I'm interested in a 'Tales of' looking Final Fantasy.
But Nomura needs to stay away from Dragon Quest. Seriously. Belts everywhere.

Am I in 2000? His character designs didn't look belts for a long time now.
I'd take him over Fujishima who's lost his touch and style a couple of decades ago.

So basically just swapping character designers? Might be interesting.
Honestly people exaggerate the belt/zipper stuff. Sure, there's some wacky designs with the overuse of zippers and belts such as Lulu, Leon, Tidus and some Organization XIII members but otherwise he's been pretty tame.

Lulu is belts done right.

Who cares about character designers? Get working on a game with a Tales battlesystem, a Toriyama world, a Horii story and a Final Fantasy budget!

Toriyama world and Horii story for a collab game? Eh...no thanks,
I don't really think the more simple DQ style works well with a lot more story and character driven games like FF and Tales. I'd like to see SE and the Tales team work on a game, not so sure about including the DQ creators though.

I think Toriyama designed Tales characters would be interesting, as would Fujishima designed DQ characters. Nomura can sit this one out.
so i read this and go, please make this happen, and please just make it be itadaki street super edition... just an upgraded version of the dragon quest and final fantasy in itadaki street special with tales characters, tales inspired maps, and online play and I would be jumping for joy (and then crying as they likely wouldn't localize it despite the fact that if they did it would almost never leave my console for what ever they released it on ><)
either way I wouldn't mind seeing these guys experiment with each other... some of the best creations are made when trying to mix some things that shouldn't be mixed.

Hasn't stopped him from taking on more projects before.

The last time we had collaboration between the FF and DQ guys gave us Chrono Trigger but I am not sure what are they going to give us today given the shitty track record of Sqaure Enix as of late.
If he just does character designs, might not be a big deal.

They've already started!
Most Tales games look generic as fuck. At least Nomura has good days when he can make some pretty awesome character designs. And he's versatile. He can go from somewhat "realistic" anime style (Parasite Eve) to something slightly less realistic but still really good like Dissidia and to a fun cartoonier style like Kingdom Hearts, all of which look ways better than most Tales games.

No thank you.
And Toriyama? Really?
Oh well, it's not like he can shit up Tales stories that badly.

Last time this happened, we got Chrono Trigger. I would hope for a collaboration rather than a crossover because that much talent would bring something great. FF has fallen pretty far since then, but Tales and DQ are still fun (never played DQX but 9 was great.)
I don't expect it to happen but it could be really great.

social smartphone card game? why not!
Really not a big fan of the Tales of character designs. But it seems like they'd have fun with it, so it's not like I can complain too much. I'd certainly try it.
He wrote all of DBZ right? Not bad.

You know once they've ran Final Fantasy into the ground, they'll be coming for Dragon Quest next. It's the only other name SE has that's "big enough" for someone with the "stature" of Nomura / Kitase / (Not Akira) Toriyama to screw up next.
Yes... and no. I heard that Squaresoft people that worked on Chrono Trigger have mostly left the company, I believe, driven out by Wada and the like.
The vast majority of what made Chrono Trigger good -- Yuji Horii's writing, Akira Toriyama's character designs, etc -- is what makes Dragon Quest so good.

As long as the Tales battle system is nowhere in sight.

which one did you played? Tales of grace battle system is much better than ff13 . Every mainline tales have their own battle system .
And ff13 battle system is the only redeeming part of that game ..... :'(

I'm picturing a card game, something with random fanservice still frames out of FMV sequences.
Although, hey, a monster game (DQM meets FFM meets Tales of Monsters) would be fun, right?

I actually think Lightning would be a good fit for the Tales combat style. I feel like FF x Tales x DQ would be all over the place, though.

ff x tales can work. Imagine a game with tales combat , skits and ff budget and cg/animation.
somewhere out there triace is crying.

If it did happen, it would be a case of too many cooks. Besides, some of those franchises are hardly on peak form themselves right now.

The belts aren't that bad and I'd take that over tales of goku any day
That idea bums me out

Probably just gonna be Fortune Street with FF/DQ/Tales characters. Would kill for a game using the Tales engine using those 3 franchises characters
