Wada: Final Fantasy brand now 'greatly damaged' |
Listed in: News Tags: Final Fantasy, Square Enix, Yoichi Wada
You'll probably be agreeing with what Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has to say about the Final Fantasy brand.

According to him, everything just went downhill following the Final Fantasy XIV launch last year. He made these feelings public at a press conference held in Japan earlier this morning. Despite his concession, however, he stressed that they will "continue with our reform work, which basically amounts to fully redoing the game, and hope to revive the FFXIV that should have been released."
Now I can't help but wonder what kind of FFXIV they actually envisioned to release at that time. Had it been up to you, how would you have wanted it done? What do you think they should have done so as to have avoided damaging their own brand?
At the recenty concluded TGS, Square Enix confirmed that they will be coming out with a remake of FFX for the PS Vita and the PS3. They're also pushing forward with their online campaign, confirming that Final Fantasy Type-0 will be available via digital distribution as well.

You think its not worth it for them to actually do some hard work?
So you'd rather them take the easy road out?
maybe you should shut the fuck up and practise what you preach, hmmm?

maybe you should shut the fuck up and open your mouth AFTER you've done some research, hmmm?

10 to fifteen years ? are you crazy ?
it takes 1 to 2 years to create a complete new game ! But at FF-7 you already have the story and more ! it would only take one year to finish

The difference is that, since they seem to have lost their ability to make good new games, maybe with an existing concept, they could do something good. At this point, though, I have little confidence is SE--it's just as well that they don't remake ffvii 'cuz they'd probably find some way to screw it up.

Yet somehow, they put ZERO of these features in FFXIV. It was if they didn't give a crap what players had requested for the past 6 years in FFXI. Take FFXI and improve on it, that's what they should have done.

Fully utilize the space on a double bluray and stuff your FF games with tons and tons upon content, beautifully pre-rendered cutscenes and did I say lots of content yet?
Going multiplatform with FF13 and thus delaying the PS3 release of the games was a very bad move. I just hope that they won't pull such shit with FF13-Versus.
If so, then people will always be moaning and bitching about what could have been if Xbox360 didn't come and butt in with their 6~7Gb discs.
Although their might not be any cuts in content or whatever, fans and fanboys will always perceive this differently and this is general means; a damaged reputation.

Like the comment above stated, you wanna cry about it so hard, fucking get your PSOne out and play it on there.

And as for "7 isn't even good", who are you seriously? It seems like your someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.

You lose.
You earn a retard point.

I started with 7 and I think it is the best fF game I have played. The Story was awesome, the music was great and i LOVED the materia system. I did however go back and play the others, I love 4 - 6 and i hated 8. I loved 9 and liked 10. 10-2 was OK spent 4 1/2 years in 11 and Loved 12 till I beat the end guy and was seriously disappointed by how easy he was.
Your comment that 7 isn't even good is just your opinion, just as TuckerN's is his. It is stupid how people bash one another for their simple opinion on what they think of their favorite game, whether it is viewed the same way generally or not. No reason for people to try and shove their views and opinions on others because they think its right. thats how flame wars start.
Reply
Despite that, your right, forcing opinions on others is pointless.
If I had an account I would thumb you up for your voice of reason.

I will let you off the retard point this time. But I will make sure you earn it back soon buddy!

If you didn't understand what he meant, maybe should save that retard point for yourself

Retard point earned. Congratulations .

Sorry, I got a little rant stuck in my throat there. It just annoys me when elitist idiots like to bash things and the people who like them just because they're popular. Yeah, I scratch my head when it comes to popular opinion often enough, but sometimes it turns out something is popular for a reason. Turning your nose up at something just because it's popular doesn't automatically make you cool.

13 was nice but had way too many CGI scenes and less interaction.
I'd be nice to ride a ship and crash into something during a scene. FF7 had a motorcycle scene. We need more of that, interaction. Also the combat was meh on 13 but I got used to it. I miss the victory music. Didn't follow any old traditions and didn't feel much like a FF game.

