Turn based combat.

I honestly don't care what they do. XV was a mess and KH3, while it was better than XV, still suffered from a lot of glaring problems. Square Enix doesn't have the talent to make AAA games and their management is fucked beyond belief.

Final Fantasy. I mean just final fantasy, you know the game with White and Black mages. I don't know, I'm fine with some technology, but it's basically been turned into some weirdass pop thing with ramen and bag advertisements.
Octopath made me happy about turn based combat not being ignored, but I just hope that for the next entry they at least try to innovate to make things better, not to simply change the formula.

>kh is a goty contender
LOL. FFXV might have sucked but KH3 already got BTFO by REmake 2, Sekiro, DMCV and probably a few i've forgotten as well.

Nothing. After X-2, XII, XIII, and XV, I don't care what's in the game, I'm not buying it for more than 20 bucks, and will only do that if reviews are saying shit like, "Game of the Generation." The fact that there hasn't been an even remotely good FF in like 18 years really says a lot about the franchise.

Yikes

Well-balanced ATB combat with full control over the entire party
The Main Job/Support Job system from XI
A good main villain, and a central plot that involves all the main party members in some way
A world map in the vein of something like DQVIII or XI that is worth exploring
Good sidequests and optional activities. Hunts are fine but there needs to be more than just that
A multiplayer mode that lets you make your own character and explore the world and do sidequests and dungeons with others (or play offline and explore freely with a party of custom created characters)

I don't any of this is unrealistic. If the game was built from the ground up with these goals in mind it seems perfectly doable.

Neither of those fix its awful combat that's even farther from FF than II.

It was the best of the PSX era but still shit compared to 4 or 6

Reminder that Yoshida is the guy who insisted on bringing back the Final Fantasy to FFXIV, who gave us classic FF jobs in the era of leather-wearing boy bands, who always tried doing new cool shit with his game even when said game relies on the broken piece of shit engine that was handed to him, and who got Soken to do the soundtrack for his game and allowed him complete creative freedom instead of breathing down his neck because he's not a completely out of touch exec
He gets a lot of (mostly undeserved) flack for some of FF14's shortcomings, but honestly he's the only guy left at SE I'd trust to make an actually good mainline FF

less machines and more fantasy

Attached: yoshiblood.png (843x1024, 2.28M)

I'd be pretty hopeful knowing yoshi p was directing it. I feel like he'd make a nice classic FF style game. He doesn't seem so over the top or crazy with his games art direction, which i feel is one of the biggest downfalls of recent FF games. The worlds are too complex and high fantasy. Something like FF9 or 6 with modern graphics would be amazing.

you mean diablo 4

Think they'll ever make 1.23 playable again, even as a 1-2 month "Try it while it's hot" experiment?

What if the cast were all machines, but could use magic and there were mechanical dragons and asshole octopus and such?

yeah and that time was 2002, what's your point?

14 literally has mechs and motorcycles and trains and shit

Crossover with KH, Final Kingdom: Fantasy Hearts. The whole game is about how bad XV and KH3 were.

I unsubbed and decided to play ESO.

They should do something crazy. Like a final fantasy rpg with tap timing ddr gameplay.

So did the older Final Fantasy games.

so does FF6
FF9 had trains, industrial towns and spaceships

no kh deserves to stay in the trash
and xv is pure kino

>kh
>crossover with final fantasy
It already is you fucking retard

A video game

yeah that's my point, 14 isn't any more tech focussed than even 15 is

And FF1 has time travel, talking robots, killer mechs, and a space station. The main character of FF4 is from a species born on the moon, and FF9 is largely about an invasion from an alien planet. Sci-fi elements have always been part of the series. When people say they want a "fantasy" FF game again, they're almost always talking about the aesthetics, not the actual tech level of the setting.

Thoughts on the FF16 based on the confirmed Leaks Yea Forums? This came from the same person who accurately stated that FFXV was being retooled into Versus 15, which is what Verum Rex was teasing

If something like versus XV does get made what would they do with the original lore? Would it go back to Fabula Nova Crystallis or retool the new XV lore?

Theres more but I think everything else is too specific to the things I like and other people wouldnt like them as much (i'm a huge fan of the weapon/ability system from IX, for example)

Nice to see they've found the next scapegoat for Nomura. Wonder how long this guy will stick with it before he quits like Tabata.

How about they stop funneling funds into their failed FF series and focus on Deus Ex and the other stuff they own?

>likes go up by exactly 2 everytime
>from the ban evading mobile poster
xv-kun you need to stop

I played XV on release. I mostly liked it, hated the last 3rd though.

Is it worth replaying with the royal pack dlc(as I understand that includes all the dlcs released so far?) How significantly has it changed since launch?

