Hajime Tabata just finished work on his latest project, Final Fantasy Type-0. So what's he working on now?
Final Fantasy 15's director Hajima Tabata departed Square Enix in 2018 and will announce his own studio's first JRPG in 2022.
Because Tabata is a decent director in my opinion and hopefully it's a console pc game
While I didn’t really enjoy XV as much as other ff titles tabata did direct crisis core and type 0 and I loved both of them. I’m interested in seeing what he does with full creative control.
A lot of those wrong moves though weren’t entirely his fault. A lot of the blame for FFXV coming out the way it did falls on the higher ups making dumb decisions I.e forcing them to make a engine during the development of the game.
Well, he had to make FFXV from what was left of FFvs13 and that was supposed to be 3 games apparently. There wasn't much he could do.
@pietro1212 every first year dlc should have been part of the game. That includes exploring the dark world during chapter 14. Gameplay was a mess. And you felt like you had 90% of end game abilities at the start of the game. The game needed at least another full year of full development. The engine wasn't his fault sure but ever little thing a fan of the game said he took personally and wanted to add it. It didn't need to have online multi-player.
@pietro1212
Lets be honest, he could have just went with the original vision Tetsuya Nomura had for the game, the plot and assests they had been in development since FF13 Versus was announced.
Instead he came on board and tried to scrap almost everything in the small time frame they had, why would you do this rather than just working out or using what Nomura had left behind.
Just felt he wanted FFXV to be HIS game and not Nomuras when the best course of action for fans was to just finish what was started.
You're right the both of you. Fox, I didn't know about that part. I didn't know it was his decision to start fresh, it was a bad idea.
For someone who did his best with FFXV despite it being in development hell for 6 years before he took over, he deserves to be acknowledged as a good leader, taking over from someone who changed his vision once a year, and then actually putting up a decent game is a achievement, add to that how Final Fantasy type 0 and Crisis core are good games as wel, I am looking forward to what he does next
From Japanese horror novel to game, the Parasite Eve franchise deserves a redemption arc in this week’s edition of Bring it Back.
The original was a really unique RPG. Cool combat system too. Whatever they did with the PSP Version... don’t ever do that again. Would like to see this series return.
I think the reason why they won't bring it back is due to the licensing and the failure of that abysmal PSP game.
I think Square should try to attempt a reboot without the whole use of "Eve", since Aya is an original creation I would assume they could still use her, and maybe come up with a new threat and implement all the mechanics from the original but modernize it. Y'know, something like FF7's hybrid combat system would be awesome.
The problem comes down to Square willing to take a risk. They could dump all this effort and money into a project and it could bomb in sales. I miss the days when developers could come up with any idea and get a game green-lit even if it wasn't a guaranteed success.
Ashamed to say this is a gap in my gaming experience here. Never played the Parasite Eve titles. I do have a PS2 sat under my TV, if you have no nostalgia for the games, do you reckon they hold up?

Final Fantasy XVI director Hiroshi Takai has a chance to revive the most cherished aspect of Final Fantasy in a way Hajime Tabata never could.
The author of this article was mainly talking about Takai being new in the sense of not having a directorial role in the series.
“Hiroshi Takai, who's worked on the series before in a smaller capacity. Takai was the first assistant director for the expansion pack Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. He's a relatively rookie director, having only directed the 2008 JRPG The Last Remnant prior to this.“
Then the title should not state that he is new to the series. Just that he never was the main director of a FF game.
No he isn't, hes the guy the worked on final fantasy 14 a realm reborn. Hes spoke about taking final fantasy back to its route. He must've been given the opportunity to do so
I'm pretty sure your thinking of yoshi p who was and still the director of FFXIV, but he is helping with 16.
I missed epic melodies from Final Fantasy games, the ones that come to my head are from VII, VIII, IX and X.
Also this one, so effing epic, this only melody makes me want to play this game so badly, fits so perfect to the atmosphere.

I hope this director at least bring one or create a new classic epic melody for XVI, devs are forgetting how important background music is to a game. :(
thats very bad, final fantasy starting to look and play like some korean mmo, thats very bad.
Thank god wewill be getting FF7 part 2
I would love to see a Parasite Eve sequel on PS3. The original was such a unique RPG.
Put your next game on Vita, it's time to start supporting that console instead of the one that barely gets anyone interested outside of Japan anymore.
That's good but I hope it takes more gameplay elements from the PE1 & 2.
Having to kill one of my favorite character in gaming wasn't cool.
I would rather have a sequel to Parasite Eve instead. You can keep all the mechanics of 3rd Birthday but I want a canon not a spin off.
