I'd rather they put resources in newer games, to be honest. I'm glad to hear and have been corrected about SE owning the NIER Ip... I just hope they actually do something with it.
And while, FFX-HD is an old game being remastered, it was already announced, as opposed to FF7 remake. They cant really move forward without finishing things that are announced, plus I really do want an FFX-HD anyways.
I honestly dont even care about a 7 remake at this p...
Thanks for the correction, I was unaware.
Still I dont know how much I'd want a Nier2 without the Cavia dev team.
If they do though, hopefully they get Yoko Taro to help out.

Nier wasnt made by SE(only published), and the creating company has been disbanded(Cavia). So dont expect that.
I've been wondering a while what happened to FFX-HD, seems it might have been swept under the rug.
Which is disappointing, I've been trying to hold out until the HD version to replay it again, and I really want to replay it again.
I know if I decided to replay the PS2 version, HD would be released right after I finis...
To be fair, it really wasnt answered in the DLC or novels.
That big 'To be continued' at the end(insulting) never gets closure.
Also, considering how many people dont buy DLC, and dont have access to the novels(pretty much anyone outside Japan) it would be silly to leave 13-2 on a cliffhanger for the majority of the players.
I do think it should be made, but I dont think they should put it in priority before these other titles...
Some glaring issues with this list.
-Nier wasnt made by SE, just published. It was made by Cavia; which no longer exists. (Granted I loved the game, but this will never happen)
-Typo on #4 title says FFVIII, when he means FFVII
(Was excited that someone recognized VIII, then quickly disappointed)
-No FFXV
(Lol what?)
-No FFX-HD
(What happened to this?)
IMO - VI is the overrated one.
Because of Hipsters, see below:
'I liked final fantasy(FF6) BEFORE it was cool(FF7)'
>I played 4+5+6 before 7
>6 is in my low tier of favorites
On topic, 7 deserves it's praise, but it is overrated in the sense that it distracts players from trying something new/different.
Heres my tiered rankings for those curious:
Best Tier:

If Paradigm Shifting changed everyones outfits, I probably would have enjoyed it more.
Or even if it simply changed their attack stance/footing, or really changed... anything.
Paradigm Shifting pretty much just gave you access to different skills. It didnt have the same feel that you were actually changing anything.
Dress spheres were more reminiscent of classic jobs, while Paradigm Shifting felt like a bo...
I think perhaps we should have a 'metacritic' that reviews the 'journalists'.
Then we could get a sense of whether people like the reviewer/ their credibility. People would then be able to follow journalists instead of the main websites.
It would be easier to see people being hypocritical(as opposed to the current collect sites), and it would be easier to determine inconsistencies and bias.
Basically people should follow...
I play games before I judge them. (As everyone should!)
What I listed was why I disliked the game/battle system(hate is too strong a word)
While yes people were disliking it before the game was released, what I stated certainly didn't help it's cause.
I cant be the only one who tried to min/max gambits for efficiency, having a gambit ready for every possible scenario. Along with switching them around to personalize for each boss-fight. It...
Heh, it seems fans have so many different varying opinions. Therein lies SE's problem, they can't please everybody.
@forevercloud3000
Actually you can, that's exactly how I played. I spent hours upon hours setting up gambits to perfect them.
The only time you cant(or not well) is at the beginning, when you still havent unlocked good gambits and enough gambit slots.
Theres a ton of videos on youtube of gambit-only play-throughs.
I agree with everything else you said.
edit2: I thought it was humorous that you s...
@Outside_the_box
I agree with your sentiments, it was a step in the right direction, but it was extremely boring to me.
It wasnt the real-time fighting, or the non-turn-based fighting that was the problem. It was the slow-mo/boring animations, plus gambits making the player unnecessary. Battles weren't exciting.
Btw, I didnt disagree with either of you.
It was criticized because if you set the gambits up properly you never even needed to play the game. Just watch everyone auto-play.
Don't give me the "you didn't need to play that way" spiel, it was the most efficient way of playing, and any gamer who is a min-maxer(most RPG players) aims for efficiency. The second most efficient way was spamming boring Quickenings endlessly to 1-shot bosses. The game-play is the -main- reason I do not like 12. I like the ...
Wow, I feel the exact same on all these games as yourself. (But I started before PS1, and played 13-2)
The only thing is pointing out the Whistle+Laughing scenes in X. Contextually they were supposed to seem forced, or that's how I interpreted it. If you see it like that the scenes make more sense, and don't seem nearly as bad.
for comparison(I'll be brief on Pre PS1):
1: Great for it's time, though very bland.

I have to agree with DragonKnight here. MacDonagh, they even stated they were trying to westernize the game, and taking inspiration from COD and such.
Regardless of whether or not it's audience is a niche, the fact that it is so large means they were doing something right to begin with. And changing the ONE thing(Japanification, the 'J' in JRPG) that's holding the niches interest is a sure way to LOSE sales, not gain them.
It sure does see...

Theres one fallacy of that argument. Being that those products have a shelf-life. They die and/or become obsolete; people will have to buy replacements.
So Ford wont see a penny from that used car sale, but guess what; eventually that car will die and need to be replaced by a new one(either from the seller who needs a replacement, or the buyer after the used car dies). Same for the computer, it will become obsolete and a new one will replace it.

I would disagree, there is plenty of demand out there, the problem is the demand it there for -quality- JRPGS, which this gen has severely lacked.
The best RPGs this gen have been on the Wii (Xenoblade?) Which is a little disappointing in itself that the bigger 2 giants are too busy funding smashy smashy games instead of story driven ones.
I'm not a fan of WRPG gameplay(battle system, sandbox driven), and often their stories are also lackluster due to...
The difference is the 'Playstation sites' don't review down 360 games, or review them at all. Where as clearly biased reviewers are marking points off just so the fanboys, like yourself, can claim your game is better because of a 0.1 point difference.
Q_Q less, play games.
