I have an idea lets make a game that embodied the spirit of the successful versions, lets stop trying to court devil may cry/elden ring fans and get back to making a turn based rpg or similar to ff10.
Ff3, ff7, ff9, ff10
Are great examples of the story lines I loved.
It doesn't have to be turn-based. FFXI and FFXII are also great. I feel the bigger issue is that making a story heavy game while everyone else is also making story heavy games makes it no longer unique.
I wouldn't mind going back to ATB, but I don't think that would win back an audience except for nostalgia points.
Maybe more FF:T though? Kinda miss that.
I would love a modern FFT or even a paid mobile one with good mobile controls.
I enjoyed all of them and FFXVI too. I think it's okay to reinvent FF combat every iteration to keep it fresh. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy a turn based combat today like I enjoyed it 20 years ago.
I was pretty happy to let FF innovate and leave DQ as the stable JRPG release and then they announced DQ12 would be more action focused
4,6,7,10
I don't know. I know I played 9 in its entirety, but it is completely un-rememberable.
But yeah, 100% lets get back to the turn-based formula it was meant to be.
Bonus if we could go back to a 5-team instead of a 3-team
Vivi? Beatrix? Queen Brahne? Burmecia??
I found it to be one of the most memorable FFs.
5, 8, 9, and 10 are the best of the earlier games and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
And this is why there can be no such thing as an "ideal" FF game outside of perhaps re-remastering 10 again.
9 is fucking amazing. Best cast of any of that generation.
10 was the beginning of the end.
No, I love 12, so don't even start on that.
Oh that was the super linear one with wish.com Spike and the bunny girl?
Explain what you mean by linear.
Only issue with 9 is it's slow
Love this idea. The turn-based system in FFX was my absolute favorite, and I was really sad they didn't follow this direction further (even for FFX-II, like WTF).
Preach it 🙌
