I know there is a lot of love for Castlevania 2D games. However, while watching the pretty great Netflix series based on Castlevania, I couldn't help but just wonder and dream what a similar game with the combat and party systems of FF7R. Thoughts?
Hear me out... FF7R-esque Castlevania game.

I don't want a slow-paced Castlevania game where you have to stand around waiting for gauges to recharge. That's like the exact opposite of what would work well.
No thank you. Sounds as bad as Lords of Shadow.
If there was to be another 3D vania I'd want them to give an honest go at translating classicvania to 3D.

A Chrono game that doesn't have Double and Triple Techs is a complete waste of the Chrono IP.
Not personally what I'd want out of a 3D Castlevania, though I am definitely open to any potential 3D Castlevania game. Drives me insane when people say "Castlevania doesn't work in 3D", just because it's been done poorly before.
what really bothers me is that the Metroidvania style CV games are usually considered the defacto CV games when... there are more Classicvania titles lol
the advance collection isn't even as good as the first one lol
Yeah make every area a straight corridor to pad the game even longer and split it in 4 parts.
Gonna be sick.
Accurate. It's pretty clear the FFVIIR framework didn't work as far as remaking FFVII was concerned, and I can only imagine how awful that would be for a game that doesn't just have multiple towns but multiple time periods.
I find it funny you are imagining the worst of it when it could be so much more awesome
If Square Enix couldn't even remake a quarter of VII in one go, would you really expect them to be able to pull off a significantly more complex world than VII's?
Final Fantasy 7 Remake works because Square has amassed staff over the years and across the industry. I doubt Konami could make such a team unless they partner with NetEase or something
How about we don't tamper with an all-time classic, unique JRPG in the most mediocre way imaginable.
If they really wanted to, they could do it, but they know the herculean effort and fan judgment involved
I never said it was Trigger
Ah, fair. Either way, it's a boring formula for them to inject into the Chrono universe. I'd rather play something that feels less character action and more RPG.
Seriously. This weird push to make everything into an action game is so depressing.
I think it's important to keep some formulas and genres alive for large franchises and big budget games. The homogenization of these titles just leaves me bored in the end. I enjoy character action games, but I'm with you, I don't need everything to fall into that bucket.
If they can do that and make it accessible to more people, I'm all for it, but as it stands, Action RPGs are much easier for a wider audience to get into.
hell no lmao
I think it should be like a way easier fromsoft game
igarashi always wanted everyone to play his games so he always added several ways to stomp the game and most of these busted weapons are exploration rewards

the combat system of FF7R needs to be applied to other properties/games, I agree.
It's so nearly PERFECT. <3

3D castlevanias (like curse of darkness) remind me of proto fromsoft games
different weapons classes, exploration, and secret areas
I don't like how the lords of shadows game goes more into character action level stuff
i don't think either are an approximate of how castlevania should work in a 3d space.
To be fair :
They made DQXI.
:) . So they could. Just make sure the dude that designed FF13 and ff7r doesnt fucking touch the game whatsoever. Cant believe they never fired him.
I think it could maybe work, OP. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I would play it with an open mind. As long as it isn't another character action game.
I strongly disagree. As an avid classicvania fan, the only 3D games that feel close to the pacing and style of a classicvania's combat are the Souls games. Ideally, a new Castlevania game wouldn't JUST be a Souls game, they would hopefully incorporate some light platforming (and would be a little more linear), but a new Castlevania game that took inspiration from a Souls title (or was made by From) would definitely be a good thing.
That is a solid point, but I think they could incorporate that mechanic easily enough (and surely would). My biggest problem is the writing. Every time they embellished a scene in FF7R it was just filled with overwritten melodrama. I would HATE to see what they would do to a Chrono script. Chrono Cross already had a much beefier script than its predecessor, but it never felt like it was just spinning its wheels. I can't imagine modern Square having that same level of restraint. I am sorta happy the Chrono series is dormant. I only want a new game when Square is in a much better place.

I'd be happy for them to just bring back Castlevania in any form, be it classic 2D Metroidvania-style, 3D Character DMC/esque, FromSoft-like Action game, Open-World Witchher-ish RPG, Dragon Quest 11-style turn-based party RPG, or even a top-down tactics Fire-Emblem-inspired.
ah yes, THE dude that designed both games single handedly. Wait, who the fuck are you even thinking about?
I feel like I am the only one who on the planet who loved Lords of Shadow (second one was... not good.) So I would be for more like that, but Final Fantasy 7R-ish for sure.
?
Not talking about combat I'm talking about the structure of the game.
Toriyama, he already said he designed them that way on purpose.
He has the misguided sentiment that exploration and freedom makes it impossible to tell a good story.
And he wants his games to feel like watching a movie.
Now in a vacuum his sentiments are fine. The problem is that in effect, it's 2 hours long straight corridors with locked doors and valves and underground/sewer dungeons, where all you fucking do is walk forward, use a ladder, and fight enemies.
His game design is dreadful.
Nothing highlights his horrible ways more than playing 13 then going into 13-2, where the game design was handled by somebody else and it feels like such a strike improvement and breath of fresh air.
