Comment on Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer

• caut_R@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Why though? Each Final Fantasy has its own world and whatnot. FF15 played a lot differently than FF13 which played a lot differently than FF12 which played a lot differently than FF9. They‘re all JRPGs of course but I don‘t see why they should throw away the brand recognition for the heck of it. It‘s not like they’re FIFAing. It seems to me like whoever is gonna develope the next game isn‘t gonna be held back by the name.

    Why though?

    seems to be because he’s never played any of the games to understand that, thats why.

      It’s clear from the naming nomenclature that they’re sequels to each other without even needing to ever play them you halfwit

  They’ve been “trying sometime new” since final fantasy 11.

    I mean “new” as in “Not Final Fantasy.”

      First of all, I don’t see how a series where each and every entry is unique and has nothing to do with the previous ones (apart from a few recurring names) could be “well past done”.

      And also, Square has also “tried something new”. Triangle Strategy, Live a Live, Nier, Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, SaGa, Mana series (with an upcoming title next year), Dragon Quest, Octopath Traveler… I’m just listing a few, but I could go on.

        It saddens me that Lost Odyssey isn’t in this wonderful list you threw together.

      The Final Fantasy series has many loved entries in which recurring characters, archetypes and items make a looping comeback. It is very fun to see how different those elements are handled in different entries. They just need to step back and realize not every FF needs to be a game that pushes its platform to its hardware limit. That may have worked well for them up to the PS2 era, but it’s not a thing anymore. You don’t need extreme ultra realistic eye twitching for your game to be grandiose.

      I get the feeling you’ve never played more than one final fantasy game.

  Roflmao, yeah, it should be more along the lines of the “Yet Another Fantasy” series. False advertising is what that is /s.

  Like The Never Ending Story.
