Wada on FFXIV and DQX

[naaros]

While I realize FFXIII had some problems (mainly lack of variety and linear level design), I really did enjoy it quite a bit. It's still one of my favorite games this gen. :3 It doesn't even begin to compete with my favorite though - FFIX.

Looks like XIII-2 is addressing all my complaints against XIII, so I'm very excited about that game.

You know what I'm glad FF XIV failed at launch. I think it's the kick up the arse Square Enix needed. This doesn't just affect XIV they will work harder on all FF games now.

On topic:

Wow this article is too funny. It's sad when the only way to save face is to outright bash the quality of the game at release and indirectly bash the person who was in charge of it all at the beginning. No more sugar coating things it seems. The clip of the Ifrit battle did look a little cheesy, but it also looked like a vast improvement from 1) attack marmot 2) marmot runs away 3) marmot glitches and you are unable to attack 4) marmot starts attacking you from glitched position til you are either dead or almost dead. :P

Luckily Versus XIII will be the best. game. ever. period.

I don't really understand why people are hyping up Versus to be like the second coming of Christ. It's only going to lead to disappointment when you find out the game isn't perfect and made of gold. :|

Note: I am interested in the game and I think the game will be great, but I haven't seen enough to say it'll be amazing. And I'm not just talking about people on these forums, but it seems like every forum I visit, it's the same thing - people saying Versus will be the "best game ever" and "best Final Fantasy ever" - I just don't know how they came to that conclusion based on the trailers/info I've seen. XD

I'm actually far more interested in XIII-2 than I am for Versus right now, but that's likely due to having so much information and great trailers being released for the game (and none for Versus).

I always thought XIII-2 and XIII Versus were the same thing, though I'd never bothered to look up information about it till just a minute ago. Interesting, making a new FF game based in the same universe but having nothing to do with XIII at all.

Since XIII Versus is only listed for PS3 though guess I'll be giving it a miss unless I decide to fork out money on a PS3 at some point. Bleh. Versus sounds a little much like Mass Effect with swords though, it won't feel too much like an FF game if they go by what I'm reading right now.

I want the old FF battle system back and a world map

FFX-2 , FF12, and FF13 ALL POOP! I atleast finished X-2 ..12 and 13 no thank you! All Crap! They need to get their magic back.

I don't Know about "Best FF GAME EVER!" but from what I seen it looks ALOT better than 13.. Don't add another crappy sequal game based off a crappy game that will only end up going back to the game store within two days.

eh?

FFXII was fantastic... The only thing it needed was a decent job system and that was solved with the Intl Zodiac release.

Nomura fare? I like his stuff for KH, Parasite Eve, and TWEWY, but it's all played out for the FF series.

It's time they put Akihiko Yoshida on point and brought the FF franchise back to it's roots. (eg. FFIV, FFVI)

People seem to forget that Versus XIII is a spin off it doesn't play like a true FF game. Square also recently said it is a ""FF game like you have never seen." People expecting this to be a return to what FF used to be like may be disappointed. I also don't see why everyone is so crazy about a game they know nothing about.
