Matsuno No Longer on FFXII
« on: August 02, 2005, 05:20:05 am »
Huh, can't believe I missed the news.  Apparently the man is a little crazy.  But you know what? With a track record of super awesome games (at least, imo), he gets a little license to be insane.

Actually, I hope he jumps ship from Squeenix and joins Mist Walker.  Mist Walker's games looked faboo at E3.

And yes, I'm still super eagerly awaiting FF12.  The game still sounds delicious.

I'm so buying that as soon as it appears at the game store in Japan Town.  >_>  I'm tired of waiting.  Awesomeness demands patience, but still.

This news is a surprise to me, though.  Typical.

I find your lack of rhythm disturbing.

I actually read that article, but was too lazy to post about it. Tongue

Regardless, I'm sure Matsuno has been with the project long enough to leave his mark on it, so I'm no less excited about it now than I was before.

IGN's got info about the new staff, if you're interested.  And they also mention that Matsuno is still taking a supervisory role of the project, and that the team is following his original vision.  So at the moment, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Smiley

-Surtur should also note, since it hasn't been noted here yet, that the Japanese release date has been announced, and that it is March 16, 2006.  Still awhile to go, grarrggh.

I guess everyone needs a good cry now and then.

Isn't that right, Surtur?

Hey!  You promised you wouldn't tell anyone about that!
...
I mean... I don't... what are you... I don't know what you're talking about.  

What are you talking about?

I don't know, because it doesn't make sense to me.  It's as though you're talking about something that happened to someone else who is not me.

-Surtur does not understand what this thing is about which you are talking.

Oh, so apparently Matsuno was sick of Surtur constantly crying.

Yep.  Blame falls squarely on Surtur. Way to go, man.  Way to go.

They kept shooting down my ideas!  I couldn't help it, dammit!  And they were good ideas, too.
Like, you know how Shadow Hearts II has that sidequest where you go around collecting gay porn so some jerk will make new dresses for you?  I said we should do something like that, only instead of gay porn, child porn.  
After that, people in the office just stopped talking to me altogether.  I mean, what the hell? Do people not like children anymore?
It's not fair is what it is.  I mean, here I am, just trying... just... just trying to... to think of new ways to... to enterta... to ent... oh... oh god.  Oh god.  Excuse me, I've... I've got something in my eyes.  Tears, I think.

-Surtur also couldn't stand how they refused to implement his recommended PMS system for Ashe.

You have been going on about the Personal Materia System for years.  Give it a rest, dude.  It's not going to happen.  Squeenix hates you and your ideas.

Well.  Then maybe I should take my business elsewhere.  I'm sure MistWalker would be interested in my "Specialized Tactical Demons" system.  They're these little monsters, with different abilities tailored to different situations.  You collect them in the game, and then trade 'em online!  It'll be like Pokemon.  Gotta catch 'em all!

-Surtur's already designed a couple - Hermes, and the Demonic reporter for the Demon News Network (DNN), Claire Media.

These "STDs" sound nasty. Do any of them cause painful discharge?

EDIT: Holy crap I just read the second article. Why is everyone moving away from turn based combat? If I wanted to play something real-time I would play CS or Warcraft or something, not a fucking RPG.

whaa?  Wow.  You know this has like, been the case since the Super NES games right? Active Time Battle and all?  FFX was like the exception recently.   Strictly turn-based games are few and far between.
