You have to wonder how stat-building being so important in XII would be succeeded by having only two stats in FFXIII. Similarly, the sizeable stat matrix of FFXIV (the biggest seen in a FF to date) being succeeded by again only having two stats in FFXV. At least in the case of FFXII, it actually...

I can agree with this, but only on your stance of significance. Every FF that used ATB had a number of stats that all influenced battle. Let me use FFVII for example. There's 13 different stats that influence battle, with 3 of these being percentages. This is more than even FFXII. These were...

Tabata has said the battle system in FFXV is mostly based on Type-0, which outside magic, was also based on the two stats of Attack and Defense. FF needs to start building on the foundation of deep battle systems, not weak ones. ATB was deep in FFIV and if you check the status screens of any...

Skyrim has 18 different stats that operates as skills the player can level up. This many stats in one game is more than any FF ever created. Skyrim has shipped over 20 million worldwide as of January 2014. The highest selling Final fantasy is FFVII, with 11 million sold. Therefore, I think more...

Good observation. I thought both KH1 and KH2 had a very similar UI. Below is the UI from KH1. However, as you can see, there's a Status screen to see more info. However, when you go to this Status screen, you'll find that Sora has only 2 stats, just like the cast of FFXV. These two stats are...

Here comes the FFXV defense force. LOL! Sorry, but I don't want to start a war here. I just wanted to voice my opinion and that's that. I hope I didn't cause too much offense by dissing a game you're hyped for, but as somebody that values the RPG matrix, FFXV is now looking even more less...

Yes, that's the only saving grace right now. Hopefully, that is just a basic preview of the full list of stats which are hidden deeper in the UI. However, I've never seen a mainline FF game show stats in the main menu before now. This is what leads me to believe those are the real stats...

FFXII team are the only mainline team that still care about the RPG matrix in Final Fantasy games. This team will always be my favorite.

It's an unfortunate turn of events when story is viewed as so important in mainline FF that the developers no longer care about the RPG matrix enough to provide loads of different stats that influence battle and player customisation. This is my new gripe with FFXV. I know I said I wouldn't...

The irony is that both Yoshinori Kitase and Naoki Yoshida keeps name dropping FFXVI without journalists even asking about it. I think when they ask directly about FFXVI, they get no response. However, when they ask a question in a indirect way that hits FFXVI, they find that Kitase and Yoshida...

We don't know when FFXII HD started, so it could have been worked on in secret since around 2012, which is a year after FFX HD was announced. Therefore, it could be pretty far along. Also, the main art director of FFXII was Hideo Minaba, so they would likely have already contracted him by now to...

My new avatar is official artwork for FFXIV Heavensward by Akihiko Yoshida. Glad he's still working closely with BD5. Hope he's on FFXVI.

TGS 2016. Yes, that's next years event. I'm keeping my expectations in check.

He'll have to say something or just dodge the question completely. If he dodges the question, that will say a lot more than if he even bothered to answer it. LOL! The thing is they don't completely dodge the question. They answer it by saying he has his own team and planning his own project...

Of course you don't need to know him to be a JRPG fan. That's obvious. It's the same with how you don't need to know Shigeru Miyamoto to be a platformer fan, or know Yu Suzuki to be a fan of 3D fighting games. However, finding them out shows a willingness to pay homage to the roots of a genre...
