Yeah, we already got FFV The After Years and it was fuckin' bizarre. Cid becomes Mother Brain and his grandson's a booty ghost.

Sing to me, O thread, of Brave Exvius. What the gently caress is this game? I have heard the word "gacha" associated with it, which means it's probably the worst game in the series.

Harrow posted:At least the Iron Golem you can fight in the Platinum Demo has tells so big they might as well be QTEs, so if that's true then Tabata clearly got overruled/convinced otherwise. Yeah I've seen videos of that, it's so telegraphed though that it looks almost like a training dummy to me. Hopefully you're right, from past Tabata game experience I think he should have been overruled a hell of a lot more on a lot of aspects in his previous games

Rirse posted:Adventure of Mana for the most part a faithful remake of the original GB game with 3D graphics with a new script, but added some quality of life features so it not just a better looking gameboy game. It has the ring system from Secret of Mana for equipping, along with three shortcut buttons to set weapons on, which is useful when you need to cross a gap with the whip and then want to go back to the sword. Forgot about this but thanks for the heads-up! Kinda glad they stuck more to FFA since I agree with you regarding Sword's ridiculous story. It's so god drat overwrought and trying way too hard to be clever and deep for a remake of a game where you ride a chocobo with robot legs.

Hopefully you're right, from past Tabata game experience I think he should have been overruled a hell of a lot more on a lot of aspects in his previous games If nothing else, they're also implementing Wait mode in FFXV. If you have it enabled, it freezes everything in combat whenever you're not actively inputting commands. You have a Wait meter that ticks down slowly so you have a limited amount of "freeze" time in each fight, but during wait mode you can issue orders to your other party members, queue up spells and actions, that kind of thing. I was surprised to see it but it looks like it might work pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YxUeraE_c8

Tabata is a manager. He's not the battle system maker, or the writer, or an animator, or musician. He's the coach of a basketball team, not the actual star player.

Now I won't be satisfied until I see FF15-2 is about Tabata's character-insert becoming star basketball player for the Insomnia Never-Dreams.

My main memories of Sword of Mana are A) some guy described me killing his mom after she turned into a soul-sucking murderbeast and killed a bunch of people as "for no reason" and B) AI for the secondary character that was so bad as to essentially not exist.

Sword of Mana is amazing in that it had all the elements of a good game without actually being one. The story in particular is mind-boggling, between making a character that dies in the first minute of FFA into a major character that survives the entire journey (and makes you wish he stayed dead) to Dark Lord, the main bad guy who ended up being a puppet for second-in-command and final boss Julius into a tragic misunderstood villain who's still an rear end in a top hat that has a random fling with a vampire and who we're supposed to sympathize with because...? And don't get me started on how God drat overwrought Amanda's death is, or how the isolation of the two main characters in FFA's ending is undercut in Sword by having like fifty loving people around. I just don't loving get that game. I blame Sword of Mana for essentially killing that series, even though the following three games were all differently bizarre and mediocre in their own unique ways.

Yeah I totally agree. Prior to Sword of Mana, the Mana games were generally well liked. Legend of Mana had faults but it was still a fun beat-em-up. But Sword of Mana just really off the rails. Also characters like Dark Lord and Amanda got bought up EVERY SCENE after they died as a reason for the characters to fight the evil. I think they do the big speach to Dark Lord about avenging their friends, he gets murdered by the Jester from SD3, and next fight they include him in the people they want to avenge!

A. Beaverhausen posted:Legend of Mana is not mediocre Sakurazuka posted:It also came out before Sword of Mana Legend of Mana is one of my all-time favorite games, though I think it caused Square to take the Mana series in a direction it shouldn't have gone. The three games I'm talking about are Children of Mana (dungeon crawler without any real story to speak of), Dawn of Mana (Pong: The RPG), and Heroes of Mana (DS RTS game yes really), though the only one of those I've played at length was Children. Children played functionally like a Mana game but doesn't really have the series' heart in it, Dawn took the gameplay into a really odd direction since there's no permanent character progression and you fight enemies by smacking them into other enemies, and Heroes...is a DS RTS game. One of these days I need to give all of those another try.

Children of Mana was just boring, there was nothing to it, no story or characters, no interesting items or skills, just running through randomly generated dungeons to level up so you could do more randomly generated dungeons for no reason.

Bigger tougher guys take more to freak out.
