Square Enix would consider making Final Fantasy Type-0 its own series

Square Enix has expressed interest in making direct sequels to Final Fantasy Type-0, similar to what happened with Final Fantasy XIII.

Game director Hajime Tabata explained how the publisher originally prototyped a sequel following the completion of the PSP version, and following the upcoming HD remaster for PS4 and Xbox One, would now consider making the game its own series.

Indeed. Careful, though these sequels are often no where near as good as the orginal.

sssb3341d ago

Right, they should wait for game released and see fans feedback.

SE" F**K the fans we need money"

Baka-akaB3341d ago

??? the game is old and was already successful in Japan and a hot item on the wanted list of all western jrpg fans . They dont exactly need the feedback of the ps4 western port to know the potential for a sequel

NoctisPendragon3341d ago

I dont see FF Type-1 the same way as FF Type-0-2.

Lirky3341d ago

maybe itll be like atlus persona franchise.

-Foxtrot3341d ago

No

FF games should be one off games. I'm sick of series being made of them. Move on and create something new. I'll be disappointed if FF15 gets sequels lile FF13

They are called FINAL Fantasy for a reason

Baka-akaB3341d ago (Edited 3341d ago )

Except it's already a spin off , of course they can do sequels of it . I'd rather they do it with stuff like Type 0 and crystal chronicles or whatever , and stop releasing FFXV-2 , FFXVI-3 etc .

Besides it already got a mobile game sequel ... and i wouldnt mind more games with completely different story exploring the same system and gameplay further

Eonjay3341d ago

I don't ever understand statements about what games 'should be'... like there is only one way. They are not called 'Final Fantasy' for the reason you purport.

Spotie3341d ago

Nevermind whether or not the games are good, right? The simple fact that it's a sequel is enough for you to damn it?

That's pretty sad.

Snookies123340d ago

It was stated a while back that FF XV was going to have room for a possible sequel. Not sure if that's still the case, but yeah...

spacewarrior13340d ago

thats not how the games industry works and you know that. once something is successful a company will milk it for everything its worth. even with franchises like GTA which i used to look fond to just gets worse with each version. GTAV was the most soulless and boring game i've played in a long while whereas GTA 3 and Vice City were relevations to me.

LAWSON723340d ago (Edited 3340d ago )

They are called 'Final' Fantasy, because Square Enix was going bankrupt and Sakaguchi was going to quit after it was finished. They actually believed it was going to be the companies swan song.

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

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

gold_drake316d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9317d ago

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

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1154d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841154d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1154d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
