Expedition 33 proves Yoshitpiss destroyed Final Fantasy

I hope he will never be at peace again

I wish someone loved me as much as Barry loves FF

I do sincerely hope this is a wake up call for Square Enix to fire Naoki Yoshida. At least remove his permit to have interviews so he doesn't consistently rape himself in public.

Square Enix doesn't care about 2 million copies. BG3 is the only turd based game that SE cares about.

You probably only played hours and hours ff14 and you got obsessed with this faggot for some fucking reason

Most damaging is ps5 exclusivity and a remake divided in 3 parts. 16 lacked a party.
Pretty sure they will be fine just by making ff turn based next, japanese boomers are too out of touch and you are projecting your western malice onto them for some reason

look babe, Barry is having another melt down over Yoshi-P

tee hee hee, what a mentally ill loser

Before XIV this schizo used to be obsessed with Nomura. Even yoship quits he will just obsess over the new director. His real goal is to shitpost ff threads

He deserves the Abe treatment.

When is this board getting poster IDs or at least flags?

For schizos like op? It would help. I bet he also posted this

FF16 sold more than E33 on just 1 console in the same timeframe, it completely proves him right.

FF has been shitting the bed for 20 years thoughever...

Didn't Square make turn-based RPGs with Octopath?

FF died 20 years wtf are you talking about lmao

Yes, and

Romancing saga 2 got a great remake

SaGa Frontier 2 remastered with new content

SaGa Emerald Beyond

Octopath games

Supported Fantasian, a turn based game made by sakaguchi

DQ2HD with a new party member

FF9R turn based (not this is just leaker rumour)

Yet I bet you saw more threads about yoshida than about all those turn based games. Really makes you think, right?

The quality of the board would skyrocket, at least just by virtue of being immediately able to filter out schizos in threads. Especially for FF threads. Heck the xiv troons on 8kun had a fucking meltdown over IDs on the Anon Babble board. Sure can't figure out why.

Really gest the nogging going

file.png - 607x412, 324.46K

The schizo in 14 threads had the meltdown, most fags were comfy. Even if you checked gacha threads for pure curiosity you could see them celebrating their schizos unable to shitpost

He didn't break it, but he didn't even try to fix it.

Add Romancing SaGa 3 remake and apparently a remaster for another SaGa game that had a lot of criticism. There is also Fantasian Dimension sequel in the works.
Fantasian is really underrated

It's funny because every single interview he's given for the last year he's tried to come across as some genius creator but how he's appeared is the complete opposite. The icing on the cake was that interview where he doubled down on saying they didn't portray Wuk Lamat enough even though that shitcunt has the third most dialogue and lines in the entirety of the game condensed in a single expansion.
That and coupled with the fact he attacked the customer base for FF14 because they didn't want to accept Wuk Lamat.

None of those are Final Fantasy games and including FF9 when it's still only a rumour just shows how disingenuous you are.

reminder if you enjoy E33, but dislike other JRPGs like Final Fantasy.. YOU ARE RACIST

I agree with the other anon that's just another old boomer out of touch. The language barrier and bad (((western))) advisors doesn't help so a lot of nips fall for the scam. He saw XV and GOW being more popular than half of their turn based games so they tried that.
The good thing about FF is that they can experiment all they want, they'll probably go back to turn based at some point.
Even when a mid/bad action game trapped inside some shitty console sells 3 millions that should tell you the ip still has some value

wuk lmaoat sucks

Yep and it outsold Stillbirth and Shitsteen combined.

I thought you wanted TURN BASED games?

So how many hours did you play ff14?

Yes in Final Fantasy games. Why do you keep bringing up games that aren't Final Fantasy as some kind of "own" can you not read?

Again they just need to revoke his right to give interviews. Just have make powerpoint presentations with announcements and then lock him in his office or something.

Like seriously, how is this retard planning on doing any of this?

I wouldn't even allow him to make powerpoint presentations considering even those have come back to bite him in the ass.

Stop being so obsessed with interviews to get mad at.

Yoshitpiss and Nosalesmura need to be suicided by Amano.

Fantasian is really underrated

designed for mobile and lackluster chara design

I'll pass.

only vg needs it

That's it? That sounds like your typical apologizing mangaka
You faggots realize people just play or drop the game and only autistic schizos with a lot of free time read these things, right? Hell, why are you even playing FFXIV? Just support other games and talk about other games instead.

This is a classic, he said this shitting on FF14 1.0 but it's the philosophy of FF16 to a tee.

Why are you talking with yourself

None of you niggas see yoshi p.wearing a rolex? Broke ass niggas.

