FF16

Really didn't see anything appealing in that even slightly. Can't believe that trailer was so long and showed so little, though. Never in my life did I think I'd be so bored during an FF trailer that I'd actually need to start skipping through it.

And we still don't even know what the frick the gameplay of this game is. That's very very telling. They seem to think anyone cares about this supposed story or these knockoff characters, but they have to be the driest that have ever come out of Japan, honestly. I can't be the only one that thinks this voice acting is pretty terrible too, can I? You have bored British voice actors lifelessly uttering lines from the sheet while their minds drift off somewhere else. It's like they are trying to mimic FFXII, but have absolutely no clue how to do it or how to write at all.

      Or in the case of FF13, select attack over and over, and the game chooses the most optimal attack patterns for you, literally no reason to think at all.

    Really the only complaint I'd have with what I see is why it looks like a last-gen game, but we haven't seen what the scale of the environments/combat encounters look like, and whether the game is targeting 60fps.

And each other gay would complain about the same thing those gays praised. Well, join the turn-based gays, the command-based gays, the gacha gays and the MMO gays, because 16 ain't any of that shit.

                no, because the xv characters were advertised as playable from the start before that was cut so they could shill dlc. then they added them back in the game.

                no as a thing you had in previous dmc you now have to buy even after already having dmc5
                playable character is the extent of gameplay dmc as what a party is in ff
                ergo being playable or not in dmc is akin to party members in a ff being playable
                ergo its literally the same fricking thing
                it is irrelevant that dmc doesn't have a party, that not even the point you moron.
                the point is something dmc fans already had in previous games was taken from them and forced to pay extra long after launch to play as them again
                while in 15 literally nobody played versus so nobody has any right to complain about them not being playable at launch when nobody had experienced them before so you didn't get anything taken from you, and they still added character switch for free to play as the whole party
                the gameplay they have in xv isnt even what they were like in that barebones 30 seconds of footage we see them as in that versus trailer
                and again they were all made playable in base game FOR FREE not to shill any dlc
                their dlc were all brand new self contained sidestories in new locations against new bosses and not anything ever even planned to be in the game when they were making base game
                they made all that dlc after the fact and only started planning it when xv was wrapping up in the last few months of dev

    The reason why this game is fricking failing is because they refuse to show off the world in the last 2 trailers as i feel an interesting world is what gains interest

    All we have seen is either a bland battlefield where a war takes place or inside castle/village walls. I complained about this issue when the second trailer came out and a bunch of Yoshi P dicksuckers jumped down my throat. Nobody even knew if it was open world or not until they had to announce it cause they showed so little

    And when they showed interesting locations it was THROUGH FRICKING SCREENSHOTS. Yoshi P shouldnt of produced this game. The hype has never even existed in the slightest and we are apparently 9 months from release. I cant believe Yoshi P killed final fantasy when he shouldve revived it

      The game is like a year away when the 2nd trailer was released you donut. If they release gameplay trailers now, what are they going to show for the rest of the bloody year. Especially next year's E3/Summer Games Fest.

        7remake had a showcase at the e3 before it launched (almost a year before) to show off its gameplay and then did another at TGS (6 months before)
        That isn't an excuse.

          Frick sakes you really are a dumb piece of shit. VIIR's release date is BEFORE the E3 of the year it is released. Of course its going to use the E3 of the previous year to showcase its gameplay and have a big information blowout. XVI is obviously going to be AFTER E3 of next year. Gee weeez, I wonder why aren't they showing off gameplay just yet.

            By this logic, XVI should have been shown off at TGS. Unless you think the game is going to be delayed.
            >I wonder why aren't they showing off gameplay just yet.

                So? Did it died because viewership plummeted? It died because of circumstances that are out of their control. And they can't have an online only event because that would conflict with Keighley's Summer Games Fest. But frick it, make whatever shit up inside your dumb, moronic head. Done talking to a twat that convinces himself in his own made up delusion.

                Because they already had a full gameplay demonstration at the E3. There was nothing stopping SE from doing the same for XVI at TGS.
                >make whatever shit up inside your dumb, moronic head
                You worked yourself up by making up excuses for XVI and couldn't think of anything good. Despite games before it showing off gameplay well before they ever came out.

                The guy was their janitor when it came to throwing out releases, because Nomura sure wasn't consistently releasing big projects outside of kingdom hearts in a timely manner.

                literally nothing outside the game is required to understand anything in the story
                everything to do with the actual story in the game is first introduced in the game and resolves in the game

                tenebrae was shown once for like 5 seconds like a few months before release and you still do more there than 90% of what you do in midgar which is just jpg backgrounds and hallways not an actual city

                you can't even explain how kingsglaive is required to understand anything
                so regis dies? ok? we know he dies because the game lets us know, there's nothing else to know about that
                ravus lost his arm? ok we know because townsfolk, news reports and the party all talk about ravus being in the city and losing his arm getting it replaced with a magitek one, nothing outside the game is required for that

                niflheim stole the crystal? you literally learn that in the game
                luna has the ring of the lucii? literally her first present time cutscene in the game shows her showing it to gentiana and nodding, the fricking movie doesn't even mention she is the oracle which is what her actual role in the story is which the game mentions, the party mentions, every fricking chapter and scenes shown of her doing oracle duties and townsfolk talking about her Oracle duties

                FF15 was generally considered a 7-8/10 and even people who played all of it came away hating it for the ending. It was a success from a sales perspective, but that was off of hype. FF16 is not hyped because FF15 failed to live up to its own.

                The XV ending is the one thing pretty much everybody can agree was stellar and one of the strongest in the series. Say what you will about the rest, but it really stuck the landing.

                This is why ff12 is the most beloved and remembered of the franchise huh

                Ironically XII does have a good example of strong character writing complementing the setting and worldbuilding: Vayne and co. Archadia has an excellent story of how the setting shapes people and relationships and vice versa. Problem is, 90% of this story is confined into the Ultimania and we follow some ignorant paper-thin chucklefricks instead.

                This is why I think execution is the most important

For example, even though FFXIV has been successfully rebuilt, it still went down in flames as a firestorm in online gaming history. Also, while I see it as a good game that was challenging, and there are many people who like FFXV and continue to support it, many point out that FFXV feels out of it's depth when it's just the base game without DLC. If you're in charge of a new entry, you have to accept these as fact.

                no as a thing you had in previous dmc you now have to buy even after already having dmc5
                playable character is the extent of gameplay dmc as what a party is in ff
                ergo being playable or not in dmc is akin to party members in a ff being playable
                ergo its literally the same fricking thing
                it is irrelevant that dmc doesn't have a party, that not even the point you moron.
                the point is something dmc fans already had in previous games was taken from them and forced to pay extra long after launch to play as them again
                while in 15 literally nobody played versus so nobody has any right to complain about them not being playable at launch when nobody had experienced them before so you didn't get anything taken from you, and they still added character switch for free to play as the whole party
                the gameplay they have in xv isnt even what they were like in that barebones 30 seconds of footage we see them as in that versus trailer
                and again they were all made playable in base game FOR FREE not to shill any dlc
                their dlc were all brand new self contained sidestories in new locations against new bosses and not anything ever even planned to be in the game when they were making base game
                they made all that dlc after the fact and only started planning it when xv was wrapping up in the last few months of dev

                And that “silent approval” is much smaller than you think. It barely exists. FFXVI has received the most average reaction to the trailers ive ever seen for a brand new game in a once massively beloved franchise. It gets memoryholed the day after the trailer releases and i never hear about the game again outside of the talk about the event that the game came from. When people talk about future game releases, not one time do i hear this game

                You clearly are a newbie to this franchise who jumped into this franchise only for the MMO because you forget the massive hype FF versus 13/FFXV got for many years. This game doesnt even come close to 5% of its hype. Final Fantasy was once one of the biggest gaming franchises alive and you treat this nonexistant hype like it exists when even indie games get more. Even FF7R sold pretty poorly for a Final Fantasy game and that game had DECADES of fricking hype. Why do you think this game will not be the worst selling mainline FF? Enjoy your “silent approval” headcanon

                I've been playing FF since IV on a modded PAL Super Nintendo so it could play NTSC cartridges.

                You seem to have absolutely no notion that it's 2022 and how fractured and bubbled internet communities are now compared to 20, 10, even 5 years ago. How gaming demographic has changed. It's completely normal FF isn't the big thing it was in the late 90's. Back then it was a big fish in a little pond.
                It's normal long-term hypes are no longer a thing because dev hells like Versus XIII/XV proved it's a bad idea to announce and market games too early in advance, not to mention the recent Covid impact.

                But still, even in 2022, one thing hasn't changed, in fact it has gotten even more pronounced: for every "hobbyist" gamer who watches every trailer the moment they release, who discusses them on forums and imageboards, there are two dozen who ignore marketing and just buy because of brand name or cool box art and probably never even finish the game. Yet they'll still buy the next one.

                Depressing, I know.

                I disagree. Games like Zelda can absolutely dominate that hype even more after 30+ years. You forget that the hype for FFXV wasnt that long ago and happened during this more modern gaming age. The franchise is dead and at this point i wouldnt be surprised if Xenoblade 3 and Persona 6s sales will surpass this

      You're literally complaining about trailer content not spoiling the entire game. Trailers that have specicially been 1/ an early announcement trailer, 2/ a trailer focusing on eikons, 3/ a trailer focusing on the setting and story.
      While we're still 8-10 months away from release.

        This is a terrible argument cause GoW Ragnarok and BOTW 2 already had hype before because their previous games already gained that hype for the sequels

        Final Fantasy games also used to gain hype for years because of all the cool and interesting stuff theyd show. Now that FF no longer gets hype, you have to fricking earn it again by showing FRICKING SOMETHING ANYTHING INTERESTING. This shit about MUH SPOILERS is the dumbest shit fricking ever and i know ur 100% a yoshi p FFXIV freak that defends his every move.

              FF XVI is still capable of coasting to millions of sales off the name alone, even with it launching only on PS5.
              If it turns out shit, XVII might not be able to do the same, 3 bad mainline games are too much for the series to handle. But Final Fantasy as a brand name is in the same ballpark as World of Warcraft, and it took multiple expansions of a downward spiral before the dam broke.

    , I feel Masayoshi Soken is very much at the top of his game with his composition skills (his work on the Shadowbringers OST has blown me away, and his utter devotion to music just astound me, he composes game music because he loves to do it, not because it's 'his job' - I mean, for instance he composed the battle theme for the Seat of Sacrifice trial battle from his hospital bed while battling cancer! - he's thankfully now in remission), but game music design requires a certain skillset seperate from conventional composing - instrumentation is usually just sampled at most or completely synthetic, but modern sound processing technology makes modern game music still vastly superior to the beeps and squeeks of the old 8bit chiptune days.
    FFXIV has one of the best soundtracks in the FF series. Music is one of my favourite parts of the FF series (I admit I actually spend more time just listening to FF OSTs than I do actually playing the games!), and FFXIV is right up there with the best Nobuo Uematsu and his contemporaries have done. Of course I'm not a fan of every track, but all in all the quality of the music is exemplary. But that is just my personal opinon.

    The game is literally 8+ months away you sperg ass tards. Maybe even 10.
    I don't get why mfs on Ganker want to see every single thing before release. I want to be surprised.
    We've seen gameplay, story, characters, environments. We know what the game is going to be like. All I'm really hoping for is some direct feed gameplay of the game being played and I don't need it 10 months from release.

    These trailers are uninspired and colorless in my opinion. Unlike previous titles, this game lacks spectacle and, dare I say, it lacks fantasy. It lacks the dreamlike vibe we often associate with the series.

    It's not about wanting to get spoilers from trailers, it's about presentation.
    So far, all we know is that there will be politics and a DMC tier combat system.

    Previous FF titles would tease a romance, the interesting locations, the relations between possible party members... but this game doesn't even have party members. Are they fricking out of their minds? I don't think you can have a mainline FF game without a party at all. That's absurd

                Sorry, not that anon. Excuse me. What? That's not his goal at all. Motherfricker, he wants to ram a fricking meteor and open a fricking "wound" to suck up all the lifestream and him at the "center". He's not at all interested in restoring the planet. This is why Jenovagays like me, debate to this day who the fricks controlling Seph. Why does he share the same ambition as this alien that wants to suck up the planet's lifeforce and leave.

                Maybe I remember wrong, but before him freeing Jenova, that was his goal seeing how he's mad at Shinra for destroying the planet and imprisoning his mother (whom he thought was cetra).

                Huh, I genuinely never heard about this. He was angry at Shinra because they hid her from him. He always had a complex where he feels he is superior to others. Because he kept winning wars and killing people all by himself (before CC cucked this). Once he knew Shinra was hiding her mother, who he thought was the super special, ancient, Cetra, that superiority complex of his got worse.

                the first time you summoned ramuh in xv is literally a story sequence in chapter 5 where the fight at the niflheim base will only end by summoning ramuh which will 100% show up for everyone
                anytime after that you can proc summons which actual feel like fricking gods coming to aid you
                and not this ff16 explosion laser everywhere so nothing is impressive

                also the first time you summon anything in xv itself was in the demo where again ramuh will 100% be summoned when you return to fight deadeye after obtaining him

                no because it has the inverse effect of where everything is trying to be bombastic that nothing stands out or has any impact

                all that summon shit in 16 feels samey and not special that we're seeing it
                in xv seeing a summon feels like an event
                you're out beating up crabs doing daily life shit then god shows up and obliterates them
                that has impact because of the juxtaposition and contrast

                in ff16 seeing summons is the norm and all just blends together so nothing feels impactful when seeing them

                Clinically depressed and has almost no self worth but acts fairly cheerful, loyal, deathly serious, loves animals and all living things, enjoys some bits of fun when he can get it, desperate to meet everybody's expectations while also having no idea how he can do that all at the same time, very unhealthy self-perception in general, loves peace and quiet but never gets it.
                Noctis is actually one of the most layered and nuanced protags FF has had so far.

                >he's mad at Shinra for destroying the planet
                Huh, I genuinely never heard about this. He was angry at Shinra because they hid her from him. He always had a complex where he feels he is superior to others. Because he kept winning wars and killing people all by himself (before CC cucked this). Once he knew Shinra was hiding her mother, who he thought was the super special, ancient, Cetra, that superiority complex of his got worse.

                Sephiroth never gave a shit about the planet's health or Shinra's atrocities. Not in OG, not in CC, not in the Ultimanias. It was always all about him and muh mother. He does rant about humans being lazy and shit before his literal dive into full insanity, but it's only in the context of them supposedly "stealing" his and Jenova's birthright.

                So what you're saying is you want animu characters who visually correspond to rote character archetypes so you can immediately tell their "personality" at a glance instead of getting to know them and having their development defy expectations?

                And this is just from a few lines of dialogue and basic description. Just because you accustomed yourself to watching anime characters over-exaggerate themselves to show their personality, doesn't mean other stoic characters don't have one.

                That's because you're too autistic to understand social cues. He obviously bowed because he knew he's not on the same footing as Joshua. Just because he's not a bastard, doesn't mean he's not an outsider. He could possibly be another son the archduke "adopted" to have a literal weapon of mass destruction in his arsenal. Remember, he was "suppose" to be the one who has the power. Why is there even a "guarantee" in the first place.

                You do understand that there's a marked difference between a game being in pre-procution and one being in production?
                Both are "in development" but that way you can literally have just 4-6 people planned to be lead devs having weekly meetups for 3-4 years before the actual team gets assembled and count that as "being in development".

                Like I said, the only difference between XV and XVI was XV was announced properly earlier.

                a great deal of good that has done for the industry why don't you add
                square enix especially, being moronic and announcing games way too early, which yoshi is now breaking the practice of because its absolutely stupid to do so for any game
                it should be commonplace in the industry to only announce a game close to release, not years ahead of time

            The XV cast has a personality, the problem is how the plot is kinda inexistent so the only way you get any development or interactions is running in the big zones, and 13 cast has a personality, if you like it or not is another problem

              I think you gays are confusing troupes with personality. Doesn't mean troupes aren't personality, but they're personality on steroids, so to speak. They're commonly used because they're easily identifiable.

            In special editions, not at launch. dmc3, dmc4 and dmc5 all added him in the special edition. So its not breaking expecations.
            XV though advertised them and then took them away.

            versus isnt xv
            versus was cancelled
            ever since 2012 only noctis was playable in the builds they made while the bros were AI and they focused on that direction when recreating everything from scratch when they moved to luminous

            they were all made playable for free you seething frick, literally anyone who launches the game now has them able to be playable by default even without having any dlc

            there is no gaping holes you moron
            literally all 3 dlc are PARALLEL SIDESTORIES TO SHIT ALREADY HAPPENING IN THE GAME AS NOCTIS

            no they weren't retsrd
            they only started planning doing a set of dlc around Q2 2016 when they were in the optimisation and debugging phase of the game and so they ADDED sections in the game to frane those dlc around, they didn't cut them out from shit that was already there

            in 2015 at tgs they straight up said they had never had any plans for Gilgamesh in the game and that they might consider it after the games done
            in 2015 footage prompto is on the train when shiva freezes it meaning him getting pushed off the train to frame his dlc wasn't a thing back then

            Many things in FF XIV can be criticized and they get criticized in the XIV threads every single fricking day.

            But any time XIV or XVI get brought up in other FF threads (or their own) on Ganker you get Barry and his copycats shitting up the threads with ad hominems and misinformation, and rendering it completely impossible to have any discussion until it's outside Aussie posting hours.

                Clive seems bland because he's literally gotten zero screentime so far.
                Which I acknowledge is a mistake marketingwise, but that doesn't allow for value judgements about the actual character in the actual game that is a year away from launch.

                It is just weird because we are used to seeing a main character and his party a lot in ff trailers
                So on this one we have action combat,not a defined party and a Mc that doesn't appears or talks much

    This is the first FF game in 20 years that may actually merit some attention after the cringe borefest XV and VIIR have been.

    >Actual fantasy setting
    >Not open world but areas divided by crystals/ eikons instead
    >Classic art design instead of zippers and belts and some areas have actual personality
    >No Nomrua

    Personally i think it should be even more stylized and i would certainly rather have classic combat back but, provided it`s more story driven and has less menial side quests than the latest entries, i `d be willing to compromise enough to give it a fighting chance.

    FF16's Ambition trailer was perhaps too ambitious. Look at the FF8 trailer, it didn't take much to sell people on cool visuals, interesting combat, romance, drama, and a duel.

    FF16 is trying to sell us on a plot, and a world and depth, and characters, and gameplay. By attempting so much it's taking focus away from the strongest parts and any mistakes or failures undermine confidence.

    We didn't need to have an explanation of each kingdom, with each ruler shown, and some out of context line of dialogue to explain them. Just have the narrator tell us how there are many kingdoms/civilizations that arise around their respective crystal and their interactions and vying against each other are complex and dangerous. We don't need to see key dramatic moments and turns in the story showing a character dies.

    I'm fine with some darker aspects, but the action had so much darkness devastation and squalor that it made the world seem like it has less wonder and interest. It makes me think it's some uninteresting wasteland. It it trying to be Devil May Dark Souls with Final Fantasy 14 stories and magic crystals? Dark Souls may be dark and hopeless but it shows the world had wonder, beauty, grace and dignity that was lost.

    The combat gave me the impression of being too flashy. It makes me worry the player doesn't get that much control over it. It makes me think the combat will be too floaty, unrealistic, and focused on show that it won't feel quite as visceral and meaningful. Square Enix may not have the experience of making a DMC like game actually fun.

