The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has the results of a recent poll conducted by the magazine regarding which Koei Tecmo Warriors (or Musou) collaboration Japanese fans want to see happen next.
It's fairly common knowledge that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed a relatively smooth development cycle, owing to the fact that Final Fantasy 7 Remake's team was largely kept intact, and the first game had obviously laid the foundations in terms of visuals and gameplay systems. It took Square Enix around three years to craft Rebirth, and it expects the same kind of timeline when it comes to the third (and final) title in the trilogy.
I really think it should've been just one game or two at most, kept to the simple turn based combat, and no crazy changes to the story. But it's whatever. I liked rebirth but man was it bloated with so much unnecessary and repetitive stuff. Square is really betting their money on the remakes. I do admit the remakes have been the only mainline ff games Ive actually quite liked since probably 10 lol.
That's pretty crazy if you think about the 2005 PS3 tech demo that started this all! I'm not sure if they ever intended to remake the game at that time, but the fan outcry for it was so incredible that it eventually became a reality! Now imagine all of the fans who have died waiting for this. :\
I mean not too surprised, they already have most of all the assets already made. I just hope it's UE5 and they crank it to 11 and finish strong. I also hope they go back and upgrade Remake and Rebirth to UE5 too. BUY THE DAMN GAME PEOPLE!!
Interesting email from Koei Tecmo which states that the company based in Yokohama, Japan seeks civil litigation for IP infringement with regards to assets used by YOUZU (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD from the game series “Nobunaga’s Ambition” and “Taiko Risshiden”. According to the email it seems that YOUZU PTE.LTD used music and other assets from those series in its own marketing campaigns online for their game app the “Defendant App”.