FFXIII just felt like a straightforward corridor; the gameplay metaphorically speaking, the maps literally so. Sorry SE, but you can't churn out any old game, stamp Ifrit on its ass and call it FF.

I think they should have made FF12 its own game and called it Ivalice or something.

Uhm. Yeah. :?

FF14 however was an absolute bombshell in comparison. The game was a complete mess, and it's pretty obvious that SE either didn't understand what consumers wanted or the playtesters were complete morons. I've been keeping an eye on it since release, and they are making an honest effort to fixing it. The new lead producer understands what needs to be done and is actually listening and discussing improvements to the game with the community. It still needs a lot of work, but it is slowly getting to what it should have been. Despite that, it's always going to be lugging around a damaged reputation and will likely never be as successful as it could have been. They simply dropped the ball on this one.

Where's the classic fanfare music? Where's the sandbox world for us to explore? Where's the romance that we've come to known in FFIV - FFX? Where's the awesome plotlines followed by the solid execution present in the pre-PS2 eras?

I miss the Psx games at most, because it didn't contain voices but had long text as you said. Same goes to the RE series if you ask me.

FFX was the start of a change, still a great game.
FFXI was good as an MMO for the time period, until WoW revolutionized it all.
FF12, This game was really good. It had a complicated and fun battle system, had a huge MMO style world. But it wasn't FF traditionally. They could've just called it another game.
FF13... sorry, pretty graphics, dumbed down gameplay. Doesn't deserve the FF brand on it. Level up system for weapons, linear gameplay, and monster hunting? Thats it and you want to call it a FF? This game was the perfect sign that jRPG's needed to work HARD to take back the crown.
FF14. don't like it. But I didn't play it longer than 30 minutes. But the reviews already said it all.
Reply
Why don't you play longer then 30 minutes and form your own opinion about it instead of relying on others to do it for you. 30 minutes basically gets you past the opening and barely into everything. or.."whets" the appetite. Try a bit and see if you like it for yourself.

My best FF was 6, 7, 9, 3, 2, 1, 4 and 5, in this order. Dont like the 8 either. The 8 was for lazy people who dont like to grind and had too much repetitive cutscenes and doesnt had a original plot. After the 9 the serie beggins to fall in each iteration. Ive dont like the 12 either... that battle system simple isnt FF at all and i agree with the guy who writes that it should me called another game.
So, that it for Square... or they come back to the old stile and make their fanbase very pleased or they will crumble.

i want to pick up 12 again cause i didnt realize any of the stuff i said above 8 till like my 3rd play-through cause i kept hitting the auto-jct button so im willing to bet 12 has more hidden behind its system then meets the eye. although its story is pretty dull in my opinion.
everything else you said though is me to a T. ha

I bet if SE did do as the fans pleased they'd still get shit on by all you ungrateful people.
I never played any of the old FF's, tried but got bored really fast. As for X, XI, and XII, I liked. Now I know I'll get flamed saying that, I'm not a true fan of the series, yadda, yadda, yadda, but who determines that? Not you that's for sure.
Let SE do what they do best, make games. Jump off the FF VII Bandwagon and step into the future.

I would love to see a remake of ffvii, but the reality is that there wont be one. At least not this generation. If they are going to continue to do remakes though, I want to see them of different games too. Sick of seeing them for ff1-2,4. Seriously? how many do those games need? how about 5 or 6? or 8 / 9? you can't do 12 cuz its not old enough yet. you can't do 11 cuz its an MMO. Can't do 10-2 without 10 (which their doing now of course) and can't do 13 since its too new too. or better yet, How about a remake of Brave Fencer Musashi? that game was awesome. or Vagrant Story or any other amazing Square RPG.

"I don't agree with those who are saying that FF7 wasn't the best. I just don't see how you could think that FF10 with its weak lead Tidus, FF12 with its lack of a lead and FF13 which was very linear for an FF game is better than FF7. Sorry but I just dont agree, goodbye.
See, was that hard?
