Capcom should make a Final Fantasy fighting game

[Rez09]

I don't know what the title of the game should be, though. Any suggestions?

Joking aside, I have to agree with Tori about Square likely not wanting to share its toys, though Capcom DID manage to strike up a deal with SNK while the two were heated rivals in the fighting game market, so who knows what is possible.

That said, I don't think I'd want Capcom making a Final Fantasy fighting game, at least not like their traditional Vs. series. I feel the series' pacing would match up poorly with the FF license, as Golbez flying in for a long aerial chain to swap to Vivi for a super just doesn't seem right to me.

What I would love to see, however, is something more along the lines of a party fighter like BlayzBloo, Bleach Blade Battlers 2, or Power Stone, preferably a mix of the three is possible. The games are generally pretty quick to pick up and play, would be able to take great advantage of unique locations and items from the various FF titles, and, as BB2 showed, can still offer plenty of fighting game depth despite player expectation. Imagine Garland flying around on a red chocobo, raining down meteors, while three other players fight in the middle of the FF8 parade over a Spoon that dropped from a random crate.

I'd play that.

Or fighting on the Lethe River raft in magitek armor while Ultros tries to grab people.

Capcom had a great thing going with Power Stone and I'm sure they could do a lot to improve the formula if they went back to it now, and the FF license would be great for it.
