Agreed, 100%. I reserve hate for most of FF 13's cast. Unfortunately they were very memorable for all the wrong reasons.
If they're really leaning more towards FF1, then I'd honestly they'd go for more custom chars. Not only because Nioh 2's creator was so good, but because I think it would be all the more fitting if the Warrior(s) of Light we play dont talk much in the first place.
This post is funny considering the previous page is literally about just letting people enjoy what they like without unnecessary negative takes or discourse that don't add anything. I love(tm) FF fans.
To me, saying "X game is the worst Final Fantasy" means basically nothing, because every single numbered Final Fantasy game is great. There is no such thing as a "bad mainline Final Fantasy game", only varying degrees of great. Even the "worst" numbered Final Fantasy game is still a great game that deserves to be played by fans of the genre.
I want them go full Dungeons and Dragons: Final Fantasy, given the inspiration
I'd only accept it if Sakaguchi was director and Uematsu as composer. If that ended up being their last game, that would be completely fair and valid.
If you think about it, FFVIIR is a remake of FFI with Sephiroth copying Chaos' timeloop.
Totally agree. Each entry is iconic in its own way. It's why we're all still here tbh.
I mean I barely remember III but I'm sure it's lovely.
This is where I settled after I started playing FFII and found it wasn't the abject disaster that years of topping "Worst Final Fantasy" lists suggests.
like damn, if ff2 is the worst game in the series, then we final fantasy fans live a charmed life indeed.
Neither one of these precludes the other and the idea they do is rather childish, honestly.
Even FFX-2, which is basically unmitigated garbage in almost every aspect from writing to music to quest design, has the best core combat system in the entire franchise.
FFXV is on another level of bad to the point of being incomprehensible. FFVIIR might not have the best writing but it feels more polished and not like half of the cutscenes are missing or cut short for some reason.
Nah, people should just learn how to not be jerks and mask it as people not being able to accept '''''''criticism'''''' when none of said criticism is thoughtful or engaging. Replying to someone specifically appreciating the game by just saying it's the worst is like...stupid and unnecessary. It doesn't add anything aside to just be a jerk. Like a lot of ya'll just like to relentlessly and repeatedly shit on things (whether it's constantly calling creatives at SE talentless and hacks or something else) then get mad when others call it out. It happens in literally every FF thread that manages to go beyond 5-10 pages. I'm sure I'll get a reply that tries to justify this shit but I don't care, I'm tired. FF threads suck on here.
This is also how I feel. It's why talk around FF13 is so funny. For so long people acted as if it was this unplayable disaster when the truth is... the game is pretty good.
Lol been seeing some sites reporting it's a Souls-like by Team Ninja. Are they just taking info from here?
As the only FFI&II fan who replays them on the regular.....I joked with my friends that XVI is when YoshiP's status as a FF2 fan sleeper agent becomes activated cuz XVI minus XIV is II.
If it is a Souls like FFI has the timeywimey bullshit and FFII has the desolate AF world state. Would be fun but they're all fired if it is based on II and don't include Minwu outfit. I did enjoy Minwu being so competent he had to die and Hilda forever unimpressed with Firion and forever drunk on 🍷 she's such a mood.

