Sorry but I think you should read the article again. SE isn't doing that because they want to change the franchise, they are doing that because it's too much work to do.

I don't want to be guided in a RPG. RPG isn't just battles and movies for me. Explore cities is one of the main aspects of a RPG.

Also, I think you are closing your eyes just because it's a Final Fantasy game. People aren't hating on anything here, they are just complaining because Square Enix won't add Towns (one of the main aspects of a RPG) just because it's too much work.

Simple.  To me, the battle system and story is the most important.  SE managed to screw up both again (FFXII was the first).  Maybe the story will be better once I play it in English (I don't speak japanese so mainly reading translations, then again I watch anime subbed and still like it).

I wanted FF to be a spectacular game.  I was very pumped when it was announced.  Got really pissed when it went to the 360, but hey can't talk back against money.  I would do the same.  When I heard it was going to be two equal versions, I had my doubt.

Unfortunately, SE did take content out of the game.  It was delayed.  Now I hear this.  This is unacceptable.  If you expect me to buy your game, I want quality.

(sigh)  Anyways, I'm looking forward to the other games coming such as Yakuza 3 | NMH | WKC | GoW | LR | Atelier Rorona | Trinity Universe | MAG (once my friends get it) | Red Dead Redemption | Blur | and the nVidia Fermi in March.

people do you even appreciate how hard these developers have worked man. all i see on every thread about ff1 is a complaint dang. I mean really those people work hard and if somethings not in that is usually in then so what there's a lot of good than bad but all you people seem to see is the bad. man no game will ever have everything you want because your human and expectations always change. But people stfu.

I will definetly buy it no matter what happens. But I was from the beginning way more hyped for FFvs13 I like the character and the darker atmosphere.


But that they said its to time consuming to make towns is ridicolous. I really like towns in FF a lot because it is like holiday from the dungeons you will be introduced to a new part of the world and to new stories and stuff. A lot of NPCs and little secrets to discover its an essential part from FF.

But I am sure I will like FF13 probably a lot the battle system should be the best of all time. And I had problems with FFX too in the beginnig but I ended up loving it.

No towns this time and maybe next time in FFXV the whole game will take place in one giant town.

It's not "everything we want", it's one of the main points of a RPG, and they aren't adding it just because they are lazy and it's too much work to do.

I'm sorry .  I didn't realize only SE have hard working employees.  They should be proud to turn out a game of this quality.  While other developers who worked on Mass Effect 2, Uncharted 2, Borderlands, NHM2, CoD: MW2 turned out ****y games.  Yeah all those games did not require hard work.  I know, they're good, fun to play, and complete, but still nobody but SE have hard working employees.

Oh yeah, before you say I don't know anything, I'm learning DX10/11 under Wolfgang Engel at UCSD.

Seriously Square? THAT's your excuse? You've lost a lot of respect from me. It seems like FFIX will always be my favorite FF, cities FTW!

Now, now, let's...let's not be hasty, it's a numbered fantasy and not even online only. That alone is worth the rental fee right?
