What FF15 should be: A step in the Western direction

/suggesting that WRPGs aside from Bethesda games are open world, or that XII is open world.

XII's world is largely locked to your story progress. It's simply non-linear and has lots of exploration. Ie most FFs before X.


um...no . Only a few places are locked for story line reasons in FF 12.

Thats how you were able to go get the op spear after you first get Belias in FF 12. The only reason you'd want belias is fora boss you'd have to fight other than that, the area is completely open to you.

this is completely different from pre X FF who did lock you out of everywhere due to storyline.

that other post you made was spot on though.

also, many of your ideas are implemented in FF 11 and 14, TC

as grassy and others have pointed out, sanbox elements aren't exclusive to wrpgs. Interesting set up nonetheless, but pointless all the same.

i mean, what you described is radiata stories, ogre battle, and FF 11.

All of the Final Fantasy games are storylocked to an extent. Some slightly less than others.

So to reiterate. TC isn't a FInal Fantasy fan. He wants a series to turn into a boring sandbox where nothing but trophies and grinding occurs.


So to reiterate: You have no clue what you're talking about and obviously haven't read the post at all

I don't need to read your post. I know your kind. All you care about is grinding, and making up your own character and min/maxing them. You don't care at all for what makes Final Fantasy the series it is today.

Sorry, I tried to post pics but a pic is worth a thousand words. That exceeds the GameFAQs character limit.

Chips not really a troll. He just disagrees with your viewpoint. Most of the people in this thread disagree. We get what you are saying, but that ISN'T Final Fantasy.

Lets see

jRPGs/ERPGs
-Short bug eyed female characters with too much sex appeal
-horrible storylines
-jRPGs/ERPGs tries to force sex appeal on the gamers
-characters are too cartoony and squeaky voiced

WRPGs
-characters have real "human" build instead
-romances are an option
-voices aren't cartoony or squeaky
-more side quests
-free roaming and your decisions influences other characters

Sad for me to admit this, but I had so much more fun playing Fallout, Mass Effect, Demon's Souls, Dragon Age and Oblivion than when I played FF13, Record of Agarest War & Zero.

Oh, I got proof jRPGs/ERPGs tries to force sex appeal on the gamers, I got a mouse pad of a female character from Record of Agarest War with cushioned boobs.
