| Anfebious said: I doubt it since I played both games. FF 12 influenced Xenoblade in a few aspects, the big enemies and the high level enemies in early areas, you also have the big areas and seamless battles. When I first played Xenoblade I instantly thought about FF 12. I'm not saying Xenoblade copied FF 12 but you can clearly see some similarities. Both are great games though and I loved them. And besides there is nothing that Xenoblade can teach Final Fantasy. They are two completely different series! Final Fantasy is better off learning from their older installments than from Xenoblade. |
Have to agree. While i enjoyed XC more than i did FF12, i was constantly reminded of the latter while playing XC. As you said, i wouldn't call it copying (and who knows if it was the actual source of inspiration), but the similarities between the two are pretty apparent.
Also agree with your final line. The best place for FF to learn from is its many predecessors. I'm pretty optimistic about 15 though. Regardless to how it turns out, its certainly taking a lot more risks than previous titles (which is saying a lot, since the series has always favored dramatic changes between entries).
