The Team Behind Bravely Default And Triangle Strategy Will Announce "Multiple" Games This Year

Bravely Strategy? Triangle Default? Octopath Strategy?

Liked all their games, especially Octopath.

Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it!

Probably something weirdly named, such as triangle traveller second.

@HammerGalladeBro you beat me to it

Mobile games mostly with maybe another Switch game thrown in.

Project Rectangle Action RPG (WORKING TITLE)
Rectangle Action RPG (FINAL TITLE)

I'm most excited for the names of these games.

I would love an Octopath that delves into what happened to the gods (aside from them testing for jobs) after they sealed you know who. The mythology of Octopath is very interesting.

Please be Chrono Cross Remastered...please be Chrono Cross Remastered...please be Chrono Cross Remastered...

I have no idea. Maybe something along the likes of Sea of Sars?

Whatever they will be, expect their working title to be their real title. I'm placing my bets on "Spherical Quester".

i trough they are working on the Dragon Quest 3 2D remake

Dragon Quest Builders 3? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

I'd like to see an action rpg with the HD2D looks.

This team makes the best games at SE.

I'm excited but fingers crossed that they are not mobile garbages like what Square Enix and Sega had done lately.

Spoiler, they will be mobile games...

I was going to write that I often look at their games but have never played any of them, but then I looked up and saw I did play and enjoyed Chrono Trigger.

I cannot imagine they will say anything that will interest me now though.

Can't wait to see what they have planned. Im a huge fan of the Bravely series, so a new entry would be welcome or even re-releases of the first 2 on the Switch would be great. I want to hear more news on the HD2D remake of DQ3 as well!

Lots of mobile games certainly?

So we get a Mortal Kombat style game collection of all three fighting each other simulation now...interesting..

FFVI HD-2D Remake or bust!

I predict… A bundle release of Bravely Default and Bravely Second, Bravely Second 2, and 4 More Heroes of Light.

What ever they are, you can be sure they will be good

Project circle triangle and project octagon octopus

I can't wait to play "Heroic Standard" and "Six-Character Roleplaying Game" sometime this year on a platform to be announced.

I especially can't wait to see the comments that say these are perfectly good names.

@Magician Yes Chrono Cross remaster

Or wait

Chrono Trigger HD-2D remake

How about that one.

Now granted, Chrono trigger has aged relatively well but we are also in the world where the first Dead Space is getting a remake that it doesn’t really need

@anoyonmus Personally, I have more affinity for Cross than Trigger, but I would gladly accept either. Last year we had rumors of Chrono Trigger getting the Trials of Mana Remake treatment and Chrono Cross getting an HD port to current platforms. So it'll be exciting to see if either happen.

I'd guess it's the mobile Bravely and Octopath games as well as a PC port for Triangle Strategy.

Ffs, its a no brainer....give them the Final Fantasy tactics already

I would guess maybe we would see the Sequel to Octopath traveler because they said they were going to make it. So i won't be surprised if it gets announced this year.

1) Chrono sequel/remake
2) Xenogears remake
3) Vagrant Story sequel/remake
4) FF6 remake (With graphics engine from the FF7 engine. Must bring Uematsu back to score!)
5) FF Tactics sequel/remake
6) Dew Prism/Threads of Fate sequel/remake
7) SaGa Frontier remake

For crying out loud bring back Bahamut Lagoon, Illusion of Gaia or Treasure Hunter G for all I care, but bring back/carry forward the classics!

@Magician let’s hope they are true.

@Ralizah I would enjoy this and definitely buy it, but I would rather they give 6 the remake it truly deserves and lavish it with the premium budget, graphics and attention they are giving to 7. They must contract Uematsu to score it though. The music in 7 Remake was not good. They had a treasure trove of some of the best video game music ever written at their disposal and threw it out in favor of generic western action blockbuster themes, and corny jazzy elevator music. Wasted potential.

@Grail_Quest We did get the SaGa Frontier HD port last year, with all the content that was cut from the original release.

@Grail_Quest I'm with you on these. It makes the most sense for multiple releases to take amazing games and apply their engine to it. I really hope so at least.

For the love of god Square! Please remake Final fantasy 6 and Chrono trigger with the HD-2D engine!

This is just ridiculous, these guys are definitely using some sort of generic JRPG generator app that just creates these pointless games.

These games are literally mobile phone games. Square is a joke at this point, I've purchased one of their games and that was DQ11.

Im not going to give them anything else because the lack of effort doesn't warrant it.

@Magician That's true, and it was a great premium edition remaster. I'm thrilled Square has shown some real love for SaGa over the past few years. But, I would still love a thorough remake of the game bringing the graphics into the modern era. Keep the colorful, creative, art style though!

wonderful more games that will take up a third of our sweet, sweet direct time. In all seriousness, this could be epic (old rpg remasters anyone?)

Looking forward to Final Decagon Alt Delete Quest Type D when it releases.

@Grail_Quest I can't sympathize. I was 90% very happy with VII Remake's OST, and one of the few new songs I didn't really like was the only new track actually composed by Uematsu, lol. Some of the new tracks have definitive FFXIII vibes to them, but considering the composers who did most of the new tracks primarily worked on the XIII trilogy, that's no real surprise.

C'mon, if nothing else, you have to admit that the game knocks pretty much every remixed theme from VII out of the park. And there's a large amount of remixed FFVII music in that game.

I'd absolutely love a bigger budget remake of VI, but I don't think it'll ever happen. Even an HD-2D remake probably won't happen. The most we can hope for, in all likelihood, is that they'll port over those Pixel Remasters onto consoles.

Considering FF is still Square-Enix's cash cow, you think they'd treat the series better. Putting aside VII Remake and the MMOs, the last good mainline game in the series released way back in 2006. VII R was a nice break from an almost unbroken string of mediocrity, but what we've seen of XVI doesn't bode well, IMO.

