Final Fantasy XVI Is The Fastest Selling PlayStation 5 Exclusive Ever & The 6th Fastest Selling PlayStation Exclusive!
wow!
anyway, i'm horny. let me head over to furaffinity i'll be back in 5
How did it go?
Any good gay Bahamut lewds yet?
e621 is better
AIIEEEEE IFRIT-sama.... Don't destroy my butthole AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
BARRYBROS WE JUST FRICKING LOST REEEEEEEEE
>The Fastest Selling PlayStation 5 Exclusive Ever
What competition did it have?
That shitty racing game. Astro's whatever the frick, and Demon's Souls remake.
Regardless 3 million in a week is more than FFXV made in a week and it took FFXVI half the time and considerably less budget to make it.
So it's probably already far more successful than FFXV.
XV sold more in one day.
>also on xbox
>Xbox sales were less than half million
try again.
>People got duped into buying this turd
>almost completely killed the series cuz it was so bad
YoshiP has an uphill battle to fight to get the goodwill of the audience back but he is doing it slow and steady
Sad that years later they got duped into buying another turd. Can Final Fantasy ever recover and become a global sensation again?
Their last chance is probably Rebirth/KH4, there is a possibility that one of those games will go viral but if they don't I really don't see them ever coming back
The truth is that Sony is slowly achieving the type of brand loyalty that Nintendo has
Before 2018 most Sony games never had perspective of achieving such numbers there
But look how it's getting gradually bigger with the years.
>The truth is that Sony is slowly achieving the type of brand loyalty that Nintendo has

yeah, they are getting better at converting their userbase in actual buyers for their exclusives.
I would say this detail is the most interesting aspect of it. Really curious to see how Spiderman and Rebirth will perform.
Their formula is clearly working because you can see how the most recent games are getting bigger openings. Even if you consider platform instalbase in 16's case
I'm not interested in most sony cinematic games, but their metrics are getting better and better
At some point when they reach 100m ps5s seeing a game open with numbers like zelda wont be impossible.
This is something anons arent paying attention to
Their top 7 all released in the last 3 years. With only the first god of war releasing 5 years ago. They are growing a lot.
I wouldnt doubt in 3 years from now on we start seeing shit like 5-6m day one for most of their games.
lmao no they aren't
Can you elaborate why you dont think so? most of those games have a clear timeline from most recent to oldest. Only 16 is breaking it because it's PS5 only.
>Sony is slowly achieving the type of brand loyalty that Nintendo has
They never will have Nintendo level of loyalty. People like Sony because its a console that plays CoD or FIFA really, really good. People like Nintendo because they like Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and the million other exclusives they make.
Sony has the IPs but they don't have Nintendo's output nor variety. Modern Sony's entire portfolio is all hyper realistic cinematic third person action games that take 8+ years to develop. The PS5 is 3 years running and you can count all the exclusives made specifically for it on your hands. They even admitted years ago that the Playstation brand wants to aim for fewer, yet bigger budgeted releases.
Meanwhile Nintendo farts out an exclusive almost every other month with a ton of variety across genres with the specific goal to be unique, sometimes for better or worse. You'll never find a game that plays like Animal Crossing or Splatoon, therefore they sell tens of millions easily. No one can compete.
>million other exclusives they make.
LMAO
LOL
ROFL even
>million other exclusives they make.
NTA, but yes, obviously.
Smash Bros, Pokemon (literally the most profitable IP on planet earth), Metroid, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, etc.
The latest Animal Crossing entry, of all fricking things, sold more copies than the original FF7.
>The latest Animal Crossing entry, of all fricking things, sold more copies than the original FF7.
not only this but it utterly obliterated the original FF7 in sales. it sold more copies than any sony exclusive ever has, period. as a throwaway nintendo title for babies.
It's true. Nintendo users will see more of their favorite long lasting IPs that offer different games across many genres. You like platformers, RPGs, and strategy games? Mario has you covered.
You'll more than likely see Last of Us 3 or God of War 3 that looks and plays exactly like the last two games before you see Sony fund a new PaRappa, Twisted Metal, or Jak and Daxter.
PC is akshually better for Fifa.
t. Fifa-gay
Like, sure
But you can see those releases and observe a clear patter
Not saying they will have a mario kart level of exclusive
But they are doing a good job in making their exclusives bigger and bigger release-wise in the last 3 years.
You can argue this is a case of the market objectively growing larger and larger by the year, and not because of increased brand loyalty because there's at least evidence for the prior.
Like, regardless of being because of marketing or not
The truth is that it's bringing them results.
Previous ps games had to obtain +60m consoles to obtain opening week numbers that 16 did today. Saying it's marketing feels like a cheap excuse to them having a big improvement in their instalbase sales.
