Im surprised its not XIII, considering how Square loved to ram that down our throats At this point 13's pretty much the body they buried out in the woods given it's the only non-MMO post-6 game that isn't available on PS4 and Switch. Man, that abrupt 180 about turning it into a franchise when Lightning Returns flopped was something else.

It makes sense as it's the most "cartoonish" of the series. I mean that as a compliment, really wish they'd go back to that style over "guy with spiky hair, guy with shorter spiky hair, guy with long spiky hair...maybe a female character idk".

This is actually an easy one to translate because Zidane being a kid. Very fantastical. Plus gonna sell some plush Vivis Zidane is 16. He's the second youngest FF main protagonist (Onion Knight/Luneth from FFIII doesn't have a definitive age, but he's younger), but still a teenager and only a year younger than Squall, Vaan, and Tidus.

I wonder if it's because FF13 and its sequels are relatively recent games or the Crystal Tools engine being a nightmare to deal with.
Lightning Returns is fun to play even if the story is a complete mess.

Couldn't ever finish 13, just ended up watching Spoony suffer through it. As for IX, it fits animated series more than most others and was a fun story that could be improved upon. Good choice.

I got 13 on xbox360 off eBay years ago and after I completed the first disc I put it back on eBay. Dreadful game. I hear it's supposed to be good after 25 hours when the game opens up, but f*** that wasting 25 hours to get to that. Final fantasy died to me after that.
I do wish they would go back to the style of the older ones like 9 but I guess its not to be.

I do wish they would go back to the style of the older ones like 9 but I guess its not to be. the number of hours when it gets good shifts dramatically when talking to people... 25 is like half as low as I usually hear it... and even then it's apparently like a 10 minute section at the very end of the game where you've undoubtedly already given up trying to even understand what the f*** is going on because the story is a mess, things are just said and you are expected to know what the hell they are talking about a lot of stuff contradicts itself makes little sense even if YOU KNOW what they are talking about and... some of the stuff just isn't even in the massive journal they expect you to read.... 13 was hold forward and hit X and you can pretty much beat the game...

I honestly have never gotten the love for IX (possibly because I played all the games it's a love letter to, so it doesn't particularly stand out and I found its flaws more apparent), but there is a vocal group that loves it so this unexpected development should make them happy. And yeah, you could make it *reasonably* kid-friendly as long as you deemphasize all the death and destruction that happens.
As far as 13 goes, for all else that can be said about it (I think it was an interesting *idea* for a story that was then told astonishingly badly), its combat system was interesting and innovative, like most combat systems Squeenix pumped out for quite awhile there.
