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
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.
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.
