...Is it just me, or do ALL those elements sound like a classic Final Fantasy?

"Secret Title"?

That's a horrible name for a game.

It certainly sounds like Final Fantasy to me.

Still better than Dream Drop Distance, or Duodecium Rolling Eyes

I hope it's Final Fantasy XV. It kind of sounds like a Shin Megami Tensei game, which would be an interesting direction for the series.

Otherwise, it might be Type-1, which wouldn't be bad either (especially if it's for the 3DS).

Duodecim. And what's wrong with latin word for "12"?

Yeah, it's really sounds like classic Final Fantasy. Hope it'll be FFXV, 'cause I miss all this fantasy stuff without any sci-fi elements. And with such title this sure gonna be something epic.

Art makes it look like an Ivalice title, and I wouldn't be surprised about another FF spinoff.

Because the name is Dissidia: Final Fantasy Duodecim 012 which means "Conflict: Final Fantasy 12". The game's latin name is absolutely incomprehensible to the average Joe, and just a horrible, horrible name.

Matsuno doesn't work with Square Enix, and in fact works at their largest competitor. Why would you think they'd use his series?

Totally sounds like a Final Fantasy title.

Though that begs the question of....which one?! FFXV? FFXIII-3? A new FF spin-off? There's no shortage of possibilities, guess it's time to wait for summer. Very Happy

Perhaps becuase they still own the rights to said series and location? Obviously I don't know the specifics, but considering Ivalice has only been featured in Square Enix titles, it wouldn't surprise me to learn they get dibs on the setting.

I was thinking spinoff as well... even a new Tactics game.

Can I be the first one to ask where the hell XIII versus is? Anime cry

On topic though: I think it would be great if we saw a new tactics game out of them.

Doesn't look much like a PS3 release to me. I'd be surprised if one of the major numbered FF games wasn't released for that platform.

It won't be Final Fantasy XV. It'll probably be a mobile or handheld game.

It's too early for a Type-0 sequel.

Maybe this one will become what the other FF's should have been. I think it's been going down hill since 10.
