It would also serve as a good form of marketing, something which the title could definitely use before it’s released if the studio wants to attract as many newcomers as possible. After all, they aren’t just trying to appease to their old fans, they are aiming to make this game as popular as possible.
We are sure that old school “Final Fantasy” fans are going to pay attention to this installment (whether they like it or not), but other gamers who haven’t heard of the games much may need more convincing before they decide to give it a try.
But this seems to be one of the main goals of the upcoming presentation that Square Enix will do at the Paris Games Week, as the studio will have an opportunity to meet with many gamers there and show them what their game will be all about.
Hopefully, we’re going to hear more about it in detail once the presentation is done, and we are curious to see how gamers will respond in their online discussions about the title. There will definitely be a lot to discuss after this presentation is over, that’s for sure, but it’s hard to predict what kind of tone those discussions are going to have and if gamers will be fond of what they see.
