With the increasing likelihood of FF13-2 becoming a non-entity, the fact that the focus on this project has basically killed the momentum of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, and the high probability that this failure will prove economically stressful…do you think that this might be a good thing? For all of FF13’s issues, at least the narrative had a different perspective with Lightning and the gameplay was decent. FF13-2, aside from having almost literally NOTHING to do with
FF13, looks to be yet another FF7 knockoff. More emo J-pop leads that angst ad nauseum, waify pure girl that causes angst (although making her the antagonist IS fucking brilliant), and the same damn aesthetic choices we’ve always gotten. Do you think that this projects likely failure will get Square Enix to think outside the box again. I mean, I don’t want to go the Sonic Generations route and rehash FF6, that’d just create the same problem in a different way. I mean, come up with games as original now as FF6 and FF7 were then?
