So I saw they released Final Fantasy Resonance. And it seems like an amalgam game. Like a best of episode. And that’s not what I mean. For me growing up FF7 was my introduction to the series. I had a Super Nintendo but I just missed FF6 somehow. I think it would be awesome if Square Enix’s next mainline title was a throwback (visually) and sported modern retro pixel graphics. All new characters and a new storyline though. They won’t do that but I think it would be awesome.
I also really enjoyed Xenogears, one of my top three games of all time for sure. There is a game on steam called Chained Echos that hit some of those same notes.

This is the kind of thing I’m talking about.
I wish they‘d use the system in FFX again
That system may actually be the absolute best of its kind. FFX isn’t even my favorite, but the combat system WAS really really good.
I haven’t played FFX since it came out but I do remember absolutely hating the grid level up mechanic. I remember liking the way they handled summoning though.
I hope not. That the Sphere grid was great, but the turn-based combat was like watching paint dry, and that’s coming from a fan of FFIX.
FFX-2 ATB though, I wouldn’t mind.