Idk man
The ps4 had 95m consoles sold in 2018 when god of war released to sell 3.1m in its first week. FF16 achieved the same with less than half of the installed base
Saying it's just marketing seems like an argument that can be made for any succesful project.
It just did. Seethe, thirdie.
>sells less than totk
>sells less than xv
>sells less than 7r
Maybe next time.
XV was a great game.
XVI is pure slop
Nah. Everyone who's played XVI says it's good while XV was shit. You lost.
>this cope again
Nope
XV literally outsold 16 dumb cucklivegays
>Goodwill
He killed what little there was left with FF16 LOL
>forbes
>Gives zero source in the article.
>another article a month later claims otherwise.
Nah. Sold like shit and what you got was estimated numbers for clout.
If Square enix lied 16 sold even worse than what they just announced. What a flop bros
>ignores xbox
barry trannies....
moron
>so XV at its peak and with the biggest marketing campaign ever only sold 4,5 million on the snoystation
Barry trannies...I...
>completely btfo
>now coping about marketing that also applies to 16
Mindbroken. Just gotta accept it did worse and did not take the franchise to new heights bro.
>coping about his dead game and canceled DLCs
Pajeet sisters....what happened to our game?
it's really something to see this series so completely driven into the ground that shills will straight up shit on prior installments
FFXV marketed a game, Multiple DLCs, one of a few of which never were completed, A side beat em up, A stand alone multiplayer game., A movie, A OVA, A considerable amount of cross over events with other games, and multiple brand deals. All over the course of development and finishing in 14 years. Not to mention all that shit with XIII and Kingdom Hearts.
FFXV was made in 7 years and had to a huge kick in the dick for 2 of them due to covid. Then was only really marketed roughly a month or two before release.
Probably cost like 70% less at least to make than FFXV.
>FFXV was made in 7 years
Meant FFXVI. too many times am I typing these fricking roman numerals. I'll just stick to the normal fricking numbers now.
FF15 fully developed in 14 years
FF16 developed 7.
>anime+movie+others media project
it would be embarrassing if it did not sell more
People were always so confused about why XV could be the best selling game in franchise history and have it turn out the way it did for the people that worked on it and for Luminous Studios as a whole when all this shit was the answer the entire time
I totally forgot about the 3 phone games.
Nothing Barry and other FFXVI haters can say to make anyone believe FFXVI is a failure when XV pulled this shit and sold like 10 million in 6 years.
Zelda outsold FFXV's lifetime sales in a month for a higher price.
3 million in 3 days is nothing to scoff at compared to the fricking money pit that was XV.
>Regardless 3 million in a week is more than FFXV made in a week
>when XV sold 5 millions in the fricking release day.
based moron.
>doesn't mention xbox
anon...
Next cope shill
These timeframes and sales aren't even the same, though. Some of those games are sell-ins, some of them are sell-throughs, some of them have 1 or 3 day time lapses for sales and some are 1 week.
Dude none of those games are even PS5 exclusive, what the frick
learn to read
NO
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING
I'M IN CHARGE HERE
its the only PS5 exclusive....
ONE GAME!
Eagerly preparing for the angry autist cope coming in 3…. 2….
So it beat Destruction Allstars? Amazing achievement.
>sold less than 7R
>sold less than fricking XV
barry won lol
>Sony has huge fricking problems with exclusive titles for their console
>SE games actually do push people to buy more snoystations
Yeah, anyone who thinks that XVI wasn't a huge financial success for SE is deluding themselves, the money Sony throws at them is probably obscenely high
>PlayStation 5 Exclusive
think of all the competition
>muh game of thrones
I don’t get it bros, game of thrones is based. How is this even an insult
>God Of War Ragnarok: 5.1 million(11+ million all time)
>Tears of the KIngdom: 10 million in 3 days
Nintendochads... we won
>the special Olympics winners
Let's go!! barry lost
ff16 bombed
go away sperg you lost
Okay. Too bad it's not very good.
reminder to morons the PS5 userbase is way smaller than the ps4 userbase when ff7r came out
The competition
>several aren't even released yet
>bundled tech demo

Imagine paying real, legal money for a Sony PlayStation 5
XV was released on two platforms with total install base of 85M(55M PS4, 30M Xbones). XVI was released on a platform with 30M install base and after goodwill of the series was diminished by VIIR and XV. If anything it did exceptionally well.
No it released when ps4 had 47m and a month later was 50m
and xb1 was 26m a month after it released too
it sold 4m on 47m ps4
ff16 sold 3m on 40m+ ps5
cope
ff16 lost
ff7r did 3.5m on 110m ps4 so install base doesn't fricking matter
ff16 did worse than any ff
Good morning sirs. Please do not redeem final fantasy 16
>is petty with console numbers for XV
>inflates current console numbers
>proceeds to claim console numbers don't matter because 7R sold like ass
have a nice day.
what the frick are you talking about moron
the fact xv sold more on ps4 than 7r on ps4 with half the install base proves install base is irrelevant
It couldn't be that after XIII and XV the series' reputation had gone to shit, and it certainly couldn't be that people are simply not interested in a "remake" that's just the first of 3 games. Yes, it simply doesn't matter how large the install base is. In fact, if Final Fantasy XVI was actually good, I'm sure each PlayStation 5 owner would have bought it at least twice.
Stay in denial, homosexual.
All those 10 sales coming from Xbox were really significant for the total sales.
But it didn't though.
XV sold less than 3 million in a week. That's on record.
>XV sold less than 3 million in a week.
>according to wikipedia
lmao
XV sold 5 million copies in a single day, according to SE.
Half of it's lifetime sales in a single day. Damn. One hell of a drop off the following week.
Made up it's "Development" costs in that one day. Too bad the marketing and development of all the other shit related to it probably didn't get payed off.
>Half of it's lifetime sales in a single day. Damn. One hell of a drop off the following week.
oof never thought of it like that
I mean...you can see the impact on HD games here. XV was very successful.
>SE is going bankrupt g-guys really...
kek
>b-blizzard is going bankrupt
>wow is dying
>any day now guys!!
It's literally just FF14 holding them together.
Pretty sure the graph says it's their HD games + gacha
just get your shit together and collab with the new GOD dev studio
>They put Aloy in a waifu game but not Tifa
get your shit together SE
>after remake came out that huge spike
>even though averages almost killed the company
very based
You assume the increase in revenue was XV and not something else Square released in that time frame.
Those heavy dips in 2011 and 2013 are development cost for XV. Several Dragon Quest games released that year. It's also for the fiscal year so it counts shit a few months into 2017. Which Nier Automata released.
FFXV made next to not additional money for them. As it could only recoup it's development cost the first day and sold like shit over the next 6 years. While also burning more of SE's money on canceled dlcs and and failed phone games.
uhhhh...sure anon
Games are high risk and swing products generally. Subscription games trade risk for lower profits (generally, WoW is the big exception.)
Gachas are SE's bread and butter pretty much yeah. They do shit out a bunch, and are known in Japan for cutting them short after only a year or so.
SE literally said xv was the biggest contributor
Yes, this is the case. Also, we have the sales numbers anyway so...even if one wanted to dig you end up in the same position. It has some of the highest sales out of any SE game ever released.
Whats making the HD games sales oscillate like that every other year?
I never knew that mobile games were such a huge part of their profits you would think they would shit out more if that's the case since that shit costs nothing to make
>XV was very successful.
didn't XV come out in 2016? it doesn't look like it made that much money compared to the other years?
Late 2016, end of November.
A lot of shit came out in 2016. Three DQ games. A Star Ocean game. Hitman, Deus Ex Mankind divided. World of final fantasy. Multiple phone games.
And if this is counting fiscal year you got games releasing all the way to the end of March. So you also get Nier Automata and a bukkake of Kingdom Hearts HD Remixes released for Ps4.
I'm more than sure FFXV didn't do squat compared to most of this shit.
damn no wonder they killed the studio and kicked out the director
ff16 bombed
>6 million.
Damn. Could only make 1 million more over the course of 4 months.
No wonder it took the game 6 years to reach 10m.
Pretty much. I could see this game easily clearing ff15s lifetime sales across a year or two. I think the producer said they had an "18 month plan" for the game post launch, or something like that.
why are you samegayging stellagay
Stop trying to make Stella happen.
It's not going to happen.
xv hit 6m in 1 month you moron
it also hit 10m FASTER THAN ANY FF IN HISTORY you seething homosexual
Frick. 1 month? Even worse. Couldn't get anymore sales for 3 more months.
XV 1 day 5m
XV 1 month 6m
XV 2 years 8.4m
XV 5.5 years 10m
7R 3 days 3.5m
7R 4 months 5m
7R 3 years 5m
>Remake will probably hit 8 mil this winter
What will you do Barry when this happens?
XV chudies I'm afraid he is right we need to commit mass suicide
why do you think FFXV sold that much?
because tabata showed the actual game and people liked it
ff16 literally took longer to make than xv even including versus game dev shit
ff16 game dev shit started in 2015
versus game dev shit started in 2010
prior to them they weren't even making versus
>versus game dev shit started in 2010
Source or frick off, Black person. The original trailer dropped in 2006. All information I find around the web mentions the game was in development since around that time until 2012-2013, when it was rebranded and handed to a different team.
Stop making shit up.
Not going to spoonfeed underage morons
>cg trailer animated by 3 cg department people not even made by game devs
>keeps on spouting his headcannon
Whatever you said, schizo.
