Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns is coming out soon, and it plays a lot more like an action game on a timer than any classic Final Fantasy RPG.

Yeah I would love for final fantasy to feel like they used to. I too feel they have lost touch with what made ff a great series

Reflecting Square Enix finances, I doubt they can make it Good. PS3 was to complex, PS4 don't have adequate install base.

I think, a good thing for Traditional-Final-Fantasy, is for it to stay on IOS & Android platform for a while. Let them have Money, Time and Resources, to Regain-Recover-Understand what makes Final Fantasy Great.

It'll may have turn-Base Gameply, Chocobo, Jobs, Summons, Airhips to travel the world and sell for $15.99. I think that's Great.

FFXIV please be a success, so Final Fantasy will continues.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle12d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger12d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag12d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
