I just want to say i adore ff16's "Westaboo" aesthetic and unironically want a sequel.

if we can get a 10-2 and 13-2 then surely this one

16 is a closed book with no room before or after to make a story worth telling.

Counterpoint: 10-2 exists

The ending points of 10 and 16 really could not be any different in terms of scope for further stories in that world tbh

About 71% through 16's Main Campaign (even though i am well aware of how it ends just through viewing all the cutscenes before purchasing) and i still stand by what i said :colbert:

i am not kidding: i unironically want to see a sequel where either

A. The magic returns and the ramifications such an act would have on a generation untrained and largely inexperienced with it

B. The magic remains gone and we get to see what a Aether/Eikon-less society looks like from a Government
/Military context

Thinking about sequel potential:

FF1: Not really unless you want the warriors of light to return, which, ehhhh
FF2: Maybe Firion and Maria had a child or something. Soul of Rebirth was a decent look at the afterlife starring the dying characters, so I'll count it.
FF3: See FF1. XIVs crystal tower series serves as a pseudo sequel.
FF4: we got TAY.
FF5: Send Krile on an adventure and have her reunite with friends along the way. Decent potential.
FF6: arguably the best given the number of characters. Locke / Celes, Relm, Gau, and Terra as a human are all worthy plots.
FF7: are advent children and dirge of cerberus not enough??
FF8: the characters are all young enough to do a follow up but given it's like FF1 and they stopped the time loop you'd have to do a different type of conflict, wouldn't count on it.
FF9: Give good Kuja his own game. I think Zidane / Garnet wrapped up nicely.
FF10: got 10-2.
FF12: got Revenant Wings.
FF13: got 13-2 and Lightning Returns!
FF15: considering the ending you'd have to find entirely new characters in that world. Highly unlikely.
FF16: those kids at the end? Give em a story.

Basically your best bets are 5 and 6.

i also want a FFI-2 and feel like the Stranger of Paradise cast would be AMAZING in an "official" sequel.

I want a Final Fantasy game that is straight up set in the real world, no magic, no moogles, no Gilgamesh, it's just a bunch of ordinary people doing ordinary things, there's not even a plot, it's just a real life simulator. It's called Final Fantasy because you beat the game by buying a house, raising a family, and having enough money to retire.

this but unironically

I say let's hear him out

Was the Leviathan DLC good? I got the season pass but haven't got around to playing it yet

the best part about the new eikon is how you very clearly can see how the Dev is ex-capcom, as that is straight up just a Mega Buster :allears:

i don't give a poo poo bad the games are, it is absolutely ridiculous the FF13 trilogy has been virtually unobtainable on Sony consoles

i shouldn't have to buy a goddamn Xbox/Steam account just to satiate the completionist in me!

"I'd always known it through an objective standpoint, but through actually doing the job I came to realize keenly that art and politics really are intertwined. When you look at history, there were kings and court painters during the Renaissance and in Vel�zquez's time. It was only around the time of the Impressionists that people could draw art freely, and even though that's also true today, of course, art and society still have a strong connection."

"The Heisei era has ended and the new Reiwa era has started. I'm very interested in it as an individual. I myself may not have changed, but I wonder if it may trigger something for society as a whole. Even if you're not actively conscious of it, society ends up taking it in."

When asked about where he saw the LDP headed in the future, Amano responded, "I think that the things we take for granted are important to our society, like the roads we walk on and having police to protect us ... Those are things that citizens take for granted, but personally I'm very grateful for them."

holy poo poo he's a dark enlightenment guy
