      I don't think you understand how hard normalgays would drop the game if it opened like Tactics Ogre or FFT and took the typical amount of time to actually explain the countries/characters/etc. It's just a way of encouraging player retention without losing out on the complexity of the narratives they are trying to emulate. Something like Vagrant Story's cold open would lead to a massive dropoff after the first cheevo in today's climate.

        This. So far it seems like the game does a great job of "show, don't tell", like showcasing how Bearers are treated and function in society as slaves, and how hard magic is used as a crutch. Bearer guy in Rosaria being forced to fill a fountain, servant pouring water from a crystal to nobles etc.

        The weird thing is there’s plenty of valid criticisms and things you can argue fall under “ymmv” but I hardly ever see anything like that and it’s just the same untrue statements over and over again (with the exception of linearity; even if you can say prior games had been somewhat similar it doesn’t change that it’s still undeniable true for XIII)

      I don't trust journos and don't plan on starting to now, but most footage of the game already hinted at such a thing. Many people here have already used that to describe games positively because it's one of the best outcomes and highest praise a modern game can get, that of not being like a modern game in the places that matter. Stranger of Paradise and the rest of Team Ninja's recent games demonstrate this clearly.

      It's really according to the delivery but it isn't far fetched. I mean, if you think about it, why would someone every innovate tech like an aqueduct when you can just get clean water from a crystal? If they've been on the island for thousands of years of course they wouldn't have the same tech trajectory as regular people. Same with a furnace, why would you make shit like a blast furnace when you can just use a crystal?
      Obviously they are going to tie Cid's scientific streak into all of that, him and the other bearers live without magic.

        I guess it makes sense in a similar way of Mesoamericans not developing wheel-based transport and pottery tech, or Australian aboriginals never developing bow and arrow either. Except here it's because of the prevalence of an alternative tool/resource, not because of an absence of required components or circumstances, which seems a more slippery slope to justify these things not being developed.

        • 10 months ago
          Anonymous

          Yeah it definitely could end up being slippery-slope-ish, but I have to imagine they put some thought into it at least. I mean, bows, and the obvious absence of shields, but they still developed siege mechanisms like onagers. How far they'll stretch that into daily life will be interesting considering we are getting like, almost a decade worth (or more) of time passage in the game. Having tech outside of the crystals actually develop would be an interesting setting shift but would require so much in terms of asset creation I don't know if that's realistic. It would also be autistic, I can't imagine they thought about the battle scenes enough to have tactics change as time goes on and magic gets rare.

            The work done by the likes of Garlond more than make up for it. I agree it dampened the cool factor but that's ok. It's still true. They adopted it culturally wholesale and for the purpose of this thread it is significant enough.

          Think one of the funniest bits is that Garlemald had things like heaters and an actual radio station and nobody in Eorzea had any idea how they worked as they depend on aether way too much for anything. Hell Eorzea doesn't even any true craftsmen as they just use crystals for everything.

                Not a single character introduced in kingsglaive mattered, just one big waste of time producing that movie.

                I do hope SE can make more CGI movies though, if Capcom can keep pushing out new ones for their RE franchise why can't Square Enix ?

                playable and having a party are 2 different things, it had a full party then playable

                16 has neither

                In FF15 I can see Gladio and Ignis and Prompto's HP bar, I can open a menu and use items on them, I can use the technique bar to give them an individual command that I have set and unlocked from the ascension grid, I can equip their weapons, accessories, outfit, level them up, enhance their skills, performe link attacks with them, unlock abilities and actions they perform as AI from the ascension grid to increase what they do as AI, etc
                I can also see the HP bar of Aranea, Cor and Iris in addition to using items on them from a menu, performing link attacks with them and giving them a technique command from the technique bar costing meter, in addition I can view their stats and gear
                In addition to all that which is all in base game I can also swap to play as Ignis or Gladio or Prompto which are all unique systens with unique meters too in addition to MP bars, and can also play as Ardyn who has Ifrit as a party member you can give commands to

                In FF13 I can see Sahz or Snow or Hope's, or Vanile or Fangs HP bar, I can see their paradigm shift to know their AI movepool is, I can use items on them and I can manage their accessories and weapon equipment in addition to unlocking new commands to their move pool in the crystariam grid, and can change party leader to change who you directly input commands on

