I was listening to Trials of Mana's ost and its fucking great. The difference in quality between this and the Secret of Mana remake are hysterically different.

With DQ 11S, FF7R, and Trails of Mana, is Square on it's way on making decent games again?
No, these designs are gross and juvenile as fuck.
at least listen to the who ost before making that call.
SoM2 remake had some really good undated songs among the few duds.
DQ Literally can't suck because its Gameplay is extremely basic.
A come back? After Secret of Mana, FFXV, and KH3 fiasco they need at least 4 good games in a row.
We're well on our way. The World Ends With You 2 is happening and it's going to be kickass.
They need to remaster einhander. just touch up the graphics.
when they port the VP games to modern systems and make a Hrist game.
I don't know, DQ looks ugly as fuck because of Toriyama's "art" and FF is normalfag shit, Trials of Mana looks really fun though, that one I'll play
Toriyama art is sameface shit but it actually translates well into this game for some reason.
these designs are from the 90s retard. I take issue with the anime aesthetics in the remake though, I wish they textured everything to look like water colors ala Legend of Mana
FF15 royal edition is really fucking good. I was wise enough to wait for them to polish it.
Pretty obvious that the composer who did the music for the Secret of Mana remake was completely torn between recreating the music faithfully and trying to put their own spin on it and it suffers from it. It just ends up sounding so uncanny and wrong.
To make a comeback, you need first to be relevant. Square-Enix hasn't been relevant since Square went bankrupt and the merge happened.
This.
Call me when Xenogears gets a port to current systems and Brave Fencer Musashi gets a remake.
SE hired multiple composers
That's how cheap they were
Xeno series is nintendo now
ff15 is still a very technically impressive game.
That makes sense. Some of the music is actually not too bad plus the alternate versions of Danger and The Oracle that they didn't use despite being superior to the ones they used.
>DQ11
>Square
That's peak 80s and 90s fantasy, it's a throwback to the golden age of vidya.
Superior taste Deedlit poster.
throw octopath on the list too.
ToM's character models look really nice and more or less what I expected them to in 3D.
The environments on the other hand... Jesus Christ.
The original game's areas were pure eyecandy while those here might be some of the worst I've seen in years.
It looks like some first draft with placeholder assets, no lighting, effects, details or shading applied and I don't expect it to change in any way up until release.
People were shitting on stuff like Bloodstained but even that one looks miles better.
In fact, the whole game's visuals feel like it's running in MikuMikuDance.
Toriyama has a major sameface issue but his monster designs are some of the absolute best.
yeah the lighting/no watercolors is bad.
I think you find the enviorments underdesigned beacuse they are pretty much 1 to 1 ports, which makes it strange that they decided to include a Z axis. Might have been smarter to keep towns and overworld 1 to 1 but change up dungeons.
A Chrono Trigger remake like Trials would either be one of the most amazing things of the decade, or a complete shitshow.
Blame SE for the budget lol
I'd rather they remake it like Octopath and add some depth to the combat.
>I think you find the enviorments underdesigned beacuse they are pretty much 1 to 1 ports
Not only that but the texture quality is absolutely ridiculous for a 50$ game.
The mountains at the beginning of Duran's intro have to be seen to be believed and I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing initially started out as a mobile game.
Please stop, you're making me remember Dark Souls 2.
I haven't even started yet.
Also, what the fuck is up with Angela's evasion/jumping noise?
It sounds like a fucking squeaky toy.
>the improved FFXIII sequels come out
>IS SQUARE MAKING A COMEBACK?
>FFXIV A Realm Reborn
>IS SQUARE MAKING A COMEBACK?
>Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC
>IS SQUARE MAKING A COMEBACK?
GEE WIZ IT'S LIKE A WHOLE BRAND DOESN'T ACTUALLY GO RIGHT TO SHIT JUST BECAUSE OF A COUPLE SETBACKS, YA TORTANIC CHASING NIMRODS
FF14 is trash though
SOULLESS
>start with Kevin
>stars in the nightsky are moving in front of moon
Yeah, Squenix is back.
Just bought the ova and tv series collection because of the game on steam. Going to actually use my ps4 for something aka the only thing its good for. Movies.
>fantasy land
You do realize it's not Earth right?
It ain't Hot Shots, either.
>DQ11
>Square
>FF7R
>decent
you okay?
>"Squeenix is back"
>literally gave the dev team a small budget and told these saps to make it as soulful as possible
>still get posts on Yas Forums how soulless the game is
lmao
Is Adventures of Mana worth it?
>15 euros
damn
Mana is one good game. FF7 has some good stuff, but way too much bad stuff mixed in and is getting by on the battle system and the merits of the original story (that they don't fuck up). One and a half good remakes doesn't mean they're back, especially since there hasn't been a good FF game since IX, KH3 was beyond horrible, and their other series have been forgotten.
>The World Ends With You 2 is happening and it's going to be kickass.
So it's going to be completely different than the first?
You shut your whore mouth, squeaking Angela is peak cute.
EEEE
Please tell me those mountains just aren't finished loading.
i believe a chrono remake could be possible in this style, main problem would be how the towns are part of the world map and duo/triple techs
the way SE is doing shit now they wouldnt keep it turn based
>With DQ 11S, FF7R, and Trails of Mana, is Square on it's way on making decent games again?
Don't forget the SaGa series.
>Square-Enix hasn't been relevant since Square went bankrupt and the merge happened.
No matter how much you hate them they are relevant dumbass
It looks almost like PS2 game. They really could put more budget on it.
>i believe a chrono remake could be possible in this style
CT has some of the best sprite work ever. There's no way any 3D remake would do the art justice.
Nope, that's what it looks like.
Supposedly there was a big power struggle at Square Enix that's over now so they can just start making games.
I'm really hoping for a big budget DQXI style Chrono Trigger/Cross remake.
Yeah, that's about what I expect from modern SE.
well as long as the cunny looks fine
Low effort, low budget. They only had budget to make sure the classes had unique models, and also some postgame
I'm still going to play it and (hopefully) enjoy it though
Man, I want Valkyrie back
>they can just start making games.
Yeah, but are they capable of making good ones now without glaring flaws caused by poor decision making or gross incompetence?
Low budget doesn't necessarily mean low effort. It usually means less manpower to go around total and a lot more to do per person. Something has to give somewhere. Not that it really matters since all the player sees is the end product and "okay but think about the modeller/animator's feelings" isn't really worth much, either it's good or it's not.
One thing you have to keep in mind though is that the more money is poured in, the higher the sales expectations become in a limited market. The remake seems to be rough around the edges in favour of trying to make a strong impression on stuff like character models and central towns and the sort of stuff you're likely to see before buying the game.
Although it wouldn't have killed them to put more bushes there or something.
Said the maladjusted 500 pound whale with blue hair.
>FF7 remake
>they unironically rewrite the story for no reason
>ToM remake
>low as fuck budget
No, they are still incompetent
I know. That's what I was getting at.
Leave competently made mid-range games to us.
sounds like whale coping
