Final Fantasy Fighting Game Coming To PS4

@timmyp1982: Wow, I hadn't really considered WiiU emulation yet. I ended up playing the 2nd half of Xenoblade Chronicles (XC) on the Dolphin emu for higher res and convenient save states, not to mention saving on batteries from the wiimote. Even transferred my original wii save, though I grabbed the ROM because it was easier than using my disc. Even though my PC was beyond the reqs, the game still stuttered occasionally - though it wasn't​ that often.

That's really cool if you can change out the tracks for X on the emu. I agree that the field songs seemed pretty good, and remember liking the barracks song more than the shitty song... I mean city song :P I didn't get very far so I might look into to switching over to the emu since I just got a GTX 1080. What's the WIIU emulator you recommend, and is it easy to trade out the tracks?

I'm so stoked about Mitsuda doing the whole game for XC2 and didn't realize the contribution from ACE+ on XC until reading your previous comment and looking them up. It wasn't entirely clear earlier though, did Yoko work on the original XC, along with ACE+ and Mitsuda? If not when did the 3 all work together? Also, I have to mention Nobuo Uematsu as another great composer. He ended up finishing Mitsuda's work on Chrono Trigger after Mitsuda got so stressed from pressuring himself that he became ill. I think it still has a very distinct Mitsuda sound to it, especially with his intentional use of leitmotif (recurring melodic themes). I've started to realize that the music can make or break a game for me.

There was an article where Mitsuda said he was brought to tears after hearing how beautiful a choir sang for one of his new tracks for XC2. Sounds like powerful stuff.

PS: I'll have to learn more about Takahashi because I've always associated Hironobu Sakaguchi with the greatness of the classic FFs; although the director from FFXII / Tactics / Vagrant story took it in a great direction IMO. I wished they would have continued with the XII battle and exploration style instead of what they did with XIII and even XV. I thought FFXIV: ARR did good though.

PPS: I'm a little buzzed from beer, hence the long comment. I could talk about this stuff for hours. If only there were a Final Fantasy / Chrono / Xeno chat room out there...
