A Realm Reborn Opening Movie Now Live!Follow

I remember running out of prism powders about halfway there because I could only afford a handful of them.

That definitely made the trip more interesting... running behind mobs as fast as my tiny taru legs could carry me.

Yet i supports XIV with Money! I have stated many times that XII is the second best FF next to VI. I have bought every game SE has produced (Unlike some of you that only have played Final Fantasy.) I have stated many times how mind boggling it is that SE has not decided to release Final Fantasy Type-0 on the states, when is a masterpiece of a game, and it would be the perfect transitional game into XIV (It has a similar setting with the magitech empire, crystals and summons playing a big Part.)

Just because i don't put all my hopes into promises made by SE, or worship Yoshi-P for being nothing out of the ordinary (Maybe to fellow XI players he is, but i have played probably all majors MMO'S and communication between devs and the community is pretty normal to Me.) I hold SE to a bigger standard than you or most probably do, because SE is a pioneer of both the MMO and RPG genre, and there is no excuse for them to be doing this badly period.

P.S: Stop being such a crybaby.

FF 12 had an excellent combat system that allowed you to outbrain enemy algorythms with your own, speeding up the usual tedium of wading through hopelessly underpowered trash mobs. A step in the right direction IMO. And it was way less childishly angsty than SE's recent lukewarm stodge of "I'm goth, but deep inside still love a world of pink flowers" (XIII) or the 40 year old male virgin fanservice X-2.

Pale in comparison to the "great old ones" (FF series, C. Trigger etc.), but not as insultingly ridiculous as most of their other titles past 2000.

I was going to make a snarky post about innovation and decided not to.

But I loved FF XII and I consider myself a pretty big FF fan.

I honestly don't see how you can consider yourself an objective observer, then berate someone else's opinion as subordinate to your own.

It is the first Final Fantasy and second game from Square that got a Perfect Score in Famitsu (Both games made by the same person) it also sold well, outside of gambits, which i don't even get, what all the fuss was about (If you don't want to use gambits, then don't) the game had the biggest meat out of any FF title, side quests everywhere, the mark system was an awesome way to expand the lore of the game, and the world, the customization system was good, the story was good (Tho i believe it was cut short, from playing other yazmat games, and he did had to step down before the completion of the game)

XII is as different from VI-IX as X is to them Too.

Like, the hair style of the main character?

Like the license board... among others.... Wow! People are really ignorant about FF on this boards lol

FFXII might be different from previous FF before it. But let's not kid ourselves, it brought offline FF into modern gaming. Open World rpg, not seamless, but open in a full scale 3D universe. It introduced seamless battle with no transition screens. It did many things good. Most big rpgs nowdays are open, some seamless, some with zones. The actual battle system is inferior to XI which it was based off. But I liked gambits, they could have done alot more with them, but they're fine.

I think the world is ready for a spiritual successor to VI, VII, and XII. With modern innovations of course. Sure Xenoblade kind of did XII. But FF has huge well known lore and a larger fanbase. I think we're ready for an online Co-op FF, playable through the whole story & an endgame. The closest description I can think of in terms of online structure is WKC like, but with a larger budget. The graphics can be good but no requirement to be cutting edge. Focusing on story, gameplay, and exploration.

These spiritual successors are the games they should be expanding the universe or making sequels for. ***** the seperate teams. They need to do like the old days using a dream team, if not permanently, just this once. Get the best they have on staff at every position and pour their souls into it.
Everyones choice may be different on who this dream team should be. But I feel for lead game design/director it should be Hiroyuki Ito. Hell, maybe even do a collaboration with Sakaguchi on the initial installment. Idk if he'd do it or the insane amount of money they would have to pay him. But wouldn't that be a sight to see lol?

A hybrid co-op single player FF without being a true MMO might be fun. Customize your main character, build an NPC party like all good FFs, but then have the occasional ability to interact with other individuals on certain stages, sort of like how they did in Journey. Unlike Journey, where communication was extremely limited, you can talk and interact with the other person who is on the same stage you are, and befriend them through the PSN or the game or whatever, and if you really work well together, agree to do further missions with that person.

Crap, now I want to go play Journey again.

That's the one I have too

Nice thing about playing on the emulator, I can reverse the camera controls the way I like

I would like to see them do something like this. I picture something like Dungeon Siege III with a big open world where you can roam (minus the linear zones part). You can go solo, or a friend(s) can just hop in with you. Give it more story, more FF/RPG elements instead of the hack n' slash, and endgame dungeons and I'd be hooked.
