Magitek Armor Preview with FFVI look-a-likes

[Andromeda]

Square Enix released some new video and screenshots of the Magitek that will be making into the final game for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. To show off the new footage they played a little homage to past game Final Fantasy VI, with their riders looking suspiciously familiar. Fans of FFVI should be pleased.

I saw this on YouTube earlier, it looks pretty well done, though I must admit, it is odd seeing a reproduced FFVI scene with today's graphics. It didn't have a moviesh feel like the original when they were heading down the mountain. Other than that it was impressive.

Not another online game. I'm tired of having to rely on other people to enjoy a FF. I'm a soloist type of player. Seeing people grouped together, talking, fooling around kills the atmosphere. You know there're 100 guys like you waiting to join battles and missions. Feels crowded.

Took a while to see this. Yoshida's decision pleases me. My anger towards Squeenix's current decisions is somewhat sated by this.

Now: I know they're meant to be mere look-alikes, and shouldn't be taken at face value, but there's two things you can see from this:

1. What if this represented not merely a promotion for FFXIV and their Magitek Armor, but a demo for FFVI in high definition? That would be quite impressive; alas, a dream, but impressive.
2. Look at the Terra-expy hair. It's green... IT'S GREEEN!!!! HA! TAKE THAT, NOMURA!!

...j/k on that one. Then again, I always say Amano is forgiven.

Final Fantasy Online is about being one of those characters in a Final Fantasy. Instead of you playing each 8 characters you are one. FFXI and now FFXIV are the ultimate Final Fantasy games.


Back to the scene. I loved the intro to it, that song was really really good.

Nice. Shameless but great fanservice. I remember the director saying he'd like to implement VII's Golden Saucer *faints* down the line as well. I really love the idea of iconic elements from previous titles, preferably during the PS era i.e. the "Golden Age" of Final Fantasy(by SE's own admission) just finding their way in with no pretense, just appearing because they'd be cool *___*
Thats a surefire way to attract more players including myself because I hold absolutely no interest in playing ANY games online.

**** that game would be sweet in HD. It would make money too, the battle/party development system is engaging, and steampunk is cool instead of nerdy now. Well, a little nerdy. But it would sell.

I believe the Golden Saucer is going to make into the game. I don't remember all the details clearly, but I'm pretty sure it was happening. It definitely feels like Yoshida wants to pool together all of the best moments or fan favorite things from FF games and let you experience them in the game. He is really about making this game for FF fans. Materia is in the game.

It'd be cool to see FFVI in HD, but they seem to like to made the Nintendo FFs for handhelds, namely Nintendo handhelds.

I can't believe the Golden Saucer is going to make into the game.
