>"What I want to do is to examine the humanity of the characters in this game. This is not going to be a fantasy world in the traditional Final Fantasy sense. Rather it's based in the world today with all of this world's ugly issues. There's this mainstream tradition of Final Fantasy games and, in Versus I'm trying to propose new vision of how a Final Fantasy game can be. The game's going to be more human than the science-fiction caricature we so often see. It will focus around current world events - in that sense it's darker."
>"The stories from the past entries in the Final Fantasy series are not exactly as I would have done, but that's as it should be because I didn't direct them. My only concern in terms of Versus XIII is that [Final Fantasy] always talks about human emotion and psychologies in a broad way, and I want to go deeper in terms of offering some crude reality in terms of human emotion or human [behavior]. The goal, when a player holds a controller and plays [a role-playing game], is to make them believe in another world – to experience a dream in a fictional world. It will be different in Versus XIII because of the intrusion of the real world, and things that are really happening. There will be less fiction and more reality."
People wanted this in a Final Fantasy game? Versus and Nomura would have been BTFO not only by the Western market but also the Japanese unlike what you weeaboo buttfucks think.
X was peak Final Fantasy. Political plots ruined Final Fantasy.
And yes Tactics was unnecessary fuck you Yasumi Matsuno fuck you Tetsuya Nomura and most of all fuck you Stellafag.
IX is a close second but X had the perfect balance of shounen anime and Hollywood cinema which Final Fantasy is supposed to be.
Not Game of Thrones, not Gundam, and certainly not Death Note.

Jack is the best JRPG protag to ever exist.

whatever you say, Barry

Barry is mega cringe. I'll prove it:
If Tabata kept the Duscae battle system while also adjusting it for the DLC content and integrating it into vanilla XV to make something even better than Royal Edition, it would've been perfect. The third best FF game of all time.
Exactly. I may hate the namefag and Nomura's preference for 'le ebin meaningful emotional complex narratives in a fucking video game' but the battle system didn't have to go. Fuck casuals.
Like Barry. Retard can't go around battles without spamming his potions everywhere.
James Long
Nomura lies a lot and never delivers. Where the fuck are his 'destructible environments, cloud movements, huge open areas, etc.' in FF7R? He directed that trash for 5 years and it's just a basic ARPG with hallway design, inconsistent graphics and Midgar being a JPEG. The skybox is a fucking JPEG.
Juan Bennett
Exactly. At least Tabata could've been more transparent than Nomura wasn't.
But there were Western casuals ruining Kanemori's work and he got fired because it was too hard for them to understand apparently. I'd rather have a gameplay system with a high AF skill ceiling than a bad movie plot that a fashion-obsessed false promises fuck thinks it belongs in a video game.
