People don't seem to realise how badly they don't actually want a FF7 remake, so I did them a favour and asked Squeenix to stop making games.

George posted:I just felt like the setting was all the wrong parts of old-school jrpgs, and the combat was cool and all, but ultimately didn't give enough freedom to put a build together. It didn't grab me, and I stopped playing it after a while when it felt like a chore. You should have kept playing. Like the freedom the game gives you with builds is what is ultimately so appealing. That and the developers already know what all the broken builds are, so you have to specifically break the game yourself to be able to deal with the poo poo it throws at you later.

I know the "future" of the Ivalice games is cellphone microtransaction bullshit we'll never see in America, judging by Tactics S, so I wouldn't be surprised if Seiken Densetsu went the same way, especially after the series's last few showings. (Please don't talk to me about Heroes of Mana.)

I told Square Enix that no matter how good of a job they do on a hypothetical remake of FF7, nerds everywhere will endlessly bitch and moan about it, so their best course of action is to keep trying new things. Like putting together a free roam online experience for Just Cause 3, for example.

I would have asked for another SaGa game, but hey, apparently we're already getting one! I might plead for them to not go "well, didn't sell tens of millions, clearly not worth making another one" but I have no faith they'll follow through on that one.

I basically pleaded for them to go back to their roots. Also the next game they should make is Dissidia  (I understand how contrary that sounds, but gently caress you, Dissidia is amazing.)

I dunno, I just think people got too excited about the job system and cut the game a lot of slack for being "old-school". As for what I asked for, I just wanted a remastered FFXII and for them to recognize what made their old games so great. Like, get in the lab and figure out what you loving lost you hacks. It's like the Square of old is their direct competitor, and they have to reverse engineer what they used to be. Each of us cared enough to fill out a huge lovely survey just to tell them what's what in a few words. Like, holy poo poo.

Who report to the Marketing Team about making sure their dialogue is in line with what Marketing expects their audience to like.  And this is why I liked Sahz. He may not have been a great character, but he was amazing as a character (if you get what I mean).

Yeah, problem is that they make expensive art and more expensive prerendered video assets first and then figure out where in the story those should go second. That process is rear end-backwards. Overall story (maybe not every last detail, but all the important bits) and general gameplay design should be the early parts, so everything after that is working from a mostly set-in-stone story and gameplay structure. Also marketing should stay the gently caress out of everything.

Three iterations of FFXIII and FFXV dev hell (not forgetting vanilla FFXIV) really broke the image of Square Enix didnt it? What they lost is Development focus and most importantly: A story that isnt 3 miles up its own rear end. Also Vil, doesnt that explain XIII/XV development rather than anything prior?

I wouldn't be surprised if it applied to 8 as well, although they've been less public about just why that particular story has its issues, compared to 13 and 15's clearly stated development hell. I actually don't really have major problems with the rest of their stories, although in some cases this means deliberately ignoring EU. Not just 7's infamous EU of course, but 4's After Years was pretty egregious (but then again, that's more on Matrix Software), and 10's attempts at an expanded EU beyond X-2 (which itself wasn't that bad) is mostly just making GBS threads over itself. I don't think S-E's very good at going from "we tied up all the loose ends" to "let's make a sequel". Which is, really, completely fair. It's okay for something to be a one-off story which is now over. Trying to force it usually doesn't work very well.

I just said a Parasite Eve 1/2 HD rerelease cuz I've seen what they've done to all of their eligible franchises.  I also said they should put FFXIV's dev team on the main series dev team in some capacity cuz the main series needs Godbert-esque levity. Also said to make KH's plot a less rear end-backwards clusterfuck but it's a bit late for that. I just gave up after 2 when I saw what to expect.

You know, with the gritty medivapolitics genre being in recently it might've not been a bad time make a new Ivalice game. Too bad that ship has already sailed, what with it Square's development times and the fact they ate the soul of the guy who made those games or something.

berryjon posted:They do have writers! Unfortunately the same thing that allows them to do crazy awesome things like reboot an MMO almost from the ground up because people REALLY don't like it (FFXIV) also causes their development woes: their money source. On one hand using their own money means they avoid being beholden to Publishers and their development oversight (of which EA has shown the faults for time and time again) on the other hand that means it's their own fault for doing the same thing to themselves to get a return on investment. Fact of the matter is, making games for money (as a business) is leagues different than making games for fun (making dreams come true.) While I still believe they can pull the latter off since they still have elements of their previous successes scattered throughout their recent games they're only going to do so once they get a good team working together.

If I could have made it red, underlined, and bolded, I would have. Then I said they should let Yoshida make all the major decisions at SE HQ forever, and be made god-president for life.

In much the same way, I said to do it based on the original script, and explicitly warned against letting any of the EU characterization stuff creep in and ruin it. Because, y'know, saying "don't gently caress it up" is what I meant but didn't think they'd take it seriously. Though I really should have said Einhänder 2.
