Final Fantasy Offers Countless Opportunities For Multiplayer

Final Fantasy Union: "The Final Fantasy games, like most RPGs, have upheld the tradition of immersing that one person, the player, into the game entirely. Trying to sink two people into the sixty hour plots simultaneously might be spreading themselves too thin, surely. "

Would be interesting if we see multiplayer in future titles.

mephman5033d ago

Maybe we'll see it in Final Fantasy XV. :p

ShawnCollier5033d ago

Question is, how many years would that be in? :P

mephman5033d ago

On current trends, we'll see it around 2015.

iamtehpwn5033d ago

Think about it. The way commands are issued in the game would've easily allowed another person to control one of the characters and input commands.

It would requite a few changes to the combat system, like how paradigms are done, but that could've been a saving grace for FFXIII.

Hardedge5033d ago

Would be nice if Versus has some coop, that or any other FF game.

SpoonyRedMage5033d ago

Ring of Fates and Echoes of Time don't require peripherals and Echoes of Time is online too(and released months before KH 358/2 Days), also they were entirely internally developed. Just thought I'd point that out.

Wada does seem insistent on multiplayer... which can be both good or bad. I suppose if it's secondary content like 358/2 Days and BBS then it's cool... just hope it doesn't end up like Resi 5.

Darkfiber5033d ago

Umm...there's the biggest multiplayer game they've ever made coming out in a few months...

Hardedge5033d ago

The experience isn't quite the same when comparing an MMO to a coop/competitive experience, they're built differently and for different audiences.

-Gespenst-5033d ago

Aaagh multiplayer this multiplayer that. There haven't been enough stellar single player titles. It's like people are getting too lazy to make story driven games. Sick of multiplayer.

Hardedge5033d ago

Hm well Peace Walker is a pretty stellar single player game :) And it's got coop too, which is a blast to play. I don't see why FF can't do the same.

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?

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

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

solideagle8d ago

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

Chocoburger8d 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.

carrotcakeag7d 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.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg11d ago

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