holds on to global top 10 seller position despite being out for a month and Oblivion, Doom, Schedule 1 coming out after it (no longer on the list)

constant character, gameplay, music lore and story discussion (and a few schitzo falseflaggers too, of course) on Anon Babble

already 2m+ sales on Steam alone

white Anon Babble loves it, brown Anon Babble hates it

sold out in all the biggest retailers

even The Japan Times, notoriously critical of western gaming, openly applaud it

Guess David killed Goliath this time, huh?

No Goliath, Final Fantasy, has been slowly killing itself since the PS2. Expedition 33 didn't kill anything, it just kinda popped up without advertisement, showed everyone how things are suppose to be done, and dropped the mic.
Oh and what you refer to as "brown Anon Babble" is just shills that are paid specifically to stifle up-and-coming competitors to well-established titles. You see this shit all the time.

Final Fantasy, has been slowly killing itself since the PS2

true, but it needed a new audience
even the dragon quest remaster is barely selling anymore

Because it was censored for trannies

wait really?
i didn't catch any huge censorship scandal around it
we're talking about 2DHD game right?

It's just the "new hotness". In 6 months it'll be unknown.

I'm brown and I'm loving the game so far.
I'm at act 3 and I'm at a loss about what to do. The rest of the map is open to explore... while being full of enemies with 1 billion HP who OHK you
What the hell man

Yeah

type 1-2 shit

changed isis to Ibis

gave shorts to female warrior

recolored the lips of the ogre because sjw are racists and see blacks everywhere

of the top of my head

white Anon Babble loves it, brown Anon Babble hates it

Reminded me of this joke from Family Guy. I wonder if that shit's still around.

recolored the lips of the ogre

had to look it up and holy fuck it doesn't even look good

The fuck is Schedule 1?

im brown and i love it

Also removed also all the crosses, changed the design of the bunny girls
Probably more I can't remember
4kids shit and all the redditors here defended
That remake did not deserve to be supported

Some meme-sim FOTM game

goliath has been dead for a while now

Also removed also all the crosses

In fairness to them, the crosses didn't make a ton of sense in the original either. It's not like the canonical faith of Dragon Quest is Christianity.

blue portal= you're overleveled
yellow=correct level
red=underleveled

just try to do stuff based on this, i gotta warn you the last story mission is gonna be all one shots if you do all the side stuff before it

It's a just *insert* religious symbol, Link isn't a jihadist either
Now they worship Satan or Poseidon instead

Still outsold by nu final fantasy. And people have the nerve to say this is better than 6-10

It took them like 10 years to release it. This is not how you do things

3 decade year old IP made by a company with 4000 employees barely outsells a French borderline indie new IP with 30 developers

2004 Dofus releases. It's a stupid name and the French shouldn't try to make anything

2008 Wakfu releases, and it has a cult following to this day

Ubisoft is going bankrupt

2019 Plague Tale comes out. It gives hope that French studios might be competent at making a good game. Not a lot of hope, but hope nonetheless.

2025 France defeats Japan, USA, and the rest of Europe in creating the longest lasting and genuinely liked GOTY since probably some 6th gen release.

France has grown on me. Let's see how long this French renaissance lasts.

this game insists upon itself

You need to be fed more anti-French propaganda by the American government you aren't allowed to like them
I mean Fr*nch, the reddit approved word

15 and 16 are shit games. They only sold well because FF was an established franchise came from a big company and had a very large fanbase.
If big sale numbers = good then starfield must be a great game

"brown Anon Babble" is just shills that are paid specifically to stifle up-and-coming competitors to well-established titles. You see this shit all the time

I genuinely believe this.

Western story

uses symbolism, metaphor, theme, allegory to tell a 2nd or 3rd meta-story that supersedes the base narrative

representational artwork, melodic music, consistent with western cultural style

a plot that flows logically like an artpiece, giving each character their arc that fits snugly in the story

adult level dialogue, assumes the viewer is intelligent enough to pick up on the plot points without much explaining

message is meaningful without being pretentious (not always, but ideally)

characters grow close through shared struggle, shared personality traits, play off each other in subtle yet interesting ways

Japanese story

the bad guy is evil, he did the evil things, he's STRONG too, you have to get stronger

story theme is always the same "protect your friends!, nakama!!!" Sometimes you protect the world as a bonus

resolution to the story is "punch the bad guy really hard"

*insert random cool thing often ripped from other media (flying cars, gundam, laser beam....etc)

*insert airbrained boobsgirl non-character

*insert random cute character that doesn't make sense to the plot

**this stuff doesn't fit into the greater narrative or have any purpose other than a chintzy advertisement

every plot point has to be explicitly spelled out through dialogue or exposition, assuming the viewer has a brain made of cheese

character building consists of "baka baka" funny moment, or "ehhhhh!!!???" with camera panning up to the sky

The reason E33 was better is because it was in a western style, and the western style is superior.
The only reason people fled to japanese media is because of the DEI shit. When that's taken out and all cylinders are firing, there's nothing better than western storytelling

Japanese story

Silent Hill 2 was pretty good.

SAAAARRR YOU ARE ARYAN IF YOU LIKE OUR GAME PLS REDEEM

Pajeet randomly listing anime shit he found on tvtropes

So transparent.

me too

Why the American insecurity about the French? They should be glad when one of their allies does well. Or maybe they're still butthurt because the French weren't dumb enough to go to war over false allegations?

Those jeets were contracted by the son of the billionaire with Ubisoft connections.

Insufferable coastal pricks have no allies.

Can someone post the Verso / Maelle FFT meme where he goes

It's escapism, can't you see?

That series of events was funny

-Hey France lets go guns blazing in Iraq and kill them all

-If zou do that you will make Syria stronger we zould fuck over them first

-fuck you freedom fries now, I throw all your wine away

-help the USA in Iraq anyway

-ISIS happens

-Americans still hate the French

"I'm going to keep claiming this despite there being no evidence to it beyond some literally deleted user on Reddit (of all things) with 0 replies that I totally didn't make myself, and I'm going to connect it to Ubisoft despite Sandfall openly hating that company!"

Schizo moment.

BASED LUNEPOSTER

this fuck modern SE

American francophobia is a strange phenomenon, I've never really understood it despite having lived my entire life in the US. French people are kind of shitty and up their own asses generally but I've always found their culture and history pretty interesting, and I've never really had any actual problem with them

constant character, gameplay, music lore and story discussion (and a few schitzo falseflaggers too, of course) on Anon Babble

When was the last time a game's story/ending sparked this much discussion (not shitposting/meltdowns) on Anon Babble?
How long has it been since something actually had this board genuinely engaging with ideas and interpretations? For a fucking month post-release?

I wouldn't say a skirt with bare legs is more or less erotic than a skirt with stockings and a thigh gap.

Elden Ring still gets daily plot/lore threads despite the rampant shitposting from dedicated discord trannies almost 4 fucking years after it came out

I fucking hate spats and all the spats apologist to no end

When was the last time a game's story/ending sparked this much discussion (not shitposting/meltdowns) on Anon Babble?

Considering the theme is fucking escapism but with an actual drawback, of course this would be the one game that should cause this shitfest to happen

escapism.png - 542x248, 126.57K

It’s certainly better than 11-16

but with an actual drawback

Well, it's easy to argue "anti escapism" in FFTA where everyone gets to return to the real world, or FFX where the dream people have a soul that returns to the Farplane to reincarnate and whatnot. Here you just fucking kill everyone.

Game boils down to Portal A B

Gee it's almost as if people love pretentious, sniff-their-own-farts things to engage with.
The endings are not that deep and people are only arguing over it because it's a binary choice. That's it.
