Work on Final Fantasy XV Proceeding Smoothly; Final Fantasy X-3 Development Denied and More

Yesterday a few wild rumors appeared on the web about the alleged development of Final Fantasy X-3 and a new Dissidia: Final Fantasy due to an apparent mistranslation or misinterpretation of an article titled “The Truth on 2014′s Rumors” on this week’s issue of the Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu, that is now finally on the Japanese newsstands. The article also reveals that the production of Final Fantasy XV is on track and more.

Yaaaay Final Fantasy XV and Boo Final Fantasy X-3

Abriael4084d ago

I was surprised someone believed it. This kind of announcement isn't made off-handedly in this kind of piece.

KingKelloggTheWH4084d ago

Yeah if FFX-3 were in development it would be in the Earliest stages, most likely just ideas, it is doubtful we would hear about it for a few years.

Abriael4084d ago

More than that, we'd hear about it on a full featured dedicated 6 page article with pictures and all, not in a shared piece about rumors.

Snookies124084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

I do kinda hope Dissidia 3 comes about though... I would LOVE to see a new Dissidia on the Vita, or dare I say... PS4? Hey, a guy can dream...

As for X-3 if that's ever made, I'd be okay with it. I mean, X was a masterpiece, while X-2 was a 'good' game. If they make X-3 more like X in terms of writing/characters/story/etc. I am ALL for that. I hope to see a X-3 one day, just out of my love for X.

kayoss4084d ago

If the Final Fantasy x-3 is real. i would buy it but i rather them make a FFX CGI movie instead. It would be nice to see FFX as a movie because the story is more engaging than most FF. But they better show Tidus dodging 200 damn lightning bolts to get LuLu's celestial weapon or i will be pissed.

Agent_hitman4084d ago

That's a good news I hope that SE will release this game this year or next year.. E3 will be more amazing this year I'm waiting fir the announcement from SE.

TitanUp4084d ago

final fantasy 15 is one of my most anticipated games i just dont see it releasing this year.

Kurisu4084d ago (Edited 4084d ago )

Yeah this year isn't looking promising. Thankfully there's plenty of other games to play while we wait. And wait. And wait. Can't believe 2015 will be 9 YEARS!!! since it was announced as Versus XIII alongside FFXIII and Agito XIII.

Summons754084d ago

I see them trying to get it at least out in japan this year than year next year for the rest of the world. I mean I agree I don't see it this year 100% but I also have a hard time believe they will hold it another two years either. Ff have always had a huge delay between east and west releases.

Hopefully we'll get a more solid timeline e at E3

A new Dissidia would be great.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom37d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7737d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125171d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501171d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne171d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989171d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga171d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989171d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69171d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid171d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69171d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp171d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

I agree, I like SH3 the most though.

Cacabunga324d ago

Auto Modellista will always be one of my favorite racers of all time..

gold_drake326d ago

id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.

but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.

OtterX325d ago

I'd add Rogue Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus.

Scissorman325d ago

Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.

Venoxn4g323d ago

I would throw in MGS3 as well
