Know what would be a great idea? A fighting game based on Final Fantasy characters
I actually had this thought over the weekend. I then shared said thought with a fellow Final Fantasy fan, who said, “It’s called Ehrgeiz.” And lo and behold, there is one. I was so excited that maybe I had a viable idea for the gaming industry. Turns out it was a good idea. It was such a good idea that someone went ahead and created the game. I read on Wikipedia that the PlayStation Network has the game available for download and purchase. I immediately switched on my console and hunted for the game, but I couldn’t find it. Further digging through the internet revealed that the game was released on Japan PSN only. Wikipedia could really use an edit, or at least a clarification.
So I have the game sitting in my Amazon wishlist. I’ll have to check it out, especially since I saw you can play as Zack. You can always hook, line, and sink me with that promise.
However, I did notice that the game was created back in 1998. There have been a few Final Fantasy games since then, so how about an update? Add in FFX, FFXII, some characters from the upcoming FFXIII, and of course, Crisis Core. Maybe I should write Squenix an e-mail…
