Versus 13 is the answer

Or for other projects > Go Sony only and give Nomura the Lead.
Let him and his Team work again for Japan and not to cater the Call of Duty people.

The answer for quality is Sony only.

I don't get how making Sony only assures quality.

I think materia is still the greatest idea they had, so many kinds and so many more combinations. Needing to raise chocobos to get to certain areas and islands for rare materia was fun too.

The grid style was fun in X, but it got annoying fast when they didn't change it up in XII or XIII. XIII was the same just more fancy. They also destroyed the fast paced battle system with XIII, the menu loads way to slow forcing me to use auto-battle.

Unless they can find their creativity, I.e. release FFVsXIII, they may as well remake VII. At this rate the series is dead anyways.

I found FF8's system to be the next logical step; it offered much more customization while retaining the basic materia model (just called it junctioning instead, but it is still basicly the materia system) - but perhaps too much for most gamers; Xenoblade uses a similar sort of system (maybe less complex than 8's), but has A TON of Tutorials whereas FF8 had only optional Tutorials in the menus and on the computer network in the Gardens. FF8's big flaw is that they introduce drawing before refining - and then people (like myself on my first play) rely on drawing magic, when that is both inefficient and monotonous compared to refining.

I think that if FF8 had reversed the introduction of refining and drawing, it would easily be considered the best FF system.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I JUST WANT FFVSXIII TO COME OUT T_T




Like it or not, the vast majority of people think VII is the best.

This news though, is once again bullshit.

Theyll make it when theyve finished V and VI Remakes. Hopefully, for home consoles.

Why 5 and 6 for home console?

If this has something to do with the Matrix remakes, and continuing from there, I don't think that's a logical next step. They remade 3 because it was the only FF game that hadn't been released worldwide, and they released 4 because there was a lot of FF4 interest around that time for FF4 with After Years. They were discussing redoing FF6 next, but decided the DS wasn't the right hardware for it; and that's the last we've heard.

I am not sure if Wada have played FFVI but that is the Greatest story ever told in a final fantasy game. FF7 was good but it doesn't compare to FFVI.

No Final Fantasy VII Remake Until Original Has Been Topped -- Square Enix CEO

Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada gave today a specific condition on when we'll get a remake of Final Fantasy VII.

During the Q&A session of the company's annual shareholder's briefing (transcribed here), Wada was asked the expected question about the much wanted remake. His response was something to the effect of, we'll make a Final Fantasy VII remake once we've made a Final Fantasy game that exceeds the quality of FFVII.

If you get the feeling that this statement belittles Square Enix's current development prowess, you're pretty much spot on. Wada admitted that at present, the company is not making Final Fantasy games that exceed the quality of FFVII. If they were to release a 7 remake right now, the FF franchise would be done with, he said.

While the staff would happily make an FFVII remake, this is something that if they decided to do, they'd have to give it their full effort.

but they topped it with 9......


Finally Wada got someth8ing right. SE's production qualities leave something to be desired and the game design is sub-par at best. There is a lot they could and should be doing with the J-RPG concept, I just think their current teams are not quite the visionaries their predecessors were.

Already topped it with 9 and 12....



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

My only real complaint with the Materia system is that it made all the characters essentially the same. VI had the same problem with the Esper system. I personally liked the games a lot better when things were sub-divided into jobs and honestly I liked the games even more when job switching was a possiblity. But that is only from the gameplay standpoint. VI and VII were more story focused anyways.