    So TL;DR it's more ambitious than they may be able to pull off.

      The term you're looking for is "focus". VIII marketing clearly knew what it was selling: here's your cool soldier protag, here is your mysterious love interest, here's the beautiful war-torn world, and here's the witch you want to kill. In fact, all mainline FFs until XVI have had no problem really selling the basic premise with laser-sharp focus, except for maybe IX (buy this game to... kidnap the princess?). XVI, on the other hand, seems all over the place.

      The marketing isnt great. We have 3 trailers and they show:
      >people talking politics (boring for zoomers)
      >crazy kaiju fights (to weird for normies)
      >dmc style combat (hated by FF boomers)
      >very grounded and semi realistic artstyle (hated by the anime gays)
      >not a lot of waifus (coomers are disappointed)

      At least the graphics gays stopped talking shit after the 2nd trailer.

      I personally like the grand scope epic fantasy shit but the combat is very meh and thats all I know. There is no real gameplay, no exploration, no dungeons, no city gameplay, no questing, no leveling, no itemization, no inventory, no party, no talking to npc´s, etc shown, the shit you actually do in rpg games. For all we know this thing can be a FF13 style corridor game. Who knows?

      Just show some fricking gameplay outside of battles.

          Not him, but that's actually not much time at all considering we're talking about the very basics. We literally haven't seen ANY RPG gameplay or even normal dialogue scenes so far. The game could be one straight corridor with one hour of scattered 2-minute cutscenes for all we know. I don't think it is, but we have no visual proof it isn't.

            Honestly sometimes it just sounds like some people are still on copium and hoping the game will somehow be something it obviously isn't.

            FF XVI's gameplay? Here goes, from what I pieced together from the trailers and interviews:
            Linear corridors and setpieces alternating with Witcher 2/FF XII style open areas and towns/quest hubs. Classic FF style exploration in those zones, hunt monsters and loot chests/hidden items.
            DMC style combat with 3 equippable eikons at a time and interchangeable special ability slots, consumables for hp recovery/damage and stagger boosts. Dog companion who is basically just a cooldown attack/stun/stagger increase, think Atreus in GoW.
            No party members though in some fights Dominants will pop up in eikon form as a LB attack, bes case scenario the game has short segments where you control another Dominant with a limited moveset for a short while.
            No dialogue options, completely linear.

        Okay then, tell me how I can stop being overleveled
        Am I just supposed to wear the nixperience band right from the very start?

          your damage output and stats is largely boosted by weapon loadout but yes nyxperience band as early as possible will prevent overlevelling

          god that reminds me of the time I posted a few webms showing FFXV's final boss being beaten in 5 button presses
          after all was said and done apparently none of it counted because I happened to be like 2 levels higher than the "recommended level" for Ardyn (frick me for going out my way to do optional hunts and stuff, right?)
          you can't even find out what this "recommended level" is supposed to be from the game itself, I'm pretty sure this was some Prima guide book level shit, lol

    remember the simple times when final fantasy games were set in, well, fantasy-like settings?
    what happened to all that? what is this really lame medieval high realistic crap? i cant even tell ffxv and ffxvi apart

      Low fantasy is also fantasy, anon.
      That said, it's weird how much XVI seems like T-0 so far except kinda muddled.

      >chosen fighters that transform into FF summons in exchange for their apparently rather unvalued lives
      >one country is focused on tradition, one is ambitious (which is the empire, obviously), and another is reclusive
      >crystals are fricking shit up
      And you've also got the Starscourge to make things more fun.

        Also it's all in the wake of a highly advanced floating island/spacefaring civ that crashed and burned 1500 years ago.

        are fricking shit up
        crystals are actually saving people by giving them the only hospitable land left. I know there will be some twist, and im very sure the empire isnt the real bad boy, more like the first half antagonist. They will pull some studio trigger shit twist "actually we are trying to safe you from the aliums(demons/ancients)"
