In an interview in the latest issue of Famitsu celebrating twenty years of Final Fantasy, translated by Develop, series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi has spoken candidly about the development conditions that surrounded the birth of the series' first outing.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.

That sucks that he left Square Enix....
hey WilliamRLBaker you are so wrong SE is nothing like EA the most important thing they do is care about their fans rather than making games with mass appeal and pissing of us, we can't get enough of FF7 or any FF so making new games or games set in same worlds doesn't mean they are making copies
Lacks soul. 10-2 was baad. And lame.and just and excuse to perv of those chicks. Every other one was awesome too,except 12. Oh well,lets hope they make the next one well.cuz once again,recycling ideas. Gun + sword ,ummm ,final fantasy 8? How much longer can square enix recycle? Their killing this awesome franchise. And it all seems to have happend since squaresoft and enix merged to form square enix.sad
Love the Final Fantasy games even since he is gone SE still make the best rpgs as far as i'm concerned. FF12 is fantastic but FF8 and FFT are my favorites having played them all. Wish him good fortune on his future projects.