I can't speak for others (and obviously there's examples of what you're talking about on this very page), but I think I've been pretty reasonable in my own criticism and I don't think that should ever be stifled in anyone. If you were making one of your critiques about representation in terms of race and gender in the newer games and someone just wrote you off as as being "negative" or a jerk or a hater or w/e, you wouldn't like that, it wouldn't be fair and you know you'd say so. I'm not arguing in favor of a hostile discussion, I'm saying people should be free and seicome to present sober, dissenting opinions within reasonable bounds of discussion. And if anyone finds that repetitive or obnoxious or anything else, they should just bow out, instead of whining or trying to silence the dissenters.
Dude, you, unprompted, called a creative — one that doesn't even work on the franchise anymore, mind — a "genuine hack". That's not criticism, that's not a "sober, dissenting opinion". That's just being a dick.
I do find it funny that the issues I had with the Type 0 cast got addressed in Opera Omnia of all places.....Machina got redeemed in my eyes fucking Machina! And I fucking hated him immensely. Shame Tabata probably had zero input on that unless it was unofficially done as I believe pre-production for OO season 2 story was after he had left but I only recently plowed through the story just to see it through so I'm not sure when what was added.
Opera Omnia has pretty fun writing. Though I have no idea what they're doing with Locke in the recent things. Seemed wildly out of character.
You know, if that'a the only part of my posts(s) you or anyone else wants to engage with, there's nothing I can do about that. The work speaks for itself. I think he's a bad director.
They should be, they are, but that's not what happens in FF threads. It's more "waaahh this, waahh that", and it's just really boring. Like sure, every once in a while let's all dump on XV, but every FF thread? It is repetitive, it is obnoxious and worse, it adds literally nothing because we all know the criticism of each game like the back of our hands anyway.
Fair point. I don't post in every FF thread or very many threads at all really, so I'm going to be less sensitive to that.
I think it's at its best when you have Freya and Tidus butting heads with the Type 0 cast cuz they're chill about forgetting the dead and Vivi being the best IX character gently offering his opinion about how he deals with his own mortality. Was also really sweet how supportive everyone was to the Type 0 cast when they found out how fucked the rules were for their world.
And and as for Locke I think it was just him forgetting how to let go due to not having his post game memories in full. It was probably just an excuse to debut Mog and I'm totally ok with that. Was worth it just to see him threaten Locke with an ass kicking
Its the only mainline numbered I couldn't motor through. Finished them all, disliked some (9 /15) loathe this one and I would definitely recommend fans of the genre against picking it up.
Wait I almost made a post earlier about Minwu saying people don't talk about him enough lol. The elusive male white mage, shattering white mage stereotypes ahead of his time! What a legend.
Pretty much.
XIII is one of my least liked Final Fantasy games. But it would be ridiculous to call it "bad". The game is actually pretty good, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to play a JRPG on the PS3/360 generation.
FFXIII was just too far convoluted to me. I got halfway in and realized I just didn't have a clue of what was going on or what the point was. Felt like that game needed a mini handheld glossary with it to keep track of all the naming conventions.
I also thought the chocobo in the Afro was a bit tone deaf even though I was initially happy to see a black character in a final fantasy.

I don't care what everyone say. FF7R had some best cutscene direction in series like Madam M hand massage, dance scene,Red 13 smile, Cloud drink and praise Tifa "beautiful". I love all the goofy moment and I hope FF series continue make all goofy/funny moment like that and less serious.
I finished FF12 two months ago. The serious dialogue and boring cutscene not make me love with story. Finished FF12 and the only reason I like is gambit

Yea he was apparently designed after a Iranian programmer who basically bailed out the development for FF1 or something and they wanted to make a sagacious/wizened Court White Wizard character based on him. Always thought Minwu was a badass. He is singlehandedly responsible for me going DEX/MND or DEX/Faith when I can build characters that way.

Opera Omnia unironically made me enjoy Squall a heck of a lot more than his actual game ever did (I don't hate FFVIII by any stretch mind you, but I have always preferred VI and X). His inner monologue in this game is hilarious.
He should do it at least for:
- Best Soundtrack in the Trilogy
- Best Ending Boss in all FFs
It is a great game.
Yea it's a shame you have to really delve a bit to get to this quality of writing and interactions with characters. I do give props for the Dissidia NT team for having the time to implement scenes where Shantoto and Ultimecia throw shade at each other while Tidus and Firion and Kefka and ExDeath are all just standing there nervously sweating.
Or Cecil and Ramza talking about being nobles and what responsibilities they have to the kingdom and their house and all that that entails only for Vaan to step in and remind them they have to take into account the common folk who often remain voiceless in their own country.
Edit: That last example was more my interpretation of the scene leaking into describing the scene. On a Vaan related note, TZA and playing it in 2020 made me appreciate Vaan more. I was already meh > appreciated with Penelo due to her sass as the Dissidia info box narrator (she undoubtedly was hit with the largest of nerfs to her sass going from Dissidia to Duodecim).
Was the setting leaked yet?
I hope is futuristic. Always loved the futuristic settings more than the Medieval ones.

I stopped playing after like 3 hours because leveling system was trash, but man that sounds crazy lmao.

Programmed FF1 through FF3, then worked on Secret of Mana and retired a legend.
Where did I say we 'need' AAA RPGs? The point is that frankly, they clearly see a bigger return of investment in having FFXVI etc. exclusively on their platform for a time than spending money on funding remakes of franchises that have been dead for over two decades.
I'd love for them to bring back Alundra and Wild Arms, for example, or create a new JRPG series that isn't necessarily AAA but I'm not naïve enough to assume that the money used to fund these deals could have been used to do that.
I'm a bit suprised that haven't leaked yet.
Seems many people know about this game, and yet no one wants to share the setting.