The other factor was Wuk Lamat... I feel a little sorry that we weren't able to properly depict her

She's a very complex character and she even has a bit of a complex about herself

Unfortunately we didn't delv very far into the background of why she had those feelings, so it appeared as if she left a negative impression

We may have been able to make her more straightforward, so we're pushing her in the forefront as this character

But again we're going to be reflecting that learning into [content patch 7.1] and onward, we're hoping that we can show more of what makes Wuk Lamat so great, and I'm hoping that we can regain from there.

Let me say it in plain English because you're not understanding something here, they can't write the background for a character and present her "complexities" while giving her the third most dialogue in the entire game is a writing failure on a monumental level. Not only that but the feedback YoshiP takes is that there wasn't enough Wuk Lamat so his solution is to show MORE of her. Fuck me what a disaster.

Wuk Lamat's a very complex character

Turn based jarpigs are popular because they can be played with one hand by the most braindead retard. There is a reason it is the default gameplay format of every gacha shit.
If Yoshitpoo doubles down on his beliefs (action is better than turn gayed, which is true) maybe I will give his MMO another chance.

barry looks down at his hands, and back up at a turn based RPG developed by french people, specifically former ubisoft devs

he looks at his hands again and he wonders

"how can i make this about naoki yoshida? about yoshitpiss? think, barry, think"

Why are you so obsessed?

If Yoshitpoo doubles down on his beliefs (action is better than turn gayed, which is true)

in case you were in a fucking coma, he can't develop action games either. Every genre he touches become streamlined and generic.

YoshiP is a fraud

Bravely Default 2 as well. And Bravely Default 1 is getting a remaster in June.

Yes in Final Fantasy games

Why?

this thread is populated by a guy whose parasocial relationship with naoki yoshida is founded entirely on games journo interviews and doomposts upcycled from final fantasy 14's official forum and the r/xivshitpost subreddit

FF16 had an AAA budget, including marketing, and the name of a huge franchise (or what used to be one, due to SE's mismanagement) attached. Expedition 33 is an AA game made by 30 frenchies with likely a kickstarter-tier budget.
Granted, console exclusivity surely hurt FF16's sales, but Expedition 33 has a nonzero chance of reaching or even clearing FF16's lifetime sales, which is an unmitigated disaster for SE. No amount of coping can negate this fact.

No it doesn't because FF16 cost $250 million to make while Expedition cost $20million.
FF16 sold 3million copies
Expedition so far has sold 2million
Can you do mathematics on which one made a huge successful profit and which one did not even break even?

ff16 hasn't been exclusive to PS5 since september. Also they put shipping and and digital sales in the same bag to inflate numbers. By all account ff16 has been catastrophic given the pedigree of the franchise. Even a shitty unfinished mess like ff15 sold by the truckload.

Vizex Xene
On da sceen
Look so cool
So fresh
So clean

I know it's not exclusive anymore, but I believe the exclusivity also did long-term damage to the sales. I was on the fence about buying it since I can appreciate a good action game, but having heard the reports about it being basically western cinematic slop until new game+ where the actual gameplay kicks in, I will wait until a huge sale. I imagine many potential PC players are in the same boat. This might not have happened had they done a simultaneous release (I still wouldn't have bought it until informing myself, but I doubt most people would've held off as long).

Yoshipee will never recover

everyone points at yoship for ff16's faults

forgets he's not even the director, not even the creative director, but just the producer

You faggots just want to hate him cause it's cool to hate him. Do you even play 14, do you even want it to succeed?

I sure hope you aren't playing 14
LOL

Do you even play 14

I did, which is why I can confidently say yoshida is the crux of the problem because 16 has the exact same issues 14 has to comical proportions.

do you even want it to succeed?

no, i want it all to crash down because the alternative is a slow agonizing death for the franchise.

You faggots just want to hate him cause it's cool to hate him

normally wired people hates him because he is an incompetent fuck who got branded as a genius for changing the menu of a restaurant from feces to cheap burgers.

Why do people keep shooting at Yoshi-P instead of Mr. KH? Yoshi-P did us geriatrics right with Timely rings. It's Nomura and his yesmen who needs to make everything about Le sKiLl ExPrESsiON"

Post the release date, budget, metascore and user score of FFXVI and Rebirth, now. You lost, weeaboo-kun.
This game will outsell XVI and Rebirth in less than 2 months. Seethe and dilate.
Squareenix is a sinking ship.

retard.

