I wouldn't be surprise if this was true. Sometimes I wish SE would stop with all the story expansions/sequels and just focus on the projects that need to be finish.

Bimkoblerutso4983d ago (Edited 4983d ago )

Yeah, seriously. The company has become so massive that they've apparently lost all control.

Plus, I don't know about this. Personally FFXII was one of my favorite FF's, but given Square-Enix's track record for sequels, this could be very, very bad.

AND Matsuno (and I think a lot of the Tactics team responsible for XII, actually) is no longer working for the company. This is just an all around terrible idea.

DOMination-4984d ago

This was interestingly a rumour several years ago:

http://www.psxextreme.com/p...

Even back then it was believed to be cancelled. I honestly can't see why they would go back to FF12 when they've had two or three other entries in the main series since then. Like others have said, it's hardly a world that many will care about returning to.

LightofDarkness4984d ago (Edited 4984d ago )

Well, it's been returned to a few times, and people seem to like it. It's the setting of Tactics, Vagrant Story and XII/Revenant Wings, and I think plenty of people enjoy It and would enjoy another trip there.

StraightPath4984d ago

What the f*** is wrong with squareenix...the final fantasy franchise is in ruins if this is true. how sad final fantasy use to be one of the most amazing franchises ever and played a huge part in my childhood. FF12 is crap why make is sequel for that.

torchic4984d ago (Edited 4984d ago )

these types of misinformed posts are soooo booooring now :(

Megaton4983d ago

While I agree the franchise is in ruins for a myriad of reasons, I disagree that FF12 is crap. I enjoyed it. The last good one, IMO.

NovusTerminus4984d ago

OR, they could focus on vXIII!

jc485734984d ago

SE is kinda all over the place. They're lost.

NBT914984d ago

Yep. Too much talk and no action, I think they have lost their minds due to so much fan pressure lol.

I mean they got Versus 13 which people are crying for even just any information on, as well as the Kingdom Hearts series and the little matter of "that" FF7 remake... And no information on any of them being revealed... Would hate to be in their shoes right now, I wander what their shareholders must be thinking?

DA_SHREDDER4984d ago

I would prefer anything besides a sequel to FF12. How bout a sequel to 6 or 7? Or even better, scratch off the turd we all considered FFX-2 (the mistake that started it all if you ask me), and make a true sequel to FFX.

Godmars2904984d ago

Part of me wants them to do an airship component if they're going to do it.

Another wants a baseball bat for things society might consider questionable, but I consider wholly justified.

user54670074984d ago

So let me get this straight

First they do a sequel to the worst FF game in the franchise...FF13.

Then they want a FF12 sequel which wasn't a bad FF game, it was just wasn't interesting especialy Vaan

Jesus christ Square if your going to do a sequel, do one for FF8 or FF9

Leats in FF8 they could make the "Rinoa is Ultimecia" rumor true and continue from that...maybe another war between Esther and the galbadia army

Godmars2904984d ago

To be fair - okay, reasonable - FF13-2 was in the works right on FF13's heels.

But if they do this and get it out before vsXIII...?

Oh FFS.

Regardless, at the very least they - might - have an idea where FF12 went wrong and will try to present an adventure story instead of a political drama with action in it.

(Why do I even bother coming into square related topics anymore...)

Basically, their presentation says: Go Woke, Go broke.
Sorry fellow N4gamers.

Alos8836d ago

Or, alternatively, don't cut Switch and Steam out of your biggest releases day one.

360ICE36d ago

If your response to a 112 page presentation from a profit-maximizing investment fund about the need for corporate restructuring (i.e. layoffs), integrating non-gaming (i.e. sell merch or build a theme park) and other corporate initiatives, is that it's about "go woke, go broke", then it's because you've lost the ability to think in any terms. Awful way to live your life. Private equity is destroying the games industry while you obsess that Square made a cringe game everyone thinks is cringe in 2023. Time to move on.

gold_drake37d ago

i mean .. we've been saying this for years.

franwex37d ago

Oh darn. Maybe games with NFTs can fixed that!

Soy37d ago

Waaah waaah our profits aren't big enough! I mean, they're still growing and all, but we want it faster and NOW! Waaaah!
