Odd idea, but suddenly quite appealing: An HD-2D mainline Final Fantasy, with Naoki Ikushima and Yusaku Nakaaki on characters, and Yasunori Nishiki on music.

Finally, we've got the full lyrics for "Tsuki Wo Miteita - Moongazing", along with the official music release. And the translations... Oh my goodness, the feels... Haven't felt like this since "My Hands" and "1000 Words"...

I feel like a number of people are slightly in shock from what this game is, and what an emotional torture device the story can be. It seems to be selling well too, in Japan at least. EDIT: The whole "emotional torture" bit wasn't meant as a criticism, more as a statement of the overall mood...

One of the latest XVI screenshots shows a lot of Eikons. Below I spot Shiva, Garuda, Titan, Odin, Bahamut, Ramuh and Leviathan. (Note, each Eikon has a gold halo round their head.) Also, it's shown in the trailer, but there's a huge thing that looks suspiciously like a fusion of Phoenix and...

Calling it now, that's a load of rubbish. Even SQEX wouldn't do anything that silly.

Probably it'll be something like Clive has party-like allies, but only he's controllable and he has access to a party's worth of abilities through the Eikon powers. And it feels like the kind of story where Clive would be in mortal danger and those allies would stage a rescue, allowing the...

Meet Titan's dominant.

Also, really liking the design of Garuda's dominant. And we've got the staff list in all its glory. Like a Tactics/Vagrant Story reunion.

So not only battling summons, but we have wind with Garuda, lightning with Ramuh, fire with Phoenix, earth with Titan, Ice/Water with Shiva, and two non-elementals Bahamut and Odin. Plus Ifrit, who appears to be the protagonist wildcard. Also, did anyone else really enjoy seeing the summons...

Things you learn. Masato Yagi, who directed Rise of Mana and worked among other things as an event planner (writer, I think) for Code Age Commanders worked at some point on Versus XIII.

Just discovered the music of Code Age Commanders by Kumi Tanioka. Incredible!

Agree it's underwhelming overall, though nice fan service. But that swirling dodge was funny to see, and the "victory" pose was...oddly in character. Definitely feels like she would've been a ranged magic-heavy character. I wondered how they might make a playable Luna work without a total...

Update from Yoshida. Gotta say, I agree with his stance.

New trailer. Looks better. FEMALE PARTY MEMBER, YAY! And that final twist has me...interested.

That can be put down to greater awareness of the international market. It's become less sectarian over the years, especially so with the 8th and 9th console generations, where companies have to release it in as wide a market as is feasible and plausible to get a profit or at least break even on...

Wow, so it'll look incredible. And it's in British English, which will give it a older-style air than most other games manage. I always loved Xenoblade's British dub, made it feel more otherworldly than the same old American cast voicing these types of roles...again. Looking forward to XVI more...

But also, they've actually got the story set in stone, and the dub's done, and then they're getting the gameplay properly tacked down. YAY!

Tabata: 私はすでに精神的な後継者です。 Fans: 何!? SQEX: 興味ないね。 (P.S. I know I probably made a mistake in the Japanese, but I couldn't resist.)

Issues are fixed. And I've been watching some footage, so basically...seems to play like a faster version of Nioh without stamina management. And it was cool hearing the remixed FF battle theme in there. Won't say any more.