The reason for the oversimplification is their unhealthy love with Savage slop. BLM cast times and timers got removed because the Job wouldn't be able to do jack shit in several of the current raid fights. Same reason they removed cast times from Esuna because fucking Mr. Ozma wanted 4 second doom tics for the spectacular failure that was Chaotic. Every single mechanic in the game has to bend around them making the Savage content harder and harder, and the only way to do that is increase the mental load on the player and shorten the reaction times. That is all that is to that. And the best part? Unless they touch every single encounter from ShB onwards, there is no way to fix that and give Jobs depth again. The game is fundamentally broken at this point. Yoshida wanting to turn it into an action game killed Jobs.

Because ff14 rejected children models, look at pedos literally killing dd2 threads

Because mentally ill retards jumped on FF late and/or retards try to blame him for everything due to one or more of his dumb comments. All of these cases ignore the fact that Square enix has never been a positive for Final Fantasy mainline games in general.

It's over Final Piss bros...we lost

Japan lost.

Because FF was supposed to die till yoshida pulled FF14 v2. Tendies have a grudge against FF since 7 so he is the reason FF didn't die.
You fire yoshi and hire someone else that makes FF popular again you will get tendies going back to

FF was never good

Threads removed

Shill

I'm pissing on his grave. Yosh.

Its just a game, relax.

Shinzo finale arc when?

it's a yoshida thread and he produced and direct the two most recent/ongoing ff you samefagging retard

proudly own up to being a niggercattle

many such case

For every new patch dropped in XIV since 6.0, my hatred towards him grows.
Fucking hack piece of shit and his creatively bankrupt unit 3

More like Yoshi-P...enis hahaha

dunning-kruger: the picrel

this is an old edgelord stuck in his 16y.o chuunibyou edgelord phase. he dresses, talks and presents himself like a 16y.o chuunibyou edgelord. everything he makes is to appeal and cater to the 16y.o edgelord demographic. he wants to be praised as the genius lord savior by those 16y.o edgelord. this 50y.o faggot is cut from the same cloth as kojima and kubo tits.

Barry was right about him.

Again with the fandom baiting? Get new content, faggot. This narrative has already fumbled.

I'm not the one obsessing over some mmo

Oh no! it'd be a shame if FF had gone to shit far before he ever made the most recent games what with their fumbling of the franchise since the fucking merger happened you braindead loon. It'd also certainly be something if shit like action combat was clearly a company mandate which we could see evidence of in other FF titles that he had nothing to do with like XV and 7R.
But no, everything is clearly Yoshida's fault and we shit ourselves about him and not SE gargling balls like it's the company motto.

tfw Barry is the one stoking these fires because Expedition 33's Devs were the guys that made the Assassin's Creed crossover for XV when they were at Ubisoft. Meaning they are a holy dev studio in his eyes.

Jokes on you, you abo cunt. I like both, and XV is still trash.

Smug Tataru.jpg - 1024x576, 59.71K

people are mad at what yoshida did to the games he worked on, which are the most recent ones

why are you blaming him for everything????

what causes you to be this fucking retarded?

It's not only that he is stuck in that mindset, his general idea of what a video game should be is also absolute ass.
He genuinely doesn't understand what makes a video game fun and it shows with FFXVI and recent FFXIV.
I'm so glad he never got his shot at Dragon Quest, because he would have single-handedly killed it in the west and tanked it heavily in JP.

I've never seen a more blatant case of "We don't care anymore".
I genuinely believe in the conspiracy theory that CS3 is actively trying to kill FFXIV to get assigned to other projects.

I'm not the one ignoring reality and pointing the finger at one dude when the aspects I'm complaining about are clearly present in SE as a whole. Whether or not the company mindset rotted his brain or he's just following orders I can't tell you but it clearly comes from a higher source than him you fucking dumbass. Use your head for something more than shitposting for a change.

What's wrong with 7.2? It's probably one of the best received patches the game has had. The most negative thing I've seen about it is that it didn't completely disable playerscope or whatever. If the Foray zone is well received it would probably be their most successful patch launch yet imo. Close to zero major controversy of any kind so far.

Wait for yoshi p to make a game exclusive for switch so these spams disappear

Honestly this thread just seems like every single Yoshida seethe thread we've had over the last few years nothing really new. Only shock is that their isn't that bot that dumps the image folder yet but I'm sure it'll turn up in a few hours.

I haven't played Final Fantasy in years. Moved on to SMT and Persona.

Yoshitpiss deserves it, to be fair.

Nah he is just an Indian who wants to attach xv to anything. He didn't even 100% xv

FF14 was comfy during ARR. Now every class is the same stupid rotations because Hackshida is a retard. Even FF16 has his stupid spam shit off cooldown uninspired mentality with no strategy involved. I can't wait til he gets fired after incoming hostile takeover of Squeenix.

