Will you be mad if it's not a true RPG?

[SadisticStreetSoldie]

I'd like it to be a mostly RPG-action game actually because I always found it annoying whenever you get pulled into a random encounter. It always takes my characters' ATBs forever to get filled. If the fighting is anything like Resident Evil's (with no ATBS but with the commands on the screen while you fight) I'll be most happy

[aeris2001x2]

if it uses anything like the ffX-2 chaos or KH combat i will be VERY ANNOYED. ffX-2 was a bad sequel because it was not like ffX. so any ffVII sequel that lacks the ffVII spirit will annoy me.

however thats just because i,m a tradionalist and am very scared of all these pseudo real time rpgs like ffX-2, and KH starting a horrible down ward trend of quality in order to sell more copies. imho FF should stay turn based, or even better just keep ffIV-IX ATB.

tht said though, if the story is good then as long as the combat is not Vagrant Story bad, i will like it.

Talking about FF Dying, and the New Ideas to keep it alive. This game could be definitly good, but it´s easier to make a piece of crap like a sequel just to sell, than a true FF Sequel to satisfy VII nostalgic players. I would love to see something like Metal Gear Solid mixed with zelda and a lot of FF elements together, that would made the perfect game, I didn´t even expected a Sequel !, I thin that an adventure sequel is not what we are waiting for, we want to bring that feeling again, not screw it shooting soldiers.

The concept of the RPG is becoming rather dated. Rather, the world seems filled with adventure-RPGs, action-RPGs, shooter-RPGs..hell I'm pretty sure I even heard the term Puzzle-RPG used to describe a game I don't quite remember.

What used to encompass the elements of the traditional RPG have now diminished. You no longer need a ATB bar, that much of a storyline or *gasp* a mute main character.

That having been said, I'm confortable with the adjustment and in fact, I adore the action-RPG. xD

When I first saw it, and heard it starred Vincent, I thought "Devil May Cry." And it seems like it might be such a game! Personally I loved Kingdom Hearts, and I just finished Tales of Symphonia. The game isn't great storywise, but has an incredibly fun and deep battle system. It's worth playing just for the battles...almost.

I'm an old school player. But FFVII is my favorite FF. But in SE Screws this one up like they did with FFx-2 They are going to get some complains from me. SE should keek it simple. MAKE A FFVII-2. I mean sure there's AC and BC. But for some reason DC(man what's with all the C's?) doesn't fall under the same category. Vincent is cool and all but Cloud is the coolest hands down. Long story short, SE better not mess this up!

[Starcrest]

but if cloud's the main character then it'd practicly be like ac only game form, and who else to have shooter type game then with one of the people who actually have a gun?

[luke webster]

Kingdom Hearts - good. FF VII - better.

Please let it be a real RPG...

[Bloody_Valentine]

I wont be dissapointed at all. If its got Vincent in a Devil May Cry-ish world, I think that will be awesome. Im really looking foward to it.

[Estes]

When everyone said DoC will probably play alot like DevilMayCry I was scared, you see i had never played DMC so i was skeptical. I had heard of DMC, I have seen its great reviews but i have just never gotten around to playing it. so today i went out to EB games and bought a used copy for $10 and let me say that i would love to see vincent in this kind of game. The controls are so perfect and the gameplay is well thought out i hope that DoC is alot like it in terms of controls. but as for story i am expecting a VERY and i mean VERY well thought out FF worthy story to go along with all of this action. now if you'll excuse me im gonna go play some DMC right now .

[Xander]

I'd rather it was a good old RPG. I like KH as an action-RPG but I'd prefer FF's to stick to how they work best.

[chionos]

I hope it's action-based. If it was going to be just a regular ol' rpg, they might as well just friggin remake ff7 like everyone wants them to. I think all the changes that SE's been making lately shows a lot of promise. It shows me they're still vital.

[Silent Warrior]

Hm... A real sequel to FF7? I'll be damned! I thought the ending rounded things up well enough. *Shrug* Oh well, it ain't my game to make. I do get a bad feeling about making Vincent the lead - he doesn't seem like that type. With that said, I don't believe making a good game with that idea is impossible, I just haven't noticed all that much in Square's storytelling that shows they're definitely, surely capable of it. I'll be keeping my eyes open.

As for action-RPG... I really don't feel that's very Final Fantasy-like. Time will tell... *Worried* As for real RPG or not, I don't consider ANY FF to be a real RPG, so I guess that particular question doesn't matter much to me.

Whee! The only known-to-me documented resident non-fan of FF on an FF-forum (me) is back on the ball!

[Lon611]

yah, il probably enjoy DoC immensely(?), but not to the same extent if it were an RPG. but then again, SE could always do something completely differen't than we're expecting, so don't lose hope.

i didn't like the KH system, and if DoC is like that, il get bored quick.....maybe

[aeris2001x2]

yeah, i really do not understand why KH is worshipped so much , i,m mystified.
