Final Fantasy XVI Devs Say a Call of Duty-Like Shooter FF Spin-Off Isn't Inconceivable

Final Fantasy XVI developers said a Call of Duty-like first-person shooter Final Fantasy spin-off game isn't inconceivable.

[-Foxtrot]

Please no

[Eonjay]

Please yes. Do it!

[monkey602]

I hope its a battle royale

[M3talDiamond]

Oh God! when things finally started to look good again for Final Fantasy Please dont taint the series

[S2Killinit]

But is it really bad news? I mean it doesnt have to be a bad thing. Its not not it comes at the expense of the main game.

[VincentVanBro]

As soon as Square Enix succeeds its already excited to fail again. Gotta love those crazy bastards.

[neutralgamer1992]

Like the minions keep at it

[GamingSinceForever]

Well it should be.

[jznrpg]

A shooter rpg could be cool. Make some turn based spin offs too

[Flakegriffin]

Sounds awful

[sadraiden]

Dirge of Cerberus. It's not an amazing game, but iykyk

[Demetrius]

I don't see it as a bad thing, but being call of duty like means little to no story and full blown a** multiplayer smh they should be considerate towards their fan base, we got enought of the typical multiplayer shooters, honestly online gets boring to me I rarely do multiplayer

[jznrpg]

If it was CoD like that would make it crap. But a shooter rpg could be pretty cool in FF universe.

[neutralgamer1992]

Honestly a shooter with FF16 type story with RPG elements yes please

I love yakuza dead souls it’s one of the most underrated yakuza games. If they could update the controls and release it again I would buy it

[shinoff2183]

Still have this sealed to this day. I never got to playing it.

[Juancho51]

I think its a great idea. I would play it, and it'd be good for people who play RPGs but never had a reason to jump into FPS genre. Im actually super excited about the idea. I used to play COD, I stopped cause it was just so repetitive and there's no lore or magic or any twists to keep it interesting!

Imagine an FPS where you can hurl a fireball or cast a protection or healing spell or fuckin cast HASTE AND RUN AROUND KNIFING lol, tits are jacked just on the idea.

[NatsuXTheMaxspeed21]

no,

[shinoff2183]

Hopefully not. There's enough shooters , plus so many released during the 360 ps3 Era I'm burned out beyond comprehension.

[CrimsonWing69]

Ok now you’re pushing it. That’s f*cking when even I’d check out. Let’s not be dumb now, please.

[shaenoide]

Please no. Make interesting side quests in your game or modernize the game design. Everything look old AF

[MrChow666]

That's a bizarre concept...

[refocusedman]

is ff16 even a rpg or is it devil may cry with a story.

[CrimsonWing69]

I’m pretty sure Devil May Cry has a story 🤔

[refocusedman]

if you ever played dmc you would realize that it's not really a game based on great story telling. ff 16 is a hack and slash game with no strategy involved. I actually like the game thus far but, this definitely not the final fantasy that I've played throughout the years.

[CrimsonWing69]

@refocusedman

Maybe don’t play the game on “easy mode” and take off the ring that lets you automatically do a variety of moves by pressing Square.

It boggles my mind that people play a game on easy mode and then complain all they have to do is press Square.

Yea I’d like to watch you press just square on bosses and see how far that gets you. There’s plenty of strategy involved, here let me give you a scenario:

1) You want to break the stagger meter
2) when you hit the halfway mark and see a flash you switch to Garuda and grab the enemy to knock them out briefly
3) use an Eikon ability to chunk as much of the stagger meter down
4) Precision Dodge attacks and magic comb 4x to break the remaining stagger meter
5) once staggered use all Eikon abilities available to chunk the health and Limit Break as well

But oh… apparently no strategy involved and just pressing Square is all you need to do, phhbbbtt maybe with just the auto-combat ring that cycles through all those moves.

I can’t help but think it’s such a joke listening to people mention “no strategy” in battles. All bosses require strategy in this game. I want to literally watch someone fight Typhon and only mash Square and apply 0 strategy. It’ll make for a good laugh.

Also, DMC has a story. I don’t know what Devil May Cry you played but if I YouTube all cutscenes for something like DMC 4 I see 2 and half hours worth of cutscenes… that’s longer than most theatrical movies. So, yea, there’s story in those games.

[refocusedman]

if you actually read what I said instead of writing a novel you would realize that i stated the story in DMC isn't great. as for strategy I'm mot sure what game your playing. last time I checked it's hit square a ton while occasionally hitting triangle. btw don't forget to press R1.

[CrimsonWing69]

@refocusedman

And if you’d read what I said, I’m telling you to not play on easy mode and un-equip your auto “safety” rings. The reason you’re able to spam Square is because you have the easy mode items on.

The point of my “novel” was exactly to debunk your whole “no strategy” comment and to point out how people are crying about it being easy with no strategy due to the fact they’re on easy mode.

I don’t know how far you’re in, but I assure you if you’re not using the auto-easy mode accessories you absolutely cannot sit there and spam Square to win.

Try it.

Also, your whole “Devil May Cry with a story” comment was why I mentioned there’s a story in the DMC games… not sure how you keep moving the goal post here, but my point is that there IS a story in those games. Whether you think it’s good or not is subjective and irrelevant.

[lucian229]

unless it's Parasite Eve, i never want to hear Square Enix and shooter in the same sentence again

[Juancho51]

Do it. Do it NOW. I would love to see a Type-0 type of game but in first person as a COD game. So much potential. I would play it without hesitation. Even the FF7 universe could have something like this work.

[Bahamut-Shin]

if the manage to refine what the did with Final Fantasy 15's shooting mechanics the may be able to pull of a awesome action third person shooter: https://youtu.be/4h3s3F46qW...

[Aaroncls7]

FF - Dirge of Cerberus already did it

[X-23]

At this point I don't even mind anymore. Spin-off's are what keeps the franchise alive and also what opens up potential new doors. Saying no doesn't seem to stop it, so may as well embrace it. Instead of Call of Duty I would prefer a game like Chivalry or something, would also be nice if they remastered Dissidia Duodecim like they did Crisis Core, that'd be fun.

[Rikimaru-00]

o gosh please no, this is a really bad idea. COD is nothing but a bunch of 1 hit kill weapons and also pay to win weapons.
