Wada: Final Fantasy brand now 'greatly damaged'

Posted Sep 27, 2011 at 9:30AM EST by Mabie A.

You'll probably be agreeing with what Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has to say about the Final Fantasy brand.

 

finalfantasyxiv

 

 

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.

I wouldn't say the brand is damaged, more like the their online campaign is damaged. Just because an online only game doesn't do as good as it should, that doesn't mean the offline games are going to be ruined. Besides, everyone knows you can't really compare a MMORPG game to an actual RPG game. There's just too many elements in an MMORPG game seperates it from being an RPG game.

The simple reason for FF failing recently is that each FF iteration is becoming less and less FF like. Remember the days when FF had no voices and just crazy long text and beautiful cutscenes to convey the story. Remember the days when FF would generally be exclusive to one console at a time(SNES, PSX, PS2). Remember the days when the worlds used to be original as well as massive, allowing you to roam to no end and also when the worlds weren't based in FUCKING IVALICE ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Remember when the main character was actually the main character(vann) . Remember when they would promise an FF game would be exclusive and not go multi platform with it halfway through development thereby compromising the game(FF13).

I for one, can't seem to remember...

Final Fantasy XIII was amazing, keep that crap to yourself, the games only issue is that it was different, play past the first 2-4 hour and ur fine. ppl bitch but the game is one of the generations best rpgs, they explained the ffvii remake, cuz the game wasnt made in 3d other then character models, so they would literally have to recreate the entire game while final fantasy ten, they change the engine, and character models, then retexture everything like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Remake)

remaking the entire FF7 game would bring an incredible amount of revenue.
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?

It's not about the revenue. They've said themselves a proper FF7 remake, taking the "hard work" approach you love so much, would take about ten to fifteen years.

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

the story is the ONLY thing you have. FFVII would have to be remade into a new engine, the camera were LOCKED into place so the entire town would have to be made, seeing how Alan Wake and Final Fantasy XIII took almsot more than 5 years to make. It doesn't take 1-2 years moron.

# RE: RE: RE: RE: It's damaged.Snaku 2011-09-29 21:02
That 10-15 years thing is a cop-out. It would certainly take a good deal of work and it would be like developing a game from scratch (aside from the existing assets that could be brought over from AC for fmvs or whatever), but there's no reason it should take 10 years. There's no reason they couldn't build it using the ffxiii engine (not that I'm suggesting they do so; just saying).

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.

Every FF game was good. You can say FFVII was the best ad what not but that's just your view on it. Saying FFVII is the best is the same as me saying FF1 was the best. Is it really? Who knows, to be honest, who really cares. It's a FF game. FF games have always been good, it's the fans who pick just that one or two FF game that ruins the name. If you're a fan of FFVII, but dislike FFXIII or any other FF game, then that just shows that you're not a fan of FF itself, but a fan of FFVII. There's a big difference. A real FF fan, like some people, will enjoy it just because it is a FF game. If you like the game but not the brand, then you shouldn't be complaining.

I agree. They just need to take a good few years off, a prolonged moment of respite, then come back with a solid next instalment. No more diluting the brand with spin-offs, and spin-offs of spin-offs, and sequels to prequels to games that we've already had closure to.

While I agree that the spin-offs/sequels are annoying, you must understand the reason for them, right? It's all about re-using the existing engine and game assets. They throw some new clothes on the characters, build some new stages and write a new story and then just copy and paste everything else in. New full priced game at significantly less development cost.

To this day FFXI is THE most refined MMORPGs I have played. SO much attention to gameplay detail, so much variety, so much customization, yet you are never so overwhelmed that you choose to do nothing. You can pick to spend 5 min playing some Chocobo games, or spend 12hrs+ doing quests or simply exp-ing.

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.

Final Fantasy went down hill after Final Fantasy IX. X was WAY too linear, XI I actually played for about 3 years, that was mainly due to other people that I enjoyed playing with. XI actually was a challenge and had its frustrations, but that is what made it great. It wasn't an MMO that allowed you to just get handed everything like WoW. XII was a lot of fun and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought it was a splendid Final Fantasy. XIII was probably more linear than X was. What happened to the world map? Who was the person that decided to deviate from Final Fantasy but still keep the title? I mean VII, VIII, and IX all still had the world map and free roam. That in itself has a huge impact on the game. As for XIV, I have played it quite a bit, but you can easily tell it is an incomplete game. They are trying to find a happy medium between Japan and US style of MMO play. Something where it is challenging and tedius, as well as solo and free flowing. Turn based seems like a lost art to all games other than the Dragon Quest series who have stuck to the, what is now deemed, JRPG style.

