The only problem with that is they wouldn't be able to do the complete open-world thing later in the game when you get the airship. We need the airship!

Yeah sort of. But its setting wasn't really used as a meaningful part of the story. It was just pretty backdrops for the character-driven story. I want something much more immersive where the nature of the world affects gameplay. Like using a flying car to move about a city. Or using a...

It's what we're likely to get given the current design trends in the industry. 15 wouldn't have sold 8.5 million if it wasn't open-world and action oriented, at least I don't think so.

There's a fair bit of variety in what people interpret as being "open world" though. I'm not thinking of a Skyrim type situation where you can just go anywhere from the beginning and just disregard the main story. But what about games like Xenoblade Chronicles or even FFXV. Those both have large...

It's one of the few entries in the series I've only ever played once. I liked it back in 2006, but not as much as the other entries I listed. It's a bit too much of an offline MMO for my liking. Too much focus on battles and loot, not enough focus on story and characters. The world of Ivalice...

Well whatever happens, if all of Midgar is explorable, it'll be massive. I expect it wont be though. I expect it will be a bit like Altissia in FFXV. Lots of nice background scenery but you can only explore like 1/5th of the whole city.

Damn, I never even noticed that. You're right. It says Kalm 51, Junon 133. Ok so either they've changed that, or we're definitely not getting to-scale open world. That would violate ever image we've ever seen of Midgar. The radius of the city has always been about twice the height of the...

All the adamontoise stuff can be done before the final boss though (I think).

A thing I'm wondering about episode Ardyn is whether they changed what it's about. If anyone remembers back to the original announcement, it was described as: Episode I: Ardyn “The Conflict of the Sage” (Working Title) (Winter 2019) – This story portrays the struggles of Ardyn. Witness the...

If someone's actually remaking all of this, why not just make the game in 3D? The pre-rendered backgrounds were just because of the hardware limits of the time. You could easily have the same scenes and same camera angles with proper 3D scenes.

Yeah I just have a pedantic thing where I like it to be playable within the main storyline. Most Final Fantasies allow you to do all of the "end-game" content just before you fight the final boss, rather than after. Wish XV had done the same.

Understandable

Lol technically it doesn't. You can only get it after finishing the game, therefore it's not canon and doesn't officially exist. I'm not even joking. This is how my brain works!

Far better than "Welcome to the Friend Zone, nerd"

I usually think of it in terms of the setting more than the story themes. I'm fine with the generic "band of misfits opposing an evil empire" story as long as the setting and characters are all interesting. I'm not someone who cares too much for the deeper themes. The setting I'd like to see...

The only potential problem with a to-scale open world, as several people have pointed out, is that the original game world would end up being like 50 miles across. They have the problem of the fact that we have a vague sense of how big Midgar is and we also know it's fairly small compared to...

That's quite the claim. Don't think I've heard anyone say it's their favourite of all time. I love the game. I think its good points more than compensated for its many flaws and I think the DLC completely changed the quality of the game. Ignis and Prompto DLCs especially changed the experience...

My big hopes for the remake are just that they don't mess with the core story points, but that they add a lot of new meat to the bones with new side-quests and subplots. I also want them to recreate the world as faithfully as possible. By that I mean I really want Kalm to look exactly like it...

How bad must that version have been for them to full-on cancel it? Nintendo usually just tinker with things until it's improved. I seem to remember they even did that with the original Metroid Prime.

Greetings internet denizens. I'm Gary (real name) Caelum (not real name). I'm a long term Final Fantasy obsessive. I've bought ever main entry on launch day since FF7 and my favourite in the series are 7,9,6 and 10 (in that order). I'm also one of the rare specimens who loved both 13 and 15...
