I can only hope that they can pull off the return to 2D roots as well as A Link Between Worlds did.

If this happened, it would not only ignite this very message board with furious speculation as to the future of the Final Fantasy series, but also turn the trend towards 3D games on its ear.
I've always felt that the idea of a 3D game world being shown on a 2D screen is just axiomatically clunky by its very nature. It was fine when 2D games were trying to give the illusion of 3D, because the control scheme wasn't affected (see Stage 2-1 of Ninja Gaiden 2 for an example of what I'm talking about...Megaman: Maverick Hunter X is a more modern example). But trying to give a 3D control scheme to what is still (and likely is always going to be) a strictly 2D playing field has just ruined the immersion for me. Not to mention, it's expensive and time consuming to render textures in 3D.
Plus, if Nobuo is jazzed for it, then there's a very good chance that the music for it is going to be world-endingly awesome.
Want. WANT.
WAAAAAAAAAAANT
If you don't think aesthetics or platforming are important in games then this is fine, but I think they have their place and really enhance the experience for a lot of games.Quote:
