Sherack Nhar Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 There's no pressure within Square to develop another sequel in the Final Fantasy series right now. :rofl:AHAHAHA:lol:HAHHAHAH:lol:AHAAH! http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q1-2003/031303a.html Who are they kidding? If Square was to announce that they are never going to develop another Final Fantasy game ever again, they would definitely lose their monopolistic hold of the RPG market in Japan. They certainly aren't going to give up their main cash cow for no reason at all. Am I alone in this or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 "Right now" might mean "this month". What do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he went and got in his car things changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Maybe he has some sort of time stopping machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Well, because Square has such a "monopolistic hold" on the RPG market, they actually don't have any pressure to reveal all their plans in order to stay alive. Without a doubt, Square WILL have a FFXIII or equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natopo Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 And if they don't you'll probably be real mad, right Tie Guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breton Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 *sigh* How many times must I say this? The Final Fantasy series are not RPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Console-type RPGs are different from dungeon & dragons: you still play a role, but that role is predefined by the makers. The roleplay itself is predefined.

Tell that to the millions of people around the world who bought them. If i recall, FFX sold 2 million copies in Japan in the first week alone. They are THE role-playing games, as far as the world concerns, the standard for which every other console RPGs are measured by. Most of the world probably has no clue what Baulder's Gate or NWN is, but most gamers have heard of Final Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by that account, the Monkey Island games are RPGs, wich they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just conventions. They name a certain type of game so that gamers know what they can expect, that's all. If you only work by definition you could say that Deus Ex is an action-RPG-strategy-stealth-adventure game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You don't have experience, or levels, or regular stat-based battles anything else that traditionally comprise RPGs in Monkey Island. Besides, like Sherack said, genres are self-given. It's not like there is a list of requirements for every genre that games have to prove they qualify for before they are accepted for a certain one.
