    I have an idea lets make a game that embodied the spirit of the successful versions, lets stop trying to court devil may cry/elden ring fans and get back to making a turn based rpg or similar to ff10.

    Ff3, ff7, ff9, ff10

    Are great examples of the story lines I loved.

      It doesn’t have to be turn-based. FFXI and FFXII are also great. I feel the bigger issue is that making a story heavy game while everyone else is also making story heavy games makes it no longer unique.

      I wouldn’t mind going back to ATB, but I don’t think that would win back an audience except for nostalgia points.

      Maybe more FF:T though? Kinda miss that.

        I would love a modern FFT or even a paid mobile one with good mobile controls.

      I enjoyed all of them and FFXVI too. I think it’s okay to reinvent FF combat every iteration to keep it fresh. I’m not sure if I’d enjoy a turn based combat today like I enjoyed it 20 years ago.

        I was pretty happy to let FF innovate and leave DQ as the stable JRPG release and then they announced DQ12 would be more action focused

      4,6,7,10

      I don’t know. I know I played 9 in its entirety, but it is completely un-rememberable.

      But yeah, 100% lets get back to the turn-based formula it was meant to be.
      Bonus if we could go back to a 5-team instead of a 3-team

        Vivi? Beatrix? Queen Brahne? Burmecia??

        I found it to be one of the most memorable FFs.

        5, 8, 9, and 10 are the best of the earlier games and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

        And this is why there can be no such thing as an “ideal” FF game outside of perhaps re-remastering 10 again.

        9 is fucking amazing. Best cast of any of that generation.

        10 was the beginning of the end.

      Love this idea. The turn-based system in FFX was my absolute favorite, and I was really sad they didn’t follow this direction further (even for FFX-II, like WTF).
