The Big Final Fantasy Question

Kotaku: ''Is Final Fantasy dead? Should we stop getting excited about the series? Is it time to abandon all hope?''

No, it's not dead. We still have XIV and XV look forward to.

And if they increase the jiggle physics and breast size a little more and add in bikini DLC, I might buy Lightning Returns.

Once "jiggle" decides game sales, I will contemplate dropping out of this hobby.

I would rather a game sold by it's merits, and not several pairs of anti-gravity tits, throwing two sheets to the wind.

Hicken4689d ago

They're not even trying to sell it based on that. It's simply the answer to a question, and now it's become a huge deal.

For my part, I've enjoyed every FF I've played since VII, and I've played EVERY FF since VII. And I simply can't understand why some FF fans slam certain games: they all have their good points, they all have their flaws.

No. I find it funny that everyone was craving Versus but it turned into XV, everyone says Final Fantasy is dead. Well I've got news for ya FFVII fanboys. Turned based RPGs on consoles are the past. The tech was too slow to handle something like FFXV. Move on guys. FFXV will surpass VII. I'll tell ya that for nothing.

EdoubleD4689d ago

Exactly, the conclusions some of these so-called 'hardcore/traditional' fanboys really stagger me. So one of the mainline entries was bad, turns out every new entry will be 'crap'. It sucks that some people have this way of thinking. Both ARR and XV look promising, yet because they aren't turn-based they're not a 'True FF', whatever the fuck that means.

"So one of the mainline entries was bad"

Come on, FF2 wasn't terrible.

Yawn...another article about FF being dead.

It's not dead. How many FFs are coming out again? Yeah that's dead alright.

The Lightning saga was dead on arrival

FF as a whole is still very much alive. XV is coming and looks quite incredible, like a throwback to the golden age of FF.

Did you forget about Type-0? even though it wasn't localized, surely it must count for something. It's one of the better FF games according to anyone who knows Japanese.

But how do you tell when a franchise is "dead" anyway? Lack of sales? lack of spotlight? company goes under? What determines the so called "death" of a video game franchise. I think it'd be chalked up to word of mouth and pretty much everyone has nothing but praise for XV. That game's been hyped to hell since it was prematurely shown at E3 2006.

How could anything "dead" generate any sort of hype?

Damn! Gg to Square Enix and Hasbro 🫨.

Chevalier317d ago

I think if helped they the prices for all these products were extremely high at launch. Like no other cross over had prices these high. LotR for example weren't even close to FF MTG prices

TheColbertinator317d ago

Those cards had awesome designs. I can see why they hit the market hard.

enkiduxiv317d ago

And to think, no one wants to buy the games anymore…

Michiel1989317d ago
