FF16

First time seeing a video game marketed with so much emphasis on words "shit" and "frick" being said throughout the story mode that's not GTA.

            It makes me sad that Kujiraoka was a member of the Tokyo Team and sullied his old group. Nomura really shouldn't let them work on one off projects so hastily. Even Mitsunori Takahashi and Abs failed with RRR and Flame X Blaze. And now we have Matsuoka, the gummi ship guy, crashing and burning with The First Soldier.

            None of my posts were screen-capped. I simply said that Jill kills Clive at the end and this is what Revenge truly means. "The revenge of love against lovers."
            The reason? Because Clive's powers come from that ancient civilization, he is their weapon.
            My leak is, of course, likely to be true as well. But it's simply too unbelievable.

                Kinda baffled as to why put them in the first place besides the interactive cinematic aspect, it's like they changed their minds about QTE's mid development or something.

                Anonymous

                Probably because early game (and unlike in the media tour demo) you'll only have access to Phoenix and then Garuda. The QTEs are there to serve as "moment of awesome" setpieces before you unlock enough of the toolkit to pull off big combos and eikonic ability chains.

                The eikon circle abilities also seem to have contextual uses and probably take the place of the QTEs later on for "moments of awesome".
                Like using the Garuda's circle ability right when the first half of the stagger bar breaks turns it into a takedown/stun.

    Versus 13 should've ran on an updated version of KH2's engine that would've been ported to the PS3. Early on in development, Nomura should've scrapped the idea of a seamless overworld and went with a semi-open world approach.

          I don't like Unreal. Everything running on that engine starts to look samey, especially when it comes to lighting.
          I mean, it makes sense, but when almost everything starts to use the same engine, you start to appreciate the differences some in-house engines bring to the table.

            You're right on the downside of using UE, alongside the shader stutter and middling optimization. However it is efficient compared to the numerous in-house engines that brought headaches and caused development troubles.

          Stuff like GoW Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West etc. were all supposed to be next gen PS5 exclusive system sellers. Covid and the woldwide microchip shortage fricked up PS5 production and everything was changed to crossgen.

            Exactly. These redesigns seem to be why Roberto Ferrarri left with Nomura. He had misunderstanding after misunderstanding with Yusuke Naora, who did the bulk of redesigns.

            Naora left Square Enix after 22 years at the company in 2016-2017. Square still reached out to him for art stuff for their mobile games, but he was never contavted for 7R even if he was the art director for the original game.

    The english localization was doomed once since they brought on Koji Fox to handle it. This redditor produces sub-crunchyroll-tier localizations filled with stale jokes, memes, lore errors, omissions and sprinkles them with some fan-fiction to spice things up.
    Every single translation in FFXIV is consistent with the Japanese translation EXCEPT English, because they have a 'direct relationship' with the lore team, and nobody checks his work (nobody at SE gives a frick about english) so Koji's team can do whatever they want.
    When you're playing XIV, you're reading fan fiction filtered through this glorified english teacher gentlesir and the same story is going to play out with XVI.

      I'm not saying you're wrong about ffxiv, but, in ffxvi the script was written in Japanese, rewritten in English, and then that translation was translated to Japanese so it can match the JP dubbing. The "og" script is already gone.
