Square Enix confirms a new Final Fantasy title for PS4 this E3

Doesnt really need a reset in that every FF main series title is different anyway. Either way, just get a different team on it. Needs some new input like how Yoshi-P has done with XIV.

And besides, they need to remake V and VI first...

Yeah. Reset's a bit of a strong word. I'd like an actual XV basically.
 
Wish we had Type series, it was basically going to be it's own subseries and follow that spiritual successor model. New world, story, concepts, the whole shabang. And not be limited to anything. Got me excited since it sounded promising but we got sparks of Lightning instead.

And how many copies would that sell now? After selling a crap ton of copies of FF12/-2 on 360 it's mad to think future games won't be multi platform.

FFXIII/-2 sold the vast majority of copies on PS3. A PS4 FF - especially if released within a reasonable time would of course do well enough.
 
With the PS4 being really close to the PC, and reports of Durango being similar (IIRC a anyway), multi should be really easy for most games. Would be silly not to do it.
 
Having the 2nd Square Enix guy some out and that slight pause during his talk was 2nd only to Final Fantasy 14 online in my history of in a super short amount of time going from super super hyped to hating Square Enix.


I hope its good though. Loved the colourful world of XIII but the actual game and characters just didnt do it for me at all.


My bet is on some kind of horrible dark Final Fantasy Skyrim though.
 
If SQEX did make a new franchise for the next gen consoles, it won't be released until at least 2 - 3 years into the life span, anyway... So that there is a strong enough user base to justify it, I guess.

Either way, what a joke of a company now.

Indeed. They also are a 3rd party company and I remember them saying how they felt they were really behind on multiplatform development.

They came out with The Last Remnant pretty early.

People should be looking forward to this.I really think the new game is going to be incredible. Toriyama's people are, and have been, too busy with the FFXIII saga to get their filthy little hands anywhere near this one. Nomura's people are busy with Versus, the FFXIV people are busy with that; there is literally only one person left to be leading this PS4 title......Get hype.
Click to expand...

You are right.
It's definitely Yusuke Naora's time!
 
I'd laugh so damn hard if it turns out to be the FFX HD. So so damn hard! But! I'm hoping we get something completely new. Which will take another 7 years to make and when the PS5 is announced, we'll get another NEW Final Fantasy game announcement for it.


But it's probably FFXIV.

Kagari save us :( :( :( :(
 
People seriously think this is anything but Versus renamed to FFXV?

Yusuke Naora is an artist, not a director, where do you people get these rumors.

FFX HD is a PS3/Vita title. You don't need to worry.
It's not XIV either, although that game showing up on the PS4 eventually would not be surprising.

be easier if square makes it sound exclusive just to see how far microsoft can stretch their wallet for fun.
 
Pyscho_Mantis said:
I dunno....FF14 and Versus make me think that Square may choose exclusivity if PS4 is an astounding success or moneyhatted.
Click to expand...
FF14 isn't console exclusive because SE wants it to be, it was running in 360 before it was even running on PS3. MS is the reason why it isn't on there now.

They are preparing to develop a new Final Fantasy using the Luminous Studio just now. The trailer at E3 will be the concept trailer, like we saw for XIII and Versus in 2006. Forget about the game till at least 2015.

XIV - July 2013
LR - Nov 2013
Versus - Mar 2014
FFXV - Fall 2015 or later.

Difference here is that when concept trailers for XIII & VsXIII were shown in mid-2006 the troubled White Engine wasn't even near finished yet. I recall reading that actual game development on FFXIII didn't even start until late 2007/early 2008 (could be wrong here).

My understanding is that Luminous is much further along in a comparable time period, so if they can start actual game development on FFXV/XVI this year they could likely have something out by holiday 2014.

You could still be right about 2015, though. Even if S-E is on their game this new gen I can still see them dragging ass and not getting the next mainline FF (post-XIV) out for another 2+ years. :/

So it's probably safe to assume two things with this.

1) Versus (As is or relabeled as FFXV) or
2) A new Final Fantasy game all around.





Interesting times. But that will lead to the BIG question of, exclusive or multi plat.

Something like actual development starting after they had the demo completed. Essentially, the game was in limbo till a year before release.

New FF it is. I put my faith with that statement.
 
I'm still amazed by that delivering. The guy seemed like he was doing this best to build up to a dramatic reveal, then "Please look forward to E3. Bye."

So either Agni's, Versus, or something new.

I'm game.
 
Seeing how Final Fantasy has performed on XBOX360, it isn't out of the question that S-E releases an exclusive Final Fantasy game early in the generation for PS4. Since both platforms' installed bases will be relatively small, and also, if announced early enough as an exclusive, those who want to play it will buy the console it's on anyway.

You could tell Hashimoto was shaking in his boots.

Agni or new is more likely. ;)
 
Sorry to ask, but the demo we saw during the feed, was it running on PS4 (simulated via PC) with the estimation of less than 4GB for actual game development?

Probably, considering pretty much every developers did not know about the bump.

I watched the video again and they said a few times it was running on PS4. Now if that's true or they just reused their old video... it's hard to say. I'll see what I can find out.
 
I have trouble believing they'll have something that doesn't amount to a CG trailer ready that early. We probably won't see it hit the system until 2015.

It was a joke.



That said, artists can't be directors?
Look at Nomura.


Naora helped conceptualize the story and characters of an original game with Nojima that would eventually be turned into FFX. He was also the lead producer and story designer of the Code Age project back in 2005.
The guy is amazingly talented.

Well, the previous thread got locked (but it was more about the Agni Demo).

So yeah, Shinji Hashimoto announced that there will be a new Final Fantasy title for PS4 coming this E3.

Nice, i loved the art and style in FF 15 Agnes, cant wait to see more

No more crappy FF13 tech style i hate

The graphics are out of this world too

My thoughts too. Vs., I think, will still launch at some point, but the big show and the big reveal for E3 will be FFXV and it definitely won't be Vs. Possible Vs. at TGS under either another name or just dropping "XIII" from the title.
