Famitsu Giving Away Seifer Almasy Card For Final Fantasy Artniks

Did you know Famitsu has a magazine just for GREE games? GREE is Japan’s social gaming goliath which was the center of attention at Tokyo Game Show. GREE has original games like Knights vs. Dragons plus dozens of license tie ups like Naruto Ninja Masters.

The magazine also includes a rare Seifer Almasy card as a bonus. Seifer is a thunder type character with 1500 attack and 1500 defense.

Awesome

I think someone should make collectors Triple Triad cards for FF8 fans

TongkatAli4140d ago

I would get that in a heartbeat.

Snookies124140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Man I want this card... Seifer is badass. Also, I've always called him "Seefer" since I was younger, but apparently it's pronounced "Safer" lol. Some I've heard even call him "Saifer". Ahhh, the days when FF games had no voice acting... You just had to guess how it was pronounced.

...Chickenwuss.

DragonKnight4140d ago

It is actually pronounced Saifer like you mentioned, the japanese method of pronouncing it is Saifa with the elongated accent over the a.

I still can't believe that Tidus is pronounced Teedus though. That's so stupid and I'll never pronounce his name that way. Tiedus all the way.

Snookies124140d ago

Really? Then perhaps it shouldn't be spelled like that at all in that case. o_o Considering in Japanese they pronounce "ei" as something akin to "A". At least based on my Japanese language skills.

Yeah though, I agree on that one. I always called him "Tiedus" as well. "Teedus" does sound really lame... XD

DragonKnight4140d ago

Maybe I'm conveying it wrong. I mean it to sound like Psyfer.

Pozzle4140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

I pronounce it as Sai-fa/Cypher too, but my sister pronounces it as "See-fer". Though I've heard some pretty bizarre pronunciations for FF characters in the past, so I guess it's different for everyone. (I remember seeing an argument on a Final Fantasy forum years ago where people were debating whether Edea was pronounced "Ee-dee-ya", "Ay-day-ah", "Id-eh-ah" and so on.)

"Tee-dus" will always sound weird to me though. Considering he's a character who's history/skills revolve mostly around water, he will always be Tide-uss to me. Tide = water. Makes sense to me :)

Snookies124140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Dang thing posted in the wrong spot, ignore and thumbs down this comment. :]

Fail on my part, I'm a Chickenwuss now.

^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen

darthv7222d ago

Legend of Dragoon... WTH is Sony doing just letting this one squander?

-Foxtrot22d ago

I wonder if their mindset is like “meh we have Final Fantasy what’s the point of our own JRPG”

FinalFantasyFanatic22d ago

@-Foxtrot,
Square-Enix had a long period there where it seems they didn't know what to do with Final Fantasy, I think that time period would have been a good time to revisit their classics and remake them. Now it seems they're going full steam ahead with the franchise, so they have less reason to revisit those older games. I wouldn't mind if they subcontracted them out to other developers, that and I don't trust SE to remake their older games.

Cacabunga21d ago

Simply because i do not think it will succeed.. maybe a bad example but e we got Medievil remake after many years fans have beg asking... result is It flopped hard. Remaking a JRPG is so risky. Only a bunch of hardcore gamers who played the original would buy it. If Sony put even more budget into it then it’s even more risky.

As i suggested before, i think they should start remaking like square did with Star Ocean. Or something similar to Octopath Traveller. Build up some hype and try on higher scale later on..

Terry_B22d ago

Let me tell you about PS1 games that should get a remake actually.

Jumping Flash (As a VR game)
Ridge Racer 1-4 as Ridge Racers 3..just like the pretty perfect PSP RR1.-2 games but with even more content
Xenogears
Cardinal Sin which was full of nice ideas for its time but was plagued by technical limitations
Bushido Blade ^^ just like CS
Bust A Groove.
WWF Attitude. With the same roster, same voices,Only slightly updated gameplay but current gen graphics
Dynasty Warriors..yes the fighting game that was similar to Tekken 2 while it had weapons.As nice as the DW games are..its a shame they never released a new fighting game

And while I am at it.

Thrill Kill ...hell yes.

KyRo22d ago

Ah Thrill Kill, the game that was banned/cancelled but everyone had played 😂 what a throwback!

darthv7222d ago

jumping Flash would make a great VR game. Im actually quite surprised nobody has thought to do that one... even on the indie side for something like the meta quest.

GhostMirror22d ago

Big yes to Jumping Flash! and Ridge Racer revivals. Bushido Blade was cool as well; it was pretty deep and so much different from other fighting games at the time. Einhander was another good non-RPG from Square, which was kind of rare for them in that era.

Didn’t Thrill Kill eventually get re-skinned and released with a Wu-Tang Clan license? 😂

FinalFantasyFanatic22d ago

I miss Ridge Racer so much, give me a new game or at least a collection of the older games! I had a blast playing Ridge Racer PSP on my PS4 a few months back.

I cannot understand the current business practice of remaking games from the previous generation, especially when they are very much playable today and still hold up well, it's even worse when people are willing buying them again. The PS1 generation is so ripe for remakes, I know more than a few people who would clamour for a Xenogears remake, or almost any game from that list.

Ravenkiss22d ago

and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.

Redgrave22d ago

I assume this to mean that you aren't considering the PSP port to be the remake in this statement? Like a remake of that one?

FinalFantasyFanatic22d ago

That version is quite old though, that was 18 years ago, so doing a remake in the vain of Star Ocean might be worth it (I did not think the PSP was that old until I looked it up).

Knightofelemia22d ago

I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

FinalFantasyFanatic22d ago

There's been talk of a Xenosaga trilogy on the proviso that there was enough demand, I hope that actually happens one day.

Why does From Software not do ANYTHING with this franchise... It's so sad... Can't they at least outsource it to someone to try a revival?

Final Fantasy Games That Deserve the Remake Treatment

Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?

gold_drake128d ago

i feel like all of them.
well except 2 haha.

shinoff2183128d ago

Agreed. Ff2 though can be made better, so it's not entirely a lost cause. Ff8 will gets its time. I do wish they'd do the old ones. From ff10 and up those ones still hold up pretty well.

kevco33127d ago

Honestly, I've always felt that VII and up 'hold up well' in that regard. The early 3D games just needed a cosmetic update. But the FFVII Remake is so different to the original in execution that a lot of games could be done in a similar fashion and feel far more modern.

I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing (that depends on your personal preference!), just that they could feel very different.

shinoff2183127d ago

Kevco I liked remake but I think your right. Idda been happy with a 1 to 1 remake that looked like ever crisis to. Or both

I'd just love I square would one day give us a turned based one with today's graphics. I can't really think of a jrpg that does that.

andy85127d ago

I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.

shinoff2183127d ago

I do agree. I'd give it another shot even though I didn't like it at first. My taste change over time. Gta 4 for instance I was so disappointed it lacked so much of what san andreas had I didn't play it for like 5 years. One day went to a semi pro football game(American football) came home drunk and decided to try 4 again. I actually liked it after giving it a fair shot.

Rebel_Scum127d ago

Just make new games. Not every game needs to be remade.

All Of The Final, Final Fantasy Bosses, Ranked

BLG writes: "Final Fantasy bosses are swimming with challenging and exciting battles. Over the course of the series, the game has evolved from turn-based battles to more action-oriented gameplay. That has allowed players to see a variety of battles and types if you’ve played multiple entries across the decades. Bosses you see in more recent games like Final Fantasy 15 are grander in scale than those you might have seen on the Super Nintendo in the 1990s. That doesn’t always equate to them being more legendary, though. "
