A few comments from Nomura on FFVII:R

Square Enix sure loves Final Fantasy I, IV, VII, X, and XIII, don't they?

Meanwhile III, VI, IX, and XII are the redheaded stepchildren and II, V, VIII, XI, and XIV are the love-it-or-hate-it games with unique battle systems and level up mechanics. Has anyone else noticed this?

Final Fantasy VI


Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy 6 had the unique esper bonus mechanic.
 
I haven't felt his sexually confused since I realized I'd bone Richard Dawkins

Easy fellas, no need to fight lol. We're all just trying to save the world right? Eh? Eh?

XII is a great game, my second favorite! It will definitely come out in HD before this so....

That last Nomura statement was epic.
 
IM SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

I know! Isn't Richard positively dreamy?!

Lol kidding aside, I was hoping we'd get some production stills or something from the project today. So is this supposed to be a full fledged remake with fully 3D visuals or is more like RE:Make with static rendered backgrounds and 3D characters on top?
 
lol he trolled people yet again by showing mobile KH before moving on to KH3.

Dude is a real legend and I think people love him now.lol
It was funny because the crowd was hooting and hollering as the mobile game came up and as soon as it was obvious it was a mobile game, I swear that even from the stream you could 'feel' the crowd kinda go, 'Oh shit, he's doing it to us AGAIN!'

They don't expect the remake on its own to "save" the PS4. They're just trying to put together a lineup that could help it

Star Ocean V
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
The World of Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts 3
Dragon Quest Heroes
Dragon Quest Heroes 2
Nier 2

This can also potentially show other publishers/developers that they should have confidence in the system as well and start to release major properties for it. Whether or not it works remains to be seen. But there's no doubt that Square is putting all their weight into trying to make it work. And that's all anyone can really ask of them.

That's a lot of mid/big-budgeted output from SE for 1 platform.

Do people really believe that this will have a major impact on console sales in Japan?

I'd love to believe it, but I'm not so sure that this game has the same pull it did 20 years ago...

How can people act like XII HD would be anywhere near this big of a deal? No fucking way.


I can't believe it was in development last year. Fucking lol
 
Shut your goddamn mouth. XII's battle system is the best in the series.

Its AI system was interesting on paper, but my god were actual battles boring as shit. Program your characters well enough and you don't have to lift a finger outside of some boss battles. It made exploration a complete slog.
 
Speaking of which where is my god damn PC version of 13-3??! I actually want to play that one.

Your not missing much by not playing it...

Back on topic. I'm happy to hear Nomura is alive and well after all the crazy FFXV news surrounding him. Also happy to hear SE trying to reinvigorate the console market in their own country with this game, hopefully it works out.

Yea FFXII was a huge disappointment personally

do you mean combat or story.. or both, if both i think i've finally found people who are like me.
I disliked 12 because it was nothing like FF tactics, which is what i expected from an ivalice title. I liked the designs, but man the story did nothing for me like FFT did.

Lol if you think FF7's battle system > FF12's

FF12's problem was that everyone could do everything. The turbo button and classes in IZJS greatly boosted its quality. It could do with some class balancing/system overhauls but at its base it's got far better gameplay than FF7.

Vaan and Penelo are garbage characters, though.

First off Hashimoto redeemed.

Second, this game has been in development for AT LEAST 6 months?! niceeeee
If they actually stick to an efficient schedule, maybe they'll hit a 2017 release...alongside Shenmue 3.

The PS4 will become one of the greatest consoles in gaming history.
 
One of my problems with XII was the story, just didn't feel like a Final Fantasy story to me, felt more like a Final Fantasy Tactics story, but that makes sense since it's set in Ivalice. this brings me to my second problem with it, It's using the Ivalice from FFTA, the inferior Ivalice.

At times I forgot I was playing a mainline FF game, I thought I was playing an elaborate Final Fantasy Tactics, Ivalice game.

Gameplay (Minus everyone being a carbon copy), acting, graphics, designs, all were top notch. Just lacked a story in my opinion. I'll still happily play a IZJS HD since it fixes my gameplay problems with the game.

Even ignoring that the basic idea of the quest is to crossdress to fool someone to basicaly sexual assault you and how wrong is this, wasn't this quest also ridiculously homophobic ?

I actualy don't believe it is possible to remake that scene without SD characters and don't be ridiculously offensive
 
Though not much to go on, these comments are giving me confidence in the remake. Sounds like Nomura, Kitase, and Nojima are all psyched to do it before they ride off into the sunset, they're keeping the silliness in, and hopefully Nomura can take solace for the Versus debacle in delivering one of the most anticipated games of all time.
 
So here's a question:

Which would have made GAF happier? FF7HD or FF12HD?

It's like picking between my two favourite children. Nooo.

...I think I would have chosen FF12HD. What kind of monster have I become? (Apparently the kind of monster that can pick between two favourite gaming children.)

I'd love if they improved the combat of FFXII.. the only FF game I couldn't bother to finish because it was just so boring.
