Rumours have swirled around Square Enix supposedly linking up with Team Ninja to create aFinal Fantasyspin-off game that’s a bit Souls-y. And we may just see a reveal at this year’s E3 if we’re lucky. Count me intrigued.
Over the last few days, rumours have been flying overRedditandReseteraaround Team Ninja - Koei Tecmo’s development team behind the likes of Ninja Gaiden,Niohand (crucially) Final Fantasy’s fighting game spin-off Dissidia NT - hooking up with Square Enix to make this Final Fantasy spin-off.

The report also suggests the game may play like Nioh orDark Souls, but also be “more accessible for a wider audience”. All good with me, as ‘punishing’ can spill over into ‘aggressively unfun’.
The name “Final Fantasy Origin” is worth noting briefly, as “Final Fantasy Origins” is the name for Square Enix’s Playstation 1 compilation of FF1 and FF2. Either they’re taking things back to the old days, or it’s just a placeholder. My vote’s with the latter as it just seems a little too close to the PS1 collection.
If this Souls-like Final Fantasy game does arrive, I’m well up for it. Nioh’s combat is excellent and combined with FFs storytelling, it seems like a recipe for something very nice indeed. E3 isn’t far away now, so we’ll just have to wait and see if these rumours turn out to be true or false.