You come across as obsessed to me desu but if it makes you happy more power to you I guess.

he is just following orders!!!!!

I hope he see this, bro

That was my first post in the thread so what exactly makes you think I'm obsessed?

Who's 'he'?

No you have to understand Yoshida the Director and Producer for FF14 and the Producer for FF16 and head of the studio for making FF16, you see in fact he's just a poor innocent misunderstand game dev who really isn't responsible at all. He's not accountable for any of the decisions or actions he made and in fact we should be praising him endlessly for all the positive things he brought to Final Fantasy.
He's simultaneously responsible for reviving FF and also not accountable at all. retarded isnt it but that is how the cult of yoship thinks

He wasn't even the director of ff16

Cult

Literally only you faggots talk about this guy

yoshi pee is based because he made a "game" impossible to fail by auto succeeding qtes for me! nomura bad because he makes gameplay

Why are you here?

I hope rumored FF9 remake is turn based so we can see if turn based shitters will buy next AAA FF if it's turn based

0e9.jpg - 600x600, 38.65K

He wasn't even the director of ff16

You didn't even read the post you're seething at, Larry.

He didn't even say he was based, you are fucking mentally ill

Turn-based doesn't actually matter because FF7R showed us that FFags only care about cutscenes. If even a single line or camera angle in the FF9 remake isn't identical to the PS1 version they won't buy the game. The turn-based combat is just an excuse.

Classic Yoshida cultist seething at something that wasn't even said.

According to leakers is turn based

As long as they don't change the story like they did with FF7Remake and also break FF9 into a trilogy, then we'll see. Turnbased is only one part of what makes a FF game successful.

It doesn't even exist

pretty sure nomura did it first with 15

I feel like this argument is not 100% genuine. SE kept releasing Turn based games, they are just not as popular because they are kinda too japanese. You also still trying to attach Metaphor to the actual succesful WESTERN RPGs says a lot too.
SE biggest mistakes are:
1) partner with snoy and waste the game away in ps5, not even PS4 in 16's case
2) Make the remake in 3 parts.
FFVIIR also missed out that Steam x covid windows Capcom made and Sega made a smart use of. There is also the fact that 7 remake project is still telling the SAME story but with 200% filler, and you have groups who don't know if they will start with Remake and then they will burn out before starting part 3 or you will get people just joining for part 3. Anyway, it lost the people discussing a game because they already know the story.
With 16, it lacked a PARTY (and also trapped in ps5), which would have made people forgave not being turn based a lot more

Yoshida needs to deliver Scion dating.

It exists just like P4R, stop being in denial

FF was destroyed by the PS3 making their movies 5 times as expensive

128104268_p1.jpg - 582x1025, 489.11K

You retards have been talking about this supposed remake for like six fucking years dude, it doesn't exist and never did.

E33 would sell better as an action game, unironically.

The setting, characters, story etc is what pulls people in. If anything the horribly balance act 3 ruins so many cool ass fights.

I'm tired of actionslops actually, every single one of them feels exactly the same

Yoshida take the humbling from the small game who beat your ass.

It wouldn't. E33 is being celebrated because it fills the classic FF shaped hole in our hearts.

Honestly, a second nuke towards the game would be a blessing.
The gameplay is just stagnant by foundation, it cannot evolve. A dead end. Maybe it can be morphed, like for example altering loot+stats, job expansion like adding side skills, more overworld activities (GW2 is great on this imo) rather than just being a diorama for FATEs. But that means breaking off from the formula™, and they don't have the balls to deviate from it. Even then, you probably can still tell how stiff and static the gameplay is.
Despite all that, the game was hard carried by the narrative side. The insane nosedive on that department really soured me that i don't think i'll sub until like 7.55 when it overlaps with the next expac release. I don't even care anymore that i'm skipping M5S-M12S.

It's not the singular patches that ticks me off, it's how they're handling the game in general. It takes a decade for them to address anything (aside from major bugs) that a snail can beat them twice over. Constantly fucked balancing, slow drip feed content, the gaping hollow of any side content that was Endwalker patches etc they weren't even trying with the relic weapon.
I mean i was on copium by the end of it, i thought at least Asura would have an EX version like Varis but nah.

Sorry for the schizo mucho texto, my thoughts about the game are a bit all over the place atm and it's difficult to put it more coherently.

6 years

Not really, it was leaked in nvidia a few years ago
I bet you were the one denying smtv going multiplaform lmao

It wouldn't, actionslop is a dime a dozen nowadays, and many well-funded AA titles struggle to break 500k. E33 sold almost entirely on the basis that it's a turn-based JRPG that doesn't look like an early PS3 game, and now continues to sell due to word of mouth of it being actually good.

