    There have been countless Final Fantasy released over the past 35 years, but there have also been countless Final Fantasy games that were cancelled part-way through development.

      @anthonydelfino6171 Год назад +19

      The two of them really do need some love. Especially 6 being considered to be one of the best in the series, but also one of the hardest to access for modern gamers. If you're a console gamer, like me, you have to pull out your PS3 and get the PS1 version of the PlayStation store (assuming also like me you don't enjoy playing games like these on your mobile phone)
      I had really high hopes after the 4 remaster that they'd do 6 next, but after they skipped straight to 7 I just now realize that my favorite game in the series will be ever consigned to crappy reskins. (I HATE the look of the pixel remaster)

      Until the Pixel Remaster, FF6 got the absolute laziest treatments. Even then, aside from the music, it just didn't feel like they put much thought into it. Disappointingly bright pixel graphics and a couple of moments of 2.5D? And censorship? Really? Squeenix must think it's sufficient to give Kefka a visual upgrade in Dissidia and FF14 and leave it at that.

      FF12 is my favourite game of all time and I'd love to see some kind of high budget sequel one day. However, I think the story concept for Fortress is such a massive deviation from how grounded FF12 is and it would be way too jarring. I'm sorry but "ancient being that has slumbered for thousands of years and has now awakened to seek revenge" is just such a lazy and overused plot device, especially in RPGs. I honestly think going through with that kind of story would have tarnished FF12's now praised story structure/writing style.
      It took 15+ years for people to finally start singing FF12's praises, so I hope that if we get a sequel for it, it wouldn't just be some generic RPG plot with a one-dimensional ancient evil being as the main villain.

    As a Matsuno fan, the FF Tactics 2 loss hurts. BUT.. at least we got the brilliant Vagrant Story. But that game needs a comeback! It's been over 23 years, so I'm really hoping we get a remake or at least a good remaster akin to Tactics Ogre Reborn and War of the Lions.
    Also, never giving up hope for a proper FF6 remake! :) Kitase once said in an interview that staff at Square want to do it, so it should just be a matter of time. Whether it's in HD-2D or full on 3D, I don't really care at this point, as long as it gets a proper modern upgrade with a lot of TLC!

    I remember waaaaaaaay back then in the PS3 era when "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" was in it's early years of trailers, I remember thinking why just rework it into *Final Fantasy XV* due to it having little-to-nothing to do with FFXIII in terms of lore or art direction. And sure enough a few more years later, they did indeed.
    And it's so awkward replaying Dissidia on PSP and seeing that icon of Noctis there under the "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" tab lol. We wouldn't get to play as some version of the character for nearly another decade. 🥴

    The whole versus XIII saga broke my heart, the concept shown in the original trailers of 2006 and onward were literally my ideal game! I have little hope in Verum Rex turning into anything close because times have changed and no one is making games with that sweet mid-2000's edgy aesthetic. That said, I *LOVED* FFVIIR, enjoyed KHIII, and look forward to Nomura's upcoming projects.
    As an aside, I wasn't the biggest fan of the III and IV remakes on the DS but still disappointed V never got one. That said, I would have been jubilant if V (and VI) got the PSP treatment that I, II, and IV did with the beautiful sprite-work. Final Fantasy V is, and always will be, my favourite mainline game so any love it gets would be good (excluding the iOS abomination).
    That all leads me to my impossible fantasy: Final Fantasy V remake on modern consoles. Directed by Tetsuya Nomura, the score arranged by Yoko Shimomura, and the combat system lifted directly from Kingdom Hearts I or II. A man can dream....

IMO it wasn't shallow as the team really took more than just the OG and polish it up, but reintroduced scrapped story ideas from the game's earliest concepts.
      FF5 has been stuck in a 2D sprite/smoothover limbo for about 30 years. Any remake that pushes it into a 3D format or even a more experimental art style would be a huge bonus.

    Personally, FFVI remake hurt the most. I remember expecting them to do a DS FFV after playing FFIV, but hoping that by the time they got around to VI it would be on 3DS. Would have been so good.
    That and fortress. I never particularly liked Vaan or Penelo, but I really liked Basch. So a game based on him without the other two sounded pretty great.

      @drumjod Год назад

      Basch was my favorite too. I believe the original plan for XII was to have Basch as the main protagonist, but the corporate overlords forced them to make Vaan the main character because they thought younger folks would have a better time relating to him. Funny how things usually turn out when creative decisions are made by the folks in charge of profit instead of the passionately creative developers with brilliant artistic and story telling visions.

      I'm always in favor of letting the creative and artistic team of developers make the creative decisions and the corporate profit pushers should butt out and let the developers make all of the decisions. Allowing the content to be a product of the original creative vision will always result in a better final product.

      It's like they are competing against their other self, while the 3D Final Fantasy games are being remake, the Enix part of the company are remaking Dragon Quest IV-VI for DS. I'm happy to say that in the end the Enix part wins and the Square part failed. Not only did we got DQIV-VI remade but we also got the spectacular DQIX as well while Final Fantasy III & IV only got made while V & VI got cancelled, the Four Heroes of Light was also not that good.

    I really wish the FFV remake had happened. But from hearing the abbreviated development history? It sounds like the idea basically inspired the development of Bravely Default.
    FF5R became 4 Heroes of light, which in turn spawned Bravely Default, one of my favorite turn-based RPGs.
    Either way, it's clear the Job System was at the front of their design and I'm so glad it's being used in games again.

    Okay, so with the recent outing that Yoshi-P saying about JRPG being discriminatory, what's anyone's second take with Fortress? If Fortress did really get out there and became a success of being a western company working with Square at the time would it still be in the same microscope if it had been mentioned in the interview? What would be your discourse on this subject? I loved the idea of Fortress and the concept of it. It would have made for a good game, but with the recent light shining up on this.

    • @drumjod
      @drumjod Год назад +1

      I think I get what you're saying in that the team working on Fortress were aiming for less of the typical 'JRPG art' style / storytelling and that was the reason Square Enix made them start over and then scrap it. It looks like Fortress was in development before FF13 came out and got all that backlash where 'JRPG' was perceived as an insult and mockery of what Japanese developers were creating. So maybe if the timing was after the 'JRPG' term was an issue, Square would have been more willing to give the style approached by the Fortress team a solid chance.

    -Killed off XIV the 1st time by being the more popular game
    -Went head-to-head with WoW in an era before streaming was popular.
    -Took WoW streamers & XIV for XIV to finally overtake XI as the most profitable title in the series a decade after XIV was released.

The weird part is that when Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy IV: The After Years to PC, they didn't just lazily port the Wii or PSP versions, they completely had Matrix Software remake that entire sequel in the 3D style of FFIII & IV remakes so not sure why they did that. Of course if they would allow that why they choose not to do the same for FFV & FFVI is just a miss opportunity.

The game was mostly complete (or at least well over 50%) before huge portions of it had to be scrapped and reworked into Seiken Densetsu 2.
    It sounds like some of the scrapped elements from the CD Rom version of the game may have later been used in Seiken Densetsu 3 (Trials of Mana) and the time travelling element was later incorporated into Chrono Trigger. ruclips.net/video/VY92aPBM0ss/видео.html