                In FF12 I can see the HP bars for Ashe or Basch or Balthier or Fran or Penelo, I can see their MP and ATB meter, I can dictate commands to them and tell their AI what to do in gambits and change their weapons and equipment and level up

                In FF16? Only clive can level up, equip and be customized and have items used on, torgal is just a dog AI that either attacks as AI or heals with no resource attached while Jill or Cid are just completely seperate AI with no menus, no customising, no levelling, no equipment, no stats, cant even use items on them, NO HP BAR

This appealed to Stellagay, who saw the same thing in FF12, which is his favorite Final Fantasy game of all time, and Xenogears, his favorite game of all time.

    Is it just me that feels like every preview of this game has a frickton of conflicting information? Is it a product of SE not giving them a script? Like for instance, with this one that came out yesterday you have one guy claiming the open area they were dropped in was only an 8th(?) of the entire open area, and that they were locked out of the majority of it for spoiler reasons, then you have another dude claiming that it was just the MSQ area that they were locked out of and it took him a few hours to explore the entire thing, and then you have another dude claiming the game is basically on rails and the "big areas" are just illusions and aren't big at all. It feels like these people are either outright moronic or just didn't pay attention or ask enough questions at the event and are just surmising things from their own limited experience.

        No, I want a definitive narrative period you fricking sperg. It's not helpful at all for these people to show up and tell everyone 6 different things and then tee hee away with pointless questions like "what does Final Fantasy MEAN" for the umpteenth time. Either Square is out fault for not being clear enough to them on the actual facts or they are at fault for being moronic and asking moronic questions that clarify nothing.

      Jack's game is just 1/4 of Versus 13. Mix FF15, NEO, Jack's game and FF16 and you get the game Nomura wanted to make. A dark doujin style real world commentary action RPG with KH2 gameplay.

      like the game or not you can't deny the style switching/combat was decent: it seems like this is a further evolution on that (with full movement).

      Correct. Kujiraoka, Abe and Matsuoka might be working on this game. They all are not only Lightning Returns devs, but also KH2 devs.

      FF11 doesn't count as a real FF
      so FF12 is FF11
      FF13 is thus FF12
      ff14 is not real FF
      so versus 13/15 is the real ff13 now
      type0 is made a full console game instead a handheld and is the real ff14
      ff16 is not ff instead sop ffo is made as 15th ff
      7r is not real ff instead whatever ff they wouldve made instead is the real ff16

        ATB is at worst boring, I think it was a failed experiment because all ATB does is introduce a lot of dead time in the game, but at least the game is still turn based in a way so you are still having real tactics happen potentially.

                ff16 was made by having only the MC playable and that was told since the game was announced so that means that there aren't any plans of having more characters than clive under player's control (except torgal's commands) so that part is finished. I don't get what makes the "no party = unfinished game" argument valid in your head. Please explain...

                Actually ffxv since tabata was announced as directed was stated to have only noctis playable while the rest are AI but even then they are a full party with stats and ability and weapon equipment and accessories and skills and hp bars and can use items on them and they do team attacks and can give commands to all of them

                ff16 has no party and is therefore incomplete

                by your own fricking logic ffxv isnt even incomplete because all of them are playable anyway and done for free and has been that way for over 6 years now

                mainline FF are supposed to have parties
                ff16 does not have a real party and torgal isnt even really a party member since its just an extension of clive since all 3 things it does are only for clive with no stats or anything attached

                When you have a game as fast as DMC/Bayonetta/XVI or the majority of action rpg/hack&slash play out, stamina and mp are useless mechanics and would only serve to slow down the player. To get around the issue of spamming the same strongest moves (you know, the very same type of limiting factor you use in your examples) we now have cooldowns.

                >ff16 has no party and is therefore incomplete

                but party was never intended so there isn't in the completion que.
                they intended to have a specific amount of playable characters.
                That number is 1.
                Playable character available = 1 as intended.
                Project completed?
                How does this make it incomplete.

