Once FF7 remake is complete, Kingdom Hearts will be saved.
So the 7 remake crew is really the A team and the FF16 crew are the B team, explains a lot.
>>738949569doesn’t Disney have ultimate creative control over KH? the next one will also be shit
>>738949569He's good at his job
FF7R3's real name is Final Fantasy XVII
>>738949569Don't you get tired of spam FF7 threads for the entire day/week/month?
>>738950135>XVII>X+VII>both take place in the same universeNah, that's too kino for SE.
>>738950303Don't you get tired of being a schizo who thinks everything you don't like is from "that one guy?"
>>738949892Creative Studio 1 is the Final Fantasy Team. They were busy with the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, so they turned whatever Creative Studio 3 was working on into Final Fantasy XVI.
>>738949892Pretty muchOnce everyone knew the 7 Remake was the next big project they took the like half the FF14 team that made the Heavensward expansion and stuck them on 16.Hell if you play 14 even if you didn't know it happened you can feel their absence in how the game changed going into Stormblood expansion.
>>738949569>Nomura appointed another captain to his sinking ship while he heads for the life boats>AGAINAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>738951105>Hell if you play 14 even if you didn't know it happened you can feel their absence in how the game changed going into Stormblood expansion.It made the game better?
>>738951105And 16 has a lot of mmo dna
Has anyone besides me put together how insulting KH3 was to Square Enix - particularly the Squaresoft alums - on Disney's part?
>>738951834Gameplaywise yesBut if the introductory cutscene to Heavenward where your entering Ishgard didn't ignite a fire in your chest that lasted until end ending of The Final Steps of Faith and which the game never was able to recapture to the same extent, you lack a certain European Masculine spirit.
>>738950030Its a Disney ip that square is allowed to work on
>>738953538The Frozen fuckery and that only the Pixar guys actually cared to worth with the team is well known but anything beyond that your going to have to explain.
>>738951629>it's not Nojima this timehope the guy is finally done cleaning up after Nomura
>>738953759>you lack a certain European Masculine spiritReminder that this twink is your main companion throughout the entirety of Heavensward
>>738949569Nobody cares about KH anymore after they completely shit the bed with 3.

>>738954226He is the naïve child that is forced to grow via his experiences.Quite literally made better by the other men in his life shaping and driving him to be better.
>>738949569Final Fantasy isn't Final Fantasy unless it's turn-BASED. The demakes, 15, and 16 are trash.
>>738950135Holy kinoWould be a brave thing to pull off
>>738949569Im only buying when it's complete and not a second beforeSonic 4 part 1, anyone?Heroine anthem zero, anyone?I aint buying till the whole thing is outI want a finished product
>>738949569I’m so tired of FF7 remake, get this shit out of the way. We get it gramps, you’re reliving your glory days. It’s KH’s turn now.
>>738953990In the late 90's Squaresoft were trying to branch out and make CG movies. In 2001 they released a movie worldwide through Colombia Pictures called Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. They hired some renowned western screenwriters and western voice actors and were really trying to make a movie that would break into the western market. There was trouble at nearly every level of the production, possibly including at the screenwriting level itself. ie. the movie was sabotaged throughout production and then under-marketed when it was about to be released into theaters. Coincidentally, completely and totally unrelated, Disney moved their Japan offices into Squaresoft's building as the movie was in production. Disney just so happened to own Pixar, and may or may not have had an interest in crushing any competition when it came to CG animation filmmaking. KH3's levels are almost entirely based on Pixar and Disney Animation Studio CGI movies. Which, you know, is definitely not Disney rubbing it in Nomura's face or anything.
>>738949569Hamagoat needs to finish FF7R first.
>>738954871Dude Spirits Within's failing are its own fault, your reaching for conspiracy like a sctizo right now.
>>738955698
>>738955698>its own faultThat's kinda what he's saying though. That because square grabbed western guys even for the script, it was sabotaged to be something that wouldn't work(but the japanese thought it was fine.)He's still a schizo, but you found fault with the wrong part.
