All Square has to do is release FF Versus 13 man.

MaideninBlack4119d ago

I'm as hyped for Versus as anyone else and I do think under Nomura's direction it will give us a sense of what the series used to be but after that it's unclear what the future holds for Final Fantasy.

Dno4119d ago

or Mab we should wait for a new FF game to drop first? the last numbers FF games were 3 years ago in 2010. this year we will have ff14: RR lets wait till then

TheFirstClassic4119d ago

Was Final Fantasy 13 really that bad? It got fairly good reviews and looked good from what I saw of it. Not to the level of the old games but still good.

IronFistChinMi4119d ago

Well I enjoyed it, especially when you landed on Pulse. The battle system is enjoyable once you get used to it and the visuals/audio are great.

Is it one of the great FF's? No, but it's a good game.

paydayp4119d ago

i enjoyed it too have more then 100 hours in it.
the story was okay gameplay was good it was only to linear until you would reach pulse.
but that was okay for me i needed that time to get to know the battle system anyway.

No and it has a lot in common with ffx. People just hate Because it's the cool thing to do, most people who hate the 13s have either never even played the game for haven't played more than 5 minutes. Most veteran ff fans (people who played before the release of 7) enjoyed it. It may not be the best ff but it does hold the ff quality like all the games do. Haters are the minority but they have a loud annoying voice. I didn't enjoy 7 or 12 but I'll at least admit the gameplay in them was to ff standards which made them good.

gear4119d ago

how come you didn't enjoy final fantasy 7 the story was really good like based on real life story of a soldier no ex-soldier who has lost every thing even the woman he loved and yet fighting to save the world.Then there is another person who's aim was to be great and protect is country no company but soon realized that he was betrayed and was a lab rat for them.
this kind of a story is inspiring and make us all know to be cautious though now days i just play metal gear games since its more inspiring.

well i am not saying all final fantasy series should be like this but to not like it that's shocking.

It was a pretty game that played itself. Almost a movie with some interactive elements - a dull movie btw, w/ a terrible cast of characters.

So even though it was a great game from a technical standpoint, yes it was really that bad.

Blues Cowboy4119d ago

It just needs to take a break for a while after Lightning Returns, IMO. Square could sit back and think of a story that deserves being told through a game - working on some new IPs too - before coming back refreshed. At the moment, they're trying to force out stories and characters for the sake of making a Final Fantasy game, and it's hurting the brand.

Dms20124119d ago

Just reboot the franchise, its all the rage with movies.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5210d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5210d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212110d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens529d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens529d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani9d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum10d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman
