Sakaguchi getting addicted to FF14 was such a blessing in disguise! Love that Sakaguchi told Yoshi P he wants ZERO FF14 spoilers. Enjoys being a player too much. lol
The Last Story NEEDS a remaster!!! It was so fucking good back on the Wii. It was ahead of its time
one of my fav games of all time!
you know what we also need a remaster of? those two Wii games that got pushed via the Operation Rainfall initiative alongside Xenoblade Chronicles. They are The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower.
Definitely agree right there!
Operation rainfall trio
This game being freed from apple is a blessing; it’s a great game that im happy to see other people play… it’s so good AND now voiceovers?? Hell yea
Literally! The only reason I didn’t finish the game was because my free trial ran out and I wasn’t paying Apple monthly for it lol
Hopefully Mistwalker brings Microsoft in with SquareEnix to hopefully release remastered versions of Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon to mult-platforms
Lost Odyssey really needs to get off of the Xbox 360 platform
Sounds good. If Goldeneye had been made possible, never say never!
I can't tell you how many times, when Square Enix would send me a survey to fill out, I would always write at the end in the comments portion of it "Please reach out to Hironobu Sakaguchi for input on FF game direction." I hope this is a sign of a new beginning for Square and Sakaguchi!
Sakaguchi’s input would be probably against everything Square Enix has built this past decade when it comes to FF tbh. When you play his games vs the games they put out after his departure it’s night and day.
Are they ready for that?
Let's hope they listen @@Suikojunkie
Strangely enough, according to Sakaguchi in the Pixel Remaster interview series, he was contacted by the guy in charge of the Pixel Remaster games for input. Sakaguchi said its fine, you don't have to contact him, but the lead of the project insisted he get involved to making sure he was making the right calls, and so he did, for better or worse.
@@Suikojunkiehave you also noticed that the Ff games after his departure were fails. Ff13, ff15.
@@JasonP-d4i Neither 15 nor 13 were financial failures, though. Both sold and reviewed pretty well lol.
With how SE was handling their arcard apple games, it slipped my mind that this title was actually a Mistalker game. With that in mind it is definitely intresting to consider how Yoshida managed to bring him back into the fray with SE and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Also makes me wonder if SaGa could be responsible for the re-evaluation of "old school" rpgs being given a second chance since I"d say that niche title that's been making the attempt to reach the same tier as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and/or Persona has been doing a decent job staying within the limelight. So it will be interesting if maybe Sakaguchi has plans to help shift SE focus back to what made them so popular to begin with.
Because this means there is a chance for lost odyssey to go multiplatform 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Would be awsome
No, Microsoft owns Lost Odyssey
What have Microsoft done with Lost Odyssey after the 1st game?@@fatmatt589
@@fatmatt589Doesn't mean something cant be worked out with Microsoft, doubt they care about the IP.
@@fatmatt589 Microsoft releases already Games on other systems, they even consider releasing Halo games on PS5
So excited for this. I loved the iOS version, despite not being able to play it on PC or console. It would be nice to see The Last Story get a remaster or port!!
The other big thing... this clears up the old controversy about sakaguchi hating ken kataragi or whoever at sony and refusing to release on their platforms anymore.
I am so hype for sakaguchi coming back to the final fantasy franchise
4:30 i recommend Legrand Legacy (PC) it is an underrated gem. gave me PS1 RPG era nostalgia.
unfortunately there is no game page for Fantasian right now.
Heard good things, its on all platforms now. Apparently devs are working on a sequel too...
Yoshi P is Hironobu successor all things considered.
Oh god no. Final Fantasy XVI is nothing like the games Sakaguchi is the father of
Facts. XIV is the pinnacle of the franchise so far.
No one is talking about 16 of which Yoshi P wasn’t even a director of you dolt.
@@geoffreychauvin1474 He's only the producer on 16, not the director. His job was mostly to promote the game and make sure things were proceeding well during the development.
If you don't like the direction the game took, you're looking at the wrong person for a culprit.
Don't forget about The Last Story for the Wii
That game needs to be forgotten lol that was bad.