>>738956062>Fair, I was trying to implicate the entire post without addressing the second part directly since I thought ti was obviously absurd but in addressing the first part I fucked up my intention.
Who was the previous head of CS1? Was it Kitase?
Do you agree that FF7R is just a copy of FF8?https://youtu.be/WIAa1QYJQzo
>>738956062>>738956153Fools.
What the hell is the point of having different development teams when both of your tentpole franchises are under the same branch?
>>738949892>>738950918Rebirth still bombed
>>738956628>If I just spam this in every FF thread, then it will eventually come true. It's MAGIC!Move on with your life, bro.
>>738949569where's the same outrage yoshida recieved?ah right, ff7r doesn't compete with wow
>>738956803All it takes is a 2m sales announcement
I'm tellin' you man, they're gonna try to tie KH4 into it canonically
>>738956897The FF8 metastasis has to be stopped.
>>738949569I've tried kingdom hearts and just can't get into it. what about it is so appealing to so many people?
>>738953990>frozen Qrd? I vaguely remember watching it with my cousins then playing through KH 3 seemed to follow the story beats?
He hasn't made a single good game and they have him in charge of the two cash cows? What the fuck is wrong with Square Enix, no wonder the company is dieing and all their AAA games flop
>>738956848Well, he is clearly correct. Even E33 was full of action elements for a reason.Here ya go, sales schizo.
>>738957176>Well, he is clearly correct.that's my point. and the hate toward these opinions coming from people who actually develops videogames was entirely manufactured.
>>738957025As a KH fan, that's a damn good question. I think it's because the whole thing is such an odd synthesis but it's played completely straight, genuine and not at all like a cynical parody.
>>738957025Most people got into it because they were kids, so it permanently metastasized into their brains. Some of the games are legit great games in terms of gameplay, but you literally need to be a child or have extreme nostalgia to stomach the story. If you just want a good action JRPG play KH2 final mix on critical mode and skip all the cutscenes.
>>738954871Friendly reminder that the term "schizo" has been intentionally associated with "revolutionary thought"Because the status quo is fine, right?If you disagree you're crazy
>>738957025Which ones have you tried?
>>738953538>anyone besides meIts one of the most common complaints moron
>>738949569>KH was screwed over because of Versus XIII back in the day leading to Osaka team shit>KHIV is screwed over because of FFVII shitI fucking hate Final Fantasy! I just want to beat up Disney villains with a funny key!
>>738960149No I've literally never seen anyone put together how insulting it is to Square Enix. People just say "it's bad" but they don't seem to realize how bad it is and how much of that is down to Disney's intentional petty cruelty
>>738954871>KH3's levels are almost entirely based on Pixar and Disney Animation Studio CGI movies.>Which, you know, is definitely not Disney rubbing it in Nomura's face or anything.Disney wants to promote their latest animated films, which are all cgi now. It's not always a sinister conspiracy.
>>738962346You don't have to be comfortable
>>738960563Pretty sure it's the other way around.
>>738949569Personally, I felt the FF7 remake was a shit smear upon the franchise.And SE is just as much to blame as this cuck. They're retarded. Absolutely fucking stupid with it.There should be younger leadership, but that doesn't mean it can be anyone. The Boomers sitting on the board of directors should have been told to fuck off like Matsuda that fat retard years ago.
What is Nomura even doing anymore if both 7R and KH4 are now being made by someone else? What's he cooking?
>>7389598463 and then 1 very briefly
>>738963039Read the tweet againNomura will still be making KH4.Hamaguchi's job will be looking over his shoulder and making sure he doesn't fuck up.
>>738956628I'm still buying FF7 Remake part 3, discord tranny.
>>738963149Oh, well 3 is the worst one by a long shot. People like 1 and 2 the best. They've got good gameplay and some loveable characters, and the side games explore the world and characters well.
>>738963273Isn't Nomura supposed to be his senior?
>>738949569>dur lets turn Final Fantasy gameplay into Kingdom Hearts as wellfuck this guy
>>738963458KH is already Final Fantasy
>>738963436Yeah but once you reach a high enough level of the Japanese corpo power structure there is a sweet spot around the directorial level where merit does start to factor in a little bit.