Nah if FF16 with its terrible word of mouth could do 3m after that demo which was the only great part of the game, then this game with great word of mouth would do better. Just look at how many mid Soulsclones get traction online, they might not have sales cause they are mediocre/bad games but you get plenty of people shilling AI Limit or Khazan.

So people dont want turn based games, they want turn based ff

E33 will outsell FF16 no problem. It's going to be another NieR Automata or Persona 5 scenario where sales are relatively modest at first, but don't really fall off much due to word of mouth. If you simply make a good and interesting game people will shill it for you and you're set for years to come. Meanwhile Final Fantasy XVI had hype and a big name, but I bet most people bought it immediately upon release and sales numbers fell off the cliff afterwards

Just take the L.

Romantic date with Krile when?

Tipsy.jpg - 1024x894, 90.42K

Yoshi-P is the one responsible

not all the ones who already turned away from proper turn-based combat at Square Enix

Bro they haven't even updated Metaphor's sales, that game absolutely dropped off a cliff like Yakuza Infinite Wealth. If anything this game proves its not the combat system, its actually having an interesting world, cast and story but also less juvenile writing like Metaphor did

Why are you latching metaphor onto WESTERN games?

Metaphor: ReFantazio

i wonder if having retarded names has a noticeable negative impact, if only from a perception point of view. Sure does for me.

Same boat. Especially with soulsclones, there's often something about them that just feels lacking, but usually for me it's because they feel more "floaty", like my attacks has no feeling of impact.

Barry was right and won.

That's how sega does it.
They announce one million milestone and that's it.

That's the funny thing, this persecution complex is hilarious when turn based games never stopped being made

15 was the only mainline before 16 to have entirely ditched command based, and yoshi trash bragged about it.

Gonna ask here in lieu of another thread.
Is there max shields limit in E33?
Trying to do early Sprong but am getting filtered by the 7hit/stupid fast additional sabotage. Went to get Momo, and have a shield loop for buffer but I'm not sure it's worth losing the extra damage for the protection unless I can stack like 10 shields.
The pictos/lumia system is also really fun for just tinkering and fucking about which wouldn't work in action as much either. Getting everything to satisfying click in place, being able to make slight adjustments for a boss fight I don't think can be fully replicated.
I guess Stranger of Paradise, funnily enough, was probably the closest.

the game that sold less than every single numbered final fantasy is prove final fantasy is over

yoshi-p was a retard the moment ishikawa didn't carry his mmorpg. you can see everything wrong with his ideas in dawntrail. wuk lamat is literally his oc

is prove

ESL poopskin

It will blow past XVI and Stillbirth by the end of the year. E33 achieved its player peak 10 days after release why Final Fantasy sells 90% of its copies in the first week

is prove

Never, because Hiroshimoot only cares about profit, not quality.

wuk lamat is second after 7.2 btw lmao

The anniversary for Guild Wars 1 happened somewhat recently so I went back to fuck around in it for the first time in well over a decade to see what they did for the event and made a new Messmer since I had never tried it.
Holy fuck it was so much more fun and involving to play than any job left in XIV, interrupting and counter spelling, setting up dot damage and debuff hexs to pop with other skills at the last second for big damage, it was essentially everything I had hoped Bard's or Red Mage's rotation would've evolved into, minus their support stuff.
I'd already been long done with XIV but it was just an extra kick in the head reminder of the dumbing down of everything I was putting up with before.

So same as tabata?

that doesn't look like an early PS3 game

Why? PS3 was the last era of good video game artstyles.

People are mad at Yoshida because he betrayed their expectations (aside from Barry, who is just a schizo). Everyone who has been following FF for a while knew the Nomura/Kitase/Toriyama trio are clueless hacks without Sakaguchi's guidance, nobody expected anything different than them fucking up the franchise.
FF14 ARR and foward seemed to be the antithesis to that; it took the original FF14, a game that was FF in nothing but name, and gradually introduced classic FF elements like iconic jobs, a strong fantasy narrative, an actually good soundtrack, and so on. This peaked with Shadowbringers, which was considered on par with the mainline titles in terms of quality. Yes, the gameplay was MMO slop, but that came with the territory, so people were coping that it was just a necessity of the genre and that if Yoshida ever got his hands on an offline mainline game, he would bring back turn-based combat too, especially since he claims absolute classics of turn based combat as his favorites, such as TO.
Then he actually gets his chance, and he immediately uses it to make a cinematic actionslop game, and publicly and smugly insults everyone who disagrees with that direction. People are mad because they put their faith in him, and he completely fucked them over. You can argue that it was stupid of people to do so in the first place, and you'd be right, but it's a perfectly understandable reaction.

