Mister Jack Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Even though it isn't my favorite in the series, I still want a vita remake or even re-release of FFXII. I feel like it'd be one of the better ones to have on a portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I thought XII was the MMO. Close enough. Its so close that I didn't even bother playing it. I've always described FF12s battle system as the most streamlined version of ATB we've ever had. No loading to get into the battles, you can move around while you wait for the gauges to fill, you can still pause if you want, you don't have to mash X like every other FF unless you don't want to, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Yeah FFXII is nice. I had a bummer moment in packing last week to find I was missing XII n X-2 and non of my friends had it. Then last night got a call that one of them did have it, just with their books, so I'm finally gonna beat that damn game cos it was pretty good (I'm like 90% of the way through, just I dragged out setting off the Bahamut stuff) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 From what I played of XII, it was pretty great. I'm still really hoping they'll do an HD version, but it seems like they want to completely re-do X, instead of going the MGS/Ico/Sly/GoW route, so we're probably years away from XII HD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 http://www.gog.com/e...i_pc_rerelease/ So FFVII is supposedly getting a PC (re)release. Cloud Saves (he shoots, he scores!!!) n achievements too. Given the initial PC release currently needs a host of mods n tweaks to run on modern systems I assume this is a reworking or re-port of that. I doubt it'll be the fabled HD remake.

TCP Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 No, not an HD remake but it'd be nice if they spent the time, upped the graphics a tiny bit (think, 3DS version of Ocarina of Time, looked like how you remember Ocarina looking, just a bit nicer), and released it on PS3 and Steam. I really want trophies for FFVII. PC Gamers: do you really want to play a 90s-console JRPG on your PC? Or should experiences like that stay with consoles?

deanb Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Given the fairly strong modding scene for the original near 15-year old PC release, I think folks do. And given it's the PC version and it already was "HD" there's not much to change. Just needs maybe some of the mods hard baking in and to run on modern systems without needing tweaks.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't see why console games shouldn't be on PC. We have game pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I just find games like FFVII "feel" like console games (specifically PlayStation, in this case), and maybe a game like Civ 5 "feels" like a PC game. I remember someone posting a similar article on one of the big gaming sites when FFXIII came out, and it was something I identified with. But if it has mods and a strong modding community, that's a pretty big advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think the only reason a lot of PC games aren't suited for consoles is the lack of kb/m support. There's no reason not to play console games on a PC though, unless it's a REALLY shitty port, since as soon as you've got the game booted and a pad in your hand it doesn't matter what box it's running on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yup. PC runs all sorts of inputs and all sorts of outputs. Given most console games can be made to look better on PC and you can use control scheme of choice it makes more sense to play "console games" on PC than on console a fair few times. Whereas the reverse is far from true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Most profitable FF game announced. It is.....*drum roll* Final Fantasy XI!! They didn't put a price on it mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hm. I don't know. Obviously, as North Americans (and Euros) it's hard for us to say what's going on in Japan, but you'd think the original Final Fantasy would be the most profitable, considering how many releases it's gotten, and how little it cost to develop. Or Final Fantasy IV which has been released a bajillion times. I don't know anyone who played XI (though, admittedly, I'd play the rumoured Vita version).

deanb Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well there is Japan to consider. And while FFI n FFIV have been released a bajillion times, that's only about 4-6 times each, not once a month recurring charge for nearly 10 years.

MasterDex Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) With even half a million active subscribers at any one time at €15 a month, that's €90,000,000 a year, it's no wonder it was the most profitable.

Mal Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 My cousin and her husband played/plays XI to hell and back. I suppose it is quite good, especially when compared to XIV which was just terrible from what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ah! Yes I forgot all about the subscriptions, I was only thinking about the game + expansion packs. I can't believe people still play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 So at a shareholders meeting Wada stated that there will be no FFVII remake until the original is topped. So where was the 2000 remake of FFVII? http://andriasang.com/con1ny/wada_on_ffvii_remake/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 X came out around 2000 I think. By the time X came out, I felt this general decline. Its a great game still but there was something off. XI by most accounts was still good but it stopped a fair number of kids like me from getting it because of its requirements for a HD and internet connection for the PS2. It priced me out. Then came XII with its changes to the battle system. It just didn't jive well with my tastes. XIII was pretty eh. XVI almost killed Final Fantasy from the looks of it. Square Enix really need a core battle mechanics to give Final Fantasy a new Final Fantasy feel. Between X to XIII, there was some stark changes between the games. It feels as if they're not related besides the name. Between I to X I could trace that they are part of the same franchise. Changes and evolution to the game mechanics have to be made but what they did was too many deep changes. Personally, I feel that Kingdom Hearts style combat would of been the way to go. It has a menu system and its active. Just the sort of direction FF needs. However with Kingdm Hearts having tha system, FF just can't just take it. So fuck do I know how they can set a new feel. So yeah, what I am trying to get at is that Final Fantasy isn't winning any fans with its constant changes some of which are pretty deep. If they want a game that can topple VII, they can start with giving FF a stable flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
