How is it that we have all these Musou spinoffs - two Zeldas, two Fire Emblems, two Dragon Quests, a Persona one, MULTIPLE anime variants...and yet no Final Fantasy Musou? Make this make sense to me, Square Enix/Tecmo Koei.
Think about it, y'all. You could have a selection of characters from each game in the franchise (and it would need to be a selection, not JUST the protagonists, to cut back on Same Weapon Syndrome) from FF1 all the way up to FFXVI. You can have legions of FF monsters, crossover boss encounters, a sidequestline featuring Gilgamesh sneaking through maps to get characters' ultimate weapons and run off with them before you can grab them, chocobos in place of horses for mounted traversal, etc.
I can even picture a full moveset for Clive in my head with like three minutes of actual effort. It wouldn't even be hard to come up with a lot of them, considering a ton of FF heroes and villains already have character models from Dissidia NT that they can use as a jumping-off point.
There is so much fertile ground for a Final Fantasy musou game and it is absolutely shocking to me that it feels like Square would rather do literally anything else than commission one from Tecmo Koei.
What do you think, folks? If an FF musou was made, would you grab it? Which character outside of the main heroes and villains would you be most excited to see playable in this type of game?
