Online DS title?

Sweet! World of Mana. Whether it's a DS title, Gamecube or for Revolution, I don't care! I just can't wait for the new Mana's in development.


What follows is a pre-emptive strike:

Let's not all forget so easily now that Square Enix has already announced a Secret of Mana for DS, and that Brownie Brown (owned by Nintendo) was recently hiring for a new 3D Mana project.

The time of assuming Sony as the platform for Square Enix projects is over.... well, atleast when it comes to Mana games now that Nintendo owns Brownie Brown (y'know, the majority of the team that created the originals we all know and love).

Hopefully they do a console secret of mana. It's time the series gets 128 bit treatment. And toss us a new Chrono while you're at it!

With any luck the reason for FFXII's delays is becuase they realized changing the battle system from an ATB derivitave to a very american style KOTOR ish battle system was a very poor decision. I mean correct me if I'm wrong but hasnt' the game not been shown since last years E3 at all, except in a few pictures and a couple videos ?

It is very likely that some major changes were made... I mean the game looked 70-80% done last year, last time I checked that final 20 % or so shouldn't take more then 4-5 months especially with there staff so huge. I gotta say I'm kind of glad for the wait though, it's been 4 years since any sort of real FF game has come out and you could almost say I miss it, so when this finally comes out it'll be a nice refreshing game for me.

good post, I agree with you.

This is what scares me... I don't want my FF to have a real time battle system...

i'm guessing they are still westernizing the art so that it'll be palletable for all those Xbox 2 fans! *runs*

THIS GAME NEEDS BIGGER NOSES AND BIGGER WASTELINES!

hmm, has it really been moved to Xbox 360?

The FFXI-like battle system was the game's biggest draw, to me, and I would hate for it to go and have the series return to the old ATB. Had the game been announced to use ATB from the start I would not have been miffed...but after having a glimpse at the series' evolution with the trailers, going back to the old battle system would be like a major step backward to appease a bunch of 4-bit game-design loving twats...I dunno...the game looks great and the reason for the delay that I'm hoping for is the addition of a full DVD-layer's worth of extra content. One can dream =)

Obviously he's kidding, since we all know it's actually been canned! :lol

I refuse to believe that >_<

you believe that?

A honourable japanese company would never develop for a western machine. They still remember Nagasaki!

:lol, they got Sakaguchi and a few other big names.

 

[bitwise]

ugh. anything but a Mana title.

 

[duckroll]

Sakaguchi isn't really Japanese anymore, he's lived in Hawaii for far too long. Okamoto is obviously pulling his old tricks again by telling MS they're developing a XBOX360 game while actually working on a PS3 title with their team. Mizuguchi is just a traitor, he will be punished. :lol

<Mizaguchi> Filthy Gaijin still buy games unlike honourable Japanese. What am I supposed to do? My children need panties and chocolate cake!

After a long day of studying, now that's funny :lol

 

[DCharlie]

"Mizuguchi is just a traitor, he will be punished."

he will be forced to play only PS3

 

[jarrod]

My bet's on World of Mana being a new PS2 spinoff (a la Legend of Mana) and DS getting a Secret of Mana remake.

What?

Nope, Square Enix's internal studios were the ones hiring. Brownie Brown wasn't the majority of any Seiken team, it was formed by just four people (two art directors, the main programmer and one of the event planners) from the SD3 and Legend of Mana teams. I do agree that Seiken on GCN is a possibility.
