there is a new RPG on the wii slated for 2011 called [strike]Final Fantasy[/strike] The Last Story
It looks like final fantasy, it smells like final fantasy, but does it have that final fantasy taste?
Well, the director is Hironobu Sakaguchi, you may know him from being the director and original concept behind final fantasy 1-6, the producer of final fantasy 7 and FFT, and the executive producer of final fantasy 8-X.
Oh and Nobuo Uematsu is doing the music
The game is supposed to be a "new form of RPG", and you play the role of a group of mercenaries on the island of Ruli.
there is a trailer too

Will definitely try if localized, the Wii's in dire need of good RPGs.
Wait, is it co-op?
Cuz if so, I blame Japan's Monster hunter syndrome.
Now all that needs to happen is get localised.
Xenoblade as well
I think it's competitive, like the multiplayer in golden sun.
Fuckin' seriously. What's next, Epic Epilogue?
But to be honest, the few opinions I have read of Xenoblade were so stelar that wether Last Story is good or bad has become irrelevant to me.

Throw me a PM if you add me
Now I'm disappointed that's not the case.
you don't fuck it all up by making just one after it literally saves your ass from extinction
Yes we know the story and that isn't the point of making fun of it. :P
Fixed!
yeah I kinda got that
just saying, you don't make Final Fantasy, save your company
and then make a new RPG with a completely different name
unless you like being bankrupt
Thing is, starting with 6 just about every Final Fantasy is a new RPG, but they give them the same name and throw in some Chocobos and Bahamut so that they can sell them all. It's a lack of confidence that they're capable of making huge titles. And, incidentally, why I don't hold Square in high regard whatsoever. Which is me putting it nicely.
At any rate, the guys working on this still have a lot of credibility as far as I'm concerned so this Last Story thing could turn out for the better. I actually have higher hopes for it.
they wouldn't do well financially
if it ain't broke, don't fix it
..come the fuck on.
SEE WHAT I MEAN?
Team Ico's built a good following based on who's made the games rather than the name. One of the selling points of Bayonetta was that it was from the dude responsible for DMC. Everyone was going nuts when David Jaffe said his next game was supposed to make the player cry.
There was a time when the brand mattered, but that time is quickly passing if it hasn't already.
Back to the topic at hand: Anyone else get the feeling this is going to be like Dragon Age had a threesome with an FF between 1-6 and Gears of war?
They all turn out to be the SAME FUCKING THING. This game shows me nothing that is unique about it what-so-ever. The name, the system, the style, everything is the same. I understand that like, it is being made by all the same dudes that made all the other Finals, but... fucking aye; can we TRY to be original?
My first FF game was 4, and then 6 and then 7. 7 really drove it home for me. The materia system was where that shit got hot. 8 was boring, 9 was kind of going back to the "roots" and it was decent, although I felt that I got too powerful too quick. X was kind of like 8 with all the story-mode shit going on, but I enjoyed the battle system because by that time I was a stoner and it made the game easier. After that I lost interest in FF because it just didn't change. I was already getting tired of the series after 7, but the thing that really ended it for me was X-2. What the hell were they thinking?
Now I am just ranting... but it's because this kind of shit is what makes me angry about the gaming arena. We need to innovate and produce quality games with different settings and systems. They got it right with Kingdom Hearts because the battle system was fresh and the setting was fucking amazing. They should do more shit like that. They have an awesome development team and they always just produce the same shit.
Shit. Fuck. Shit. Etc.
