While the 3DS has recently proven itself as a real RPG powerhouse, just a handful of years ago, Sony's PSP held the same distinction. It might be hard to remember, but before we were joining our Wii Us and 3DSes in unholy unions for some co-op Monster Hunting, the PSP once had a monopoly on all things related to this popular brand, which in turn encouraged developers to hitch their respective wagons to Sony's money train.
Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.
DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”
i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.
and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.
the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.
This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track
I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece
Today Atlus presented the results of the fan survey launched back in May, and the fans want remakes of Persona 3 and the Persona 2 duology.
Persona 3 is my favorite in the series. If they wanted to redo it I'd be happy. Just make it, you know, an actual remake.
You're seeing people trying to do low effort for $70 currently.
Persona 2, more so. I want to see a more serious take on this series. 2 felt less whimsical.
