          nta, and I am sure that the game will come with a performance mode, but anon this build must absolutely be representative of the final game. Not only because it's the demo that they're giving the journalist to sell you on the game, but also because that hard 30 to 60 shift does not seem like something they would just come up for the journalist alone, and framerate is like the very first thing you decide on before making a game. All of this said, I'm sure the game will be great, though I will say it's a very bizarre design choice.

            Honestly I'd welcome options like that on PC. We're pulling huge amounts of power in video games with high frame rates so having an automated fps cap depending on if you need it or not would be a neat feature.
            In this game though it's probably just down to wanting to show nice graphics, with a sharp drop in environmental quality when you enter combat.

                Having better graphics has nothing to do with the gameplay, ARPGs cannot move forward from their SNES counterparts cause the system is way too simple.

        Flopped due to lack of marketing, which is a disturbing trend with Nomura games in the Matsuda years. The guy really wanted to prove Square wasn't just "anime shit" back then and break Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed numbers overseas (hence the retool) and so he pushed those games less. I wonder if Kiryu will put a resolution to Nomura's endgame.

                I still don't know who Stellagay is.

                >not knowing who Stellagay is
                Just think of him as very, very excited for this game. He made three threads for this game in one day.

                Nta but i'd also like a qrd.

        Yoshida cultists have a victim complex the size of mount Everest. They're unironically convinced that all the Ganker jannies are coordinating with FFXIV forums shitposters to suppress them.

          It's been proven for years that there's at least one dedicated Ganker janny that stifles any positive FF discussion, especially about the MMO. To deny this is newbiegery or just being moronic.

          Fair point, but he's not promising good writing in this paragraph, he's promising a complete story that is the main focus of the game. Which is exactly what every GOTY-bait Sony exclusive under the sun does.
          And there's nothing wrong with wanting to make a game like that, don't get me wrong, I just don't get what is supposed to set it apart in this case. It's just copying other successful formulas for every single one of its elements, from combat to setting.

          Combat has never been FF's strong suit. It's just an adventure with pretty locations. FFXV delivered where it matteted. To me it was a good game, but too small and short to be a great game. FFXVI is just absolute shit, degenerate character = degenerate game. The only people pushing it are those who look as disgusting as the main character.

    For the last time. IT DOES NOT MATTER what the FPS is as long as it's playable. 30 FPS has never been a problem for generations and the only people who consistently b***h and moan the FPS not being at or above 60FPS are people who don't play games for fun in the first place (i.e PC types who have more fun in building ). If the whole experience is ruined or hindered because you just can't be bothered to play a video game for the GAME aspect, then you need to get out of this hobby.

    So the frick what if FFXVI runs in 30fps? Calm down.

      FF Mode sounds great. Wish they had a regular hard mode too for a first playthrough. I don't mind the "first playthrough is the tutorial" DMC mentality, but in that series this tutorial lasts 8 hours, not 30+.

        They probably figured that the hard mode combat AI didn't make for an enjoyable experience with your limited toolset during an initial playthrough. Fighting hordes of super aggressive enemies when you have no ways of controlling and clearing out crowds usually devolves into long and tedious hit and run affairs.

          Oh, for sure, I'm not asking for FF Mode to be unlocked from the start, just a regular Hard Mode that is the current Story Mode with enemies being slightly more aggressive and dealing more damage, as I'm sure the default mode will be braindead, it's FF tradition.
          I'm really glad they made NG- available from the start in the PC version of FFXII, it's by far the best method of experiencing that game.

      Many reasons. There's a general stigma around Final Fantasy due to 13 and 15, it's a timed Sony exclusive so it attracts all the console warrior cultists, and of course the mega schizo Bazztek. It's also an AAA game and may or may not have a homosexual character so that only adds fuel to the fire.

      homie I would love it if FF tries to be fun and comically like FFVII but no, this game is trying to be as mature, dark, gritty, and edgy as possible.

        FF7 literally had characters having schizo breakdowns, government genocide, face extinction, implied spouse beatings and even fricking colonization as major themes, final fantasy has always had dark tones and lighthearted moments you are a dumb b***h

          Yes but the comical moments overshadow the mature theme, hence its lower rating. Dunkey explained the balance well. Ff16 doesn't have any as far as I have seen.

