I played the PSP one and just found it really weird. There's a weird card element and it's not like any other FF I've played. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I actually thought Ff13 was better
I'm with you thekhurg, square has had a 11 year retreat, every other Japanese company has eaten their jrpg lunch. And now they want to feed us more of there j-western-action rpg remake. Slap in the face! Why don't square get the action rpg fan to buy their action rpg's like people bought the turn based? I know I know they say it takes 5-6 years to make an AAA turn based JRPG. But they should have given up on this force feed action a long time ago. Or at least sale the IP's to Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo by now.
Personally I still see it as a cash grab (a portable game remastered and sold at $70). That and a way for them to expand the PS userbase (primarily in Japan). It will be worth it for me when the price halves though for sure. I don't need a demo for a game that I know I'm going to play. We've already waited so long. Another year or so is nothing in the scheme of things.
@Kurisu im sorry THE DIGITAL DOWNLOADABLE DEMO now that i think about it it wouldnt make since if it was a disk but what matters is theres still a demo and i dont like how many people disagree about me wanting to play the demo
I don't think people are disagreeing with you because you want to play the demo. More so the fact that you're automatically shunning Type-0 HD when people have been crying out for a Western release for years. I played the Japanese PSP demo a few years back and it was a lot of fun. Maybe you should give it a chance.
@Kurisu Dude theres never a final fantasy game that i never played ive played type-0 on psp and u cant blame me for prioritizing a final fantasy game over the other
If it were not for Bloodborne, I'd be getting this. Love to get for the FF15 demo too, but Im afraid it may just sit there for awhile.
But it looks amazing and I will play it eventually. I also think that if square is smart, after they use the demo to sell a bunch of games, they should make it free for everyone...b/c it will only help their cause...I think.
Maybe, they figure only die hard FF fans will buy 0 and thus will be nicer concerning Duscae. I actually have faith in 15 though.
FF1,4,6,9,10, TA, and the original Tactics are all worth a shot depending on your tolerance for old-school RPGs. FF11 and its first couple of expansions were phenomenal, though painfully difficult, grindy, and sometimes wholly inaccessible.
I keep forgetting about the release of this. I'm on the fence still. I like RPGs and all, but I miss the turn based ones. I've had my action fill. There's not much thought and/or strategy involved in ARPGs IMO. Also, the demo isn't something that will make me buy it either. I've waited for Versus for a loooooong time, I already know I'm going to get it. The demo would just irritate me playing the same thing over and over until the game hits retail.
As for Square saying it take 5+ years to make a good AAA RPG, I'm inclined to disagree. They do it once, and then they have something to work from. Problem is, they're making excuses not to do it once.
Like others said, its a no-brainer actually. The game looks good, it seems to be more fun than all FF 13 games together and last but not least it also has that FF15 demo.
@Kurisu If the blue brontosaurus are lvl 99 or lvl 70+ , i'll fight them until i win . If i dont need to be lvl 99 to beat everything i wont grind till lvl 99.
its a decent effort on a HD port, we could see that they spent time on this instead of just rushing something out. the exclusion on multiplayer mode is kinda sad but i most likely would have just ignored anyway.
I feel like it's been years since there's been a JRPG I've really like, but I keep trying them out. I'm hoping this will scratch that JRPG itch, at least until Persona 5 comes out.
My dream would be a new Dragon Quest on consoles that follows in the footsteps of DQVIII. Hell, even a DQVIII remaster would be amazing.
Only if you can stomach the shity battle system (this goes for old school JPRG fans) & just to experience the story that's it, but it will be hard for someone who hate this brainless action crap to eat it in da face for so many hours until it finish the game, but what can you do blame the new gen of kiddie gamers, they love to button mash brainless in every game they play if this trend continue strategy & thinking will be completely removed from JRPGs, we will just hack n slash our way through, so much fun right?
As an old-school RPG fan I've got to say that action RPGs have the ability to be just as strategic and rewarding as turn-based ones. At first I thought KH and Elder Scrolls games were just mashing the attack button, but as you come across more difficult enemies, you are forced to think more about healing, positioning, guarding, weaknesses, timing, etc. As for mindless battle systems, I would have to cite Ni No Kuni. I loved the art style and story, but the battles were way too easy and tedious and the majority of your spells and moves just felt arbitrary. The monsters also start to feel overly derivative once you've gone through enough of the game.
The closer the release date, the more I want the chance to play Episode Duscae. So it's been pre-ordered. The more I learn about Type-0 the better it seems.
It's definitely worth buying a Vita for, I am SOOO happy that Square-Enix listened to their fans who petitioned for this game to come to the west on a portable.....wait, they've decided to ignore those people and put a portable game on a HD console, HUH?!?!
I disagree 100% I'm buying all multiplat games on the One because of my friends. I'd rather have people I know to play with then slightly better resolution
Considering we never got it in the west AND it's been completely revamped so it looks 100 times better than the psp? That's a definite yes.
Definitely, and it comes with Episode Duscae.
Like others said, its a no-brainer actually. The game looks good, it seems to be more fun than all FF 13 games together and last but not least it also has that FF15 demo.
It looks like two games (lvl 99 cap for the demo) in 1 for myself wich is great.
i dont see why it wouldnt be worth buying.
