 well hello guys today its a special final fantasy report of 2013  think all FF fan's will like it

2013 should have been a positive year for Final Fantasy. However, when she is about to be completed, I more than ever the feeling of swimming in a sea of ​​negativity. This last editorial of the year is my personal observation on the situation.



There is a trend against which all resistance now seems useless games for touch devices, including multiplication seems currently hold more ease than the original. A port of FFIV: The After Years out of nowhere and whose interest is still being sought, a Topological riding the wave Puzzle & Dragons, Final Fantasy Tactics S which S stands for social game for Japan, FFV and VI in smartphones smoothed versions whose appearance may cringe, Final Fantasy  Type-0 ... And, of course, this All The Bravest properly ashamed.

Simply, we must never forget to put these games in their place. They are witnesses to the obvious greed of their publisher, they are only parallel titles designed to occupy the land of fans who are impatient between two major outputs. The impression they monopolize the news is that they are necessarily smaller and easier to develop than large projects console. Personally, as they seem to me perfectly optional, I just ignore them. This is the day when there will be absolutely more than that it will worry. It was not yet the case in 2013.

Remember . After a long silence , Final Fantasy X HD is finally shown , it has even been joined by the X-2 and will be released in a few weeks with us . Lightning Returns came mark the conclusion of the FFXIII saga, at least in Japan , with beautiful universe ideas and gameplay unfortunately overshadowed by a catchy marketing (the game is even more successful than this). After the failure of its first release, Final Fantasy XIV has made ​​a triumphant return with A Realm Reborn, which sold over a million copies sold and a growing success . It will be next April the first FF on PlayStation 4 . And the elusive Final Fantasy Versus XIII is rematerialized in the guise of a Final Fantasy XV next generation remote indeed, but more exciting than ever . We even had encouraging news of Type -0 . All this is positive.

What has happened so that it does ensure that the negativity? E3 last June was a moment of grace for Final Fantasy , but it quickly faded as the beauty of the video was caught by ads that were really dreaming ... Communication Square Enix has lost somewhere , especially in the case of Lightning Returns. Having finished it recently, I confirmed my fears : the game that the marketing tried to sell us is not the one I played . This avalanche of costumes is a purely incidental element , and if you can get lost in their customization options, you can also ignore them altogether and enjoy the rest of the adventure, which is much less frivolous. Whether in the case of fan service seductive Lightning Returns or the nostalgic FFXIV 2.0, the result is the same : the games have much more to offer than these simple effusions . Simply difficult to demonstrate when the editor himself there as punishment .

However, the failed marketing can not be responsible for everything, especially when close to home , Square Enix France has organized a beautiful event . In fact, at the time of social networks where the fan is king, the slightest annoyance quickly turns into unspeakable tragedy . Odious ungrateful , violent reactions , sometimes without any setback. For each ad , we read on Facebook and Twitter plethora of whims and reducing exaggerations made ​​within the scope of immediate anger. I had spent my first editorial in 2013 on this subject, without thinking that it would become the leitmotif of the entire year. I like social networks because they allow exchange between fans , but I also have a holy horror as their format encourages the exacerbation of feelings, and this in both directions : for both mass celebrations that disproportionate for bad free spirit .
FF XIII lightning returns 
This air circulation for not much , this confluence of bad faith that banishes the discussion of certain subjects and automatic contempt are undoubtedly the product of the distorting prism of Internet 2.0. I do not think they reflect the zeitgeist . There are probably more reasonable people nobody seems to see it. This year has again proved me when I published my editorial on the legacy weighing FFVII , in response to comments that blindly demanding a remake of the game I feared the worst attacking me this myth , but I ' I was surprised by the enthusiasm and good spirit of the feedback I received by e -mail . When there are no comments or social network to invite all comers to spit his opinion, it shows much more recoil and courtesy. Because ultimately , we can worship a Final Fantasy without a hysterical naive, or hate without sending the entire series to the morgue.

One might think that the video game media , including the general sites , attempt to rise above this noise , but few are able to present information without outrageous implied. I have seen recently with the departure of Akihiko Yoshida, so interpreted in the manner of a drama sometimes believed read obituaries . When I took the trouble to write two additional news to explain that it was not cold with Square Enix and was always associated with the development of FFXIV and Bravely Default , look how Gameblog has reported. The writer, after giving me a lesson on the sources, even invented a quote or present in my news , or in the words of Yoshida in Famitsu . But he found a small formulation that look authentic and more dramatize the situation : the dream! Akihiko Yoshida imagine wandering aimlessly in the dark corridors of Square Enix ...

Difficult to rely on this kind of thirsty fanatic sensationalism to bring the most interesting and positive information. Hence the excessive media coverage of the unfortunate details of the measurements of Lightning or the errors of her wardrobe . Hence the general negativity focused on these accessories bad fan service with which Square Enix probably hoped to attract attention. That was enough for some sites to declare the death of Final Fantasy , although I must admit that after thirteen years to follow the news of the series, you get used to these statements to the punch . And I do not want to be naively optimistic : I've spent several editorials drifts that worry me . No teaser blaring , simply , which probably limited their appeal . Without seeing evil everywhere . Without generalizing .

Ultimately , what I remember from 2013, is the pleasure brought me games. Real Games , those developers have imagined. Whether discover and share new information, or I finally get into their adventures, it gave me a kind of satisfaction that could silence at least for a time , the relentless hubbub Internet . One tires quickly systematic lamentations , and I 've heard enough this broken record .
