Sora96 17,256 Posted November 16, 2015 The 30th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series will occur in 2017. Here's how it's shaping up. The almost certain Dissidia - the arcade game should hit PS4 with even better graphics, more characters and stages, enhanced gameplay and a scenario. FFXIV 4.0 - A brand new expansion pack should be released for FFXIV. They might drop PS3 support here. Obviously they'll release other updates/patches too. Final Fantasy XV - "Game of the Year edition". They'll probably release a sort of GOTY edition with all the patches and DLC included. DLC is likely to carry over into 2016 judging by Tabata's comments on DLC. The likely Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster should be released on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One. If there's any life left in it, PlayStation Vita is also possible. It's possible they will include Motomu Toriyama's Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings in some form. The Lightning Saga could be released on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One. However this is also something that could also easily be released in 2016 or 2018. More mobile spin-offs: love them or hate them they make Square Enix a gigantic amount of money and that should continue with more games and more updates. More ports: Square Enix is always porting Final Fantasy games and this should continue. Think Final Fantasy III, IV, IV: TAY, V and VI on PlayStation 4. Final Fantasy VIII's PC version should also get more ports similar to VII, for iOS, Android & PlayStation 4. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster could make its way to Steam as well, maybe even iOS & Android. However keep in mind a lot of these could also easily be released in 2016 or 2018. Hiroyuki Ito's Final Fantasy XVI is likely to be announced. Ito could also pull a 'Fallout 4' but the man is a perfectionist so I'd expect it in 2018. The wildcards Final Fantasy VII Remake. It's of course the 20th anniversary of the original game and has been in development since Lightning Returns wrapped up. However we know how slow Nomura is and all his comments point towards it being further away. Another Motomu Toriyama directed title. It's always possible the highest selling director in Final Fantasy history and maybe even Square Enix history has another new Final Fantasy game coming not including his almost certain work on VII Remake. If X-3 is happening, it's his. Same can be said if they want to remake Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings in some way. Final Fantasy IV Interlude remake. Takashi Tokita could easily get Matrix Software to remake Interlude. This could easily happen in 2016 or 2018 as well though. HD remasters of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. Only FF titles from I-VIII not in HD and of course it's their 30th anniversaries in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The longshots Final Fantasy IX. It's a long shot to see a re-release of IX. We have no clue what state the game is in. If it's in the same state as VII & VIII there's likely zero chance of a re-release outside of emulation. If it's in a similar state to say X there's a chance of a HD remaster, but it would take awhile. Additionally, the staff needed are likely already busy on XII HD and XVI. Final Fantasy V & VI remakes. Long shots due to the staff needed being busy with other projects. You really need Kitase & Ito to remake these. Good luck with that right now. Random spin-off for consoles. They might have outsourced a spin-off for consoles like a Tactics but I'd say it's unlikely. You also don't want to fatigue people. Already got a console spin-off in 2016 and one in 2017. Maybe 2018. HD remaster of Dirge of Cerberus. It's possible, but I doubt they'd want to put too much into it. Maybe just make it 16:9 and 1080p and add trophies and put on the PS Store. Before Crisis & Crisis Core. As much as people would like these, Tabata has said he doesn't want to remaster Crisis Core and would rather do a full remake. Additionally, Tabata's very busy with XV, Type-0 Online and a brand new IP after XV. He also said he does not want another 3rd Birthday-Type-0 situation. 2 WakelessDream and MythrilMagician reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted November 16, 2015 2017 is also Kingdom Hearts' 15th anniversary. It might not be as big as it's older brother's anniversary, but it would still be cool to see what they will do for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aqua7KH 5,395 Posted November 16, 2015 Imagine if FFXV releases that day and Square was just lying to us saying its still in development when it's actually finished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Ellwell 5,487 Posted November 16, 2015 An HD CC would be cool, but a Reverant wings remake would be better. (Or just..you know...make FF7: Last Order..IN ENGLISH for once) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
