The 4 Warriors of Light…?
Posted on July 1st, 2009 10 comments
Japanese gamers’ response to the announcement of Square’s new DS title was a bit reserved, chiefly because most expected the game to be SaGa 4 or Romancing SaGa 4.

Just stop making 3D DS games already!93 ： ニリンソウ(九州・沖縄)：2009/07/01(水) 22:25:14.66 ID:Zl+dk6+/
Whew…I’m just glad the Romancing SaGa series is safe…112 ： シバザクラ・フロッグストラモンティ(東京都)：2009/07/01(水) 22:25:58.92 ID:1riYtmX4
You people are ridiculously rough on Square.
Every day you’re all “Square makes nothing but remakes and sequels, fuck ‘em,” and when they put out a new game you treat it like shit174 ： ナズナ(関西地方)：2009/07/01(水) 22:29:29.35 ID:OONQBAUt

It’s shit because they slapped the FF name on it
If it was actually a new title it’d be forgivable192 ： フデリンドウ(東京都)：2009/07/01(水) 22:30:01.43 ID:oH91exdb
Don’t put up a countdown page for some garbage DS RPG
Go out of business already

It’s not like there’s anyone left to make anything on a level with RS2 or RS3…254 ： オニタビラコ(アラバマ州)：2009/07/01(水) 22:33:26.25 ID:tbGwn0tW
Take the visuals away from FF, and there’s nothing left…
The series has no gameplay, after all…273 ： クロッカス(静岡県)：2009/07/01(水) 22:34:25.51 ID:f+piYwy3
What is this a ‘gaiden’ for in the first place?
It’s not like the FF stories are connected to each other405 ： ハナイバナ(静岡県)：2009/07/01(水) 22:42:46.13 ID:Bx1QklP+
Doing countdowns for DS software should be outlawed.520 ： アブラチャン(福井県)：2009/07/01(水) 22:50:23.88 ID:x3HATJLe
I know the platform hardware doesn’t figure into what makes a game fun,
but you can’t make a 3D game with below-PS1-standard graphics.
Something like SaGa Frontier 2 would’ve been fine…don’t force polygons into it590 ： ヘビイチゴ(長屋)：2009/07/01(水) 22:56:26.53 ID:zSyObewj
So have some subcontractor make a game, slap “FF” on it, and sell it.Hell of a business.

How could this look worse than an SFC game?
Am I ever going to see 2D art as beautiful as this again?783 ： トリアシスミレ(北海道)：2009/07/01(水) 23:13:25.96 ID:TlzvjDFF
When Square and Enix first merged, I was so excited about how FF and DQ would evolve in the coming years.Then this happened

i feel much the same way as the posters. i saw the yoshida art and was like mmmmmm and then i saw the screenshots and was like baaaaaaaaarf. that (romasaga?) sprite rip screen is just painful reiteration of the point. why make something fake retro if it’s, as was said, sub-PS1? DIE DIE DIE DIE

Hmm… I doubt that some of those posters are from Alabama or Connecticut… or is that a “feature” of the anonymous posting system?

mikef: You are correct. (What “Anonymous” comes up as is different for nearly every 2ch subboard.)

The fact that Japanese people love SaGa games so much testifies to their crappy taste in games.
Besides, when Famitsu gives the game a 38/40 or something like that, all the people who were bitching before will be polishing Squeenix’s knob in praise in between playings of Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest.

I kinda feel the same way as those guys: this game feels like a few steps back. And people are rough on Square because they used to bring great things to the table, and Final Fantasy used to be a series you could bank on being worth your money, even if it wasn’t perfect.
Now we’re up to, what, XIII with XIV hot on its heels and a lot of FF sequels (Advent Children, After Years), I can’t help but wish they’d just focus on some of their other properties.