Thats cap TLS is incredible
@You-ud2fp thanks for the response
in essence, this is why i supported ff16 against the haters. yoshi p with ff16 was able to bridge the gap back with the OG's. i truly hope the rumors are true with regarding creative business unit 3, yasumi matsuno, and ff tactics are true. if so just rename creative business unit 3 squaresoft.
Gives me hope we might get a Xenogears/blade collab someday then....please reach out to Tetsuya Takahashi Squeenix.
The Gooch is an absolute legend
This is such awesome news. Can't wait to check this game out!
So happy about this, playing on an apple device was just such a subpar experience that I held off hoping this day would come
If we can get one last mainline Final Fantasy from the father or the franchise himself, that would be truly something else. I know he's older now, and a full director role would probably be something he's uninterested in. But what if he co-directed it with someone from the CBU3 team? Maybe even YoshiP himself?
That'd be pretty nuts. Whatever the case, it's really lovely to see Sakaguchi back in the mix on FF, and I really appreciate YoshiP all the more for seeming to act as something of a bridge to get the man back over on the Final Fantasy ship.
Also, hopefully we'll see some further Mistwalker PC ports in the future. Lost Odyssey and Last Story freed from their platform prisons would be so amazing.
I was so hyped to see Fantasian make an appearance at the direct!! I bought Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, The Last Story, played Terra Battle, and have put Fantasian out of my mind entirely since it was in the prison of iOS and whatnot.
It made me so hyped that this is coming. Fantasian, AND a Phantom Brave sequel?!! YESSSS
never even knew about this game until recently, but the ps1 era of jrpgs have a special place in my heart, and i kinda wish there was an option to turn off the voice acting entirely in this release
I knew/was hoping they would eventually port this over. I knew they wouldn't let it stay on Apple Arcade! Excited to play it.
Blue Dragon,The Last Story, Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross/Chrono Trigger. Without Sakaguchi Square is useless.
Not really. They still have Nojima
@@christoferrage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@christoferrage Sakaguchi stepped down to by FF10, my statement stands.
@@Pope-of-Comics yeah and nojima wrote ff10 which is one of, if not the best final fantasy
@@Pope-of-Comics nojima also wrote ff7
i'm telling you, sakaguchi-sama is currently involved in a future final fantasy title. make no mistake.
wow, this is exactly what ive been missing from SE... yes, i love the AAA games and all FF titles but i miss the snes jrpg's and ps1 titles, turn based action and awesome storylines etc. yes yes yes from me, cant wait!
Considering i just bought a wii to play baten kaitos origins, i am definitely looking at this release with interest. Probably gonna grab it for the switch.
I had no idea that Fantasian was free on Apple TV all this time lol I downloaded immediately to give it ago and what played was very cool but very much feels like a mobile game. I hope they improve this with the PlayStation release.
I really appreciate that you memorize (or at least can pronounce) all these Japanese names. As an American, it's a real skill.
i've always felt that fantasian really lost out on not being on other platforms. I never played the game, but I really liked the soundtrack and often listened to it.
I'm really glad that I'll finally be able to play it on PC
I looooved the challenge of the original. And yes the perfectly framed backgrounds are missed!
Also I’m gonna keep saying it where I can… add sakaguchi as a prime consultant on the ff9 remake. Maybe if I keep saying it, it’ll be true. Oh man if he came onboard for a full final fantasy I’d poop my pants.
Hopefully we finish up strong with the last game for FFVII remake and then keep moving into a new golden era.
Lost Odyssey is still one of my favourite games of all time. So excited for Fantasian
Hopefully they'll port Ash, The Last Story and Tetra Battle someday too.
I had to stop playing part two because I had no idea where to go! While we’re talking comebacks, can we get a BRADYGAMES strategy guide!? 😅
I've been wanting to play this game for years. Sakaguchi has had some solid output since leaving Square-Enix. I still have Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. I got a Series X in case my 360 dies.
Now, if Nintendo could just release a remaster for The Last Story, life would be perfect!
holy hell this looks good. the bg especially.
Sakaguchi left Squaresoft before they merged with Enix. In fact his owning significant stock in Square and cashing that out when he left was a big factor to motivate the merger. He has a post-Squaresoft period, not post-Square Enix.
