Nah. It'll be shit as usual ever since the PS3 games.

Again, Project Athia is FFXVI, that's the "big" reveal. Final Fantasy is now full hollywood. Written by, stylized by, cast by, and directed (sorta) by hollywood. ENJOY.

>similar to XV and VIIR
Both are extremely different so they cant be similar.

Hopefully it is more fantasy and has cute girls again. Never got 15 because it had only men. Gay as hell.

>slower-paced and with a bigger emphasis on strategy
So it will be a half-assed "action" game with some retarded wait/"strategy" mode?

I mean if they tried to do what Resonance of Fate did, I would give it a try. I really liked their combat system.

source on any of those people being in the positions listed for the game? otherwise, 100% bullshit

can't wait to harvest nincel and PCnigger tears

>soken
nice

YoshiP won't abandon us.

It'll be the new MMO
XIV is too inaccessible at this point, its story is more or less over and its very obvious that resources are being siphoned away from it with how the game keeps getting less and less content while milking its whales more and more with the cash shop.

where is nomura

Yeah it worked great in 7r, best combat ive played in years. Cant wait to see what they tweak now.

Hopefully hands off. The dudes plate is already way too full.

better be hard fucking fantasy again or the entire series, console, and both companies can take a flying shit
modern shit can fuck off, i don't want to see so much as a lightbulb anymore

>all these articles from the same iffy source
>a main line ff in modern era
Why is the begining of every next gen always filled with tards

>inaccessible

Release: 2023

that be a pretty short wait compared to every other final fantasy game

>Basically XII-2
Oh how I hope this is real.

It takes literally hundreds of hours to catch up at this point, especially if someone wants to watch all the cutscenes.
That's not the kinda time investment most people are willing to make just to get into a game.

3 years? That's nothing.

Why do you keep posting these lies about Yoshi P or Soken? Both are only working on XIV, go ask them on social media, it's an easy way to piss them both off at this point.

More wacky character less pretty boy pleash

Imagine: it's ready day one and it's Versus XIII

sounds more like your projecting or something a few of my friends started playing the trial last week and they're already about midway through heavensward

They literally just gave out a free trial that is like 100 hours worth of content with no time limit or end. XIV has atleast 3 more expansions too.

im not saying that they'll be working on the game but stop acting like devs wont lie to you on purpose until they're told not to

No it's not user.

FF13- 2009
FF14- 2010 then 2013 which release fucked up many projects like Versus 13 and XV.
FF15- 2016
FF7 Remake - 2020

2023 seems like it would be fairly typical. 7 years between 13 and 15 as mainline games.

But YoshiP said like a year ago that he has no involvement with FFXVI

Okay, so tell me who is in charge of the next expansion? Because he was already signed on as its head and XVI has been in the works for some time now.

Games expanding free2play access is actually a sign of an impending end to the game as well.

What am i supposed to be projecting? I've been playing XIV since HW and made 3 different characters in that time, that doesn't mean it's not kind of inacessible for many normalfags. It's too bloated at this point.

>Soken composing
We're in good hands then.

>class-based mechanics
In my fucking dreams

Why do you have to "catch up" to be "into the game"? Like you just said, there's hundreds of hours of content for new players to enjoy. Even a themepark MMO like XIV has more to offer than just repeating dailies to climb the iLevel treadmill.

>Final fantasy

This series has been irrelevant for twenty full years now. I can't imagine who cares about this

>t. I don't actually play the game but want to keep spouting bullshit

They've made everything easy to get into now. Crafting is easy, the story has been shortened for arr, rotations are easy, fucking ult fights are braindead easy now. the game isn't inaccessible in any way.

I see expanding F2P also a way to get people in more to potentially spend money on the cash shop and maybe subscribe. Like I will never play WoW again most likely because the trials are always timed and fairly limited which isn't how a community who started over 15 years ago can really keep up with when you have jobs and daily adult lives.

Oh no an mmo with an actual story that takes time to get through before you can join the ranks of the mindless grinding drones. The horror.
