Square taking it too far?
I mean making sequels of 10...and 7....I just dont get a good feel for this...what is next 12 -2...!?:rolleyes2
8-2?
Or maybe 6-2...which is as outrageous as 7-2...7 is an old game making a sequel of it is just wierd....
Do you feel me here?
what ever happend to final fantasy 1-10 now we are making new final fantasy games basied off of old final fantasy stories...how original.....where is FF 13 and FF14 and so on and so forth give me some new meat!!!
Final Fantasy VII left much to be desired after the final cutscene, and Final Fantasy X just sold well. VIII and VI wrapped up nicely and I think Square learned their lesson with X-2, so I doubt there'll be a XII-2.

X wasnt just a good sale, the ending left it open for a sequel. And yeah, they did learn their lesson from X-2. It was a huge profit, most especially in Japan.
My favorite things about sequels is that if you dont want the story expansion, you dont have to get it. I'm glad SE was open to fulfilling the wants of fans and giving them extra, it's too bad people incessantly complain about it like Square was forcing it upon them.
Not at all complaining ....I think that we are all just dumb enough to want to buy all these sequels with our money now...and I think that we will be silly enough to buy the sequel to ff-8 and ff-5 ect ect...I dont doubt that 8 wont have a sequel and if they did I dont doubt that people would buy it clear off the selves....Originally Posted by TheAbominatrix
Im ok with buying a new final fantasy game but buying a new final fantasy game simply because it appears to be new....no.
Making a new game from scraps isnt worth my money....I much rather see ff-13 or 14.....that deserves my money in my opinon.
I didnt mean you specifically, I mean everyone. It's really constant whining about the sequels for a most part.
It's not as though SE is ONLY making sequels now, so I really dont care. I, personally, am interested in story expansions, so I'll buy them. It isnt silly at all. If they started making sequels for games that didnt warrant them, that'd be silly. But they havent, and they arent. I'm really happy SE is making these games, filling in holes with them, and so on.
You certainly hide it well.

A very valid opinion. I want to hear some oppostion. Even though I am excited as heck about ff-7 I would have liked to be able to disagree with you. Because I want to see the opinions about this flow here...this thread is a corspe...oh well.
I thought the thread idea had potential. Atleast I heard one side about it, but it wasnt realy all to against my real and honest opinion at all...
Something to keep in mind about FFX-2, it was the obvious choice for a sequel from a development stand point. FFX was a great game, and was well received by the public, not to even mention the fact that they already had character and enemy models, as well as many of the different areas of the game from FFX to work with for a sequel. Basically allowing them to skip one of the most time consuming and expensive aspects of development. Actually I remember reading that it was done as a way to use previous FF creative assets to make a game that was less expensive than making one from scratch. I've seen plenty of rumors online over the last few years suggesting that Square-Enix basically needed to raise some extra capital after the merger. Whether that's true or not, it does kind of make sense given their current strategy of milking their cash cow franchises.
At the end of the day though, as far as why they're making sequels to FFVII: fans want them. They want to see more happen in that world. Granted there are a relative few who complain as loudly as possible about it, but at the end of the day, the games are still going to sell in the millions, because the fans want them. The way I look at it though, SE is putting out things like FFVII sequels while still bringing out great games like DQVIII, and we've got KH2 and FFXII looming just over the horizon. If they can still offer fresh new instalments of classic series, while also throwing out sequels to individual games then they can go ahead. All I care about is that they still provide a quality gaming experience.
Chill, the thread's only 2 hours old.A very valid opinion. I want to hear some oppostion. Even though I am excited as heck about ff-7 I would have liked to be able to disagree with you. Because I want to see the opinions about this flow here...this thread is a corspe...oh well.

I enjoyed 10-2, but it was quite a bizaree ff game in my opinion. It was a good game, but 10-2 was sort of like charlies angels mixed with the power puff girls...not that its the debate here...but sequels of specific games is...and the quality of those games is mainly and laregly the debate.
ff-10 2 appealed to the girl audience more than the guy audience...which shows just another blatant fandom craize by square enix. I mean its like targeted towards a specific group of fans...I dont think that a professional company should do this....I think that its unprofessional . Where is ff-13 or ff-14 or even ff-5 2 a game that I love? I mean why would a professional company do this. Where is ff-9 2?
I love all the games but I am siding to both views because I am open to both sides and want both sides to be challenged.
I would rather they experiment with different styles in an FF on a sequel or spin off, wouldnt you? People whine enough about X-2, imagine if it had been XII done in that style instead.
X-2 won plenty of awards and made plenty of money. Sounds like the quality issue isnt that big of a deal. I thought it was a perfectly fun game, it was night to play something more lighthearted.
And, as a female, I can say it was nice to have an FF geared towards us. Most FF games, most games in general (though it is starting to change) are geared towards boys. I dont see why girls cant have theirs as well.
....I think that its unprofessional . Where is ff-13 or ff-14 or even ff-5 2 a game that I love? I mean why would a professional company do this. Where is ff-9 2? Where is final fantasy made specificaly for spefically different races....??
I love all the games but I am siding to both views because I am open to both sides and want both sides to be challenged.
Fans in there basement make signled out games for singled out audiences towards a on going professionaly made franchise...not professional companys....
Why would XIII and XIV be out now? They just released XII. I dont see where you're going with complaing about the lack of XIII and XIV.
Where is V-2? Well, there was no opening at the end, was there? Nor with any other games. IX was wrapped up perfectly at the end.
Actually professional companies do make games geared towards a specific audience. Why is it okay that SE has been making games geared directly towards men for... oh, years, but they make one game for the girls and its a bad thing?
Its not so much that, I honestly am interested to get this started so I feed that to you ....I know saying that sort of kills the feel of the whole thing. I agree with you.....
However on the opposite end seeing how others and a large majority may look at this....the other ff's werent overly for men...but ff-10 2 was overly for women...and if they are going to discimitnately single out women or men...then where is final fantasy with gay people spefically in it (Im not gay, however gay people may feel this way) Final fnatasy games and sequels alike dont say this game is for men or woman. Specifically of course..and any audience could be intersted in playing final fantasy.however fianl fantasy is for anyone and everyone it is made without there being any overly feminine aspects to the game and ff-10 2 is overly feminine...as for the gay remark....when has there ever be an open statement about gay-ness in a final fantasy game. I am not gay its just an example. Final fantasy 7 (2) is specifically made for ff 7 fans....where is ff-8 2!?
Why I keep bringing up 13 and 14 because I think that they are spending too much time on sequels that single out specific audiences to make a specific game and not enough time on the next sequel to the title "final fantasy" a game that is for any and everyone not the sequel to the title of a previously made final fantasy game.....
I want to see ff- 13 before I see ff-8 2...(they could make ff-8 2 not to say that they are going to do it)

Not to many people are worried about XIII and XIV at the moment, because we're all complaining about AC and FFXII getting to the english speaking world.