I would fucking LOVE Blue Dragon to be ported to PS.
Since we are in this new age of games being ported everywhere, this seems possible, it would be freaking awesome!
i 2nd your hatred of pre-fixed cameras and pre-drawn background art being being all but abandoned in gaming
I don’t feel like I play enough video games to be part of these discussions because the only one I’ve played or looked into out of those that you mentioned at the beginning is lost Odyssey . Not much of a variety gamer. i’m very much set in my ways and aware that video games are very effective ways of wasting time.
Its difficult for creative types to ever truly retire but it would be a smart marketing tactic to say that this is his last game and then take a break and come back in several years and use the 'my last rodeo' marketing tactic again.
I played a little bit of it, it seems like a great game. I have 2 kids now so not a lot of time to play it.
If Sakaguchi has returned please let him work on Final Fantasy IX Remake!!
Isn't this the exact same as mobile version but now it's re-release as a full version?
The last story sequel please Papa Sakaguchi
I hope both blue dragon & lost odyssey are remastered and ported to modern xbox
I mean, Hayao Miyazaki "retired" too then Boy and the Heron happened.
oh yeah oh yeah (me doing the victory dance) 🥳
With Mistwalker and SQUARE working together, I wonder if we could get a console port of Terra Battle, or even a new game in the series. I still miss Terra Battle 1 & 2.
I don't know if publishing is the same thing as working together.
I thought it was Mistwalker who were making the game when I was watching Nintendo Direct this week.
If Mistwalker has now joined Square Enix, lets hope they are kept away from that "Ethics" Department.
Square enix is just a publisher
Fixed camera angles framing things perfectly is a huge win for per-rendered backgrounds. I don't really care about getting to look around at some random foliage.
P.s. I would still love to see a Parasite Eve Remake or remaster (prefer a remake) in my lifetime.
Other than that, one of the only remakes of games from my teen years that hasnt came to fruition is a remake of the original Phantasy Star. Japan got some type of modern remaster a while ago (was that PS3??) and of course America did not.
When this game cameout, I went out to get an ipad, then a mac mini, and then a macbookpro just for the game.
I'm using them for work (and it's great for some work) but I know in a few years I'll be back on Windows/Linux. Apple's ecosystem is suffocating.
This would mean I can stop paying Apple arcade just to keep access to one game.
This video is just the BEST news
Day 1. Ironically I haven't played a Sakaguchi game since Square Soft days.
Come on! Lets get all mistwalker games on modern platforms yeah?
Oohhh I'm definately playing this one. Going Hard Difficulty too.
if Mystwalker and SquareEnix worked together, I'd want them to remake Final Fantasy VI. I don't trust anyone else to remake the game.
Nobody:
Game Developers: Fixed camera angles are no longer acceptable in modern games.
😐
wouldn't it be something this meant Sakaguchi came back to help with the FInal Fantasy IX remake
now is the time for microsoft to make lost odyssey and blue dragon to release in other platform it will a win for sure..
Would FF10 - 3 be possible Sakaguchi?
Lost odyssey was awesome. One of my favorites.
lets goo more games to play
Fantasias shows us what SHOULD have happened with an FFVII remake by way of traversal and gameplay… and don’t get me started on the story. I will never forgive Nomura and Nojima.
Same
Wait... is SE making a FF9 remake? And before FF8!?
I subscribed so I can say I've subscribed before you hit the 100K mark lol!!
I played Fantasian and it is a travesty that is only on Apple Arcade. This game deserves far more recognition. It has amazing art. This is great news.
hear me out: FFX/X-2 remake (FF7R style), but Sakaguchi directing, imagine his take on that game
How good is the story in this game? I'm a little turned off by how cute and animelike characters look.
Maybe sakaguchi take FF 9 remake project ?
Im still trying to fina a way to play lost odyssey after i first played years ago.... 😢
Awesome! Thank you.
imagine FF17 with the OG.
Is this a switch exclusive or is it coming to PlayStation
All modern consoles ; PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 1:15
Why can't they arrive to the conclusion that it is time to make Valkyrie Profile Hrist?😢
Those digital game comments from sackaguchi worry me a little. I actually do not purchase/financially support digital only games so I might skip it if they do not release it physically.