Square, drop Xbox360 development for your FF games and you are good to go.

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.

Hate to break it to you, but 7 was not as great as people make it. Main reason why everyone loves 7 so much is because it is the first one that they have played. Even if it is not, 4-6 blows 7 away. Even 3 does.

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.

Actually my favourite FF is FF8. I wasn't trying to force my opinion on anyone else, I just thought it was completely ludicrous that he could say FF7 wasn't good. That's like saying you didn't like the Godfather(fair enough) but also that it sucked as a movie(really?).

Despite that, your right, forcing opinions on others is pointless.

Why does liking ff7 make a person a sheep? 7 is my favorite and it's not because it's popular or because I consulted any sort of list of great games: it's because of the FF's I've played, it was the one I enjoyed the most. Yeah, it probably has something to do with the fact that it was my first ff game (my first rpg, actually--imagine my disappointment when I tried to move on to others only to find out that they were 16-bit-looking-big-headed sprites on 16-bit looking backgrounds on my 32 bit Playstation... but I still enjoyed BoF3). The graphics were still a little on the cutesy side but instead of some teenage dweeb on a coming-of-age quest like so many games of that ilk featured, you're a tough (if a little emo) mercenary. Tough characters like Solid Snake, Dante, Lara Croft make for great games; why do so many jrpgs make you play as wusses like Alex (Lunar) or Raiden (before they made him into a cyborg ninja)? I didn't see any of the plot twists coming (they killed off one of the major characters halfway through the game?! He's a brainwashed delusional clone?! Oh... just a brainwashed delusional dude).

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.

FF4-10. After that it was different.

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.

I consider XII a "true" FF game myself. It was the most daring with its battle system, which is the biggest deviation we've seen, and the story was a little too convoluted and slightly hard to give a crap about, but it was an FF game at heart. It had the exploration, the customization, the enemies, the complexity, and the attention to detail. Was it great, like most FFs? Not really. But it was FF.

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.

All i can say is the sign of a good FF game is the more you play the better it gets, and i never get bored playing VII, and 8,9 &10 were pretty good but people can try til their tits fall off to defend everything since but i tried them once and had zero interest in playing again, and to me replayability is the only thing that matters with any game.

I would also disagree that the FF name is damaged, but rather their online campaign efforts are. 13 got plenty of flak, but it was still a good game when it comes down to it. Every issue it had was simple nit-picking by consumers because they weren't getting what they expected, which is completely retarded given what the Final Fantasy brand is known for.

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.

As much as I loved FFXI, is turning FFXIV into the exact same thing but with better graphics the solution? Some of the changes being implemented now are things that should've always been there (chocobos, more balanced content, etc.) Originally, the battle system was more reminiscent of something like City of Heroes or Guild Wars. I thought that the Final Fantasy franchise was also attributed to evolution/progress. Now it's just being made into another clone, sadly.

Sorry, I can never envision FF making past VS13, if they want to continue with the franchise, they'd better start making better decisions in similar contrast as Tales series did.

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?

These games haven't been true to their name in years. They just slap on the name and cash in. Glad they're realizing that just using the name won't make them as much cash as being true to the name. Haven't enjoyed or cared for character since FF7.

FF9 was the last true FF experience.

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.

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.

FF9 was the last true FF iteration. 10 had the worldmap too linear and i dont like that thing of getting all the characters in your party already in the begining of the game. They was trying to renew the serie, but looking at DQ8, a good old serie dont need to be THIS renewed.

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.

you should try 8 again. in my honest opinion the junction system was the best for grinding where it was all based off of magic. meaning even after you capped out at 100, if you set out to get good/powerful magic there was always ways to boost your stats and based off of what magic you used and where you placed them on your attributes you could literally make you character how you saw fit.

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 played ff8 about 10 times and everytime a hear a tune from ff8 i feel like i want to play the whole game again.

I think SE should stick to what they're doing. You can't grow if you just constantly try to relive the past. For all of the fanboys of FFVII, come on... no, seriously, come on.

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.

Finally, someone who said Brave Fencer Musashi! One of the best SquareSOFT titles imo.

Greatest FF game of all time? I'm not saying it wasn't unenjoyable(is that a word?) but at best it was a decent/good jrpg for handhelds.

Homophobia is usually a clear sign of homosexuality. All you had to say was the following2:

"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?

The last Final Fantasy game I enjoyed was IV. The rest have been over-stylized, grind-happy spamfests.

I guess I'm a deviant, XIII has been my favourite so far.
Versus will likely change it.
