Yup. Despite being a fucking atrocity as a game, FF13 did sell gangbusters thanks to its megahype and overwhelmingly positive initial "critical reception". They're the Star Wars prequels of video games (actually, the Star Wars analogy fits Final Fantasy better than it should, if you think about it).GZGoten said:it's a loaded question
despite how bad XIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Return were they still sold through the roof. Also for as horrible and boring as XIV is it has a lot of subscribers and the game has sold incredibly well warranting it an expansion that has a bunch of pre orders already... so I guess monetary wise, no it didn't need saving
for whatever reason people were claiming that XIII Versus was the game that ould save the franchise and we're getting that with XV now so I guess the series is save?
the VII Remake while cool and awesome let's be honest this is SE here, that game won't be out until Q4 2017
If they change the battle system or modify the story too heavily they've totally lost their minds honestly. Because it won't be the same game anymore and the fanbase will riot.WolvDragon said:Nomura already stated the story will be modified to some degree, they may add, change, or take out some story elements. And you already have a split between fans who want to keep the traditional turn based battle system, and those who want to see some changes to it.
Now you've reminded me I really need to be getting on with playing through Persona 4.Fox12 said:That said, I'm optimistic about the future of JRPG's. The king of the genre has returned, after all. They're called Atlus, and they're releasing a new Persona. Square can fuck up their franchises all they want for all I care.
Goddamn that game is good. Just, wow. One of my favorite game casts of all time.Lightspeaker said:snip
No memorable characters after 6? Did you play any of the games beyond 6?Someone Depressing said:Really, the franchise hasn't been untainted for me since 6. After that the games just stopped being good, and they took shelter under having insane anime plots and forcing as many unlikable characters and elements into them as they could.
I'd would be fine with that if he had said only FF7, but he said ALL FF's beyond 6. I don't care if you liked the characters or but I would but you my left Testicle that he could name later FF characters from a line-up, which means that even if one didn't like them one does REMEMBER them.WolvDragon said:I myself wasn't fond of FF7's cast, they looked pretty shallow to me in my opinion. If he found them unmemorable as well, then that's his belief.
...and what's wrong with 11 and 14 being MMOs? as far as I'm concerned those two more than holds their own against any other entry in the series, if not outright eclipse them.Lightspeaker said:I mean lets review shall we...11 was an MMO...14 was another damn MMO
Wait, there were numbered final fantasies without insane anime plots? Even the first one had that incredibly convoluted time loop thing.Someone Depressing said:Really, the franchise hasn't been untainted for me since 6.