Sakaguchi is the big dog and I'm not really interested in the specifics and company politics, the truth is that sakaguchi is the magic Stardust of final fantasy. The fact he hasn't been involved for the last 20 years is a tragedy for us all
FANTASIAN sooo good
Those that have played it say it's the FFType-0 of this generation. A game that many wanted to play because it was out of reach for so long. But once they played it, they realized it quite mediocre.
The last story is locked on the wii. I would rather have that game.
Now let Sakaguchi fix the mess Nomura made with FFVIIR
FF7R is easily the best thing they have done since X. Hell I personally would say the best since FF7 OG.
FF7R is among the best work Square has ever created.
@@DinosbergIt's a great remake but it's not better than IX or X
@@pixelvapour1960 Maybe for you it's not but for me absolutely.
Finally Kingdom hearts without Disney???
You can't even own it in ios, you can only rent it.. Good thing it's going out for more platforms than just rotting there under greedy ios
4:05 Look at those ugly, obvious light lines during the background transition as you're praising the visuals.
Why y’all are hyped for this game? Outside of its presentation the gameplay is painfully bland and the story doesn’t have that ff charm and originality.
seriously.. digital. So the demise of physical continues
With Sakaguchi not in the company and as far removed as they are since he was there, I think it's best he just collab and not have anything more to do with them. The moment they try to "advice" on his game from the ethics department, I can't see that going well.
Imagine Sakaguchi coming back to direct Final Fantasy 17 as its final game for retirment, damn what an arc!
We need remasters for Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and The Last Story too.
I'd love a Steam release for Blue Dragon.
Those RPG need to be on steam.
As a 30-something year old "boomer" myself, I wholeheartedly agree with you on the prerendered backgrounds. Contrary to what most modern game devs apparently think,
I do believe there is still a place for this kind of design. There's a certain charm, a certain atmosphere that you can get from prerendered backgrounds with fixed camera angles that you just can't quite nail with full-on 3-D graphics that let you rotate the camera 360. Sometimes, less really is more!
watch square enix try to charge $59.99 for a $4.99 mobile game now, thats free for 95% of players with apple arcade.
I played it on Apple Arcade and will gladly pay full game price to play it again.
I'll pay it if it goes to Sakaguchi 👍🏼
Great news. It's a phenomenal game. It absolutely is a "missing" golden era Final Fantasy. And the SOUNDTRACK! All Uematsu baby!
You can't imagine how happy I am knowing that Fantasian is finally coming to other platforms!🤩🙌🏽 Thanks for giving us the features the new version will contain, NSP! I am also super glad that Sakaguchi found a new passion project to work on!💕
Instead of square enix wasting their time pouring in millions of dollars for some original AAA project that no one may never play (IE Babylon's Fall, The Quiet Man), just focus resources and money into remakes/remasters rather that be 2DHD or 3d remake's. This is what we want and I think square has finally figured that out with recent series like mana, star ocean, the saga series, Dragon quest and games like this fantasian. This is the christmas that keeps on coming.
man i would love to hear sakaguchi working on ff9 remake. it would truly be a full circle moment. him being involved in some way with ff 17 would also be great news
This! I think if he comes back to squenix, itll be to make ff9 what it was meant to be
I think sakaguchi and uematsu and the OGs are winding down on their careers. I know people want it, but they're really old guys now, and they deserve to retire gracefully.
Sakaguchi being a fan of FF14 is an understatement, The Legend got into all aspects of the game and in a game where crafting attaches the name of the crafter to the item...let that sink in.
Wow Fantasian looks incredible I didn't know they used diararama's for the background graphics that's insane awesome, oh I need to own it on my consoles! (PS4/switch/ps5) If I love a game enough I buy it for all my consoles, and im completely in love with this game, I really miss turn based FF games, the new FF games are good n all, but my Retro soul aches for traditional combat, job classes and dungeon hunting for loot, just outta curiosity have you heard of Expedition 33? My goodness, THAT looks incredible, would love to know your thoughts on that game, thankyou heaps for your video, have a spectacular day