Pvp was the only thing holding me to the game and dt somehow ruined it even further than ew
Give me back old nin and old blm you fucking assholes

129773206_p1.png - 1421x1980, 2.66M

Just another out of touch boomer

FF14 mobile version when? I don't want a subscription and you made me really curious considering how much time you spend talking about FF14

I feel like the developers of cbu3 lost their way. The fact that something like wuk lamat was allowed to happen means it's too late. Dawntrail should have been another 90 metacritic game and instead it's barely a 4/10.

Reality is grim
Thankfully turn based rpgs are still being made, just not by square who only want to make action movie games

FFXV was almost 10 years ago you schizo, XIV is ongoing and XVI released 2 years ago.

the prob isn't just that they make action movies, it's that they make particularity shit ones.

I unironically believe yoshi hasn't entered the xiv dev room in like 6 years, all he does is collect paychecks he then use to buy new rings and watches

129002265_p0.png - 1705x2731, 3.21M

Everyone likes shitting out random numbers on FF16's development costs, but no one seems to provide a source. FF16 also has DLC and brand deals, and merchandise that adds to the income the game generates as well.

Anyone that thinks E33 made more money than FF16 are desperate to prove a point that Square Enix's own sale records of their numerous turn-based RPGs prove wrong.

To be honest I think he just got a lobotomy when he joined SE's board of directors, seems to be a mandatory procedure for anyone on there. He seemed quite reasonable before then, but from the moment he joined the board, XIV's direction went completely awry, and XVI really only can be explained by the out of touch boomer theory.

people still think Wuk is the issue

Wrong.
Yes the character is shit, but the reason DT sucks is that the worlbuilding around Tural is shit, Solution 9 just clashes too much with the aesthetics, the IX references are god awful and there is nothing interesting happening at all.

AAA games have notoriously high marketing budget. FF are certainly no exceptions.

Then prove it.

The worldbuilding is just infantile

diversity but everyone think, act and dresses the same, their race is just their job

Nice communist commune

I contacted SE and they don't want to give me numbers. It's proof that FFXVI has done fantastically well.

people talk about her because she is extremely prominent and in your face. She is the embodiment of the core of the issue with modern ffxiv.

Square will acquire the studio out of desperation

ABSOLUTE BARRY VICTORY!
TOTAL YOSHIT-PISS DEATH!

Final Fantasy was detroyed way before he touched the franchise

Square Enix's own sale records of their numerous turn-based RPGs prove wrong.

How do sales records for Square Enix turn-based AA games prove this wrong in any way?
Octopath Traveler I alone sold 3 million units, almost equalling FFXVI's lifetime sales. Are you seriously tring to argue that OT cost anywhere near as much to develop as FFXVI?
Hell, both OT games together probably cost less to develop than FFXVI alone did, and together handily outsold it.
The burden of proof here is on you; show, using actual numbers, how an AA turn based game developed on a shoestring budget made less money than a major AAA title when their sales numbers are only ~500k apart.

diversity is when everyone wears the same poncho, bigot

Solution 9 just clashes too much with the aesthetics

The modern shit is garbage and I am so sick of it.

13 was insipid but it at least pretended to be a FF game to some extent. 15 had the excuse of a decade long development mess until they had to rush something out to justify the dev cost. 16 had no such issue, so everybody had high hopes. But it turned out to be a dog shit generic action game that had of FF only the name and it was all by design of the man who just happened to produced another FF game which the exact same issues.
FF was on a downtrend since 13, arguably since 12 (the giga purist will say arguably since 10), but yoshida finished it off with whatever the fuck 16 is supposed to be.

He revived it with Heavensward and Shadowbringers but then he took it out back and made snuff porn with it. Final Fantasy got gaped bloody and then shot in the head.

Square made turn based games you larper

FF cycle again

FF died 2 decades ago, you poser

Yeah 25 years ago

NOOOOOO! YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO BLAME HOLIEST TABATA FOR MAKING THE FF SERIES INTO ACTION SLOP!

Tabata is the reason.

Octopath

Bravely default

SaGa

Wuk is the core problem. She's literally the manifestation of everything wrong with DT.

Those games weren't made by square beside octopath which was a joint project with acquire
They also all sucked dicks

Didnt they reduce her presence later?

