Square Enix teases “something different” for Agni’s Philosophy on “different platforms” in June next year
"It will not run only on PC!'
November 3, 2012 / 11:21 AM EDT / (@salromano)

Something “different” around Agni’s Philosophy, Square Enix’s next generation, Luminous Studio-based tech demo, will be revealed around June of next year (E3, we take it), Square Enix worldwide technology director Julien Merceron has teased. And whatever it is, it will run on “different platforms.”

“So, around June of next year, there will indeed be something different around Agni’s Philosophy, which will be presented on, perhaps, different platforms than those which have been used before,” Merceron told FFDream.

Asked if that meant it wouldn’t be running on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, Merceron teased, “I can tell you that it will not run only on PC!”

It is widely believed Sony and Microsoft will reveal their next generation consoles during or before next year’s E3.

Separately, Merceron touched a bit upon Final Fantasy Versus XIII. He said the team developing the title has “huge ambitions,” and that the moment it’s revealed, “people will be very happy to have been patient.”

    I would love Agni Philosphy to become the next FFXV

    hopefully the cast of characters aren’t as bad as FFXIII and we get back to the good ol’ final fantasy with world map, side quests, amazing stories , rpg-like battle system. Also get rid of the AK-47s…

      Heh..you didn’t like the abttle system in XIII? It wasn’t to bad to me. O_0

        It’s something not RPG-like. I have mixed feeling about it. 

        At the same time, it feel kinda awkward to access only 1 character and leave everything to AI – can’t say I like that. But the difficulty in accessing Paradigm, take turn to switch and deliver successful strategy to beat the enemy is quite amusing.

        Conclusion: Amusing, but somehow not enjoying.

      Another female lead in FF series? Count me in. 

      Forget about sword user, let magic user shine more. Summoner? Even better. Need some to outclass Garnet and Yuna anyway, lol.

           Barret, dat is all

        • Sevyne

           No there isn’t. A few of them have them and nothing is wrong with that.

          • Raiyu

            Doesn’t mean they belong in there. 

            • Bloodios

               That’s a matter of opinions…

              • Raiyu

                Of course it is. I never said otherwise.

                • Sevyne

                  You sure made it sound like you were stating a fact though and not an opinion.

                  There is nothing wrong with it. Liking it or not liking it is one thing, but you basically called it wrong to exist.

        • KingNigma

          There has been guns in almost every FF since VI. You act like having them would turn it into Call of Duty.

          • Raiyu

            No wonder IV is my favorite FF then.

            And I’m not acting like anything, all I said is I have a problem with guns in Final Fantasy game. Its as simple as that.

    • Kazziyan

      A lot of those are already in XIII-2 and even XIII, lol. But about the RPG-Like Battle system, that I don’t see happening anymore with the way Versus, LR, Type-0 have and will be. Though what defines a rpg-like battle system, really?

      • D3Seeker

        Those aren’t on the main series, They aren’t obligated to use the typical rpg battle system. You should know this. Now if you would have said based off XIIIs direction then yes, that seems to be the case.

        • Kazziyan

          That doesn’t matter.

    • Ludakriss

      xDDDDD AK-47s oh you. Nah but seriously, 13 was bad. 

    • Bloodios

      Oh, come now, guns and people being gunned to death in Final Fantasy is already yesterday news. If they were already there in previous titles, I don’t see why there shouldn’t be any in Agni’s Philosophy… Or perhaps you just don’t like real guns?

    Who wants to bet that Agni’s Philosophy cums out before Versus XIII? 

    • The Black Rabbit
