I’m baffled why there’s still no Final Fantasy Musou
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date
I don't really like the main musou games but some of the spins off have interesting takes on the core game play, i especially like DQH1 for its tower defense RPG like style and Fire Emblem where you are require to switch up characters in battle to make use of the rock paper scissors tactics elements.
Zelda (and if i am not wrong, One piece and Gundum) play more like a traditional musou with IP fan services.
I do hope Persona 5 S is more like DQH /FE where they actually changes the core game play.
Xenoverse is what i wanted from a musou like game so i am ok with that.

Persona 5 and Musou is probably the perfect hate combo for people here
Nah the most baffling Musou crossover to not happen is Fairy Tail
It's such an easy fit (rocking music, large cast of characters, anime fanservice bullshit) that it's shocking that it hasn't happened.
DQH isn't a Musou. DQH1 is a weird hack n slash with tower defense elements, while DQH2 is straight up an action RPG
Same as above
(Also as someone recently going through DQH1, I'd really recommend the sequel. It is such a massive improvement in terms of gameplay, though the tower defense elements were removed if you liked that)
Uh all the games have higher difficulties. And all the games, even the PS2 ones, are supposed to be played on higher difficulties because there's usually special content that can only be unlocked by playing on them (like rare weapons, items, etc.)
I figured that they wanted to get Builders 2 out of the way first. I really hope a sequel hasn't been cancelled, DQH2 is so, so goddamn close to being an amazing ARPG (they just need to iron out some of the quirks like proficiency. They also need to add a real post-game to the sequel.)
The postgame definitely sucks (god is it grindy), but DQH2 is better in every other aspect, especially the gameplay. DQH1 is a tedious slog by comparison. All the loading screens and the slow paced battles are driving me nuts.

While Final Fantasy isn't at the top of my most wished Musou collab, it is and has been a blatantly obvious contender to make.
They always were. It's the absolute lowest form form of game design. Press attack button to win. It's boring and horrendously overplayed.
It's so boring that many people, including myself, will enjoy spending hundred of hours into these games.
I wish they made FF Musou instead of Dissidia NT. God, NT was such a horrible game and such a terrible followup for 012. :(
Doesn't mean you have to whine about Musou games existing in a thread about a theoretical Musou game.
They're still updating it as well so I can only assume it did considerably better in Japan
The best kind of garbage! MUSOU <3
It would be pretty boring if that's all these games were. Fortunately, they're not.
I'm certain SE is more protective FF than their other major IPs. That being said the blowback for a poorly received Final Fantasy title could be more detrimental to SEs bottom line than any other IP given how much they've spent developing and marketing their current FF titles. That being said, if done well I would be all over a Final Fantasy muso. Make the moves needlessly flashy, pay homage to the right character fighting styles, and put more effort into the game's level design than previous the average muso and you'd have a huge hit.
Surprisingly, it didn't do that well over there either. It sold slightly more in Japan than it did in the US, but it wasn't a hit by any measure - Square actually announced it was performing below expectations.
Pretty much why i stick mostly to main OT's.
My fave genre that ive spent countless hours in the various titles. Bring to me all of the crossovers i say. Fuck the haters.
I feel you. I can't get enough Musou and would gladly give them all a shot.
Same. I played (and absolutely loved) Fire Emblem Warriors without ever playing a FE game beforehand. Ill do the same for this Persona one coming out. Never played any of those games either.
Dragonball really doesn't fit the Musou format well since it's basically all about one on one fights.
Despite not caring about the series it's a spin off on, Hyrule Warriors was the only game of those I actually enjoyed...
A FF one would certainly perk up my interest but I'd be way too worried it'd go the way of FEW and just throw in like characters from 15 + 7 and call it a day

FF Musou would probably just import the Dissidia cast straight over, I imagine. Like half the work is already done.
Same. It's pure fan service. Characters and music that I love with boring-ass gameplay. For me, Announcing a franchise I love is getting a musou is like announcing it's getting a mobile game. But I acknowledge some people like them, so I'm happy for them.
LOTR musou is the only one I really want.
SE had the chance to make FF musou already and they decided to go with Dissidia instead

They should do:
FF
Star Wars
Berserk 2
Playstation All Stars musou (I want to play as Kratos and Sweet Tooth in a musou damn it. Kat as well.)

Wow you're totally right. It would make total sense too since basically almost all final fantasy characters have a melee weapon of some sort. So many characters to choose from too. I'd totally buy one.
There is a plethora of properties that could be used. Ive always said a He-Man/She-Ra or Thundercats musou would be awesome. Or how about something based on Arthurian Legend or Robin Hood?
They had Final Fantasy: Explorers which I absolutely adored. It was a little more basic than I hoped, but I was hoping a sequel would maybe add some depth. I think that's about as close as they've gotten? I guess it was more of a Monster Hunter/PSO knockoff than Musou.
Damn He Man would be awesome. I would play as Skeletor all day.
They can also do a musou about the crusades too if they wanted a real life setting. Playing as Salah Ad-Din or Richard could be really cool.
Honestly, I don't want one if they're just going to make Vaan the FF12 rep.
Me every time Vaan reps FF12 in a FF crossover game instead of Ashe:

a Kingdom Hearts Musou game would be better. think of that scene in KH2 and
the new one in KH3
Honestly there's like a good 30+ IPs I could namedrop off of the top of my head for a Musou wishlist. I just really enjoy the genre.
In a way, we already got a hilariously bad Final Fantasy Musou (Edit: or more like reverse Musou?) in some form a few years ago:
Except that instead of one fella clobbering a thousand enemies, it's a horde of heroes trying to clobber one or more enemies.

So that's why there's Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2 from the same company, right.
Different franchise that gets a different treatment from SE.
Give me a Star Wars Musou first, then we can hit FF. Give Dissidia a little more time to breath as the big console FF spin off.
