Square Enix Teases Final Fantasy XII News That Will 'Make Fans Happy'

Perhaps it's a remake of the DS sequel to XII, Revenant Wings?

I know it's really unlikely but I'm hoping that maybe it means a remake/remaster of FFXII Revenant Wings

@Jenny_Jones @mookysam This is something that crossed my mind as well. Does seem like a jump, though.

@Jenny_Jones @mookysam that would be awesome even if it was just a PSN title

Unless that news is: Final Fantasy XII fans will finally get to play the superior Final Fantasy XIII trilogy on PS4, I don't care.

Seriously just put XIII on PS4 already.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I wasn't that keen on XIII, but I only played the first one. Were the other two games better than the first?

Gotta be Online service game add on with loot boxes.

@johncalmc never ever mention that trilogy

They misspelled VII.

I'd usually jump for joy for news of a pc port of a FF game, but to be honest, the last few have been bare bones ports at best, with more issues than they're worth, usually specifically targeting the exact reason why I'd want a game like this on PC in the first place. I'll stick to PS4 for my FF remasters.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I LIKED XIII-1 alot so im up for that

@Jenny_Jones I really enjoyed XIII as a whole. Loved the battle system. 13-2 is pretty good. It was fun trying to raise a monster companion with near god-like abilities & the story I enjoyed jumping through time fixing stuff.

13-3 was pretty average imo.

@Jenny_Jones I would be all over that. For me revenant wings is a better game than 12. I loved it

@kyleforrester87 and a awesome cup of noodles to wear on your head

Has to be Revenant Wings... what else does FFXII have? It's the one that ruined FF for a lot of people.

Crossover with Star Wars Battlefront II, where loot boxes drop and you can gamble on wearing Han Solo like a glove.

@Fight_Teza_Fight I loved the monster companion aspect! My trusty behemoth commando was awesomely powerful.

@mookysam om Switch or 3DS, then?

Although if Tropico 5 could be controlled with Dualshock 4, so could Revenant Wings, I suppose...

@Jenny_Jones in my book as someone who loved XIII to bits, it only went uphill from there, but by now I frankly have trouble treating the trilogy separately - it's one big epic (and progressively tragic although ultimately bittersweet) chronicle of a fantasy world. Including its... wait, here be spoilers, I guess.

Answering your question depends on what you didn't like personally. The emphasis on side quests and area exploration got bigger alright (to the extent where Lightning Returns bases STAT GRINDING entirely on quests - you don't earn experience or crystarium points there; LR also introduced relatively free roaming over four big locations). Most of the cast are unavailable outside their own DLC stories in XIII-2 (even Light is just briefly playable), but you can gain control of, develop and battle alongside all kinds of monsters. Amusingly, I hear that others in the cast like Lightning and Snow can be added to the party after doing their DLC stuff... in the same fashion as "monsters" Serah commands. XD XIII-2 also solves the first game's inability to swap leaders mid-battle, and does it automatically in case of KO, too (although only Serah and Noel can be leaders).

In general, I'd compare XIII-2 to a mix of Final Fantasy XIII, Chrono Trigger and Shin Megami Tensei (in some aspects, although the pokemonesque ones are more retrospectively reminiscent of WoFF that came out last year) while LR is pretty much 'Valkyrie Profile: Lightning' and actually encourages multiple playthroughs on NG+. The balance of light-hearted and solemn tips notably more towards the latter, especially if you compare it to X-2 which did feel like an adventure comedy for a couple chapters. In fact, while XIII-2 technically allows exploring several endings, the main one that sets up the cliffhanger for the final game is... okay, probably spoilers again. But darn, does it all thrill me to this day. XIII and its sequels are frankly the only FF games I not only would like to but eagerly HOPE to play through again someday. It's one of my top faves in the series beside VIII and IX.

@Bliquid no, I read it in my wet dreams first.

Vaan dies at the start of the game and you play as Fran.

If its a mobile phone game i will go after them.

It's almost certainly a PC version announcement and, sadly, not the revelation that Eruyt Village is a real place in Cheshire, England.

Port of the second game .... I know a guy

Probably a pc port.. but i would rather hear they are working on a remake of final fantasy 6

Final Fantasy XII-2? ^_^

I wish devs/publishers would stop teasing us! Rocksteady said something similar and that was over a month ago with no follow up.

A HD version of the amazing Ravenant Wings would be glorious! Or a FFVI remake!

@nhSnork @Fight_Teza_Fight it's been so long since I've played XIII that I can't really remember why I didn't like it. Next time they're in the sale I'll pick them up and give it another try!
