Even back then, I had high hopes of an MMORPG that mixed Final Fantasy XI's story and character attachment with World of Warcraft's highly playable game interface. An unachievable dream? As it turns out, no - but only if Square is willing to give us some much-needed improvements.
Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida has responded to speculation regarding his involvement with the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake.
had stated that the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake is real and that it will retain the classic turn-based combat seen in the original.
I hope this is true, that's what I want from a remake. FF7R is actually really good, but not what I was looking for from the remake.
FF7R deviated too much from the original for me, so I hope the FF9 remake is closer to the original game.
I didn't think so, I actually really liked the way they fleshed out the story more. I enjoyed it more than the original.
I can't wait for it to be revealed and I am hoping it will not be episodic or simply a remaster.
Yes make one complete game with AAA game development taking 3-5 years for each game if it's another trilogy than we will be waiting a decade plua just for the complete edition
One game which should be done with all the content and add improvements where necessary
You’re dreaming if you think these old pre-rendered background FF games can be remade in a fully 3D open world in 3-5 years with all the mini games.
I hope they keep the original art style instead of going for the hyperrealistic look like they did with FF7R, it would ruin the charm of the game otherwise.
Ffs can you focus on the goddamn mmo you leech.
The healers are going on strike cause you gave them a ONE BUTTON dps rotation. They have often nothing to heal.
You keep ignoring player feedback if it isnt jpn.
Stop taking our sub money and funding everything else but the mmo
Pisses me off how badly they screwed over ff8. That game deserves a proper remake. It was the first fully 3d final fantasy game.
FFVIII is not fully 3d, and in what way do you mean it was before FFVII in the "3d verse"?
First "fully" 3d Final Fantasy was FFXI, even thou FFX was close.
FFVII to FFX uses pre rendered backgrounds (still images). In FFVII - FFIX, only worldmap was fully "3d".
TheGamer Interviewed Naoki Yoshida: "A lot of people have been playing together with me and they don't even realize it."
The harbor is your first location, from where you can run off to different neighborhoods. You can find the Aetheryte square quickly, the other parts are already laid out gradually. Basic insight: Tulliollal is built on a hill, so it has an even larger vertical footprint than, for example, Old Sharlayan in Endwalker. While the harbor is down, the royal palace is all the way up, and you can wander into different nooks and crannies.
This game seems like it's going for a totally different demographic than WoW. Everything is much slower paced and more linear.
Pretty sure this is just going to be the next iteration of FFXI. The people that loved that game or at least that type of game will move to this.
Hmm in my opinion no, most people have already attached themselves to WoW and many will continue to cling to it. The main reason I think it won't is two fold the first being the WoW expansion that is due this year I believe? The second being that people will actually complain about the lack of jumping. Sad but it could quite possibly be truth for many of the WoW Players, or perhaps they just didn't like the design of it all and are simply going to bypass it.
Either way I sadly have to wait for the PS3 version...
It will blow it out of the water.
Nuff said.
At first, sure. People will want to try out the new mmo. But give it a few months and they'll be back to WoW. Especially once Cata ships. The way FF14 plays is completely different from how WoW plays. And that will probably turn a lot of people off.
I don't see this game coming anywhere near the numbers WoW has atm. Let alone, what they had at their peak.
Nah. I doubt most people subscribe to multiple MMOs so any WoW fans already invested in the game probably won't switch, at least not for long term. It could bring in new fans but odds are if people are already invested in an MMO like WoW then they won't be playing FFXIV too, especially once Cataclysm comes out. WoW is a juggernaut. I'm looking forward to DC Universe Online, hopefully that one turns out good and doesn't turn into APB. I was gonna get APB, good thing I decided to "wait and see."
