Where Final Fantasy Went Wrong, and How Square Enix is Putting It Right

Final Fantasy's star has lost its shine for many fans. US Gamer speaks with the series' creators to learn how they're working to restore its former glory.

Yoshinori Kitase, the director of highly successful Final Fantasy VI, probably going to direct Final Fantasy XVI.

Final Fantasy XVI would be visually & technically similar to Bravely Default and would be made available on PSVita, PSNow, 3DS, iPhone, Android and Playstation 4!

lol i doubt the platforms,most likely ps4 and xb1(or who knows ps5 xb2).
mainline titles will be console only
and anyone but toriyama
but kitase+ito+nomura=dream team,
although nomura seems overburdened already and he'll most likely take a break after kh3

"Square Enix needs money" is a strong factor.
Bravely Default is cheap to make, quick to make, easy to make, highly rated & highly profitable.

vishmarx3636d ago

i know but they flat out said the mainline games will be resticted to consoles.
on the other hand .games similar to bd can be released across all patforms ,whilst not being calle FF

Edito3636d ago

Final Fantasy got messy when Nobuo Uematsu and Sakaguchi went out thats it they went out with the soul of the franchise people try to find the reason in many ways but thats the only and real truth... besides the fact that they abandoned the Turn Based Model...

I loved this game till X after that its just garbage... Im sorry.

Mr_Luke3636d ago

With FFXIV:ARR they put it right, i hope they do the same with FFXV (i have too many doubts, tho...)

Dspdspes3636d ago

Agree with Edito. Just my opinion. (Liked XII though)

isthe3631d ago

I like the new direction they're taking by actually receiving and asking for feedback, and xv looks incredible! it's one of the main reasons I'm getting a ps4

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled2d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