SaGa

not made by Square

Yes, because everyone fucking hates her.

concession accepted yoshipiss dick rider

lmao i hope square sees the success of clair obscur and actually make a new turn based ff, or at least give me a game set in ivalice bros

I accept your concession, and I couldn't care less about your boyfriend yoshida

Even with that doomposters will still doompost

the IX references are god awful

This part of Dawntrail doesn't get enough hate.

The shard based upon FFIX is dead and gone

The few survivors turned into shibuyan wiggers and their current culture is aesthethically and thematically the diametric opposite of everything in FFIX

The Vivi stand-in is an irrelevant lil' nigga that's merely an accessory to his father, the worst written villain in the history of fiction

The Steiner stand-in is actually based, but immediately gets senselessly killed like an hour after his introduction, then gets killed again a couple hours later for good measure

The Garnet stand in becomes the final boss in the most awkwardly forced conflict in recorded history

j/k, she's back (she will die again for the sin of being a cute girl in FFXIV)

FFXVIII niggers where mad about only getting a raid series with lesbians as a reference, they have no idea what kind of bullet they dodged.

I was thinking of the chinese mana game I guess
Too bad it bombed horribly because saga is a shit franchise

yeah, but when I say wuk lamat, I usually mean "the writer is a complete retard"

he released one game. Why didn't yoshigod fix his mistake? And did tabata forces him to turn xiv into streamlined slop as well? But I am being rhetorical, you cultist can only think in term of teams.

Krile is playing one of the original three Final Fantasy games on NES. What one is she playing, and how bad is she suffering

Krile Vidya.png - 865x808, 355.67K

there was only 1 non command based mainline FF beside 16 and no amount of dick riding your god will change that.

Says the Tabata cultist lmao

Didn't even play 16, but it's funny to laugh at you posers pretending ff didn't die way before that

Yes, replacing her with Sphene. WoL is still at best a mook and 0 stake in anything happening but since its a little girl looking at you with big eyes faggots are fine with it.

he released one game

Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Kingdom Hearts Coded

The 3rd Birthday

Final Fantasy Type-0

Your immaculate god is a peddler of dogshit.

He directed FF16, some people were pissed it wasn't turn-based. He said "no one wants to play turn-based games anymore. We need to adapt to modern audiences". Despite this, FF16 kinda flopped.
BG3, Metaphor and now Expedition 33 were all massive successes. Not to mention Yakuza, or the SMT re-releases all sold pretty well.

Basically, as soon as he said that, a bunch of great turn-based games launched back to back to back. That's why it's so funny.

He wasn't the director of FF16

you can play every job on a single character

they're all boring

is that why i drop it right after titan and gave it a negative on steam? like i said you can only think in term of sides, intellectual reasoning is entirely foreign to you because you are a woman, you are purely driven by emotion and tribalism.

You always say this but I only see bg3 and ex33 as the BIG success

still refuse to acknowledge that 15 is when command based was ditched

i already accepted your concession

He's waking the game off so hard because the Devs did the AC crossover in XV

Yoshida is a hack fraud and should kill himself.

none of these are mainline games or even FF games you fucking niggercattle. I swear on motherfucking god people like you should be rounded up and executed for the betterment of mankind. You are so fucking lucky that modern society allow mentally stunted niggers like you to even exist.

Why would you want someone to only obsessively love one thing you've done a decade ago, but continually shit on everything you've done since?

I can believe after all these years playing this game, DT finally got me to not renew sub since August and I admit, I check out game's condition and patch content in case something makes me return but nothing so far... how did they manage to fumble that badly?

She's probably playing II... Or she's emulating V and just got up to where Galuf dies

like ffxvi

feel meh about ffxiv

absolutely hate the yoshi-p cult crowd

hate the random normiefag expedition 33 shilling

who's side am I suppose to be on?????

No, he is just some opportunist

*can't believe

you don't have to pick one side, just be (you)

Some sort of soulless gen z mutt most likely

how did they manage to fumble that badly?

They let Americans have control because it's the New World expac.

Unrelated, Tranny Bryer has recently started talking shit about VA's that are better than him again because he supports the current SAG strike and they don't.

There is only one person who can save us now.

Imagine paying sub and get treated to this plus viera and hrothgars

space suit cuts of tails

I hate this company so much

They're even lazier with au ra than the furries
Everything has always been designed for hyurs, but now they cut tails and ears

Producer, whatever. The point is that he said "turn-based games are for retarded boomers, new audiences want action games". And he was proved wrong immediately after.
I'm not commenting on the quality of FF16, I haven't played it. All I'm saying is that statement followed by a renaissance of turn-based games is funny. Just like people still make fun of Tim Sweeney for saying "PC gaming is dead, consoles are better" a few years before a big PC gaming boom.

