Recently Famitsu had a chance to speak with several Square-Enix alum about their feelings about the future of the Final Fantasy series. They were asked about what they would see Final Fantasy XX being like many (probably), many years in the future. The responses were mostly light-hearted with Final Fantasy Legends producer Takashi Tokita referring to a Smell-O-Vision type mechanic where players would be able to smell the scent of a heroine’s fragrance or the stench of a Malboro. Final Fantasy XIV director/producer Naoki Yoshida (aka Yoshi-P) commented that Final Fantasy XX “will be the second open world FF and will have a main character who can cross time and travel through the worlds of the previous nineteen FF games.”
What do you think is possible for Final Fantasy XX? Let us know by leaving a comment below or joining the discussion in our forum.
It’s stuff like this that makes me a fan of this series, that’s led me to hopping on board with this site so quickly, it’s always has had, and always will no matter how mainstream the series gets, a subculture of hilariously awesome dedicated fans who are constantly drumming up fun and interesting media related to the series. I haven’t quite found anything like this video before. Titled Burning Question #1: What is a Chocobo?, this video, by the team at Buffering While Bored, attempts to answer the question, “Is Final Fantasy so mainstream that Chocobo has become a household name?” I’m sure you’ll agree that the results are quite hilarious!
FinalFantasy.net introduces a new segment where we’ll be featuring submissons of Dissidia videos (we’re open to artful screenshots too) by our readers. I’ll start this week off with a video from my personal collection!
Final Fantasy XIV is just over a month away (even sooner if you’ve pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition) and it promises to definitely eat up a healthy portion of your schedule. Since MMORPGs tend to involve a lot of time and time management, we’re wondering on whether you’ve got the time or the interest for Final Fantasy XIV to make room in your schedule. The latter portion of this year seems to be crowded with other MMORPG releases, namely World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and DC Universe Online. Even Final Fantasy XI die-hards may feel that a migration isn’t in their most immediate interest with Abyssea expansions slated over the next several months. Here are today’s prompts:
Topic du Jour is a segment we’d like to introduce that spurs a community discussion of the selected prompt. As the title suggests, we’d like to have one per day for our readers and forum friends, though we may go a few days in between without a new one just as we get settled. So without further adieu:
