Hey, since Square Enix has been expanding to all the other areas of gameplay, do you think there might be a possibility of them going to RTS under the Final Fantasy name?

I don't mind the idea, actually.

The idea of overunning the enemy base with an entire legion of Chocobo Knights, or blowing the enemy up with waves of airships also appeals greatly...!
 
I think it would be a pretty good idea, I'd like to see them release it as a spin off from the series similar to what they did with Tactics. It would be pretty cool if they added heroes (similar to Warcraft 3).
 
I suppose so. They might have to get past the problem of Copyrights and stuff first though...

But still, the idea of having summons in the RTS too... Wow, its a wonder, nonetheless.. I wonder how will they go about it though, considering the level of graphics they work at now, i believe it will be a marvel.

I can't see a problem with copyrights considering a lot of RTS games these days have heroes. As long as they put there own spin on it and don't directly copy anyone else, I can't see how copy right would be an issue.

But I think that things like Chocobo's, airships, summons, Magic and everything else that makes Final fantasy what it is would fit very well in a RTS game if done well.
 
You have my full agreements on this! The only problem here now is when will they come up with this idea... Probably not until the trend in Japan turns to RTS...

So, what does everyone else have to say about this? I wonder.
 
Wasn't Revenant Wings for the DS sort of an RTS? I mean, it was, but not in the terms you guys are talking about, I think.

I didn't really like RW, but still, I think the idea of a well done RTS could go very far.

I mean, thinking in terms of commanding an army of classes nostalgic to the series could be a great deal of fun. And considering how much detail and etc. could be given to the gameplay, it could be a marvel if they made a modern RTS of the FF series.
 
Yeah, in a sense, it is. But on the DS...?

I was thinking of something more PC-related.. At least there's more room for powerful graphics. And more fast-paced too.
 
Oh for sure, PC would be a way better piece of equipment than something like the DS.

That was kind of my point, just because RW (for the DS) was really lacking on a lot of stuff.

And let's face it, RTS' in general are much easier to play when on the PC.
 
If they make an Strategy Final Fantasy I am sure that it will be a spin-off from FFVII where you will fight as Shin-Ra against Wutai and AVALANCE.Or against Genesis's copies.
 
FFXII's story would be perfect for a RTS spin off.

Chose a side, and fight the war leading upto the events of XII. Then with the "heroes" idea, you'll just get someone like Basch on the battlefield fighting along your guys and leading the charge.

Could even go into the final battle in Bahamut. You have ships attacking Bahamut, having to protect the Strahl so it can make a safe landing. Then destroy all the ships on the outside while Vaan and co. are inside fighting Vayne.
 
I can see FF doing this. Seeing a legion of Chocobo knights rushing into battle. Fleets of airships attacking enemy bases. Squads of black and white mages making patrol. This is totally posible.

I'm normally not an RTS person, but if Square made an RTS based on FF, I'd so play it.

I'd prefer something different instead of ANOTHER VII game. But I guess it could potentially work if it was a Shinra VS Wutai game. The idea of a game centred around AVALANCHE isn't very appealing to me and the thought of a game based around the Genesis Copies makes me want to vomit.

Setting it in XII's world would be a pretty good idea IMO, I think XII's setting would suit a RTS game alot better than VII's setting.

But if a FF RTS was ever released I'd want it to be a completely differant story set in a completely differant world and I wouldn't want it to be a 'numbered' game either.