                God of War did drop its sense of scale in the reboot though, so FFXVI surpassing it is not a high bar; due the direction of the camera always following Kratos around the gigantic field of view found in the previous GoW series was discarded. Ifrit vs. Titan seems like a step up scale from Kratos vs. Chronos, you can’t see anything like that in the new GoW series.

                His interviews are negative marketing and I have long abandoned those, only focus on the actual footages of the game. What he is making is an action game, barely an ounce of RPG is recognized. The game will be good but the producer and his cultists are detractors.

Choosing your preferred gender, your looks, voice, height, it's not hard to see why they wouldn't find that sort of thing appealing. I would even go as far as to say you'll start to see more and more people demand character creation in most games and with usual same excuse how the already set main protag looks too generic or too "white".

    30fps is massively jarring. Play Elden Ring and then go back and play Bloodborne (30fps lock). It's like you're playing the game in slow motion. I was planning a replay but after realising how bad 30fps is I gave up.

    No idea how I dealt with that back in the day but it's really not good for the current gen consoles.

                This interview has got me excited.

                Most people think it was G'raha's or Ardberts VA's since both of them have big TV roles but considering the lack of 14 VA's in rest of the main cast I'm inclined to believe it could have been someone else.

          That’s kind of true. The Versus XIII team got shuffled around from XIII to XIV and had to build an engine twice before they could finally start development proper and been then Tabata and his team had been moved in by Matsuda to “assist” with the transition from Versus to XV. Can’t really blame that on he current XIV team though, or the poor quality that XV would eventually release in.

            I've just never seen him bring it up in defense of FFXV before. I'm sure he'll make some excuse about how Versus never took form because of Nomura being incompetent rather than his team being taken away.

              Barry has repeatedly insisted that despite the obvious shakeup, it's the same team. But he never realizes that key people were demoted, least of all Yuichi Kanemori, the battle director who became the lead enemy programmer who then left after Duscae. This was the last of the Nomura team, while grunts such as Takayuki Kanbayashi were suddenly given lead roles despite having no experience just because Tabata wanted to flatten the hierarchy.

              He also says that if Tokyo Team lackeys are there, it's a Tokyo Team game and it's better than Versus because all the harder edged stuff like grim reaper worship and political commentary are boring.

              Unless Mitsunori Takahashi, Yuji Abe, Daisuke Sase, Takeo Kujiraoka, and Masanori Sato along with Kanemori worked on the game as battle system or content designers, then Tokyo Team battle devs did not work on the game.

              15 has a stronger Tokyo Team connection because two of them were on it, but Forspoken does not. None of the aformentioned battle designers worked on the game, as Kanbayashi was simply an animator and not a battle system developer.

              About Versus never taking form, I'm sure Stellagay can explain this better than I can but Tabata repeatedly called Versus 'barely an idea of a game' and being 20% in development when he began his takeover in 2012. He took shots at it so many times, and Barry uses the claim that Nomura's team was incompetent until Tabata stepped in and made everything work.

                Roberto Ferrari has also said Versus’ development was pretty tumultuous, and he’s still very friendly with Nomura so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to claim that Versus wasn’t coalescing. But it’s hard for the game to come together when you don’t have a fricking team to work on it for six damn years.

                That's right. Not only was there no team for much of the game's development but The teams were even at odds. Ferrari had misunderstandings with Naora who stepped in with Tabata, and after 15 Naora left Square Enix entirely. Ferrari of course is now Nomura's new assistant, a member of the creative /division/ which also includes Nomura's other assistants like Daigo Tsukada, Mihoko Ishii, Gen Kobayashi, and Fumi Nakashima. Itahana is also there too. Nomura is likely in this division himself.

    While that is annoying, if it gets 60 FPS IN COMBAT then I can live with it, you'd probably want 60 FPS IN COMBAT, more so than out of combat, if all you're doing is running around and talking with people. The only time you'd want fluid 60 FPS is in battle, so ultimately I don't see the issue.
