Square Enix Wants a New Final Fantasy Every Year
- Thread starter Marshall Honorof
- Start date
HA! Good luck to them trying to be keep the new game consistent while maintain the same quality for every new game every year!
Its a fine line to tread, for any company.
You can release the same thing annually and have people moan that its all the same or "its generic".
Or, you strive for a fresh outlook and innovate your game only to have internet geeks moan that youve changed the colour of the pause menu (or some shit like that).
Im just waiting for XIII-2 at the moment, we shall see what the future holds.

If they took their time and made one with a world map again it might be a SE FF game worth playing. They just don't have what it takes any more, not after the catastrophic failure of XIV. Arguably not after X, but that's another story.
Well...
7th was awesome, loved the story, loved the characters, graphics were kinda mediocre (but surprisingly expressive)
8th was almost as awesome, loved the story, liked the characters, loved the cardgame
9th was decent, but i did not like Zidane
10th was decent but too linear
12th was ok but too short
13th was too linear, i did not like characters, shortness was not an issue though, i stopped playing at 15 hours out of boredom.
14th sucked, seriously, i have no words to describe the fail that was this game
15th? i am very much starting to doubt i will even bother buying it if/when they get around to releasing it.

Now now, they're already at XIV and it's only year 2011, they're ahead of the curve by 3 games already.Pedro The Hutt said:
That's true, and I am a big fan of good-looking games. That's always my first hook.Ubermetalhed said:
My major problem with FFs in recent years has just been the (kind of important) plot and the characters. Hopefully they'll widen their writers' pool in this bid to make more games, faster.
I don't plan to buy XIII-2 simply because most of the characters would need complete personality overhauls before I'd be remotely interested in them.
NO! NO NO NO NO NO! For $%^# sake Square-Enix! Thank you for ruining my !#$%ing day!
You know, I played FF games when they actually meant something. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of 7-10 but FFS at least they didn't come off as androgynous crap! I played FFXI for 5 years! Five freaking years and NOW you want to be pump out FF titles like it's CoD?!
Yes trolls, I'm mad. #$%^ you too. I feel like a hitler "Downfall" video is necessary for this. God dam.

"because that seems to be the best way to keep our fans interested and attracted to the franchise." NO. The best way to do that is to make QUALITY games.
And you cannot make the best quality game if you cut the time you spend on it in half or more.
How dumb can you get? Oh wait, the first 20 hours of FF 13...

No! No, don't do it Square! Why in the world would they think that?!
I second that.amaranth_dru said:
Oh really?! Look release Versus and XIII-2, then give the whole series like a three year break to create some new series or titles and then get fans saying, "whatever happened to Final Fantasy, I miss it." and the BLAM! Final Fantasy XV.
Oooooor, divert all Square-Enix money towards the development of Just Cause 3 and Hitman. Just an idea. Or Kingdom Hearts 3. I hear that's missed.

Personally, I prefer innovation to consistency, and I would rather see S-E take time on its projects. Kitase is right to say that they took a little too much time with XIII, but a main series game every year will probably be a bit much. Good luck to them if they can pull it off, but I think 2-3 years would make more sense.
