[Hudo]

Fucking finally.



Edit: I still think Schreier is a Goblin.

 

[nial]

This must be a remake, right? There is literally no way they are taking over 3 years for a FFVIII-tier remaster.

 

[Moridianae]

Summer Games Fest looking like a major skip this hear.

I guess we'll see these whenever Sony decides to do a Showcase with PS5 Pro(if that's the plan) because they usually market alongside Square and there wasn't anything at the SoP.

 

[Punished Miku]

They should just make a part 2 instead of the same game yet again.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

So bored of people posting this person who goes by the Japanese name for Green as everything they say being the gospel.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Summer Games Fest gonna be a snorefest this year.

 

[Hudo]

So bored of people posting this person who goes by the Japanese name for Green as everything they say being the gospel.

I have specifically mentioned Midori in the thread title so that people who think she's bullshitting don't accidentally click on the thread.


You're welcome.

Imagine the meltdowns here if Midori ends up having 100% rumor accuracy.

 

[Labadal]

Just give me the game on PC.

Played it on PS1, PSP, and emulated, but I'm still day one on PC.

 

[adamsapple]

Schreier redeemed ?

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Wasn't the PSP version of Tactics a Remaster, and considered the definitive version of it? (Genuinely asking)

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

I've been waiting for the GOAT's return, might even release this fall

 

[GHound]

Nobody actually keeps track of any of this well enough for me to care how accurate people say these people are.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Yes and no. It added a bunch of new content and a new translation, but the game had some significant performance issues. I think there was a fan patch that addressed some of those issues, if you're into that sorta thing. Personally, I prefer the PS1 original.

The previous rumors mentioned it not being anywhere as ambitious or radical as FFVII Remake. Best to keep expectations in check.
Maybe somewhere in between a remaster and a remake.

 

[Thabass]

Schreier redeemed ?

More like NVIDIA leak redeemed

 

[GHound]

In all fairness you can be "not anywhere as ambitious or radical as FFVII Remake" simply by not being a reimagining of a single game into an expanded trilogy of full length games.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Another overpriced lazy remaster...

 

[Northeastmonk]

Shadow drop it and I’ll be happy. I just want some QoL improvements that help the flow of the gameplay.

Well, FFVII Remake, despite its name, was more of a reimagining/reboot, rather than a conventional remake.
I'm assuming the rumor more so was referencing the AAA production values and budget of FFVII Remake, rather than the trilogy concept.

 

[Madflavor]

We are long overdue for a FFT Remake/Remaster or Sequel for that matter.

 

[Shifty1897]

This must be a remake, right? There is literally no way they are taking over 3 years for a FFVIII-tier remaster.

Maybe they're giving it the Tactics Ogre: Reborn treatment and overhauling some gameplay systems as well. Day One either way.

I was really worried this and SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered were chopped after all those mid tier games were cancelled. I guess SF2 still might be.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

There are two sequels technically. The Advance games have a very cheesy story but the gameplay is still there.

I know about FFTA and FFTA2, but to me they were never true sequels to FFT.

 

[Perfo]

Hopefully CBU3 is somehow behind the project. Also next they have to work on both FF17 and of course a spiritual successor so Vagrant Story.

Re;Confirmation Hudo

I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY

Question is: Is Matsuno involved?

She didn't post any other specifics, unfortunately.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Why bother with a remaster? Remake it.

 

[Minsc]

Over / under that this ends up being a port / remaster of the mobile port? Wouldn't be the first time...

 

[saintjules]

More like NVIDIA leak redeemed

Yup. Where's that thread of that list BTW? Needs to update.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Possible, or perhaps a HD-2D rebuild of some kind.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Here's some mock-up cover art I found.

 

[Killer8]

Hopefully it's as well made as the Tactics Ogre remaster.

 

[Labadal]

Hopefully it's as well made as the Tactics Ogre remaster.

Hopefully it is better. TOR is the worst version of the game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Would prefer a Crystal Chronicles Anthology instead. Or maybe just Bravely Default 3.

 

[Needlecrash]

Thank fuck the project is still ongoing. I'm hoping for mutliple improvements...

• Quick Save during battles
• Expand maximum party roster to 48 (instead of 16 in the original and 24 in WOTL)
• Music player
• Ability to replay previously cleared story battles
• Haptic feedback
• Voice acting
• Multi-player pvp and pve

 

[Needlecrash]

I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY

Question is: Is Matsuno involved?

Good Question. I wonder if his studio, Algebra Project is involved. However, I read one of his tweets a few months ago, stating he knows nothing about it.

 

[Hudo]

He also later tweeted that even if he knew about it, he couldn't say he did publicly as this would be for Square Enix to say.

 

[Needlecrash]

Hmmm. Good point. They'd be the developer and Square Enix obviously holds the IP. And Algebra Project would be under a NDA.

 

[Fabieter]

I hope we will also get tactics advance i actually preferred that over the psx title.

 

[Hudo]

I hope we will also get tactics advance i actually preferred that over the psx title.

I lowkey hope that they'll just include both games.

 

[Fabieter]

I lowkey hope that they'll just include both games.

Some kind of collection would be perfect but I think most people prefer the first one so it's probably not happening, but one can hope.

 

[near]

I wonder if this is being handled by Yoshi-P's Creative Studio 3.

 

[Hudo]

Who made Tactics Ogre Reborn? I'd reckon they'd task that team with that project as well and bring Matsuno on board again.

Algebra Factory handled most of Tactics Ogre Reborn, a company founded by Matsuno in 2016. I think you're right on the money to think they're going to be behind FFTR as well.

FFT is the second best final fantasy behind FF11

 

[near]

Algebra Factory is pretty much a one man team lead by Matsuno as a planning and scenario writing company. He was involved in an executive, supervisory role, as the original game designer, the actual programming was handled by some other company.

I speculate Creative Studio 3 since a lot of the remaining old guard from the Tactics and FF12 team are in this studio, and Yoshi-P is also a huge fan who has spoken about it before. There was also news recently that CS3 are working on two unannounced games, and considering they aren't a very large team and have recently launched FF16, with on-going support for FF14, my guess is that they have at least one smaller project in the pipeline, which could very well be this.
