Naoki Yoshida, also known as Yoshi-P, the director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XVI, has expressed his desire for Square Enix to re-release two classic PlayStation 1 RPGs: Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics.
If they rerelease FFT, all I ask is the addition of an orchestrated soundtrack and improved summon load times.
If you like FFT check out Triangle Strategy. From the same Square studio that’s been doing these HD2D remakes. It has a lot of the same vibes but with some modern stat and environmental complexities.
They’ve been doing really great work. Their Dragon Quest III comes out next week with DQI+II next year. The president of Square hinted their next project is an HD2D Chrono Trigger. Which, needless to say, would be huge.
I played Triangle Strategy and for sure it’s a solid game. My only gripe is with the non-linear story, especially when I can’t convince the rest of my party to go along with my decision. Because of that I ended up losing interest halfway through the campaign unfortunately.
I recently uncovered my PSP which has my copy of FFTactics in it. I play every time I remember to charge the PSP. Sadly the screen is small and I am going blind. It would be nice to play it again on a large screen. (I am sure it is available somewhere. And one day I will find a copy)
I was in the same boat, but I recently discovered PPSSPP, a psp emulator that plays FFTWotL flawlessly.
Also the easiest way to play the PSP version with the combat slowdown fix, which is essential.
I have it on my PS TV, which I’ve been using to play some of my classics on my TV that doesn’t have room for big consoles.
I sure would love a modern, true sequel to Chrono Trigger. Probably unpopular, but maybe even a…gasp…MMO? (Let the beatings commence!)