I want it to not be a huge bloated mess that gets stuck in development hell for a decade before Square cuts their losses and hurriedly pushes it out

And for the love of god bring back the whimsy. Enough with the modern day and sci-fi bullshit, bring back the fun, the FANTASY. I think that's one of the reasons people still stick to KH, because it's inherently a colorful and memorable franchise

i like both ffxv and kh3, what now faggots

A like a lot of that except not having a central protagonist.

That main character archetype is a big part of what made FF successful.

Decent but short sidestories for the 3 friends, but combat in the main game is still crap (though now you can switch between any of the characters but only in battle).

Final dungeon is a tad longer. And that's it. Not really worth it IMO.

Sci fi can work really well though, FF7 proved that.

I'd really be down to fight aliens and robots again, as well as traditional monsters.

Otherwise I'd just go play Dragon Quest.

Jesus, Day 1 FFXV is fucking terrible, if you liked that than Royal edition is basically the same thing but with actual features that should've been included day 1.

That's actually a lot of people. Only one guy screeches at KH and other series. He's also gone from sucking off Tabata to sucking off the new co-director of VIIR.

I want them to fucking finish the projects they start
I've had less and less hype for FF7 Remake everytime something gets said about it but holy fuck finish the damn game already
Remakes of PS2 era games like Shadow of the Colossus get finished in the meanwhile and turn out just fine
>but its a hugggeee game
No its fucking not, its decent size yes but the game is 20 years old, back then it was still a grand experience and it can be now at the same scale with visual and QOL improvement but no, they are Squareing it up again, i love many things this company does and has done but boy do they do some fucking stupid shit

cancellation♨️

Less of a focus on graphics and a return to turn based combat so they can start making final fantasy more frequently than one game a decade (that ends up sucking anyway)

>tons of dialogue and interaction and actually feel like friends
It didn't have that though. Every. Single. Time you get on a chocobo you get the same WOO CHOCOBOS line. I have no idea why they don't write like 500 random lines for the characters to say. Would it really be that expensive to have voiced? Every game is terrible about this btw.

I can't bring myself to dislike Quiet Man. Maybe because it's too experimental and I'd feel bad for being too harsh on it.🙁

What the fuck is wrong with SquareEnix? They've been in the shitter for how fucking long now? Only a handful of what they release is barely worth it.

The biggest problem with XII was Vaan.
The biggest problem with XIII was Lightning.
The greatest strength of XV was the power of friendship
I agree that a central character is usually important, but I'd just really like to see what they could do with say, 4-6 characters who where all equally important to the plot. Ideally each would get specifically focused on for segments of the story before coming together. I'd like to see a FF that drew inspiration from Arturian legend, something like the knights of the round table except Arthur is missing. Obviously not anything close to a direct adaptation but something like
>6 playable characters
>They are all in service to some kind of leader or monarch
>something or other takes the monarch out of the picture
>the PC's are all out in various corners of the world when this happens on varying missions, or perhaps all seeking the same thing in different places
>each has their own 8+hr story
>can play these in any order
>they have to hire sellswords/mercenaries of some sort to fill out their own parties, these characters have personalities and dialogue but are mostly side characters, think valkyria chronicles
>last 20hrs of game all 6 MC's come together to put together the pieces they all found and fight the big bad
>some form of substantial endgame content after where you can either use all 6 MC's or whatever mercs you want.

Is SaGa any good?

Not according to the series creator.

Then Arthur turns out to be the villain and when you beat him, a weird primordial god of evil appears as the sudden final boss.

I think most of my enjoyment came from hype and the fact that I spent $60 for it on release day. Objectively speaking i wouldve rated it 6.5/10-feels unfinished, combat didnt feel like a final fantasy game and was far too easy.

I also really liked XIII's combat system though so maybe I'm just a contrarion.

They have been pozzed by Chinese investors, look it up. The chinks said they wanted to buy them out and they have been working hard to halt the invasion by cooperating with them, in their favour so the don't buy out their stock.

What if the main character is a Sakura?

I like all of that but save the exploration and sidequests for the endgame. Put some of it in the main story but honestly I prefer some linearity (not hallways, just structure) in the stories of my JRPGs, I like to save the extra shit for after I've completed the story.

FFXIV doesn't play like an mmo tho
Neither does wow

So octopath traveler

This with a world map, minigames, quests, good combat and focus on exploration.

Maybe, never played it. I was more basing it on the structure of IX's opening but more drawn out.

>16/2
>8
graphicaly like FF8 but on HD
world traveling/space
junction
weapon crafting
materia system (like some attribute gems on weapons/armor or someshit)
ATB
card game, with region rules
bigger world
GF system was nice with custom commands

If Square Enix doesn't go back to their roots (strong stories, turn based attacks, interesting settings) then they might as well just put the themselves out of their misery now.
