Joel Taveras writes, "This week we had the chance to catch up with folks from Square Enix who were in town to show off a handful of their upcoming releases. Among the previews that we sat through was a mini presentation and then an interview with gaming industry veteran and producer Takashi Tokita. We spoke about the “legacy” series of Final Fantasy titles (I – VI) which has hit (or in the case of VI, about to hit) both iOS and Google Play.
Tokita discusses the ins and outs of transitioning from consoles to mobile devices, including the necessary tweaks that come in to play for a more laid back, pick up and put down experience. During our discussion,Tokita also notes that he’s aware that fans are waiting for “VII and beyond… and that it’s something that is being contemplated by the higher ups at Square Enix.”
Check out the full interview below."
One of the most beloved entries in Square Enix’s long-running franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that’s cause for celebration!
I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.
This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames

One of the most influential RPG creators – developer of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Live A Live and Parasite Eve – talks about the future of the genre.
LIVE A LIVE’s original director and producer of the HD-2D remake Takashi Tokita talks to Marketing Manager Jay Curtis and Associate Sales Manager Megan Pelt about the history of the game, how the remake came to be, and what unique challenges present themselves in adapting a classic Super Famicom title to an audience outside of Japan nearly three decades later.
They jerked us in the west on numerous jrpgs. I get it the times we're different but it sucks knowing how many jrpgs we missed over a translation. Not just from square either. I like square doing these. I'd prefer beefed up graphical over hd2d but hd2d is pretty dope to so I won't hate. Keep em coming square.
Some physicals wouldn't hurt though wth
I hate this guy.
Final Fantasy should stick to Consoles and Dedicated Handhelds only.
how about you guys pull your head out of your ass and realize that the casual smartphone users don't give a shit about Final Fantasy, and focus on making the games on dedicated gaming hardware?
The legendary Director behind Parasite Eve , Please stick to Consoles :[
And please make a new PE <3
