Final Fantasy [redacted] S: iOS/Android game that is not at all Tactics

[Evane]

I hate where this is going...

[Corrderio]

When I read this last night I was hoping it was a bad dream. Sadly it wasn't....

Shame to. I thought the concept of an online FFT would be fun and interesting. Too bad they went down the worst route for the idea.

[Nama]

I got so hyped for that one second I saw the title before the thread loaded. Now I'm rather depressed.

Why does SE do this to themselves? It's like they want to be hated, or something.

Good lord, they are so incredibly detached from their customers.

I thought you fucking SE apologist white knights (you know who the hell you are) said SE was dumping their IOS bullshit? Is this the future of your company?

Yes. Please continue to shit all over one of the greatest games ever to come out of SE. I refuse to call it a franchise, as Tactics Advance was not in the same vein as FFT (not saying I dislike them; I actually liked A2).

Edit: To reference, I bought 5 copies of TT. Fucking Five. The original, another original when I played my first one so much that it fucking broke. I then bought 2 greatest hits versions for 20 bucks, knowing that I'd want to keep a spare just in case I broke another one, because the game is that damned good. I then bought the digital version on the PS3. That's a good bit of money from a single person. Imagine how much more I'd spend for a true sequel?

Fuck you, SE.

Thanks, Obama.

I don't care how many Moogles are in the logo, I'm not touching it.

When is the FFT update for smart phones supposed to land anyways? Shit was looking nice with touched up tile/sprite textures.

Twice on PSX, once for iOS, 2x UMD and 1x PSN.

What confuses me is I thought SE said they were done with social gaming and they were going back to focusing on their foundation.

It is very possible that this game was almost finished (or completely done) by the time they made that decision. They probably want to at least get money out of the effort they had already put into it.

If only they had any idea that this kind of rampant bullshit damages the brand just as much as a major, main-numbered flop.

All frowning, just like the community.

They want money, but they don't want to really work for it. That simple really, the only thing SE are doing wrong is being so fucking obvious about it.

[Necronus]

I play exactly one Mobage game, for free, and manage to get a decent amount enjoyment out of it, mainly at work. I've tried virtually every other game they have (free currency, etc, etc) and they are all very unplayable ... like a million times more grind and absolutely no progress without dumping in tons of real cash into a rigged slot machine. So as far as I'm concerned they're batting 1 out of 100 and that one tolerable one is still not even worthy of being called a good game and is still just a sinkhole of RL cash tax for the people in the top tier.

Edit: I also can't blame SE .... its mobile gamers that are setting a horrible precedent. Not willing to buy $60 console titles which end up losing millions for the AAA companies ... but will shell out thousands pf dollars over a few months for what are effectively "clock accelerators" or slot machine mechanics or p2w boosts. Its simply mind boggling.

It really doesn't. None of us is going to remember this game in 2 years. The people who hated FFXIII will still bitch about it.

[miokomioko]

Maybe not this one specifically, but the whole 2012/2013 batch of mobile/social/cash-shop garbage is going to stick out as a dark time in the history of Final Fantasy.

This is pretty much my thought on why as well, regardless though to do this to FFT....god fucking damn it.

I collected alllll this cool Yoshida art and then these dickholes drop the ultimate dick bomb on everything fuck
