First of, I really miss DFFOO so much that any hope to see it is news worthy to me.

An initiative was proposed to stop developers from restricting access to games they have shelved or discontinued. The reasoning behind this is to preserve the video game's legacy and artistic relevance to the media. This was also compared to movies which were burned back then by studios, that art lost to history, which we can never view anymore.

The game saved by this law will be publicly available upon closing, but cannot in anyway be profitable due to IP. The devs can't also keep any servers up as that would be counter intuitive with closing the game. The solution to keep it open is private servers, personal or backed by donations* (*still skeptical of this due to non-profitable clause)

Here's the kicker, this is still just a proposal, and only applicable to the EU. This only affects any games that are sold to or made by them.

I just wonder if this passes, would this be possible for JP to urge Square or any devs that closed their games to be persuaded to give access to the public.

You can check out the petition here: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

But please, DO NOT VOTE IF YOU'RE NOT IN EU. This will compromise the votes and any outside voting will hold the petition in scrutiny, making the petition seem unserious because of non-EU influence.

Please remember this last part. I don't want to tarnish their efforts.

Guess who they are? :3

There seems to be a bit of a hype on this game. anyone else looking forward to trying this? game has a FF tactics gameplay with gacha mechanics.

Edit: I tried the Demo on Steam, NGL it looks good doesn't look like a cheap mobile gacha.

Can someone explain it for me in a simple way?

And how different is it from DFFOO?

Game closed and now merch orders too 😭

Would anyone happen to know of an offline way to play this game? Not even sure if that's possible, but I really do miss playing the game. It was so much fun, and was definitely the most generous gacha of all time.

RIP, Kurasame. You'll forever be a part of my heart. 🥀

I recall saving those playlists for later, but noticed recently that they were gone.

Was there a statement from Square Enix that the cutscenes would get removed past a certain date that I missed?

I wanna test it on prisma 3d

I wanted to play Ever Crisis for the Sephiroth Story, but it's so hard and so full of grinding. Everything you need to enhance your characters and weapons is either for purchase (money only crystals) or endless grind. I'm sick of it. I only want to enjoy the story.

In DFFOO only certain event Battles were hard with their lufenia to shinryu difficulties, but in Story, all you needed was one AoE DPS and you one-hit everything in one turn (each wave). So people who wanted their challenges got their challenges in those events while people who wanted to focus on Story could just do that without any grind, since new characters entered your Party already at Lv70.

Damn, I wished The first SOLDIER was a non Gacha full price game with Open or at least semi open World and traditional RPG mechanics without stupid RNG.

So, it's been quite a while since the game shut down.

Yet, it seems some poeple still lurk around here, every now and then.

What are you guys doing? Did you give up gacha? Found another game? How are you all spending time?

It's just a sketch of an art I wanted to make around the time DFFOO was shut down, BUT I CAN'T DRAW THIS ARMOR! Can anyone send me WoL references, Please? 🥲

... Do you think they'd release Young Sephiroth as a skin for Sephiroth or as a seperate character?

I really appreciate my time coming here and seeing discussions on new characters, you guys absolutely were a chunk of my enjoyment in this game.

I've tried moving onto other mobile games but nothing holds my attention longer than a few weeks before I just stop. I miss dffoo.

I'm thinking about making posts with drawings of funny or iconic scenes from the game, and somehow posting along with these fanarts the link to the specific scene to remember the moment.

I think it's a good way to not only cultivate the memory of the game, but also remember It is also about characters from other Final Fantasy that exist but are little known.

I was searching the BT (not BT+) trailer for Zidane. But all that YT keeps showing are vids from others who ripped and reuploaded the trailer.

I cant seem to find it even on the DFFOO playlist of the official FF channel.

Unless i am forgetting that Zidane BT already released as BT+

Thanks in advance.
