Everything is coming up gucci with each piece of news.
Nomura designs too? Lawdy, lawd just show it to me already

But FFVIIR is definitly an Action RPG, a really good playing one at that. Switching around characters, making combos work and everything having a nice feel to it *chefs kiss*
(FFXIIIs battlesystem is also fantastic - perfected in XIII-2)
The big concern I seem to be seeing is that Nomura doesn't have the restraint that he had in his early days, but after Kingdom Hearts and his role and importance in the company expanded, it became obvious that some of his more out there designs could be made without ridicule. Kingdom Hearts has nice designs and his early stuff is fine too; as Planetsmasher points out, he made Atma weapon and Cloud has some trademarks of his, but he was restrained and his design felt relatable. However recent character designs are so far removed from normalcy that it's tough to relate to literally any one character.
When Nomura designing this new game's characters, I really, really hope he dials into his young self when he had some restraint . Give these characters flair, sure, but make them relatable in design and not just jpop band boy #233.

Not sure what's been going on with Babylon's Fall, but
1) Scalebound seems to have been in big part an issue with Microsoft dictating a bit too much with the project that Platinum as a not-too-big developer couldn't handle (not that Platinum wasn't also at fault, to some degree) + IIRC a producer or somesuch on Microsoft's side (who championed Scalebound) leaving which can often create a situation where the people who remain or replace previous people don't want to carry on other people's projects, especially if they are not advancing without issues
2) Platinum was ever only supposed to help create the combat system of Granblue Fantasy and that was to be their role (and to be fair, what they cooked up looked about a million time more interesting than the most recent footage), so I'm not sure if they were "fired" from the job or if their input just wasn't needed anymore
3) Both previous Bayonettas took about 4-5 years to be developed so Bayonetta 3 not being out yet isn't too surprising, especially if they are going all out with it & pushing Switch hardware. If we haven't heard anything maybe by early next year, I'd start to get worried about that.
I like Nomura a lot, I just don't think he's necessarily a good fit for this. And he's welcome to prove me wrong, I mean we haven't seen it yet. I swear some of y'all can't process someone thinking about something in less than absolute terms. You have to be either an unrelentingly positive fan or you're a hater.
Hate to be that guy, but the rumor of an FF collection was big for the 30th anniversary of Final Fantasy, and then it didn't materialize. Are we a bit more certain this time around?
Of course.
FF Origin is the PS5 exclusive that was discussed over the weekend, yes.
You'll get a lot of shit for this, but I agree completely. It's awful.
Hopefully this is just pure action though.
So, if I've read the last few pages right, this is basically going to be a Nioh-esque game from Team Ninja with Nomura enemy designs and positioned as a prequel to FF1?
Because damn, I suck at Nioh/Souls, but this sounds like a good ass time regardless.

You just have bad taste then because VIIR and XIII have wonderful battle systems
Oh ho ho! Please give me more Final Fantasy XVI and more Forspoken! Hype levels are increasing!
The two Nioh games play better than any Souls game imo, so Final Fantasy x Nioh sounds right up my street.
Basically. Don't expect a one-to-one translation of Nioh's combat, though. It's going to be pretty different, with some common DNA.
also not sure what's up with babylon's fall, although I would not be surprised if it pops up this year (I also wouldn't be surprised if it got cancelled or something)
regarding bayonetta 3, kamiya made some hints in an interview early this year that suggested we'd be hearing about it by the end of the year, so hope springs eternal
? The only thing XIII-2 improved is removing the paradigm animation
battles are a joke difficulty-wise (very little need to paradigm shift), only 2 real party members, no Eidolons, less abilities
XIII is better
I just really want to know more about the FF collection. FF1-2 and 4-6 had GBA versions with additional content, so I'd be mortified if we got ROM dumps of the original NES and SNES games.
But then PSP-esque remasters of all 6 games is totally unrealistic

I'm expecting just the OG versions of each game. I'd be ecstatic if they used the 2D PSP remakes but I doubt it.
Alright, I really like this idea, if that's what the game ends up being.
A more Souls-like action game set in a world filled with Final Fantasy, tropes, lore, equipment, etc., sounds really fun. Having that type of exploration and more grounded combat in an FF world compared to the flashy DMC-esque fight visuals of FF16 (and FF15, to a certain extent) seems like something I could sink my teeth into.
Do you have any idea if there is some crazy stuff in the Square's leak that public has no idea about? Like a genuine surprise?
Crystal Chronicles (GCN)
Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (DS)
Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (DS/Wii)
Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Wii)
I'd love updated versions of the GBA ROMs with colors + sound from the SNES versions
Yeah. It's kinda sad that it got leaked because it would be a big surprise.
I don't know how I completely missed out on Ring of Fates and Echoes in Time.
I have to ask in preparation for my bank ccount and credit card... is it early or late 2022...
Oh hard disagree. FF7R has one of the best combat systems I've experienced in recent memory. A near-perfect blend of action and strategy. Mainly because it's just an iteration on Kingdom Hearts' gameplay which they've spent almost 20 years experimenting with and refining.
Really? It's exactly what I think of when I hear the name. What on earth is an Action RPG then?
The person who mentioned the collection didn't seem to know much about what it actually was....so I kinda hope it's just a miscommunication and it's just FF1&2 and we get 4-6 later. I'd be happy to wait for the other games if it meant getting higher quality remasters.