@Giancarlothomaz I am curious as to whether that is still getting worked on at all...
Still no word of a release date or what consoles it will be on.

Watch it be something like "BRAVELY DEFAULT NFTS"

@Ralizah Well, if you want XVI to be turn-based, then yeah it doesn't bode well, but if you don't really care what form the battle system itself takes, then it'll probably be a solid game. Yoshi P., the man who pretty much saved the series with XIV's recovery, is working as producer on XVI, and there's a chance that the game itself will have a solid vision, unlike XV which just floundered because of being stuck in development hell.

Also, I knew some of VII R's ost reminded me of 13's music, and I couldn't really put my finger onto why. I honestly enjoy it though, despite it not exactly being in VII's style. I really like the song for those Wraith creatures.

Octopath sequel is one of them

I would love to see a Bravely Third, with the original group back. I love Bravely Default 2, but I just love the original characters a lot.

@nessisonett that's exactly why I don't get excited about it.

@Ralizah agreed. I liked 13, bit didn't bother to play the 2 or 3 parts, because of the gameplay. I bought FFVII R on release day & was sorely disappointed that it wasn't turn based (i did a media blackout) & haven't made it passed the opening portion,,after the boss battle, but escaping the countdown is as far as I cared to play. Tried to go back recently & the HDR implementation was horrible & spending an hour trying to get it looking just acceptable made me abandon it again. I may try again if/when i find a ps5, if the upgrade is free, but still unsure. FF XVI is definitely not something that interests me, a fan who's favorite franchise was FF until the release of DQXI & persona 5, that made me realize that great AAA turn based games could still be created on newer generation consoles & didn't need to look photorealistic (i remember Squeenix claimed they were cost prohibitive, so they needed to make them appeal to the masses, ala not turn based, to be able to create FF games since they cost so much to make). I'm sure they gained a fan for everyone they lost, so they don't need me, but their abandoning gamers who supported them since day 1 makes it impossible for me to support them anymore. Turn based will still sell well, & they could have branched off the make the games they're making now without destroying what many of us loved about the series. Oh well...

Edit: sorry, i shouldn't have put all of that in a reply to ur comment, but once i got to venting, i wanted to get it all out 😝

@Gitface problaby PS5/PS4.

@VoidofLight I don't necessarily need turn-based. VII R did a great job of integrating real-time action while still having a turn-based party management element that gives the gameplay some depth.

So far, FFXVI's combat looks like something out of DMC. I wouldn't care if it was another spinoff, but it's just another demonstration that mainline has no identity whatsoever at this point. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never looked at Final Fantasy and thought: "You know what would improve this? If it controlled like a character action game."

An even bigger issue for me is that it seems to go a little too far in the dark fantasy direction for my liking, and I couldn't pick out a single interesting character design from any of the footage we've seen so far (which, admittedly, is not much).

It may or may not end up being a good game, but, so far, it doesn't look like it's going to give me what I want from a Final Fantasy game at all.

@twztid13 XIII remains my most hated game in the series to date, but I never had an issue with the music tbh.

Definitely give VII R another go someday. It's not turn-based, but it has a lot of the depth you'd get from a turn-based JRPG nonetheless. It's actually probably my favorite battle system in the series to date, and feels like a proper modern evolution of their classic turn-based combat.

With that said, I'm still a little dubious about the approach they're taking to remaking the game. FFVII Remake Part 1 works well because the Midgar arc is fairly linear and cinematic as is, but once you leave Midgar, the experience becomes much more exploratory, and that might be a struggle given the level of visual fidelity they're targeting with these games.

@Giancarlothomaz That has been my fear actually. That they are hashing out some kind of bull**** exclusivity deal with Sony…
Not putting it on the Switch though seems like it would be a huge missed opportunity as games like that are perfect for handheld.

Definitely hoping for a sequel to Octopath. Bravely looks too generic and Triangle is a strategy game :/

We do know that they're making the Dragon Quest III remake.

Even though it would make tons of sense, probably not a Final Fantasy V remake.

@GayusGayer
Cough cough, Chrono Trigger

@drewber2635
I don't remember if I read somewhere they were working on the 1st one to port to Switch. The music was nice, the characters were nice, the story was nice, the gameplay was nice, but that "repetition" killed it for me. I understand if they would have done it 1 time, but that was overkill padding.

@Ralizah
With the pixel remaster of 6 releasing on February and everyone expecting it on consoles, I don't think so.

@Grail_Quest
I'm going to assume you ate talking about 7R, because original 7 is ugly

@Specter_of-the_OLED honestly in my personal opinion based on what Square Enix is doing so far. I really want someone like Nintendo just buy them because seriously, I AM SO PISSED OFF AT WHAT THEY DID SO FAR.

1. Kingdom Hearts cloud debacle on Switch

2. NFTs

3. $70 PC ports ( and bad quality too)

4. poor marketing for NEO TWEWY

Octopath Traveler sequel hopefully.

Bring all the turn-based RPG goodness!

@jamesthemagi I'm not sure I understand, but if you are referencing my comment about hoping for a big budget FF6 remake, then yes, I'd like it to be on the same level as 7R, only with a better soundtrack. I know Hamauzu, the composer of 7R, (and 13) has his fans, but Final Fantasy just isn't the same without Uematsu on soundtrack duty. It might sound bombastic and epic now, but it has lost that special combination of wonder, mystery, grandeur, charm and loneliness that used to give the series its distinct feel. It hasn't been the same since he left.

They're developing a whole shape UNIVERSE: Circle Strategy, Square Strategy, Pentagon Strategy, Rhombus Strategy...
