What would get you to purchase and play Final Fantasy 17?

>>717145942 (OP)
Something whimsical like FF9 and not the 50th final fantasy that is:
>super serious political fantasy and/or
>sci fi

>>717146106
What's the gameplay like though?

>>717145942 (OP)
FFV-style job system

>>717145942 (OP)
Female protagonist
6 was the best game and the protagonist was female

>>717146448
How do you feel about XIII?

>>717145942 (OP)
Four niggas in a row, stop getting "creative" with the combat
I want another true dieselpunk or cyberpunk setting
No more of this Ivalice high fantasy military larp shit, it's fucking boring now

>>717145942 (OP)
A fully controllable party again. Like in 7R, or like E33.
No more "control a single character, but keep talking about your allies" shit like 16, or like release 15 (before the DLCs added party control).
People expect a full party in a mainline Final Fantasy.

>>717146549
The same way I feel about every game after 10
shitty non canon fever dream

>>717146142
I personally love the gambit system from FF12 and I wish they did more with that system, so I guess an auto battle type game like that or xenoblade

1. It's on PC
2. My PC can run it

>>717145942 (OP)
An actually interesting setting.
Like VII to XIII were all really out there, fantastical settings you wouldn't see in any other game.
The modern world with magic and monsters of XV and standard medieval fantasy of XVI are just so boring by comparison.

>>717145942 (OP)
Get an actual writer this time.

>>717145942 (OP)
A further refinement of the battle system as seen in FF12, dungeon crawling, treasure hunting, monster hunting, at least five equipment slots, more spells than just Fire, Ice Lightning, all the real shit and classics.
And the Jobs of course.

Essentially FF7 Rebirth in overall structure.
Open-zone areas, refined hybrid system Turn-Based/ARPG combat centered around ATB, and an equipment system that can somehow surpass the materia system.
Also make absolutely sure to have the GOD-TIER chapter select hard mode Post-Game system. FF7 Rebirth's NG+ system has to be one of the best if not the best NG+ system in Video Game history.

The final boss and overall antagonist needs to be an ayy lmao again as well.

>>717146106
scifi is core FF, almost every game in the series has it sooner or later

>>717145942 (OP)
A competent developer who doesn't keep trying to make "Final Fantasy" games that aren't Final Fantasy

>>717146549
Nanaki would make a great protagonist

>>717145942 (OP)
Turn based fantasy game with cute girls, is it that hard?

Basically FF9-2 where they go back to the classic formula. Tired of them trying to modernize everything and failing hard.

>>717148682
Final Fantasy has had this boring urban chic thing for way to long. The worlds are not exotic enough. The science Fiction stuff in the past were mostly secrets in the games, not a baseline living conditions for every inhabitant on the planet. Things like cell phones, radio, television, aircraft, sneakers, guns all need to go because they are to close to our own world.
Final Fantasy hasn't done guns right since 7 and 8.

>>717146448
Locke isn't female tho

>>717145942 (OP)
A GOOD STORY LIKE IN FF SEVEN
that's all a game needs to be good

>>717145942 (OP)
it having a PSX FF aesthetic

>>717145942 (OP)
Unironically FFV/SOPFFO Job system

>>717146729
11 mogs your favorite game by the way.

>>717145942 (OP)
Make it an fps rpg like Cyberpunk or Fallout New Vegas.

>>717145942 (OP)
no amerimutt influences
I'd rather see gackt do pirouettes a 5th time than see niggers and faggots

>>717146549
Easily the best in the series. The trilogy should be required playing for anyone who owns a console or PC before they're allowed to play anything else

focus on being a good RPG instead of a bad action game with bad RPG elements

>>717145942 (OP)
Not made by Yoshida or his crappy dev team

>>717150245
The main character of 6 is Edgar

Writing that isn't shit
>>717152529
Kill yourself.

>>717152529
Not as good as XV, the actual best game in the series

>>717145942 (OP)
Go back to Amano as the main designer and give the male characters some ff4 armor

>>717145942 (OP)
TURN
BASED
NIGGAS
IN
A
ROW
and add the Cloudsea Djinn

>>717145942 (OP)
Dragon Age 1 but with jap/Berserk artstyle
harem of fuckable hebes
everything that would make the ethics department seethe and dilate

>>717145942 (OP)
Urban fantasy noir detective story in a massive city that's divided into semi-open world zones with FFX-like turn based systems.

>>717145942 (OP)
>Take the FF12 combat and job systems (from the fixed Zodiac Age version, not the half-assed OG), actionniggers can go choke on their stagger bars and die
>Fantasy-Medieval level setting, no modern or high sci-fi shit
>Simple story, no multiverse faggotry, excessive edginess, MUH REALISM or whatever garbage zoomers are into these days
>Big cast of playable characters you can swap in and out
>Big individual maps to do side content in but no open-world padding garbage

>>717145942 (OP)
>What would get you to purchase and play Final Fantasy 17?
Honestly just release it, and as long as its not catering to California, I'll buy it, real time combat, turn-based, or hybrid. I don't really care.

>>717145942 (OP)
give it the job system from FFXI, it's the best in the series
make it a proper strategy game, it can be realtime or full turns or it can be an SRPG with positioning like tactics idc

>>717155952
All they need is a party system, even if it's action people like to control different characters

>>717150674
>it was at that moment I was distracted by his dragoon's CHOICE ASS

>>717148339
My guess is 17 will use a revamped rebirth system, only that this time they are not tied to 7 world

Now is the time to subvert the audience's expectations and challenge what a final fantasy game should be! It should be a fashion-oriented open world gacha-lite moba with RPG elements set in modern day Paris France, but gayer and blacker!

>>717157379
This... So much this... It's all so tiresome... Thoughbeit... Skibbidy...

>>717151972
God, the western shit they shove in there feels so out of place
Japan catering to what they think the west wants has been disastrous

>>717145942 (OP)
Accurately portraying Amano's artstyle

>>717145942 (OP)
I never liked Final Fantasy so my suggestions would only make the franchise worse for fans but I'll explain anyway. The half-anime presentation in a time of high graphical fidelity just looks stupid to me. I don't want hyper realism or full cartoon aesthetic but I certainly don't want whatever the fuck you call the art style of 15 and 16. The visual fidelity is so high and so realistic but the way faces are modeled just look fucking alien and gross to me. Either do a high quality cel-shading or embrace the realism. Both is just disgusting to me. I also despise turn-based games and refuse to play them but taking the most prolific franchise that uses it and gutting it's turn-based features over multiple games just isn't right.
This growing bastardization of the franchise and it's most dominant features is not going to make me buy it. It's only going to lower my respect for it.
tl;dr
Nothing.

I'm sorry squeenix is catering to people like me, fellas. I didn't ask for it and wish they would stop.

>>717154395
> no modern or high sci-fi shit
So many excellent FFs had that though, at least as a small part of the setting
Or are you not counting jt if it's ancient/moon/otherworldly technology?

Based answer. Why can't more people realize that a game they don't like just isn't for them, and why can't developers also realize that and stop chasing them?

>>717158098
Yeah, when I mean modern or high sci-fi I'm talking about the 15 j-pop boyband current day aesthetic and whatever the fuck the 13 trilogy mess was

FF7R combat system, bit more of an open-ended world exploration structure without a checklist that requires using core FF magic spells to bypass world obstacles (haste, float, morph etc.) Along with a job system like FFV. Core amano artstyle that informs the world aesthetic.

They're getting there.
