FFXIV STILL being credited for SE's Financial Success!!!!

Yes, which FFXI has already technically surpassed, which means they should have been worked on a FFVII remake.

He meant a Final Fantasy that is the next revolutionary step for the series like FFVII did, not how much money they made off of it. FFXI was a good game, but it wasn't revolutionary at all, neither is FFXIV.

The one problem I have with Wada's argument is that FFVII is a game that was simply there at the right place at the right time. It brought a fresh theme and setting for the FF series that players have never done before, and did it in 3D graphics that at the time were gorgeous looking. FFVII itself pushed the popularity of RPG's worldwide that was once a more niche audience. This is something that would be extremely hard to replicate again no matter how good future Final Fantasy's are. So in a sense it feels like to me a full scale remake wouldn't happen.

Know what I say? Good. Would I love a remake of FFVII for PS4? Of course, I loved the game. However, I don't think it is practical at all. You would have to get a major development team to start almost everything from scratch and would take a few years of production when we should instead have those same people focusing on more important things like future Final Fantasy games. As much as I would like a blast from the past, I rather have a new game and story that wow'ed me like FFVII did. I don't want to see the future get put on hold just to satisfy people's nostalgia.

However, I certainly wouldn't mind if they did a small scale remake on 3DS/Vita. Just take the already made game, update the character sprites so they don't look like blocks, clean up the game a tad, and update the UI. Its a win-win product and would make a ton of money off of it.

Too bad they already ruined Zach's story with FFVII: Crisis Core : ( That could have been an amazing PS4 RPG that lived in the world of FFVII.

Well who knows, they could always continue off of that loose thread they left after DoC. There could be yet another story to tell in that world.

The game is still young, only time will tell! But glad to see ARR bringing SE out of their previous predictament. Hopefully they would put in their heart and soul into developing this game

I'm pretty sure it will happen . I'm positive on that one.

So, I read the article though I pretty much despise IGN for various reasons.

But from what I get, it was no new news concerning FFXIV numbers, they seem to be the old from November right?

Square-Enix's version of pouring their heart and soul into ARR is done by copying every idea possible from other MMOs and generating the most mind numbing experience possible.

Huzzah! Hurray! YIPEEEEEE!

Because despite the fact that they've pretty much trapped themselves in a corner with their current game design for the long run, they have clearly improved from where they were before. To be honest though, it doesn't take much to make a better game then Final Fantasy XIII, and while this game is a marked improvement, the story is still lackluster. At least this game has standards though, lol.

And yes, I'm pretty critical of games in the MMO genre. A decade of homogenization demands that MMO players be more critical if we hope to see anything change.

Interesting.

*Every crafting class at 50...
*Almost every mount and minion....

So, uh, well....you sure have funny way of spending your free time imo. I don't usually follow up the mind numbing experience of work with more mind numbing experience...unless you're talking about playing video games in an altered state, I'm totally okay with that.
