What Final Fantasy did you hate?

My first FF game was FFIII on DS. I also played around in FFX and FFIX, but didn't get into it.

 

[Teknoman]

DQSwords has it, so I bet they will. Maybe some gesturing for like super attacks.

Hmm I wouldnt mind that. Wish I could find DQVII NA for a good price though. Only way i'll ever get to play that is if they do a port, PSN release, or remake.

 

[Pojo]

NMH2 is the proof you are wrong; while the original game didn't set any chart on fire, it sold enough to warrant a sequel and gained the title of the best selling Suda game.

Maybe because it was the only good one?

I am going to piss off a lot of people.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

DQ goes to the largest userbase. It's always been like that.

Good point.

 

[DCharlie]

Looks beautiful in motion! Nothing looks good in screens for Wii.

erm - i'd say the other way round - in screens it made it look a lot better.
But in person - it didn't look too hot (to me at least)

anyways, going Wii makes sense, but for me personally? i'd prefer the game was going a slightly different direction.

 

[ReiGun]

:lol Guess I got a little carried away ha

 

[Septimus]

sweet

I actually hope they use the DQVIII engine <3

Me too. The world map in 8 is still fucking impressive to this day. Pointer is gonna be sweet for the menu and customizing but please please do NOT have any waggle combat!

 

[cvxfreak]

I wonder if SE will do something with DQVII and DQVIII so Nintendo gamers can get into those.

DQVII seems like it has a decent chance coming to DS.

 

[Jigsaw]

the game comes out in...2011? and will look worse than valkyria chronicles,eternal sonata & tales of vesperia...wow

since square is multiplatform now,i hope for an hd version :\

 

[bdouble]

Oh it will. Dunno where some people come out of left field with the idea that the Wii is somehow weaker than the PS2.

I think its more ridiculous that they think SE won't push the hardware technically. I've been saying since FFCCCB was announced that it will probably be one of the best looking Wii games no matter when its released. Same goes for this.

makes me want to take advice from you av.

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Why not do a retro remake like MM9?

Which was awesome, so you agree with me?

Good graphics never hurt anyone.

So a game needs to have "technically" good graphics to have "good graphics"? I said that I'd prefer it to be on the same level as Dragon Quest VIII. Having cutting edge graphics would seem like an inconsistent overkill.

 

[AniHawk]

I don't think DQX would take such a long time to make. They have DQVIII and DQS to work off of. Still, probably 2-3 years off at this point.

Hope is a nice thing.

 

[Evlar]

So some of us have been discussing these past few days how none of the "AAA" third-party developers are working on Wii. How's that argument proceeding, eh?

EDIT: I see Link conceded back on page 10. Good show!

 

[donny2112]

Not anymore. If they're going to remake it, Enix is too smart to pass up putting it on the Wii to prepare the way for DQX. I don't think DQVIII will get remade, yet, since it's only a generation behind, though.

 

[Pachael]

is the generation over?

If there was any doubt, there shouldn't be any left.

 

[Jirotrom]

it will most likely be cel-shaded, and quite honestly the cel-shaded games look just fine regardless the system.

 

[Danthrax]

Or worse, waggle QTEs.

Keep 'em coming

 

[lucablight]

I'm disappointed. I would have preferred this to be on the PS3 so that it could have taken advantage of its hardware. Looks like I'll have to get a Wii now. Hopefully there will be a price drop by the time this comes out.

Well, I'll suggest Chrono Trigger if you like a relaxing RPG (it's great, on the easy side).

Also you should try DQ4, as DQ games are much different from FFs, if you don't like DQ4, you should give up on the series.

 

[PantherLotus]

Is now a bad time to point out that whole PantherLotus "the Wii will get huge Japanese Exclusives, but not Western" thing?

I got banned for that shit by people that didn't want to hear it. Too soon?

Edit: Oh, you're talking about Link. :lol

Japanese developers have been much smarter this generation when it comes to recognizing, and planning to take advantage of, the Wii's dominance. Western pubs, for all their technical know-how, are seriously lacking much in the way of business sense.

cant say much for FFIII but i'll tell you out of all the FF games I've played FFX is my least favorite followed by FF9, as a matter of fact i truly dislike those games.

 

[Jonnyram]

Real talk. I wonder why they decided to move from DS to Wii, given the anticipation for IX and the huge userbase difference?

Possible ideas:
- not satisfied with the quality of the game they put on DS (held back by hardware limitations)
- not enough profit margins when considering DS cart cost, even if the sales are double
- money hats

Oh and Wada basically said the game (DQIX) is done now and he's relieved it's over. So we just have to wait three months for cart production :/

I tried to tell everyone that we were in a transition stage, but they didn't believe me.

I think its been pretty obvious that the Wii would get more announcements like this after MH and Tales Mothership. Plus pretty much all the smaller titles announced by 3rd parties this last year. People just forget about most of them but you can't miss DQ and MH.

::Looks at post history::

oh this should be good

 

[HyperZone<3]

DQX has gotta be far off. Like late 2010 the earliest. I can't imagine Square Enix putting out consecutive installments even relatively close to each other.

And if DQX really does come out in 2010/11, well, I feel better about WiiHD's backwards compatible status.









(just had a crazy thought)
what if DQX WAS for WiiHD? That would be the killingest launch title of all time!

Don't worry, it will be delayed and be a launch title for Wii HD. But the Wii version will still come out too.

Good. Fucking. Luck.

you are right,whos needs next gen celshading

Iwata's expression: "All is proceeding as I have forseen it."

The closer they get to Toriyama's art, the better. Games like Valkyrie On the Battlefield and Naruto Ninja Storm are just the tip of the iceberg. Can you imagine a cel-shaded game on the PS3 with DQs budget? Absolutely breathtaking, I'm sure.

i think it just goes with the pattern... there's been 1 DQ per system/generation ever since DQVII.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Oh yes this is why I'm staying up so late. :lol

Cmon now there is not hurt in hoping for an HD version. It'll look fine in SD and if they keep it simple and use what little more power they have correctly it should be ok in HD.

Why they decided to go exclusive is what is more interesting. I'd go as far as to say a port is likely at some point if waggle isn't a huge part of the gameplay. More platforms = more money and it shouldn't be a hard port.

 

[Askia47]

hmm, more reasons to possibly get a Wii.......

Dude, the Wii sold 800k units during Thanksgiving. Do you seriously believe a WiiHD will be out by 2011?

I'm not saying it will not happen, but that's too soon.

Most likely: Because by 2011/2012 the DS will be a dead system as the DS2 will be out. Wii just started so it's got another 3-4 years in it no problem.

Welp, this is about the best birthday present ever.

So awesome... :lol

Someone needs to Photoshop this so that a Wii pops out of the background wearing Captain Planet spandex. :lol
