[17/08] Naoki Yoshida: Regaining the trust of Final Fantasy fans will take a “long time”

[HolyDragoon]

As one of those rare people that are playing XIV, and experiencing what Yoshida can do in the FF series. He's literally a godsend, he's taken a complete flop of an FF game and made it feel like Final Fantasy again. If he was at the helm of the FFXV, I would be already pre-ordering.

I'm not a big MMO player either. I fall into his category of FF player that has only played 2 MMOs (more than a week), FFXI (which is regarded as successful, but not enough to draw console gamers in), and now XIV (which I only continued to play because I really want SE to turn around, and they are)

Not that 1 fan's opinion means a lot, but I think it says something about what SE is trying to do for the FF series. Yoshida gets it, and he's the first person in the company that I think understands what an FF game is in a modern era.

Definitely agree with these titles finally getting out there to the world, too.

Sadly, XIII is still SE's cash cow. They know everyone absolutely loves Lightning, so they'll prey on that. Bah.

The only game i have enjoyed featuring lightning was a H-Game where........ well you know. Thats her only redeeming quality.

I'm sorry for the Gif but...really? While I have no opinion on XIV as of now, final Fantasy is not known for their MMO's. This will only serve to please one quarter of your demographic and cause the rest to bugger off some place. What you really need, Is a good CONSOLE game. But no, you have to completely ignore the Bread and Butter of the FF series and ask for our forgiveness.

Get real.



I don't see anything else of interest floating around SE. Remasters aren't going to pull everyone back. Better get on that, don't you think?

Honestly it looks like Ff14 is an excuse for ff13. If you think about it they force the series into sequels and continue to milk it...and the sales are getting lower.

At least with ff144 they can patch it up amd rework on it because its an MMO.
