Will this Phoenix Down the FF franchise?

[Jinx]

I remember when I was 15, talking about this game on the forum I used to frequent.

FF7 had just come out when I was 15.

I feel old now.

As for whether or not the game will reinvigorate the FF series, I think it's too early to tell.

Let's see...FFXII came out when I was 15.

Young'ins.

I was... 7 when VII came out. 11 when X came out. And now 23 when XV comes out.

It looks awesome, but I'm reserved about it too. I don't quite know if I like the battle style from what I've seen, and like Pete for President said, it's been too long without seeing or hearing anything for me to just jump on the hype train again.

>>> XV may lure in lots of ff7 fanboys and some new FF fans but I doubt it will be the FF savior.

How so? I'm not a particular VII fanatic, nor do I think this one is exceptionally similar to VII, but I am still excited. It's just that it looks very promising.

Whelp. I'm a FFIX/ FF VI fangirl and I might buy this game on release day. It looks incredible.

It was very smart of them to re-brand this game, and for the next main Final Fantasy title it looks incredible. I guess only time will tell if it is the saving grace of the company's image, it definitely has the potential!

Personally I'm very excited, hopefully I can afford a PS4 next year.

You know it's still probably a couple of years until this gets released, right? No need to rush

My first question is "what's the script like?"

Their stories have been getting pretty tired.

I remember reading that they wanted to start pumping out Final Fantasy every year like they used to. I think they pretty much have to release this next year or they really lose their chance to sell this.

[Del Murder]

Nope! Lightning Returns will be next year, and they probably still consider that a 'Final Fantasy' game. So don't expect this one until 2015.

I think the potential is there. It's not going to live up to fan expectations (because, y'know, people are expecting way too much). But after playing Type-0, I am starting to see some potential in this. Between Type-0 and games like Birth By Sleep, Square has definitely gotten the hang of Action RPG battle systems. The maps we've seen in the previews look open enough to allow for some serious exploration/immersion.

If the world building is anywhere near Square's best, this is probably going to be one heck of a game.

Part of my anger towards Square Enix is that they don't release the good games. From the sounds of it, I'd play the smurf out of Type-0 if it came out over here, but alas.

I'd get pumped for a Bushido Blade 4, Einhander 2, or a real sequel to Parasite Eve.


This? eh....
