Everyones playing FFXIII-2?

[ArnoMorley]

Yeah, I was looking at Last Story, the cover looks so much like something from a classic FF, unfortunately there's no word if there will be an NA release.

The thing about the "new fans" comment though, if they want to make changes that are too drastic to the series they should give it a new title.

A game franchise should make games for the group that has been loyal and supported it and not go for new fans. If they want new fans they should make a new game, even leave FF in the title like they did with tactics. And they're wrong in the idea that people want "Next-gen" gameplay, just look at the PS1 classics on psn, they've sold hundreds of thousands copies of the old FFs that people already owned, it's because THAT's what people want.

And as far as FF15 comment goes, modeling it after FF7 wouldn't be a bad idea, modeling it after kingdom hearts would ensure that I won't buy it. That was my biggest turn off about 13-2 Noel looks like a character out of kingdom hearts. The first one came out when I was about 10 and I even thought it was gay then, they should not use disney characters/elements in FF, it's like using the teletubbies there's just nothing right about it.

You haven't even tried the game and you're complaining about it. Loyal fans of the franchise are in their 30s and 40s and FF brand desperately needs to attract new customers.
XIII-2 is fantastic, most fun I've had since X. And no I wasn't a big fan of XIII.
Remaking FF7 would a be terrible mistake for them. After how good 13-2 is I actually hope that rumors of 13-3 are true.
Obviously you know nothing about gaming trends and the market out there because this whole thread you've been making unreasonable statements.

Quoting for truth!

FFXIII-2 is awesome! Way better than FFXIII and even to the best FF games ever made! It does make up for the lack of "RPGness" of FFXIII! ^^ I'd easily give it a 9/10. ^^

IMO SE should've renamed it to "FFXIII+2" because it does is a high quality game! =P

I'll acknowledge that it is better than XIII but, players will have to

pay for the real ending from the extra DLC episodes soon.

You'll find out once you reach both endings of the story.

I'll get The Last Story rather than FFXIII-2. Don't like FFXIII/XIII-2 univers or characters. The battle system is .... annoying.

From SE, i'm looking forward to Bravely Default, seems to have a much more Final fantasy touch than any of the last Final Fantasy with a number @@

When i first saw kingdom hearts just before i got it i was thinking what the heck is this game, this idea is crazy then i played the game and was like omg this game is amazing.
For me sora was great to follow his journey , i can understand how alot people became confused with the 2nd game but it one of my all time best games that i tried.
And its action based gameplay was fun even though i like the old turn based final fantasy games as well.

some people want the old gameplay , some want new , for me i want a balance of both.

I'm almost near the 'end' and i have to say that the game is very nice and way better (in all departments) than 13. Also i liked the story so far.

5.4/10 on gamereview.

The reviewer was expecting great things, perhaps he expected to much. This left the reviewer feeling disappointed and was left with an average game at best.

Who cares about what reviewers say. They're not the end all and be all in games. It should be people who make their own opinion and decisions for the game or would people rather let someone else do their own thinking for them?

I tried the demo (I thought I said that?), sure it was an improvement over 13 but still not sold on it.

And sure I'll admit I'm not a marketing expert but don't people in their 20s-40s have money? In fact correct me if I'm wrong but I thought 18-35 was the highest making target audience for a lot of things? There was (maybe still is) a huge retro craze in the gaming industry for a reason.

And Idk why a younger generation of gamers would necessarily reject an older style of play, Dragon quest 9 was the exact same turn based battle system it's predecessors were and it broke records in sales. Heck the pokemon games are the same as they used to be too and the kids are all over it. You don't have to fix something that isn't broken.

I agree that the ff7 remake would be a disaster though, it was hironobu's concept and he was the producer, they would want to change to much and without him they would ruin it. If they did it like the FF1/2/4 remakes in hd where it's the exact same but with crisp graphics (maybe a bonus dungeon, never got the use submarine outside the continents) that would be fine I guess, would be cheap to make too.
