inb4 they release it on the ps4
That's what this article is pretty much telling me. If Jedi Survivor is getting a last gen release, this will as well.
Jedi survivor got it's ps4 release along side the PS5 release or did it get a ps4 release after the ps5 release?
JS seemed to be a next-gen exclusive, but underwhelming sales made EA reconsider, leading to a PS4 port.
>lock it to one system
>then announce last second its not actually going be locked to the system forever
>surprised it doesn't move
You don't buy games on PS5 because you want said game, you just find games to buy to justify the existence of your shitty console.
Literally every game ever made by Squeenix has underperformed according to them.
Man, FFXV really killed the series. XVI didn't stand a chance.
>the ff that had the highest launch sales and still to this date has the strongest post launch sales legs is to blame and not ff16 being unappealing dogshit
nah it couldn't possibly be that hi-
>FFXV made 10 millions in 5+ years
>which is 4 millions off of what FFVII made with all of it's re-releases in 25 years
holy
frick
we literally already have this thread up
stop spamming, barry
first time in my life where a demo scared me off the full game. i would be fine with how pathetically easy the game is to maneuver but if you pair that shit with the mutt-dick sucking the writing is about then you completely lost me.
>lol lets just put sex in every 3 cutscenes so we can keep the sexually frustrated americans engaged
be an actual japanese game for fricks sake! these frickers never cared about JRPG's. why would you try to appeal to them?!
Who wants to put the Gibson screencap embarrassing Mochizuki again
I wonder what they are thinking looking at BG3 PC reception right now
>I wonder what they are thinking looking at BG3 PC reception right now
bu-but turn based games arent supposed to sell like that and wasnt PC dying? maybe following that senile director wasnt a good idea after all...
>pisses off the japanese audience with GoT writing
>pisses off the GoT homosexuals with how ambiguous the late-stage story progress becomes
>pisses off the traditional FF trannies with a DMC combat
>pisses off the combotrannies with a system that plays itself
>only available on the PS5
how could we ever have seen this coming bro's. this game's flop came out of nowhere. you think i'm a rocket scientist or what?! i thought we had a Call of Duty killer on our hands this time
FF16 truly is the DmC devil may cry of ff
Not enough passive aggressive press coverage and interviews for that.
Modern AAA companies with their shit scam tactics and mid products
>MUH EXPECTATIONS WERE NOT MET!!!
Larian where Swen is literally the CEO, programmer, and gamer at the same time for Baldur's Gate 3
>I don't think a lot of people will play BG3, because it's a niche cRPG with turn-based combat and dnd5e rules. I just told my IT guys to expect about 100k player at launch at best. Who outside some fans even want to bother with such kind of niche game
>24 hours after release: *Swen hides in his armor inside the closet after the IT guys were looking for him*
Damn, even Eurogamer is reporting it?
So it want just "anti-Sony, anti-Square Enix" Mochizuki?
Eurogamer gave the game like a 5/10 because lack of nogs
Of course they take anything possible to shit on the game.
Awww geez dood after the complete mismanagement of the IP and the baffling decision to make it exclusive to a struggling console who could have possibly seen this coming?
>FFXVI has underpeformed
>underperformed the high end of expectations
changes it all
reading and spelling are hard, right op?
They didn't go all the way with their advertisement and american consultants just so it can drop like shit one week after it's release. Not to mention that Square's entire stock is rushing down the toilet. What do you wanna call this instead? A little oopsie?!
It literally says it underperformed and the investors are not happy hence stock drop
what happened to ''HUURRR TURN BASED GAMES DONT SELL''
XVI cultists on suicide watch
>Square Enix Holdings Co. shares suffered their worst intraday drop in almost three years, erasing a little over a year’s worth of gains, after the company reported a 79% decline in operating profit.
>Hopes that Final Fantasy XVI would boost sales were dashed by the company’s downbeat earnings report Friday, driving the stock down as much as 15% in Tokyo on Monday. Shares were trading at around ¥5,620 at midday, their lowest since May of last year. Both the Topix Index and MSCI AC Asia Pacific Index were up around 0.3%.
What's next for the sad fricks who post the exact same "SE are delighted with XVI's performance" cope 1000 times a day to pwn Barry with?
Just keep doing it out of delusion, or are they switching to "who even cares about sales anyway?"
We're probably on way to the burning of Barry effigies to please their god levels of cope.
I mean that literally.
There was some Australian anon who made posts about wanting to kill Barry. He was not joking. MMOgays are mentally ill
is it that guy that doxxes barry everytime hes in the thread?
Its fricking creepy at this point and FFXVI schizos are pretty fricking bad
It was more than that. They wrote a rape fantasy story about how they were going to define Barry's body live on stream or something sick like that.
PS5 exclusivity completely fricked them over.
I would have buy the game if it was multiplatform but I'm not buying a fricking shitstation 5 for one game. So I won't get FFXVI
I agree. I was interested in playing it but it basically doesn't exist to me until it's on PC and I imagine quite a few people felt the same in the western market.
FF fans are mostly on PC so I don't know why people think this is a surprise. When it releases on PC it will get to 10 million fast.
not as a big of a flop as forspoken though
Yeah SE sure have been pumping out blunders recently
>circlejerking a schizo
why?
