Finally. The first one was amazing, the true Final Fantasy 13 of last gen
Just a shame they did nothing with it sooner, I wish Hironobu Sakaguchi didn't have beef with Ken Kutaragi as being multiplatform might have gotten a sequel out earlier.
Given that few played it, that overall it failed to have any real impact except for being on the Xbox, no it didn't.
More to the point, not really knowing what MS plans are regarding game development while not giving up on the idea of GaaS, would not expect this to be a 100% good thing.
You're twisting the intentions of his Foxtrot's words to rebuke the point. It's quite obvious that "filling a role" in this case is connected to the idea of getting the classic Final Fantasy 'fix' where the main FF games went astray--either in respect to aesthetics, narrative, or gameplay (most obviously).
Taking the sales route to invalidate the point has become as banal as ukulele overuse from new indie bands.
@coolbeans: Sales and the fact that nothing of significance has been done with the IP are the only true measures to regard it. That Sakaguchi made it just says Sakaguchi made it.
If MS does make a new game but hand it off to a new studio, then what does that do? What value would it have as a FF game?
As someone who declares "The Emperor Has No Clothes" on a sadly increasingly regular basis, having been called out as both PS and Xbox fanboy and receiving some of the the most idiotic/threatening PMs, a few latter apologies, I've gotten use to it.
And the true point here is that only MS can prove me wrong by actually doing something. And even then when DMC5 is getting MTs and the Beyond Good and Evil "sequel" requires a constant online connection when they've been one of the leaders in such things. Not to mention MS have adamantly been against SP/RPGs even when announcing support for them. Revoked that support as soon as announce it.

It's like you've done nothing to rebut my response or Foxtrot's original intention in order to just pound your fists down once more. That LO 'only' made close to 1 million sales and didn't receive a sequel just says something about its iffy financial state which, AGAIN, wasn't the drive behind Fox's 'the true Final Fantasy 13 of last gen/filled a role' declarations to begin with.
-"And the true point here is that only MS can prove me wrong by actually doing something."
If that's the stance then you've really lost the plot and are just content with digging your heels in more than anything else. I mean...this demand seems so foreign in the context of what we're talking about. This whole branch of the conversation is about LO's mechanical/gameplay success compared to that of the FF13 games of the previous gen (according to certain fans). As far as what I've heard from various FF fans, there is more in line here with what the 'classic' FF's accomplished for them back in the day.
To be contorting the whole conversation to fit YOUR revised standard of what 'filling a role' means in this context is what's getting you in hot water. And to carry this presumptuous attitude of when you'll be considered 'wrong' in this discussion looks all the more embarrassing.
doesnt really need it (although I'm not sure what a remaster even is, other than a marketing term), just bump up the resolution and it will look amazing. Even at 720p it pushed the 360 past its limits, on the xbox one s/x its a very nice experience even today!
I do wonder if Microsoft look at original xbox games played on the Xbox one and via game pass to look at what ips to bring back from the original xbox and 360 days. Intresting times for the Xbox and I do wonder how many new and returning ips we will see.
yay! When this game first came out it was annoying to play because of the poor performance and really long load times, but on the xbox one x its amazing.
"While we´re on the topic of revisiting ideas how about Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey? The writing in the flashback scenes of the latter were particularly impressionable, so we´re sure people would be interested in seeing an elaboration of that."
Sakaguchi-san:
"I can´t say much on that, since the franchise license holder isn´t just me. That doors not shut, though, so you never know."
Probably won't account to anything. They had to renew it to be allowed to still sell the 360 version. That's all - people are presuming this means a new game...
Because you have to renew a trademark to maintain exclusivity over that trademark. Otherwise, anyone out there could use the name, title, characters, etc as it defaults to being Public Domain.
As the other person said - you only own the IP whilst it's registered. If they let it slip then others could technically grab the IP and do something with it. That's why I don't think people should read too much into this yet
I need to get around to finishing this game, I believe I got stuck after (NO SPOILERS) probably one of the most emotional moments I had with gaming. I think the difficulty got the best of me since I did not play many JRPGs and I usually played most games on Hard because I am usually pretty decent at all types of games save for strategy and puzzle games. Looks like I had to add JRPGs (specifically) to the list as I had a hard time, but I LOVED the story and character-building! Also, the short stories were perfect to sit down and read a bittersweet - mostly bitter - tale of the main character and his chronicles through a life as an immortal. I really hope this means they'll remaster it at the very least. I'd like to play it on the PC, but I might just have to break out my 360 one of these days as I don't have a XOne.
Very cool. Love the original, hopefully this means a sequel is coming.

Looks like we have some Grinches in this comment section with the downvote button, lol
Wouldn't mind a remaster of the original.
Every company does this unless they want a property going Public Domain though. Doesn't necessarily mean too much.
