Yeah their standard for success is so damn random.Bravely is dead on consoles because Bravely Second only sold 750k, unlike clear success story World of Final Fantasy which sold a whopping 800k.
Considering how big in scope a lot of the mid-tier games were because they weren't limited by the most powerful, cutting-edge graphics and such, they were able to focus on other aspects of the game, which made those games seem larger and hearty. For as great as I love cutting-edge graphics, a lot of these games scope seems cut down and pale in comparison to the games of classic Square.Mid-tier Square is the best Square
I'd throw the FFX/XII HD remakes in the mid-tier space too since they don't take as many resources
FFT 2 would be a mid-sized game?
I think it would be bigger than that
SE does not care about any of the Enix franchises besides Dragon Quest. Most people don't either unfortunately.
Judging from when FFT originally came out, it, SaGa Frontier, Legend of Mana, Brave Fencer Musashi, Bushido Blade, Threads of Fate were all "mid-tier" level games. FFVII-FFIX, Chrono Cross and Xenogears, given the size and presentation were higher tier.Just by the nature of what kind of game it is, it doesn't require as much budget. Like, Tactics games aren't going to have huge open areas with ridiculous levels of detail and complicated physics. They use fairly small isometric arenas that can mostly fit on screen with just a bit of panning. Even if the game has a huge campaign and they go all out on the character detail it'd still be a relatively low budget game compared to say FFXV. Hence, "mid sized". Hell, the two Advanced games were bigger than the original Tactics content wise.
When the hell did they even say all this shit last gen?Meh. Same song and dance every time a new Nintendo console comes out. I'll believe that oh so great promised support when I'll see it.
It has a mobile game so there seems to at least be some interest in the IPSE does not care about any of the Enix franchises besides Dragon Quest. Most people don't either unfortunately.
Crystal Chronicles 2 would work even better as a local coop game imo. Joycons are perfect for that game.Crystal Chronicles 2 as an online service game would be a good idea, methinks
TWEWY2 is a must. With the combination of d-pads, sticks, touchscreen, and it, They can have a wide array of badges
Back-catalog on digital. There's no reason to not have Final Fantasy 1-13 on the Switch (or any system now).
More experimental stuff like Octopath Traveler. OP is doing something different with the visuals, I want more mid budget games to take an aspect and spin it on its head like that
It stalled because Crystal Bearers has fuck all to do with anything the series was originally about. The debut's idea of a multiplayer was also convoluted as fuck. And that's putting it nicely. It had one of the best FF soundtracks ever and some absolutely beautiful dungeons and enemies for that time though.I really doubt we're getting another Crystal Chronicles. Franchise kinda stalled after Crystal Bearers, and I just don't know if the desire or market is there.

I didn't play it for long. I wasn't informing myself that much about games and thought I'd get more Crystal Chronicles.. Got something completely else instead. Fuck that game. My life as a King was nothing like the original either, but it wasn't as bad as Crystal Bearers. I never got what they were doing with this franchise.Man, I totally forgot about Crystal Bearers! This is funny because I remember being pretty hyped during the Wii era and I was pretty surprised about the underwhelming reception that it got considering it had great graphics (Hell, it looked even better than Xenoblade Chronicles which ended-up being the best JRPG of the system) and fantastic music.
Did anyone here play it? I've heard that it had bad controls but still I think that it would be cool to have a new game with a similar premise and better execution.

It's like Sonic Team syndrome where instead of building on top of the really solid foundation the first game had they threw everything they had against a wall and looked for things that sticked.
It's a character action game with a very limited moveset and awful controls. I didn't last long enough to see how the story turns out.
Yeah, Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. At least those exist on mobile, are they available outside of Japan?It has a mobile game so there seems to at least be some interest in the IP
No, both are Japan only. I don't think they would do well anyway, especially Anatomia -- chara design would be criticized a lot and it already isn't big in Japan.Yeah, Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. At least those exist on mobile, are they available outside of Japan?
Don't think so,Yeah, Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile. At least those exist on mobile, are they available outside of Japan?

that's not a fault of the sub-IP though. the games went in a rather different direction than the original. a Crystal Chronicles 2 with an online & DLC/MTX focus would make sense in today's market
Bravely series is as good as dead now that the producers moved onto a different company with Octopath Traveler. Even took the damn font with themBravely Third on Switch. Make it happen, SE. I need more of this combat system!!!
Bravely series is continuing, that's confirmed. Just need to know if they're retiring it to mobile, or if console handheld/releases will continue.Bravely series is as good as dead now that the producers moved onto a different company with Octopath Traveler. Even took the damn font with them
Where did they say they were continuing? Last I read, they were thinking about starting a new series rather than make a third game, which they did (this was after bravely second)Bravely series is continuing, that's confirmed.

Spike Chunsoft didn't actually do the Chocobo Dungeon games. The only MD spinoffs they made were Pokémon, Etrian Odyssey, Druaga and the first Torneko.Am I the only one who wants another Chocobo Mystery Dungeon? I suppose I should pine to Spike Chunsoft rather than SE...
Ok then, Square Enix r u reading this? Make more Mystery Dungeon spinoffs!Spike Chunsoft didn't actually do the Chocobo Dungeon games. The only MD spinoffs they made were Pokémon, Etrian Odyssey, Druaga and the first Torneko.
Needs a Streetpass alternative though.Dude, all I want is dq9 remake. I think it'd be perfect for Switch and I'd buy 4 copies for me and friends...
are we expecting the producer to work on this and Octopath at the same time? it'll be doable, but it's gonna be weird to see the similarities unless Bravely Third does more to differentiate itself. you can really see the BD roots in OTThey posted this on their official twitter account when people asked about Bravely after Octopath was announced, saying that the Bravely series will be continuing.
Staff hasn't been revealed but still both Octopath and Bravely are different enough (in looks and combat) and Asano's team should be able to manage the creative side while two different studios do the developing.are we expecting the producer to work on this and Octopath at the same time? it'll be doable, but it's gonna be weird to see the similarities unless Bravely Third does more to differentiate itself. you can really see the BD roots in OT
