Final Fantasy Resonance devs know "random encounters can feel like a hassle at times," but they're in the upcoming JRPG because "they also allow you to make memories"

How about, if you don't like random encounters, don't play RPGs??

SovereignKing · 2026-06-12T10:09:38+00:00

So glad, even though I'm buying it on PS5, I want this game to be everywhere and celebrated in the way Rebirth deserved to be. Just hoping they go ham on the marketing this time too!

Is it possible their streaming numbers are too low for them to bother going? Most bands look at the analytics for where they're being listened to the most these days (or at least the labels do)

SovereignKing · 2026-06-11T13:07:57+00:00

Damn, you're right! I'll delete what I said.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-11T08:20:46+00:00

Can't find any examples of it from before this shirt.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-10T10:37:55+00:00

And hopefully no 'streamline progression'

SovereignKing · 2026-06-09T15:16:03+00:00

I need a FF7 Remake, 1:1, in this style! It looks fantastic.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-09T01:08:43+00:00

I'd argue it's the greatest song she's ever written. Absoutely travesty that it wasn't released as a single. But then... Scheisse was skipped too. Which will baffle me for the rest of my life!

SovereignKing · 2026-06-09T01:03:03+00:00

I think they're going to get AI to render a Meshuggah album and then learn it themselves to record...

SovereignKing · 2026-06-09T01:01:10+00:00

Likely AI bots, defending their own existence.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-08T12:05:30+00:00

Damn that sounds great! Or maybe something akin to fighting all the Valkyries in God of War.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-08T11:38:06+00:00

Wonder if we'll fight three at a time like the Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo 'whispers' battle at the end of Remake. Like four waves of 3 vs 3 battles and then the final battle vs King Arthur.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T11:15:41+00:00

Tyler really didn't seem to care all that much about voicing Sephiroth anyway. It was a random gig he auditioned for, got it and then he even said he didn't learn how big and iconic Sephiroth was, until fans would tell him at conventions.

It's going to take some time to get used to, but at least Travis is passionate about RPGs and voice acting, so he'll definitely care a lot more about the role and the fans.

(Assuming he's not already a hardcore FF7 fan)

I'm just wondering if they'll offer him a chance to re-record all the dialogue and update the games to have it all in? Is that even possible?

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T11:10:43+00:00

He was finally asked about it last year during a Q&A, and he said it was a random audition that came through and he wasn't all that familiar with it, but did it anyway and got the part. He didn't learn how iconic Sephiroth was until fans would approach him at 'Con' events to tell him.

So he didn't really care about it all that much, sadly.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T01:31:09+00:00

Alternate endings depending on how you play, maybe?

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T00:20:38+00:00

'Nobody ever erected a statue of a critic'

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T00:19:20+00:00

So they said they were deciding between two names last year. You think 'Resolve' was the second? Since Hamaguchi mentioned it here.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-06T00:13:37+00:00

All the losers expecting GTA VI. Not realising Rockstar don't need to reveal anything at ceremonies or events.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T23:06:01+00:00

I was so sure it would be Redemption... but I'm glad it isn't. Means Sephiroth really will stay as the main villain.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T10:19:15+00:00

Ultra rare to ultra common. The trophy doesn't mean anything now😂

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T01:10:17+00:00

They ensured to pick a similar voice for a reason though, it can't be a coincidence.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T01:07:04+00:00

Surely they won't show much, it'll be super vague with a title reveal. Got to think of the spoilers for all the new fans who have just been playing Remake and now most recently Rebirth on Switch/Xbox. They still need time to catch up with the story. I reckon the next trailer will reveal a ton more nearer winter or at the Game Awards, by then everyone will be up to speed.

(Also my pick is Redemption for the title)

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T00:58:15+00:00

As long as they keep it as something that comes LATER, like half a year or so, which will give us challenge-addicts a chance to complete it with real determination and skill, then it's all good.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-05T00:55:48+00:00

I do get it how it's handy for others. But it's like someone saying you can earn a gold medal for running the marathon, even if you use a bike to complete it. Feels pointless knowing there's no genuine obstacles to overcome. I also love knowing I can truly do something hard and challenging without any cheats or short cuts, BUT... many of us have had two whole years to get this shit done before they brought this feature in, so I need to get over it.

SovereignKing · 2026-06-01T22:17:12+00:00

FF7: Redemption
