Over the last few years (probably more), people should more or less accept that when a Japanese developer starts teasing a new project, there’s a high chance it will be for mobile. I see this happen way too often and people set themselves up for some dream world where a magical AAA budget home console title is going to release whenever a developer in Japan posts something. The latest game to see some “hype" build up is Last Idea from Square Enix This was teased through a Twitter account and thanks to Gematsu, people should’ve just expected a mobile RPG. Watch the short teaser for it below:
Yes, the company that brought you Final Fantasy is now doing Last Idea. Details for it are sparse right now outside of a post from Dengeki Online in Japanese. This treasure hunting RPG with hack and slash combat is in development for a Spring 2019 release. The Hero is on the way to a castle before darkness envelopes everything and hordes of demons attack. There is a mysterious girl stuck in the castle who is about to be attacked by a monster. This is where the story begins.
More information including gameplay will be revealed on the official website and Twitter account for the game. Check out the website here. As with most Japanese mobile game announcements, there is no news on a localisation yet but I will post if there is news for a worldwide release.
Knowing the Switch exist,it’s a shame japanese devs have almost left what made them successfull,atleast we have the western devs and the indies to remind us of what gaming used to be.
Wonder what pop star they’ll use to sell IAP bundles for this game. I’ll probably pick it up if it is premium, though.
Got a hearty chuckle with that name! A "Last" Idea? Kind of like a 16th "Final" Fantasy? :D
Maybe they’re being completely literal and they’re just out of ideas for names of games?
I have learned so much from that trailer...
From most Asian trailers I got the impression that Asian audience is not interested in gameplay or even how does the game looks at all. The just like cool animations or sometimes even still image with vo over it.
So is this SQE's last idea? lmao. I'll get it 100% if it's premium but I think SQE stopped doing premium original mobile games.
Great name /s
