Please no. FFX- Will did not do a good job setting up a sequel

Release a sequel for World of Final Fantasy instead

porkChop1014d ago

I'd be down for another WoFF.

bouzebbal1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

I’d only be interested in the graphics.. FFX sucks due to its ridiculous voice acting

Lightning Mr Bubbles1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

What would it be about? FFX to me is the G.O.A.T, but X-2 ruined it already. I mean Tidus comes back? That ruined the whole sad masterpiece that was FFX. So now what? Tidus and Yuna are married and their kid goes missing and they have to go rescue him? I mean seriously... what would it be about?

Lightning Mr Bubbles1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

Also, I wonder why these talks are happening now? FFX and FFX-2 where PS2 era games. Man, I remember those days, I was basically still a kid myself back then, it's been like over 20 years. Most kids today might not even remember FFX. Would they care for FFX-3, they would probably have to go back and play at least the original to even care.

But who knows, I think the success of the FF7 Remake is opening new possibilities. That's probably where these ideas are coming from.

Lightning Mr Bubbles1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

Those who are disagreeing with my comment. By all means, please tell me what you think the story would be about then.

porkChop1014d ago

Why are you guys replying to me about FFX? I said I want another World of Final Fantasy lol. I thought X-2 sucked, and definitely don't want X-3.

My issue with FF sequels is that they introduce so much new s*** that it barely looks like the world and lore of the original. You end up scratching your head thinking “where the hell was this powerful magic/ability/enemy that can destroy the world and everyone seems to know about during the previous game?”. If they can somehow keep it simple and remember why FFX was so good to a lot of people, this could actually be good. But… I wouldn’t keep my hopes up.

Eonjay1014d ago

I understand the sentiment but I still believe that final fantasy 13:2 was not only superior to the original but it was one of the greatest final fantasies ever made.

ManMarmalade1014d ago (Edited 1014d ago )

@eonjay - hard disagree. Though I loved x-2 and only played it to revisit spira and for the true ending, the combat for the game was the only thing I thought was amazingly well done. The story was just whatever. Definitely not one of the best in the series.

Snookies121014d ago

@Eonjay - Completely agree, I even went out of my way to get the Platinum trophy for XIII-2! Such a great game, that gave me some Chrono Trigger vibes with the time travel and alternate timelines. Such a cool concept, and a really great and engaging game throughout. It made me want to explore every area and find every secret. Fixed so much of what was wrong with the original XIII, and yet people still hate on it.

KDblack1014d ago

You're not wrong, but sometimes you get a Crisis Core that works with the original game while fleshing out the setting. There's still some weird stuff that was clearly added later, but I will never not cry over Zack Fair.

Dirge of Cerberus has no excuse though.

-Foxtrot1013d ago

Yeah pretty much spot on

They need to focus on their lore more instead of just shoving brand new shit into the game

Like hypothetically, if a game said in the main games lore there was another evil hundreds of years ago but was vanquished, then you would expect any sequel to go off that little lore piece, but they'd rather just introduce something brand new that was happening roughly the same time as the evil you were facing in the last game but you never knew about because they've just forced it in.

Worse when they do prequels and force things in, like I wouldn't mind a Jecht, Aaron and Braska prequel showing their entire journey but I would know what happens, there's no real threat to these characters and I know Square would add a lot of things in where you'd be left scratching your head going "we didn't hear about this and it's pretty significant" or "that's a pretty big twist, it kinda retcons what we learnt in FFX"

As long as it's not as cringe-worthy as FFX-2 was. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game itself. And beat it a few times through. But man, what were they thinking having Yuna as a pop star... Such a terrible choice for her character coming from the original.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow201d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga201d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183200d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB201d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo200d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic200d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183329d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69329d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name329d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot329d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic331d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129329d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183329d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake331d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183329d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name329d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183329d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
