As much as the leakers confusing Dai from Jump Force for Erdrick in Smash and the cubivore pig for Minecraft stuff, pretty much zero. Tansut claimed the rep to have female alts, and Vergeben claimed he heard the Luminary along with Erdrick.
Erdrick is far more obscure in the West than Crono. If there was any confusion, it would be them thinking Erdrick was Crono, not the other way around.
The difference between Dai and Erdrick is that Dai is in a game with manga characters and Erdrick is supposed to be in the game with Mario and other video game giant. Erdrick and Chrono are also VERY much alike in design. Just look at SneakyLinks spoiler tag in case you want to get a good example of how much alike. Plus I know that Tansut has been right before with Square content, but they were never leaks revealed months ( I say months since we are more then likely not gonna hear who character 2 is until April) in advance so I wouldn't call it as confirmed as it can be like many seems to claim. Had he said last Tuesday that Erdrick would be revealed in the direct that was last Wednesday we just had, then that's a different question.
While certainly a good point, who isn't to say that (would Chrono be the Square character) that they saw him with an alt that is very reminiscent to Erdricks color scheme? Again, farfetched but considering how much alike they are...
I think while alike, someone can tell the difference due to the color of their hair unless colorblind (and I doubt all the sources share that trait) and that Crono uses a katana. You omitted the part where I mentioned that the leakers had mentioned stuff like the female alt (that is pictured in the SneakyLink spoiler tag) and the Luminary (Protag who looks like Android 17) being mentioned with him. Plus if everyone confused Crono with Erdrick, Crono wouldn't appear on the list of possible SE reps at all.
I get what you are saying but Erdrick and Chrono are very much more alike then Android 17 and Luminary. I don't believe that people have been mistaken either, but I just brought it up because lack of things to discuss and that this ride of who the supposed Square rep has been so weird that I at the same time wouldn't be so shocked if something like that has happened.
My comment about the direct was more an "if that would have happened and Erdrick had been revealed". Should have clarified that.
If true and something Chrono Trigger related is happening, holy ****ing ****.
There's nothing wrong with being skeptic, but we don't know exactly when Joker was decided to be presented at the Game Awards. A lot of this situation is pretty much wait and see at the moment, most of the difference is going to be how we take the info. Regarding Tansut, this situation is new considering the previous time but still, the thing he is backing right now is similar what he backed back then (plus Polar seemed to at least put a bit of weight to what he said). I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and think its likely that he is correct (not 100% though), you dont believe the same. And given past conversations nothing we can do until more info is revealed.
Uh, think I’m gonna need context bud.
Don't fotget its in-game name: "Punishment Cop"
I love the look on the right guy’s face. He’s just doing this for the paycheck.
Stupid sexy Joker
Eh? Didn't somebody say SE lost their original FF8 data and all that? How would they do a remake?
Yusuke pours his soul into his art he's probably taking it more seriously than anyone else. That is a look of sheer concentration
I'm just saying that, while only Sephiroth or Geno would make me pumped when it comes to the list, I would be happily surprised to see A Square Enix character at this point no matter who it is at the end of things. Call me a cynical skeptic, but there are too many things going on that I can trust leakers to the point that I think Square Enix reps is a lock in general.
DQ5 on DS or DQ8 on 3DS. 11 on Switch will be the best version once it's out.
Familiar question by now.
If he's got a 3DS, the remake of VIII is probably the best option. It's a solid version of a good game with a similar style of presentation to XI (3D graphics, voiced dialogue), so if it was interest in XI that prompted this, that's definitely the one you'd want to go for.
Yeah I know..Familiar question by now.
I just couldn't remember where it was asked last time so I decided to ask again because of it I admit. Btw this is simply to buy for my cousin just like how I bought the KH 3DS game for my sis which I mentioned earlier. I don't have the energy nor time to get myself into another series
I appreciate it
Like seriously, of all the company characters that's being speculated right now, the Square character has by far been the most interesting to even try and pin point on who it could be. There's been hints towards some characters but I do think the ones that have the chance at this point are Erdrick and Sora. Erdrick because of insiders/leaks, and Sora because no one hasn't really hard confirmed Erdrick, and Sora would be great way to just shock everybody who thought Draogon Quest, and the stats does fits his playstyle at least from what we've seen.
The best DQs are III, V, VIII and XI. III and V can be played on an emulator, VIII I suggest playing the PS2 version on an emulator (miles better than the 3DS one), and XI play it on the Switch. More features with a much better soundtrack (seriously, listening to the overworld and battle themes in MIDI gets old way too quick).
A remake is not a remaster or a port.
Ah yeah. Well, you might also base it on which one you can find. if they only use nintendo, 7 & 8 are on 3ds.Yeah I know..
But thanks y'all for the recommendation
That’s just Yusuke’s face all the time. He’s a weird one.
It's true that they can remake the game without the original assets, but that takes a lot longer, since there's always lots of that can be re-used to remake a game. Of course, sometimes the code is just such a mess that maybe they wont use all as much stuff.
Still best boy though.
The game being developed for new hardware demands changes to the code. It's impractical to do it if it's from the ground up.
Code is still code, it's re-usable when it's not 'attached' to some structure or the engine. Of course, that's assuming they're using the same language and that it's at least a bit object-oriented. I admit though I havent looked at game code that often, and what I saw in Brawl had me scratching my head sometimes. Very messy and could have a lot of problems.
The language is definitely different, given the changes to the engine and architecture used for the hardware.
An engine is still going to have a familiar language as base. New hardware doesnt mean new language. In example C++ is still widely used even with all the new stuff. It really depends what direction each company is going. I dont know enough specifically when it comes to SE to say anything more tho.The language is definitely different, given the changes to the architecture used for the hardware.
The code was made for a game with a different structure, battle system and space navigation. It wouldn't be of much use.
FFXII is good for what it is, but it feels a lot more of a spinoff than a traditional FF. And as someone who has played FFs from the beginning and seeing it evolve, its identity was kinda defined at that point. And XII would fit as a sub-series, kinda like FFT. In fact, it could be part of its own series with Vagrant Story. FFVIII's magic system permits you to customize your characters with a good versatility. It's not something that you use to attack, but more to determine affinity of your character towards certain elements, and prioritizing certain stats. It's very cool to see how the different party members can be change by using the magic associating with the coherent GFs. The level system is a controversial one, but I find it to have a very good concept. It's broken bc it only looks at Squall's level to determine the enemies' level, when it should take the levels of all party members into consideration. But the idea of a malleable difficulty for the game is awesome, bc the game never becomes too easy, as it is the case with 95% of RPGs once you are leveled up and murder everything in sight to the point of battles being more of a hindrance than a challenge. And every enemy in the game has a weakness to be exploited, so strategy is legit.
The thing that breaks the progression system is also the Cards. The idea of refining them into magic is awesome, but you have access to some powerful cards way too early in the game, which permits the low level run to be an absolute cakewalk. But other than that, the concept is actually smart and engaging. It just needed some minor tweaks.
Oh, and Triple Triad is one of the best card games ever created. That thing is freaking addicting.
At least FFXIII had a good soundtrack.
Yes, but as I stated before, the engine would be completely different, and the architecture would demand changes. While languages may stay the same, compilers and languages usually update, and using the standards used for 1998 might not be as useful for today's machines and softwares used.
