Interesting News for People Who Enjoy Classic Final Fantasy

It sounds like Square is going to release FF1 and FF2 (which had only been available in Japan). Look here for news: http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2002/112502b.html

This should be super cool!

What can I say?

Hmm... pretty cool. Since they are improving the really old FF's maybe our hopes of a sequel to Final Fantasy VII isn't such a dream after all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Red, I doubt that they would do an actual sequel of any of the FFs. Just not Square's style; they like to make things new.

Larry, which one excited you more, the updated FF1 or the new (to Americans) FF2? I'm really excited about FF2, although I would relish a chance to play FF1 again with a mage of some kind this time. The first party I beat it with: 2 Fighters, a Thief, and a Blackbelt.

Ah I hate IGN! I went to an article about FFX-2 and there were heaps of pictures but they only allow you to view 2 or 3. After that you have to subscribe to IGNinsider and pay money! Bah..

FFVII-2 sounds very interesting..

Lord Starshadow · 12-23-2002, 07:35 PM

I always felt that the no-sequel style of FFs was one of its greatest features as a series. Also, it just so happens that FF7 was my least favorite out of the FFs, so I will not be crushed when FF7-II is not made.

Also, I'm not liking what they're doing for FFX-2. Why would they change a character like that? It's just beyond me.

You must admit, Yuna looks better now

. A good change is that the main character (Yuna) has two guns instead of the usual sword which lead characters normally have.

Um, sorry, but I don't think that's exactly a good change. While it's nice that the main character isn't wielding a sword, I certainly don't want to be seeing guns in my Final Fantasy. Sorry, but that just totally ruins the atmosphere for me.
