I posted this in Reddit but I thought why not see what my favorite people think?

To be honest, I think the best thing that could happen to the series right now is if a small group of indie developers that haven't even become a "company" yet, were to make a game and bootleg it as "the next final fantasy."

*looks around* Where's Faustwolf when you need him? We have the technology, we can rebuild the series. Make it faster, stronger, better.

Why reboot Final Fantasy when we could make our own unique game, without ties to an existing franchise? Looking back through this thread... there are a ton of damn good ideas! And an indie game can't be C&Ded.

LET'S GET DOWN ON IT! (After I get internet again!) I'M READY LIKE... er... SPAGHETTI!

Why reboot Final Fantasy...

Because if we didn't, then I couldn't work in a Million Dollar Man reference

Though, for making the game, that could be fun, but to be realistic, we'd really need to hammer out engine, coders, and spriters first. Those are the things that there never seems to be enough of.

True. Without those essentials, I don't think the Compendium currently has the manpower to design another game. But it's nice to dream, and the possibility is now out there.

JRPGs are relatively simple technically, but very content heavy. You'd want a team that was biased (numerically) toward artists, then designers, then coders. This is not to say that their importance is in that (or any) order, but where the most hours of work will likely be.

Challenge accepted! XD
