Thread: Final Fantasy with comic book-style superpowers?

    Default Final Fantasy with comic book-style superpowers?

    Would you like to see a future Final Fantasy game featuring characters with comic book-style superpowers?
    Is that your final answer?

    Junctioning, the Sphere Grid and Materia make it pretty easy to give characters de facto superpowers. A lot of the characters' in-game antics are superhuman even without abusing the battle system: punching giant robots in the face, suplexing a train, leaping or falling impossible distances, defeating an army tank with a sword, that kind of thing.

    If anything, I'd like to see a Final Fantasy where the characters' strength is a little more down-to-earth. I like rooting for the underdog, and it's great to see heroes triumphing through sheer dedication, determination and ingenuity rather than by unstoppable martial might.

    When I think comic book style super powers I think woefully inconsistent and constantly changing to the writers whims. So in that case no.

    The fact that they can use magic and perform all kinds of other crazy skill kind of puts them in the same league, IMO.

    I would like to see SE make a comic-book styled RPG. Not Final Fantasy, mind you, but a new IP. Although with their financial situation, I don't think new IPs will be around for awhile.


    "It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
    Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
    That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero.
    "

    Do you think the Japanese would even be interested in that? That's why I was saying yes and no. Yes I would like to see something like that happen, but I don't think Square could do it well.

    When I said comic book superpowers, I was thinking about superhero teams like the Avengers, the JLA, the X-Men, the Outsiders, etc.
    Is that your final answer?

    X-Men
    Fast regeneration? Regen

    Teleportation? warp

    Stormy Weather? Thunder and Geomancers

    Absorbing the abilities of others and Stealing essence? Lancet/blue magic/Drain/Ozmose/copycat

    Cyclops' Lazer Eyes? Quistis' Lazer Eyes

    I think FF is pretty much set in the super powers department.
    Also stop bumping your old threads.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    I can totally imagine Paine as catwoman .

    But seriously I don't like the idea much. It wouldn't be a final fantasy then after all.

    Final Fantasy characters only have a few of those powers, but I'd still like to see more of them with some of the powers shown in the list on the link below:
