@nessisonett Tactics never released in the UK and EU sadly so that could have impacted it a bit, we did get the remaster War of the Lions on PSP but it was digital only
over here Tactics Advanced was much more popular of course that could be because we actually got that one
oh and FFXII Revenant Wings on the DS was also a pretty good tactical RPG, it was also the canon sequel to FFXII too
@naruball i dunno, i don't normally delete my digital games and to be honest i don't go looking for articles about games no longer available to download
just pointing out that not every digital game you buy can be redownloaded later
@nessisonett yeah i get that, i think it was a limitation of the PS2 sadly but Tidus is a Person of Colour, it's much easier to see in games like Dissidia NT for example and in the FFX cut scenes
@Porco there were 30 games on the list overall so XV being 10th is pretty high up, no where near bottom of the list
FULL LIST 1.Final Fantasy X (2001) 2.Final Fantasy VII (1997) 3.Final Fantasy VI (1994) 4.Final Fantasy IX (2000) 5.Final Fantasy XIV (2010~) 6.Final Fantasy V (1992) 7.Final Fantasy VIII (1999) 8.Final Fantasy IV (1991) 9.Final Fantasy XI (2002~) 10.Final Fantasy XV (2016) 11.Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) 12.Final Fantasy III (1990) 13.Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (2007) 14.Final Fantasy XIII (2009) 15.Final Fantasy XII (2006) 16.Final Fantasy Type-0 (2011) 17.Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (2003) 18.Final Fantasy II (1988) 19.Final Fantasy X-2 (2003) 20.Mobius Final Fantasy (2015~) 21.Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (2013) 22.Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (2003) 23.Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) 24.Final Fantasy (1987) 25.Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates (2007) 26.Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (2011) 27.Final Fantasy Adventure (1991) 28.Final Fantasy XIII-2 (2011) 29.Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (2009) 30.Final Fantasy Record Keeper (2014~)
@naruball that's not entirely true with digital games, i brought TMNT Turtles in Time Reshelled and when it was delisted i couldn't redownload it
at least with a physical version, even if it's used there is still a chance to get it once it's out of print but once a digital game is gone, it's gone for good, normally
@kyleforrester87 i wasn't saying it's because they are Japanese it just in that region more people tend to prefer their RPG's more like X than they do like XII
@HungryWolf as long as they don't adapt the -Will- audio drama because that sucks
and i say that as a huge FF fan, seriously they break up Tidus and Yuna, after everything they went through in X and X-2 and even bring back Sin because apparently now Summoners can resurrect the dead, it's dumb
(and yes i know they might be spoilers to some but it's so bad i don't want anyone to listen to it)
yeah but you're all forgetting one thing, this is a Japanese list by Japanese gamers and it's no secret that in the east when it comes to games peoples tastes are vastly different to here in the west so what appeals to us wont necessarily appeal to them and vice versa
OK so i might be overly optimistic here but what if this was brought back because of the rumoured PS5 backwards compatibility? it stands to reason that publishers would want as many games as possible on it to reach a new audience no?
@nessisonett i tend to switch it around a bit because i know at certain points you need certain characters but by the end game i tend to fall back into the original 3. Cloud, Tifa and Barrett
"We felt the point at which Red XIII joins the party in the story is very late on so we thought okay, if we’re gonna have him as a full character and try and get the player to enjoy his character development arc and growth as a character through that, it’s not really enough time to do that,"
makes sense to me, he will be fully playable in part 2 i imagine
@redd214 one of the reasons i don't game on P.C is because i work on a P.C all day and the last thing i want to do when i want to relax is sit in front of a P.C
and there is the cost too, i don't care if the P.C version of a game looks prettier than the console version because i'm still playing the same game at the end of the day and i can't justify all that extra cost on the latest tech just to have slightly better hair or grass physics
@Octane thing is they already have the system in place the BC games on XB1 use a emulator to run, yeah the Digital versions released on XBL require a re-license but if they have the software already built into the XB1 there really is no reason why putting any XB or 360 disc in shouldn't work too unless they are blocking them for some reason
@BarefootBowser true BUT all they really need to do is put a emulator in it so it can play any OGXB and 360 game, they don't need to be remastered or enhanced or anything

Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@nessisonett yeah for example FFII shouldn't be anywhere near that high, it is objectivity the worst of the series
not saying it's a bad game but a lot of it's game play elements are very frustrating
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@Porco hey everyone likes different things so i try not to judge, personally i really enjoyed my time with FFXV but there are certainly better ones

Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@nessisonett yeah but then again Tidus is 7th on the list and he is a POC
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@Judal27 i don't think it will, i think Square might have learnt their lesson on that one
Re: Sony Santa Monica Boss Shannon Studstill Leaves to Lead New Google Stadia Studio
what will she do next year when Stadia shuts down because no one is using it?
(JK.....kinda i wish her well but i still think Stadia is going to bomb)
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@Judal27 agreed
although being 10th out of 15 games is still pretty decent, it's in the middle 5 after all
i wonder which game was last on the list though?
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@Deadlyblack i know right how could people not the like it and it's the strange way of talking
but what do they the know hey?
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@HungryWolf as long as they don't have Tidus get blown up by a Blitzball with a bomb in it
(and yes that did happen)
Re: DuckTales: Remastered Returns to Digital Stores After Months of Downtime

Re: DuckTales: Remastered Returns to Digital Stores After Months of Downtime
@Genrou that's true, unless it was a package thing and all the licences were renewed
Re: Japan Says Final Fantasy X Is the Best Game in the Series
@kyleforrester87 i wasn't saying it's because they are Japanese it just in that region more people tend to prefer their RPG's more like X than they do like XII

yeah but you're all forgetting one thing, this is a Japanese list by Japanese gamers and it's no secret that in the east when it comes to games peoples tastes are vastly different to here in the west so what appeals to us wont necessarily appeal to them and vice versa
besides FFX is awesome anyway
Re: What Is Star Wars: Project Maverick?
no point getting excited, EA will probably can it and not tell anyone like they have with most of the other Star Wars games they were working on

Re: You Won't Be Able to Play as Red XIII in Final Fantasy VII Remake

Re: Free PS4 Theme Is an Extra Incentive to Download Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo
sweet plus i pre-ordered on Amazon so i'll also get a sweet Sephiroth theme too
now i'll just need to choose which on to use this one, the Sephiroth one of the one i got with the original 2015 PSN release of FFVII
Re: You Won't Be Able to Play as Red XIII in Final Fantasy VII Remake
"We felt the point at which Red XIII joins the party in the story is very late on so we thought okay, if we’re gonna have him as a full character and try and get the player to enjoy his character development arc and growth as a character through that, it’s not really enough time to do that,"
makes sense to me, he will be fully playable in part 2 i imagine

@redd214 that would be fine if it was an option
as long as it wasn't the ONLY option
Re: Sony Could Be Considering Wireless Charging for PS5 Controller
but doesn't the device have to be in contact with the charger in order to charge
then how can we play and charge at the same time?

love the game on the Wii U so yeah i'll pick it up
Re: Naughty Dog Director Leaves the Door Open to Making Another Uncharted Game
@JJ2 probably The Last of Us 2, i imagine it's all hands on deck for that game right now
Re: Naughty Dog Director Leaves the Door Open to Making Another Uncharted Game
big question is where would they take it after 4 had quite a good and resolute ending
@JJ2 they may not count that because it was originally going to be DLC for Uncharted 4 so it wasn't created with being a separate game in mind
it was still awesome though

Re: Horizon: Zero Dawn Listed for PC on Amazon France

Re: Don't Expect Any Next-Gen Exclusive Games from Square Enix in the Near Future
makes sense i suppose especially for FFVII Remake as it's a multi part release, best to keep all the parts on the same system
Re: Rumour: PS Plus March 2020 PS4 Games Leaked Early
@Matroska i think you're thinking of Sonic Boom, Sonic Forces was the one that came out after mania
it's not a bad game in terms of it's game play it's just a bit short, seriously some levels last less than a minute

@SoulsBourne128 yes it is
Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon's New Game Plus Mode Is Paid DLC in Japan After Being Included for Free in Past Titles
@GamingFan4Lyf
I can't help but feel like SEGA should have ported Shenmue to PS2 after the Dreamcast failed and then continued the series
they probably would have if XBOX hadn't brought the rights to Shenmue 2 at the time
Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon's New Game Plus Mode Is Paid DLC in Japan After Being Included for Free in Past Titles
this is as bad as Konami charging for save slots
the industry is going mad

Re: Xbox Series X Detailed as Sony Remains Completely Silent on PS5
@Octane thing is they already have the system in place the BC games on XB1 use a emulator to run, yeah the Digital versions released on XBL require a re-license but if they have the software already built into the XB1 there really is no reason why putting any XB or 360 disc in shouldn't work too unless they are blocking them for some reason

Re: Xbox Series X Detailed as Sony Remains Completely Silent on PS5
@BarefootBowser yeah i suppose so
of course if they made a premium version of the system with that i would buy it even if it was more expensive
Re: Xbox Series X Detailed as Sony Remains Completely Silent on PS5
@BarefootBowser true BUT all they really need to do is put a emulator in it so it can play any OGXB and 360 game, they don't need to be remastered or enhanced or anything
