[News] FFIV Sequel... yes for cell phones :/

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216571

Parasite Eve 3 anyone?

I think this is stupid. I dont want a sequel for any system. Just plain FFIV is good enough for me.

To quote someone from Neogaf:

Quote:

FYI:
I just vomited out of every orifice of my body when I saw that they were doing a sequel for FFIV which had the most satisfyingly closure-filled ending of any FF game ever.

I subseuquently shit out my entire intestinal tract upon seeing they were doing it as a mobile game.

Bad form Squeenix! >

Jam it back in, in the dark.

a sequel couldve been cool, if done right.. but not on a freaking cell phone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Final Fantasy IV THE AFTER - Return to the Moon (ファイナルファンタジーIV ジ　アフター: 月の帰還)
February 2008 for DoCoMo FOMA phones

So the game takes place an unspecified time after FFIV, with the main character being Theodore, a descendant of Cecil (and I'd assume Rosa). It will be an RPG, but there's no actual gameplay info yet. Obviously returning to the moon (which left the world's orbit at the end of FFIV with FuSuYa and Golbez on board) will be a major plot point.

I don't know what to feel right now! It's a sequel to FFIV, so I should be happy, but it's on mobile phones. This is like one of those situations where a genie gives you a wish, but you ask for it in slightly the wrong way and you end up with a solid gold head or something.

Most amazing jew boots

It's not like anyone here is even likely capable of playing it (unless you're weird and importing japanese phones) so it's nothing worth getting excited about at all. That and 99% of these Cell Phone games are laughably shit. God, one second I love SE, the next I fucking hate them. They milk their shit more than Nintendo these days, I swear.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

A sequel how??? The ending was THE END. Unless the next game was FuSoYa and Golbez's crazy space adventures, I can't see how they'd get a direct sequel out of this. I mean, I know the suits want to squeeze profits out of everything that was even remotely popular in Squeenix's stable, but this is really reaching.

I was speaking idiomatically.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nothing is wrong with Fusoya and Golvez's Amazing Adventures in space! It is all about the return of the giant space whale! XP

(I prefer them to do something with FFV, that game needs a lot of tweaking in storyline)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm calling shenanigans, as Theodore is both too gay and not nearly gay enough for a FF character's name.

Also why FF4. I.. why.

Because you'd collapse into nothingness if it was, say FFVI, that was getting remade or a sequel on a cellular phone platform.

Reasonable depiction of your reaction shortly before said event:


This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You're right, I'd probably just start openly crying or something.

Even still, FF6 has more room for an afterstory than FF4 does. There's the world that needs to be rebuilt and all that - FF4 tied up all the loose ends like a fairytale. Cecil becomes KING. what more do you want? jesus

It could've seen an Edge dating sim (even has loli with Rydia).

That's why they advanced it a few hundred years, so cecil's descendant could team up with the ninja-summoner of eblan and go dungeon crawling around all the old haunts to discover that Zemut, brother to Zemus has awakened and is out for revenge.

This is fucking ridiculous. It's like Square has decided all the old school players are already pissed off at them, so alienating them further just doesn't matter. If it was a port to a cel phone, I'd be less upset. But a sequel? I wonder if in this sequel we get to see Cecil completely abandon his character traits and become a Charlie's Angelesque parody of himself. Because that would be great.

FELIPE NO

cecil's character traits are gullability, guilt, lack of awareness for danger. Look, it was an early SNES title, characters didn't have personality back then!

That's retarded though because Cecil's son is out adventuring with a ton of old fogeys. Who the hell would want to do that? one, maybe two old farts per party roster please.

Theodore lol

There's a misconception that we rely only on Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, while these titles only make half of our business. It's just that people keep asking for new installments.

Who the fuck asked for this then?

"Do you know what'd be cool Yoichi Wada? A sequel to Final Fantasy IV! That would be SO COOL even COOLER than Final Fantasy X-2: THE REVENGE"
"We'll get right on it! For mobile phones"
"No Yoichi Wada I want it on a gaming machine!"
"Who said anything about it being A GAME?"
"Oh Yoichi Wada, hahahhahaha"

*Still frame, credits roll*

And I'm sure that a game where Kefka destroys the world & the plot along with it is any better?

That, and most of the characters don't have anything to do with the plot.

If you can't understand the main character then you don't get the game at all.

I understand Terra but don't sympathize with her a bit because it's not an exciting storyline often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Often? Well yeah, that's because it's an exciting storyline all the time! NON-STOP. It is like a record borgy, right round round round.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If the game had been about the War of the Magi instead of the years after that, I would have been glued. The plot itself seemed to be brewing into something big but it was destroyed along with the world in the snap of a finger.

Yeah, if only they could have gone to the moon. Would have been so much better.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Damn right it would have been better with a little moon exploring, perhaps a moon monster and some moon people who (moon)walk back and forth all day long outside their moon houses in a moon town. On the MOON.

I hope S-E's next RPG is set on the moon. I hope it's a Rad Racer game. That's the best kind of RPG.

This is actually not a bad idea.

RAD RACER: LUNA LAPS

FELIPE NO

2 things that are sad here:

1. People who hate FF4 are IN A THREAD ABOUT FF4.
2. People are saying how bad the sequel will be when absolutely nobody knows what the hell its going to be like. Maybe they are just mad it's for cell phones and are creating excuses to hate it so they can make themselves believe its bad to not get it.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I just wish Square-Enix would stop continuing stories for games that already had good endings. Not only are the sequels usually bad, but it kinda ruins the story of the original game too.
