A list of some of our favorite spin-offs that ended up being sort of better than than mainline series that they came from.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.
The studio was on the verge of collapse when Persona 3 came out, and things were looking quite grim for Atlus. Regardless, many decisions made in the game paid off and became a staggering success.
Years ago, I was emulating the game on my laptop and the old thing died when I was about to get to the final boss. I'm more than happy to buy this remake when it comes out so I can finish it!
At the time I was immersed in SMT Nocturne and later DDS. I did not realize at all how important Persona would become for me years later.
Persona 3 FES was the first one that I played in the series. Looking forward to the remake.
The Prime series of Metroid is debatable. I still think Super Metroid was the best game in the series, with Fusion being second best. The Prime games certainly were amazing in their own right though.
Everyone should try Prey:Mooncrash. I know it's not strictly a spin-off, but man, I am having so much more fun with it than I did in the main game. The new Roguelike game mechanics make it feel like a whole new game.
Edit: SkillUp knows what I'm taling about https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Does Metroid Prime really count as a spin-off??? I mean it still revolves around Samus and the space pirates and metroids and mother brain just in a FPS setting instead of side scrolling.
To me a spin-off is something derived from the main series and able to stand on it's own. Halo ODST is a spin-off because it does not center around MC but rather other UNSC troops in a setting that is parallel to that of Halo 3. Half Life Blue Shift is a spin-off because it takes place in parallel to Gordon Freeman but you play the role of the security guard.
Metroid prime you are just in a different story / setting of the series but still playing as Samus so I don't feel it counts in the same sense. Jeffersons were a spin-off from All in the family. A different world is a spin-off from Cosby show... you get the idea.
What makes Metroid Prime a spinoff compared to other mainline installments in other series that made the jump to 3D?
Prime isn’t a spin-off sorry
