| AngelosL said: Square-Enix is slowly removing all the elements that first attracted me to the series,and I personally can't accept a Final Fantasy without towns,exploration,world map and mini games. They sacrifice too much for the sake of Visuals and mainstream buyers.Also,the excessive use of cutscenes is not really my thing. So I guess the game for me is going to be just decent.Something fun to play once,but not something that will win me. For the record my favorite FFs are VI,VII and IV. |
I disagree about that... I mean, i think the mainstream buyers probably like the Minigames more then anybody. They break up the repetitiveness of the gameplay that all RPGs tend to have. Don't feel like grinding or fighting battles with the same tactics you've been using for 15-20 levels? Well play some Majhong or something!
I don't think you can really blame SE for this... I mean FF's for the longest time have in large part been defined by their visuals. When the HD consoles were announced and SE committed thinking they were going to be the winners...(as 90% of the world did) they HAD to make sure they kicked ass graphically or opinion would suffer.
Considering the massive cost increase with HD graphics and the MANY different graphical assets and just longer time games need to run... they were kinda trapped.
