World map

[Ringlets]

A quick question:

What do you think they would make ingame world travelling like if they remade FFVII. Would it be the same as before, with a 200 foot tall cloud figure running around, or would they find a new (possibly linear way) to do it?

Whats it like in other, more recent final fantasy games?

[Allen Walker]

I expect they would probably do something like in FF10 or something, but make the paths longer. :/

Nah X was a fucking line. Just make it like Oblivion/Morrowind (which is like FFXI and XII without loading screens)

[ozonez]

Its would be very easy to make it out it was. But instead of a birds eye view, give a 3rd person view, update the graphics and done. Add a birds eye map view. The only problem would be the airships. Something revolutionary would have to be done for the airships.

What we need is. A open world. Not this XII crap where its open/limited. It all needs to be open. Hard to do but still doable.

That would be awesome. especially with advent children/ ps3 graphics.

Also, would you prefer the game to stay ATB style, or DOC style?

Go play Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and say that.

Also, would you prefer the game to stay ATB style, or DOC style?I rather them just give two or three ways to play it. Let us choose at the game start screen ATB, KH/CC, or ADB. Since I know everyone else want to play ATB except for me because then I'll just be playing through the same way I have been playing it since it came out. Just remove the instanced battles and have them like on the field like Chrono Trigger(not cross that was instanced) or random but take place on the same map like Parasite Eve/Crisis Core.

Im not that clued with KH/CC or ADB. Help?

ADB is FFXII's active dimension battle. Kingdom Hearts/ Crisis Core are action rpg's.

[Allen Walker]

I didnt like the FF10 world map either.

oh so you mean like actually being able to move the character?

Yeah, i think they should give us three battle systems to choose from. I personally don't want to go back and play it on ATB again. some other people do though.

i hate ATB.i really like the "phantasy star universe" approach to combat.
also the whole idea of having a massive, free-roam morrowind game would be awesome.

just realised. despite the massive fuss they made, the morrowind map was bigger then oblivions. it was just the lack of draw distance.

Much bigger and you didn't have to load to walk in a city (Oblivion had those gates).

I don't want Square to dump the ADB and the gambit system anytime soon. The more they use it the more they can improve it. So far we only have XII and R Wings using the system. FFIV ATB was trash but it got better over time, example X-2 has the best ATB system hands down. 1-3 used turn based and X improved(not as much as I would hope, they need to play D&D to have it down pact). Front mission used Turn-based strategy and now we have Tactics and Front Mission 5 doing much better things. All I am saying is the more they use something the better they can become with it. Don't dump the ADB.

i also wouldnt mind a remake to have more then 3 characters in one battle. doesnt make sense if your fighting safer sephiroth with only 3 people, when you have 8 at your disposal

That is why I only want 5 characters max (or have characters only for certain parts like II, IV, and V) in FFXIII. Just let me use them all in battle especially since they all are supposed to have "unique" roles in battle. This whole swap thing is just plan silly.

[Ringlets]

lol yea.

"oh noes a big scary dragon at the bottom of the pit i just fell into. dont worry. the rest of my party can absail down to help me in the blink of an eye"

if they did change the world map they'd have to put in more accesable vehicles. like clouds bike. at the end of midgar, he just left it. surely if you're travelling the whole world you dont want to walk

[Interficio Nocte]

I think they should make the game world like oblivion, all 3D and no loading screens.

[Megalixir]

FFX World Map system was gay. I liked FFVII's world map.

[Allen Walker]

As long as its not a map like FF12 or 10 I'll be happy.

[Ringlets]

Im re-playing the game at the moment, and what i would really like in a remake is voice acting. Some of the scenes arn't nearly as cool as they could be mainly because theres no emphasis or tone. However, i wouldnt like the Europe/US version to have the same voice actors as AC. Cloud didn't sound any where near as cool as he did in the Japanese version.

World map could also use a few more things. Doesnt make sense that no one else in the world is travelling. Be cool to find random traders or bandits along the road, or Shinra outposts near Midgar and Junon.

[KeanBurke]

yeah I didnt like the way you travel in final fantasy XII, if you didnt have teleport crystals youd have to walk through like 4 towns to get somewhere far. When you do have teleport crystals it teleports you to somewhere in the town you dont want to go. I like in final fantasies VII-IX where you can explore where ever the hell you want to and you can fly your airship to specific location. In the XII you have all these airships named after the summon monsters but you dont even get to use one of that, I thought at some point in the game i would actually be flying my own airship, that was so disappointing.

yh that pretty much sucked

freedom of exploration is more interesting ;)

[Ringlets]

Like oblivion. No limits. You can go anywhere without some random barrier. Like GTA. "oh theres um...a...huricane. Yea, huricane. You can't cross this bridge. You can however use helicopters"

[Misschoco]

what would be cool in a game is if you had a 3d mini map on the interface where you could click anywhere on it and teleport there

do they have that???????????

you mean like to Y axis as well as X? So up buildings and mountains? That would be awesome

Like Oblivion?

Anyway everyone already knows my support of a Oblivion like map. If I can't get that I would settle with an FFXI/XII map. XI is bigger then XII so the maps themselves take much longer to traverse. Bringing back the old not to scale map is something that shouldn't be accepted.
