The new Dissidia arcade game allows you to play as Bartz and Squall. You can draw magic for ten minutes like the good old days. It's common for most Japanese mobile games to be playable on one hand in portrait mode due to their feature phone heritage. A lot of people tend to play on their feet or feign doing something productive like checking business emails while on public transportation. YIKES Stay Gooned posted:Möbius is that XIII style phone game correct? I'm curious about that. Mobius has a lot of FFXIII creative staff working on it. Toriyama is not attached to the project. Instead, the lead programmer of Lightning Returns is the 'project leader.' The game reuses a FFXIII art assets and shares similarities with with the FFXIII trilogy's battle system. It's on the Unity engine like many other Square-Enix mobile games. However, it's still a F2P game with a stamina gauge and a slot machine system for acquiring special equipment. All of Square-Enix's attempts to sell games a premium price in the paid app section, such as The World Ends With You for iOS, weren't very successful. The Mobius development team said they plan on bringing the game overseas. If Mobius is successful, we'll probably see more games of this console JRPG-F2P hybrid style by the company's Japanese developers. They're likely other games of this type in development already.

As long as they continue to make good console/PC games too then I don't care how many F2P mobile games they create.

The ideal would be that the 'easy' mobile money is used to fund more ambitious projects on consoles but I don't really know what insentive S-E would actually have to do that rather than just going easy mobile money 100% of the time.

Well, the simple answer is because everyone only has so much disposable time per day/week/month. In an ideal world for SE, everyone who has any interest in SE's mobile games would play them 100% of the time that they are willing to dedicate to mobile gaming. That would produce maximum mobile revenue, but that does not equate to maximum potential revenue that SE can make across the entire gaming industry. There is a separate market share of people who are not mobile gamers but will buy and play SE games on console/PC. There are also players who play both and divide their time between mobile and console/PC gaming. If SE wants to make the most money possible then they would aim to capture all of these kinds of gamers rather than only limit themselves to one type which is the least risky and most profitable at the time. Beyond that, diversifying one's business portfolio is wise advice which has remained true well beyond the age of anyone posting in this thread. SE would do well to understand and embrace that if they do not already.

The Dissidia games are kinda weird though as far as fighting games go because I probably put 100+ hours into the first two combined and never played it with another human being (As opposed to something like Street Fighter 4 where I basically only play it online) Though I guess maybe that's just down to the PSP not really having any online capabilities unless you want to try messing with that Ad Hoc stuff

How would you make a video LP of an RPG good? It's not like a horror game where you can scream a lot or CoD/LoL where you can talk about how great you are.

To make a good VLP of a JRPG you need to either do a lot od editing like Brainweasels FFXII LP or be really great at commentary .

It's basically already running on a PS4 and they've already ran side by sides of how it looks in arcades compared to PS4. The weird controller you use to play it is just a Dualshock 4 split into two pieces. It's going to get a port.

The only LP I ever read was of a super obscure SNES RPG that never got released outside Japan and the dude doing it was translating it on the fly, that was pretty cool. Can't remember what it was called though. It was way before LP's even got their own subforum.

I did a Chrono Trigger screenshot LP several years ago, and I did video for the bosses, and by the end I regretted it because it's really boring to watch. Yes, Crono used Luminaire for his sixth turn in a row.

Square-Enix released the outline of their results briefing with commentary by the CFO and the CEO: http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/ir/library/docs/150512/page01.html Here is some stuff that stood out in the commentary and slides: - Good performance all around but mobile games (Record Keeper/DQSL/Schoolgirl Strikers/Million Arthur) were singled out for their contribution to the results - Consoles are largely doing well in the West but mobile is performing well everywhere - Interested in VR/AR and have some plans on how to approach the market - Will grow and reboot existing IP. Plan on having them on both consoles and smart devices - Will create new IPs for next year in the form of games and publications - More collaborations with outside developers. It is not limited to Japanese developers (Sounds like what a lot of Western publishers did to grow from 2001-2009) - Longtail revenue for games on digital services is significantly contributing to sales figures - Serious about entering emerging geographical markets with the appropriate business model. Mobile for South America and F2P PC for Russia - Streaming services will be a cornerstone of business in the future - E3 will feature several announcements of new games - Star Ocean 5 and Dragon Quest Heroes II are described as reboots/ways of strengthening IPs - Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider slated for this Holiday - Rise of the Tomb Raider is no longer listed for the Xbox 360 for this Holiday. Will the 360 version be cancelled or just delayed? - Looking to approach new arcade games as an esport to generate growth and interest - Unlike Wada, Matsuda has tempered sales expectations of consoles games due to the depth of competition they will face this year and the next. Repeats that they also face stiff competition in mobile as well Overall, CEO Matsuda has been very humble about the company's tournabout, transparent about the growing pains of their mobile success, and continues to be conservative about sales forecasts of their console games. Learning from the mistakes of his predecessor? Sakurazuka posted:The ideal would be that the 'easy' mobile money is used to fund more ambitious projects on consoles but I don't really know what insentive S-E would actually have to do that rather than just going easy mobile money 100% of the time. Why throw good money after bad money? Their old guard of Japanese developers have largely failed to make console games that can compete in the current market. They take years to make games that are usually met with lukewarm or negative reception. Most of their attempts at creating ambitious games have largely underwhelmed consumers, been plagued by technical issues, or were stuck in development hell. It's not like they were chasing a dream since Skyrim and Dragon Age Inquisition on last gen hardware prove you can create large scale, well-produced RPGs within a reasonable development cycle. Many of the faces we see associated with FFXIV:ARR, FFXV, and KH3 are young lions out to prove themselves. If these new teams can't make the economics of big budget JRPGs work in the current market, then the company can always downsize their Japanese development teams and transition staff to mobile. They've already have had former handheld development staff successfully launch Schoolgirl Strikers which is a fact they keep parading in press releases and investor reports. The company still has Eidos to make AAA console games.

There's Rise of Mana which has been out for a while and seems like it would be good without the F2P stuff, it came out on Vita earlier this month in Japan. There's also that Secret of Mana iOS port that came out on Android earlier this year that would actually be better than the original if it wasn't at 30fps. There's been some vague mentions of that game's producer wanting to do something for the series' anniversary, kind of like the rumblings about a new SaGa game that were around shortly before the Vita SaGa game was announced. http://www.siliconera.com/2015/04/17/new-mana-game-may-works-series-25th-anniversary-next-year/

FFVII has a huge variety of weapons and fighting styles for its characters, but with the ATB system the only difference is the animation that's played when you tell them to attack. In my dreams there's a remake where Cloud, Tifa, and Barrett control like Devil May Cry, God Hand, and Vanquish.
