I do just wanna say XIII-2 was a good, clever game. Just not a good ff game.
My general feeling is that I grew up while Final Fantasy didn't. It's stuck in the young adult section and that's fine, I don't expect it to move from there.All the way up through the PS2 days, for my Final Fantasy was pretty much the Mecca of JRPGs. Each entry was greatly anticipated and I'd count the days to their release. Now, while I will always buy Final Fantasy games and always keep one eye on what Square has planned next, it's more mild interest. I know there is a decent contingent of people who liked the XIII trilogy and liked XV, but the consensus seems to be that those titles are inferior to the titles of previous gens. So if you're in that boat, do you feel that FF can one day return to days of previous glory or do you think that true greatness is lost forever or changed forever and this is what FF will be now for the foreseeable future?
Or maybe you are in the camp where you love where it is now and don't get those who think the series isn't as good as it used to be.
So i take everyone here complaining about FF post 10/12 etc. WONT be buying 16 riiiight? Nope. Everyones gonna fall for the hype and gorgeousness, again. Send them the message folks. Make 16 (or 7 remake) the lowest sales yet
Granted as long as they appeal and capture the general populace, people will still buy FF based off the name and nostalgia.
The originals of 5, 6, and 7 are on PSN already. The PSP remakes of 1, 2 and 4 are there as well, which are just the originals with HD sprites.Final Fantasy ended for me at 7. Really wish they would release 1-7 on Xbox live or PSN. The originals please. Not the mobile remakes.
Did you try bravely default? Many agree that it was SEs return to classic FFs jobs and all just under a different name. I hear the seconds great but haven't gotten to it.I think a few are saying the same but will chirp in nonetheless...
Final Fantasy has for me, always been close to my heart. From starting with FFVI and then revisiting old games and playing on the PSOne games I kind of stalled with FFX. I finished the game, but found it lacking something... I don't quite know what it was... but it was still lacking. I couldn't click with FFXII despite every attempt and this continued through the series. FFXIII was okay, but I found myself always wanting more than it could give...
I saw FFXV as a bit of a failure. Not because its a 'bad' game like some have said. But because it just doesn't feel very Final Fantasy... it sacrifices its story and for nothing particularly interesting in return.
My one wish, more than anything, is for them to start a new spin off series of Final Fantasy games. Something like Final Fantasy Classic and make them exactly like the PSOne games were, bring back the ATB, FMV's, NO voice acting, make them download only if need be... but make the stories good, the gameplay fun, and give me random battles again, fuck the haters!
Anyway, as a series, I think it needs FFXVI (however it comes) to be a monster hit. If not, I can't see it lasting any longer...
I understand skipping 8, but 9? Really? I've not beaten most more than once but 9 I'd say I beat it 3 times and played to various lengths about 8 counting the completesFinal Fantasy ended for me at 7. Really wish they would release 1-7 on Xbox live or PSN. The originals please. Not the mobile remakes.
Are any of those playable on PS4?The originals of 5, 6, and 7 are on PSN already. The PSP remakes of 1, 2 and 4 are there as well, which are just the originals with HD sprites.
Hmm afraid not, unless you want to count the PC version of 7 ported over.Are any of those playable on PS4?
Xenoblade series though no gambits. That system was greatI've only played X, XII, XIII (and sequels) and XV so I might not be an experienced FF player but, to me, X and XII are two of the greatest games ever made. XIIIs were OK and XV is a good game but not a good FF. I would die for a new game similar to XII.
I am looking forward to the FF7 remake to see what the fuss has been all about throughout the years.
It's weird how opinions differ on FF. I think X is one of the worst. It's like XIII, but worse in every aspect.
Octopath traveler, bravely default. Its literally what people miss about FF, but ignore themWas waiting for a huge revival with 15, sold it immediately after beating it and concluded that Square no longer understands what made Final Fantasy games great (and haven't for quite some time)
If it wasn't for the upcoming 7 remake, the franchise would basically be dead to me. 13 was a trainwreck that I feel plays a bit better now, 12 was ok but very forgettable for me, 10-2 was literally a joke and 10 was the last time I felt like they were trying to deliver what people wanted out of a FF. It was good but not their best effort.
I wish square would take a fucking chance and let a team develop a modern epic RPG with 2d graphics. Go easy on the tech ffs, and just deliver something akin to your best work.
