Spoiler

Rumor for now, but apparently Square Enix is working with Team Ninja on a new Souls-like Final Fantasy game:

This could actually be amazing, if done right. There are very few developers who can do combat better than Team Ninja, and it seems their work with Nioh was clearly noticed.

Alpha demo apparently coming this summer. Thumbs up.

Not just Nioh, they have been developing that weird Dissidia game for them.

I'm definitely curious - only played the first Nioh but thought it was very solid overall, even if I could do with much less of the diablo lootapalooza and associated constant inventory/menu management.

if it's anything like nioh i am so fucking down to bone

"Expect the title to play similar to Nioh or other games in the genre, but to be more accessible for a wider audience", the article explains.

is set somewhere in the same world as the very first Final Fantasy title on the NES

It's going to be shit. Watch it be a double kick in the fucking balls as it's intended to be a full on remake of the original FF.

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Maxwell's Demon]

The core takeaway from the Dark Souls series was that it is counterproductive to try to make games more accessible to a hypothetical "wider audience," so in what way is this supposed to be inspired by that series? It sounds like uninspired BS.

 

[Hassar]

I am curious to see some concept art to get an idea what the team’s creative vision is. I agree that making a “Dark Souls”-like game while saying you want to make it ‘more accessible’ is not a good sign.

People take the Souls-like shit too literally. It's just some marketing buzz word to capture some mainstream attention. Team Ninja have already put out some really great "souls-like" games with Nioh. Looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Nioh but with Final Fantasy monsters and maybe job classes sounds pretty sick
Like, imagine Red Mage gameplay.

Yes.

There goes my hope of FF Origin being the brand name for when Square makes SNES nostalgia bait FF titles in the vein of Bravely Default again, as soon as they realise that actually the people do want turn based more than this gay western open world shit.

So, most people play Final Fantasy for the story and Souls - like are very light on that one. Or are we just slashing up chocobos with Teeth? ... I would be in^^.

Chocobos are never an enemy! You'd probably have a Chocobo mount, though.

Final Fantasy Origin? There's a Final Fantasy Origins on the PS1. It had FF1 and FF2. I wonder if Square remembers.

So, Vagrant Story without RTwP?

They do not. Their Japanese office/HQ probably forgot. It won’t come up until their attorneys do I.P. checks and mention that they already used that title.
