IGN: "There's still hope that both Type-0 and Versus XIII will eventually release."
Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
Final Fantasy XVI’s launch was very different than Final Fantasy XV’s and the two mainline game releases are difficult to compare for a number of reasons.
While it seems really cool and people seem to really be enjoying it, I'm in the mood for a real jrpg right now, not an action game.
This is the first mainline Final Fantasy game I didn't pick up at launch since the original FF7 on PS1.
I'll certainly get it eventually, just not in the mood for this right now. Personal taste.
Well,
FF15 launched on more platforms than FF16
FF15 cost less to buy than FF16
The PS4 install base was bigger when FF15 released compared to the PS5 for FF16
I don't understand, Tales of Arise is a jrpg. It's also an action rpg, it even has less jrpg elements than FF16. The impact of PS5 exclusive is really strong.
I'm currently somewhere in the middle of FF XVI I think, and so far I'm enjoying it. Problem when comparing the two is there is a lack of bromance in FFXVI and it's less open worldish. In FF XVI the accompanying characters feel more like accessories that don't bring much to your playthrough outside of cut scenes.
I have a bad feeling Type-0 may not make its way westwards, well not without issue at least, as for Versus XIII it may be part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series for now, but I think many fans would like it as far removed from anything Final Fantasy XIII related as possible.
of course it won't be! looks like SE has taken a page from Activision's CoD with XIII! I totally called that there will be XIII-3 (although they changed the name to Lightning Returns) and I won't be surprised if they announce XIII-4 for next year!
Gotta have more Lighting!
It better be, it's the reason I havent been as ticked off with the new Lightning game. I thought that would conlcuded the Fabula Nova Crystallis series and FF13 Versus would be renamed so it can move away from all that Fabula Nova Crystallis crap.
Seriously they've been working on it so long they have had plenty of time to remove any trace of the Fabula Nova Crystallis mytho.
Type 0 would of done the same if Square had more time but because it was nearly finished when they found out FF13 hadn't done as well as they had hoped, the only thing they could do was give it a name change.
Square, are you fucking braindead?
nobody, NOBODY liked XIII
do you deliberately want people to stop caring about final fantasy? well good job. you're halfway there for sure.
