

[SynthFetish]

We could destroy all of Ivalice if we willed it...

 

[Crankshaft]

Final Fantasy Tactics 2. You can even go cheap and use FF12 assets. Just recycle 12 with a tactics battle system.

[UnlimitedRulebook]

Welp. Guess I'm buying 5 copies

 

[Nauren]

Final Fantasy Tactics please!!!!!!!!!

 

[Juxo]

I'm sure everyone would agree another Vagrant Story and playing as a Riskbreaker is the correct choice here.

Either a remake, remaster or a full blown sequel would make me very happy.
Still have the original PS1 disc, but the delay every time you need to use the menu is an absolute killer.

 

[Matticers]

Final Fantasy Tactics 2 PLEASE

This. Give us some nice new graphics and maybe get Balthier/Fran involved somehow. Mix in some nice classic music. Game of the forever.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

St. Ajora game?

 

[MogCakes]

YES? YES. YES PLEASE!

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Tactics 2

There it is

 

[Sub_Level]

I'm sure everyone would agree another Vagrant Story and playing as a Riskbreaker is the correct choice here.

Can we play as a guy who wears pants and doesn't have antenna hair this time?

 

[ultra7k]

FFT 2 please, and no FFT Advance please and thank you.

And a whole lot of Matsuno having his way.

Dozens of us.

 

[Plywood]

Only if they get Matsuno on board, which has already been echoed in this thread. Wouldn't mind another Ivalice game in XII-era and FFT2, but I'm being greedy.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

It'd be a waste not to continue it. You've got a dedicated team who have spent months polishing up this hybrid engine and making experimental DLC for it. There's no reason to jump ship on all the resources poured in. As much as everyone joking calls FFXV a "fantasy based on feedback" I have a feeling the BD2 could do something really special on what they've learned from FFXV.

 

[jiggle]

Can they bring back matsuno and yoshida though

D:

 

[Bolivar687]

I just want another game by Ito. If Minagawa is still there and they can contract Sakimoto and Yoshida, I'm all in. Matsuno would be the cherry on top but those guys can get it done either way.

 

[duckroll]

It's already happening though. Matsuno, Yoshida, Minagawa, and Ivalice will be back in a few months....

 

[jackal27]

We're almost there friends. Keep praying.

Final Fantasy Tactics 2.

 

[Zetta]

They need to make FFXVI take place in Ivalice but to be honest I'll settle for whatever as long as it takes place in Ivalice.

Oh dear lord this is heart breaking.
