Honestly I'd rather see them go to an overworld map again. Perhaps one that isn't as warped in scale, something between regular scale and oldschool worldmap scale, and more side quests definitely, but not 100% fetchquest design like FFXV.

Well as an up and coming director you don't get to pick and choose your projects. Suzuki obviously did extremely well with Dissidia and Dissidia 012. All The Bravest was just a shit project he was forced to take. Considering Nomura has already said Dissidia devs are going to be working at Division 1 for FFVIIR, I'd assume Suzuki will be working with them, not the 'All The Bravest' team.
I'm in the camp of thinking a PS4-Pro level console would actually have sold more. Current Nintendo fans buy everything. Cards, Amibos, collectibles, and wasted $350 at launch last gen for an extremely underpowered system. Consider that. $350, and some. Why not just release a $399 system that blows everything out of the water? They'd have Pixar level graphics as seen by Ratchet and Clank, which is near the apex of what Nintendo art style calls for. Their games would certainly h...
@Sevir that's what I'm thinking. They're going to go the 1800p60 route to increase graphics as well. There will be more 'punch' that way, especially for Halo/Gears. This is great for Xbox players who play that, but I don't play Halo and Gears anymore. I'm seeing a similar situation with parity. Since games will aim for 1800p on PS4-Pro Scorpio will mostly look the same with a slight, negligible res bump, but not 4K. So I'm pretty content with my PS4-Pro. ...
Haven't played 6 yet, but Nomura has already stated he's thinking of doing a SNES gen remake next, so hopefully it's FFVI.
I'd rather a separate HD Remaster. It kind of intrudes on FFVII's story, especially for first timers. That's a good way to spoil the plot twist.
Also Dissidia PSP, which is beast as far as ARPG systems go. Might not be as bad as you think.
@Disagrees, have any of you played Dissidia on PSP yet? Amazing combat. I don't see how this could take away from the systems they already have in place.
Nomura is legend but he's also legendary for being slow as hell with releases. If you've noticed they've had to pull all the stops on making him game director. Roberto Ferrari is also doing character design because they know Nomura will spend 5 years deciding what belt color Cloud's attire needs. Now they're adding a co-director because Nomura can't be trusted to direct alone.
I see this as a good thing. Dissidia PSP has the best ARPG combat syst...
I beat the game in 13 hours and was not rushing for a completion time. I simply wasn't interested in any of the sidequests. The game already has fetchquest mentality enough, even for main cutscenes. Like a cutscene will start, and it's like the conversation is already over. Then you fetchquest. Even main quests are like this.
So I skipped the sidequests because they bored the crap out of me. Seriously, endless running, driving, and banter simulation I couldn&#...
The real question is why do gamers always have to play as a white character? Why do you care so much about only playing as a white character, everytime? In an industry where 99.9% of characters are whites, why are you acting victimized for actually bringing up the possibility of another race in a character? The problem is people like you, and all statistics POINT to that fact. 99% of characters are already white. Quit acting victimized.
Why are blacks always caricature...
I want the next FF to be like a mix of FFIX and the art style that Sakaguchi's new Mistwalker game has:

A definite throwback to the old days... Turn-based or KH-esque system is fine with me, as long as it has magic menus and a good pace to battles.
It's probably got a 720p screen so plays in 720p on the go. Dock unthrottles the chip for 1080p mode on the big screen.
@Nitro
She's allowed 2.8 for Digital distribution... Hopefully she changes her stance for other releases as well.
I didn't really need to know this in advance. They already gave away too much in the trailers for the original game. Leave us some surprises!
Open world dumbed down it significantly. We lost informative cutscenes because fetchquest progression took hold, and even influenced main quests. Basically a cutscene starts and it's like the conversation is already over- then you fetchquest. Driving between quests can take up to 10 minutes or more. This is forward thinking? Focus on open world with Tabata rid us of the KH system that kept magic menus, an FF staple that increases strategy.
Back to open world, this ...
I'm very iffy on the Switch personally. A PS4-level system is where I want Nintendo games to be right now and they could have done it for nearly the same price with a stationary console. I've already considered and I'd be one of the many owners that wouldn't move it away from the dock often. I just fail to see how I'm going to bring this with me on errand commutes, appointments, work, etc. Road trips and planes are fine, but how often do you get on one? I'd rather...
@ Gasian thanks! I just got my PS4-Pro so I'm still new to navigating some of the stuff.
Is it really? Do you have a source on this because I'm trying to go all digital,
MS would be smart to try and get exclusivity rights to the next Mistwalker console game, if that's what you're saying. It'd give me a reason to pick up Scorpio.
@Rai
Hmm, all you can do is hope then, I guess. Nomura said the Dissidia team is still on the project though so hopefully their some Dissidia DNA shows up in the FFVIIR. It is peculiar that they'd put a newbie director on such a large scale project though. My guess is Tabata will also be moved to FFVIIR soon since XV is mostly complete.
