Square Enix Announces New Classic Final Fantasy Game

[TheBaron87]

Square Enix also has a Japanese teaser site [http://www.square-enix.co.jp/mobile/ff/ffl/] up for Final Fantasy Legends that plays the classic Final Fantasy theme.

That's the Prelude, not the theme

This is theme [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsNOMqNzRmA].

Well... it's the theme to me I guess. I used to sit in front of my SNES and listen to it for hours.

True, very true. I just felt like being anal. Your mistake was just too tempting for a jerk like me to let pass.

I hate to say this: but this looks cheap. It looks like Square Enix has thrown together a game on the cheap that doesn't follow the tropes of their SNES games because of any actual interest in gameplay, but only because making games like that are easy. Heck, the graphic engine is just stolen from FFIV-2, a single modder with enough time could make this game with less than a 1000 dollars worth of equipment. Yeah, they could do something more complex and endearing in the vein of games like FFVI or Chrono Trigger, but that would cost too much, so instead we have this game.

How much you wanna bet the storyline will be bare-bones or worse? Once upon a time games had to have limited storylines because of technological limitations - they made the most of what they had. Today they do it because studios don't feel like hiring a writer or making cutscenes - making the absolute LEAST of what they have. Everybody complains that Zelda and Mario never evolve, well games like this make me wonder if Final Fantasy is any better. Nostalgia is the ONLY reason any one will ever buy this.

At the very least it should have 3D visuals, like FFIV and FFIII, or even 4 Warriors of Light. Say what you want about 4 Warriors of Light - how its just a rehash of RPG cliches from twenty years ago - what at least it has a unique visual style. This is just second-rate schlock. And its BORING worst of all.

Looks like SOMEONE never played FF-FF6

Lol. I've played them all - FFVI is the only great game in the whole bunch. The rest are mostly good, but I wouldn't exactly recommend them to anybody who wants to play a really fun game.

Well, I suppose people just like what they like. I liked the SNES and PSX ones the most, but there are people who only like the PS2 ones, so who knows?