                >by your own fricking logic ffxv isnt even incomplete because all of them are playable anyway and done for free and has been that way for over 6 years now

                If they left it like release day where you could only control Noctis and give commands to the rest of the party then it'd be complete but they didn't left it that way. A year later they made party member playable.

                then why are they trying to call it a party? stop coping because ff16 is a failure of a ff
                its objective unfinished because it has no party, they make ff16 unfinished on purpose

                so by your logic ff7 was incomplete because launch japan ff7 didn't have zacks death scene

                kh2 is incomplete because roxas boss fight and lingering will and cave of remenerence and org 13 data fights and an additional 30 minutes of story cutscenes and the actual true secret ending movie were only added in kh2fm 2 years after kh2 released

                Because they wanted to expand on the side stuff in the game
                their functionality as a party is literally identical, their combat as a party when switched simply added more combat variety, the actual party foundation is identical to base game because it already had a fully fleshed out party

                ff16 meanwhile has no party

                if you made ff16 a visual novel and removed combat you'd defend that too because youre a brainless cultist

                Unless you have something to provide then the line can be drawn anywhere from person to person.
                I could say FFXV doesn't have a proper party because the first 10 games gave me control over what actions my teammates would take, whereas FFXV gave the bros some autonomy since it was an action game. This take would be as valid as yours.

                can manually aim it to target like DD magic or lock on select target to instacast it like in KH
                uses elemency mana points to craft
                in addition you have mp for warp magic, warpstrike, phase, ring magic with holy, death and alterna

    I think it's really unfair that so many people are hating this game just because it's a temporary Sony exclusive, aside from those that hate it because it's not 'diverse' enough. I mean, it's not the game's fault and you can play it later on PC. And judging from the things developers have said, there is a lot of passion behind this project.

      explained in ch1 and ch2
      irrelevant, no different to when cid or whoever else leaves ff16s failure of a party and none of that is important to noctis story in being true king
      ch10 and ch12 already explains ravus was sentenced to death and blamed for the attack on altissia
      literally in the game as he literally tells you in chapter13, as does Bahamut and as does talcott in chapter 14 and as does the cosmogony books throughout the game
      because theyre not main story important theyre side characters

      he has more backstory present than sephiroth or kefka did in their debut games

    Reading some of the previews, it seems like there is more character establishment and plot in the prologue of FF16 than the entirety of FF15.

    I have my doubts game journos would be able to beat a PS2 game.

    I'm kinda confused, Clive's magic attack in between melee is like Nero's sword-charge gimmick where you have to time it on hit/animation or it's just input?

    Why make it a PS5 exclusive though? The know that they are eventually going to release it on PC/steam anyway. Its like they are intentionally alienating 2/3 of market for no good reason. They are basically leaving a bunch of money on the table and hoping that if they come back later that it may still be there. From a business perspective it just seems moronic, you should always want to maximize your reach/accessibility of any product that you sell. Otherwise you are actively choosing to make less money.

      Square gets support from Sony on developing the game, Square only has to worry about developing for one platform during the development cycle. Sony has no doubt paid for, or paid for a good chunk, marketing.
      It also isn't moronic because if they take a year or so to port it then they're going to catch people who would double dip and bought the game twice. Once a year ago on the console launch and then a year later on PC.
      Look at how well P5R's port did, despite it taking years after the fact and even being on game pass.

      Because Sony paid for it along a support team to help out with their platform. Probably offered more than enough for SE to consider going exclusive for longer than 6 months. Maybe Sony still understands "FF" has mostly been synonymous with Playstation ever since FF7 but they are also aware of it's diminishing brand power they didn't go full 100% exclusive.

      Starvation is good for games, look at AAA games anon. When you have a winner, and you deliver on one platform, you are able to generate the overwhelming praise, and envy that will self perpetuate until one year later, then praise hits the game again when everyone experiences it. That's how much SE is banking on the success of their game, and why not? They took the best lessons given from recent games, smoothed out their shitty engine that took them a decade, and put a guy at the lead who revived a literally dead MMO who has had years of game development experience.

      The last point is so important you might not fully comprehend what it means. You could of given him Halo for example and he would have saved the series after 3, just by his ability to pick the right people for a team.

    considering that PS2 was the last console generation with any soul, yes