Haven't played 3 yet. found the first game's combat frustrating every now and then. First one I played was DDD and I liked it. I'm on Re:CoM rn and it's whatever. I don't get why people don't like DDD.
>>738965613In terms of gameplay alone, DDD is just a stripped down version of BBS with pokemon mechanics and a bunch of unnecessary gimmicks. The pokemon themselves aren't even that helpful most of the time and the game forces you to raise them because it's the only way to unlock new abilities. In BBS, you could just fuse the abilities you wanted early on if you knew the right combos.If you've never played BBS, I wouldn't blame you for thinking DDD is good. But once you have, you really see how much of a downgrade DDD was. The ironic thing is that Re:coded, a DS game that never even got ported also has a way better deck command system than DDD.
>>738949569Wait is Osaka Team no longer a thing then? That's good news, Re:Mind was actually very good, but FFVII Rebirth just feels a lot better to control, these guys make much tighter feeling combat systems, the former KH team was incapable of not making it feel floaty.
>We are announcing a trailer soon for FF7 D3make - please expect and 2032 release and wait patiently >Once we have finished our extended universe we will begin work on KH4 in 2032 and expect a release by 2040 - please be patientMeanwhile in the background>all directors and old leads are jumping ship and investors/owners are still begging sony to buy them outLmao
>>738965613All post-KH2 games fall flat in terms of raw responsiveness and combat depth till the KH3 DLC.The key things people point out as downsides of the post-2 games is the length of time your in the air without being able to get down making combos feel worse, and that enemies are not as responsive to the player acting upon them in combat, BBS's ultimate superboss being the worst offender of it.
>>738963458Honestly I wished that's how it went with FF15 after watching the versus trailer for the first time.
bump
>>738972810I still don't get how XV's combat ended up so shit. I know it was made by a whole new team, not the KH team but the foundation was right there since Versus13. They just decided to do their own thing and it plays terribly. It's like the person who designed it had never touched an action game in their life.
KH2 was his peak, his magnum opus, after that everything he directs is a development hell. He should just step back into being an executive producer and character designer
>>738956864why would they announce 2m, when it's well above that?
>>738963039For all our stakes Hopefully versus 13 but forreal this time
>>738978302Stranger of Paradise is his magnum opus. He should make more games like that if he can
>>738954516>let's put the guy that kept us afloat with mobile slop in charge>FF7Retard underperforms greatly>let's give him more projectsI want to watch SE burned to the ground so bad.
Maybe it's because I'm so high IQ, but I don't understand fans of a dev company's games who wish negative things on said company when they misstep. Why not wish they get back on track and on top of things
>>738957025it is the best hack and slash game series of all time, kh2fm beats anything else
>>738965613DDD is annoying because the story sucks and doesnt make any sense, the minigames to play with the animals gets boring and it keeps forcing to swap between characters EVEN when in a boss battle which doesnt make any fucking sense
I just miss Squaresoft man.
I really hope "3" getting cucked by modern Shitney killed this shit series.Terra having a better comeback than fucking Roxas says everything about writing or cinematography being a complete failure on top of everything else compared to the first fucking PS2 games after more than a decade to polish this massive climax's script. 100 Acre Wood going from a traditionally nice minigame area to a complete joke that didn't even bring everyone back, no fucking tournaments at Olympus so there isn't even anything to do with your toys, completely lifeless cutscenes where everyone looks or acts like plastic with inhuman dialogue loaded with bullshit retcons like Vexen secretly being good so everyone conveniently gets their replicas with no buildup or personal challenges to do the impossible giving everyone their lives back. You can't make this shit up, it just keeps going.Light Expires.
>>738983062since frozen director refused to have sora, donald and goofy involved with the story, it should have been cut out of the game entirelyjust a huge waste of time, the bad guy doesnt even get a single line of dialoguehow the game hyped up the 7 keyblade users of light then keyblade graveyard just killed them all in 2 seconds was fucking hilarious, then they were brought back somehow? time was reset? i played the game and i have no ideai have no hopes for kh4