Relative to their budget, Persona/SMT and Yakuza were big successes as well.

The 99999 mod helps a lot, really should have capped it for act 3 and then unlock it.
Would make you learn boss fights.

modders doing devs' jobs as usual

XV is shit but XVI somehow manages to be shitter
I actually finished XV but I reached the Titan fight in XVI and found out I wasn't even halfway through and dropped that pile of shit
Garbage side quests
Garbage loot from chests making exploration not worth the effort
Cutscenes cutscenes cutscenes
150gb install
No party members to control besides Crive
No elemental weaknesses so no clue why they bothered add in elemental aspects. I'm guessing just for different coloured particle effects cause pretty
I felt extra aggrieved because I have friends that basically worshipped Yoshida and said he'd fix all the faults with XV and that it'd be worth buying the game so I did, I ponied up the cash and got scammed

Bazzy, they're saying Lightning and Clive and Cloud can beat Noctis in /ffg/...

I haven't played 16 yet since it's more expensive than it seems to deserve, but reading all that I think I'd rather delete my sop file and replay it

It's been 6 FUCKING YEARS since hrothgar and viera, and they're STILL not getting hair/headgear parity with other races. In fact, not even new sets' helmet and such shows up sometimes. Oh and I FUCKING HATE CIRCLETS.
They are legitimately so fucking lazy holy shit, either that or severly incompetent.

Literal god being

Has pseudo god powers

Super Soldier

Motherfucker even Tidus would fold Noctis.

I genuinely hate that all they do is lower reaction times and obfuscating mechanics.

I don't do content with lalas, male cats, furries or femroes in them.

I give 0 shit about hrothfags and vieras they knew what they signed for, but everything now being gender neutral makes me boil, it's alllll trash, if not for mods 90% of the playerbase would have dropped it, no one cares about farming glam anymore, they just mod shit

And most of those are quirky chungus vignette atypical progression RPGs. They are not Final Fantasy. The two that break the mold are a DQ game, which is not Final Fantasy, and an imaginary game that doesn't exist. III, IV, V, and VI(at least the pre-WoR part of the game). That is Final Fantasy. Those are the lines they have to re-learn how to color within. I leave it up to you if you'd like to include I, as it's prototypical yet dated. VII, VIII, and IX retain some of the spark, but the character of the PS era games was notably shifted.

XVI basically has no black people

Rebirth is like 50% black npcs

Anon Babble likes Rebirth more than XVI

I thought Anon Babble was racist

gets brought back but without a shred of humanity

Gets deleted again and won't come back because she's unnecessary to the main bad guy's plan now

Could have had a story point where real Sphene reveals herself and the fake tries to say she's the real Sphene

That's a plot point that could have been interesting that won't happen anymore

it took the original FF14, a game that was FF in nothing but name, and gradually introduced classic FF elements like iconic jobs, a strong fantasy narrative, an actually good soundtrack, and so on.

No, you fucking retard. It took World of Warcraft and gave it a Final Fantasy coat of paint with tons of member berries. Final Fantasy XI did a far better job at making a MMO that both feels Final Fantasy and original at the same time. Hell, the Dragon Quest MMO wasn't as shameless about shoving fanservice into it and that series is built in shameless fanservice.

Rebirth is a flawed yet solid game

XVI was a shitty DMC clone

A game being good takes priority.

the job system is at best wasted on the game and at worst a detriment to the games design.
completely fucked.

it took the original FF14, a game that was FF in nothing but name

That's like half of the damn mainline titles and pretty much all of them after X.

XV had some good bones, it was just horribly mismanaged and disappointing. The game engine can do some pretty nice stuff, but the only place in the entire game where it's actually utilized to do more than fighting on flat ground or corridors is in the secret platforming dungeon.
Then there's the utterly retarded way the plot is presented, the incredible environments reduced to one time set dressing because they have literally zero content associated with them and the painfully easy and as generic as can be side quests.
Despite all this it somehow managed to be less boring than XVI.

every mainline before X felt FF. After that there was only 4 mainlines excluding the mmos.

So, why do the Devs keep adding little bits of content that are Lalafell exclusive?

Everyone likes shitting out random numbers

No, you like to cover your eyes to inconvient truths. The development team for FFXVI, the number of people credited was over 2000, it was in development since FF14's 3.3 post patch of Heavensward which was around 7-8 years.
The chart is right there for how much FF16 cost to make, so what now you're going to say it's not real right?

i can't wait for the next expansion to see MNK dramatically changed once again, it's more consistent than anything else in this game's lifetime...

We need more Lalafells eating burgers.

I love both.