It's also pretty funny how you can't even keep your made up dates consistent.
The real answer is that SE's fiscal year always ends on March 31
So if you want to look up how a game did you have to get the report for the next year.
So if XV came out after March 31 2016 you find the numbers of it's net profit in the 2017 report
>bring out one flop after the other
>Company does better than ever
how
They are involved in many, many games. Also, this board has a poor idea of what makes something a flop or not generally.
>xvi-kun lying again
5m on day 1
4m on ps4
stop coping
I fricked up and forgot to put the extra I in FFXVI. Sorry. Been typing out these roman numerals too much lately.
If this list is true, the only one thats actually console exclusive to PS5 is ff16. The rest are PS4 games
Very true. I think final fantasy is back?
No way
Where is she going?
>Why did the chicken cross the road?
>to get out of ff16
wtf
look at her go
The only reason its the 6th fastest is that its not that long ago that the US, Japan and Europe all had different release dates for things.
FFVIII sold over 2.5million in Japan in its 1st week. It'd be well over 3million if it included the US and Europe.
pretty insane for such a small possible base.
It's over.....
Nocpiss...
Not bad considering the state of the markets. The economy is bad, inflation is high, FF already has a bad reputation to overcome, and it's a console exclusive. I'd say that's a W for 16.
>The Fastest Selling PlayStation 5 Exclusive Ever
Isn't that just winning by default? What other PS5 exclusives are there?
>6th fast selling exclusive
>on a console with 6 exclusives
hmm...
You read that in reverse.
>i can't read
back to school with you
does the PS5 have even any other exclusives then XVI?
>Rebirth is coming out in less then a year
The best selling and best rated Final Fantasy of all time, FF7, only sold 500,000 in the first three weeks. FF16 is selling better than that.
It hasn't even been a full week and they are already counting first week sales.
FFVIIR got like 3.5 millon in a week.
7R only considered 3 days. The same with tlou2
Then I assume FFXV's sales was also three days as a week as yet to pass.
XV was 1 day. XVI was a week. This is the issue with this moronic image, everything has a different timeframe for sales, nothing is unified.
It hasn't even been a week for FFXVI yet though. The game came out on Thursday. It's fricking Wednesday of the following week. They have numbers accumulated over at most 4 days.
The mere fact that FFXV sold half of it's lifetime sales in a single day is fricking hilarious.
>it hasn't been a week
Yes it has, it's been 7 days.
No. It's Wednesday. Game came out on Thursday in the west and Square wouldn't have given out numbers sold for today or even yesterday as they wouldn't have them calculated.
You wouldn't get an accurate account of first week sales for a video game for at least 2 weeks after the games release.
This is at most the first 3 days.
Do you not know how long a week is? Thursday to Thursday is not 7 days, that's 8 days. A week is 7 days. It's been a week.
>Thursday to thursday.
It's Thursday to Wednesday dude. And again. SE wouldn't have accurate sales numbers for the week when it's currently the middle of the 7th day in the week and they already have articles out.
These numbers are 3 days of sales at best. Otherwise they are making shit up for several days.
>It's Thursday to Wednesday dude.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It's been a week., A week is 7 (seven) days. you're saying it hasn't been a week because it's not Thursday, which doesn't make sense because Thursday to Thursday is not 7 days, that's 8 days.
I can't believe I'm actually trying to teach someone how to count days right now, this is pathetic.
>SE wouldn't have accurate sales numbers for the week
Yes they could, all they would need to do is contact their retailer partners and get sales information.
No they literally couldn't. These numbers were out and in the hand of reporters before Wednesday even started.
>These numbers were out and in the hand of reporters before Wednesday even started.
The news broke this morning at 7:30 AM, not yesterday. Dude, are you alright in the head? Do you not know what day it is? You even have trouble counting. And none of this changes the fact that is has, objectively, been one week since the game launched.
Yes. because they have the sales numbers for the entirety of fricking Wednesday at 7:30 am.
Fricking listen to yourself.
Holy shit you are absolutely moronic. I'm not saying what you think I am. No one said the entire day's sales were known when the day isn't over. The only thing mentioned was that the game came out 7 days ago and that there's shipment information for the game within the last 7 days. Take your fricking meds.
Wait, PS5 exclusives rarely break double digit millions? What the frick I thought that was the norm for the big three companies
Nah, ps was always big but their exclusives never had huge numbers. It could change in the next years as this anon said here
Breaking one milion sales was also something extremely rare, an absurd level of success until 8 years ago. It's kinda insane how gaming got bigger in the last decade
I still remember how Nioh selling 1m in 2017 was insane.
Even Reddit has threads talking about how shit this game is. It's a flop lmao.
>The Fastest Selling PlayStation 5 Exclusive Ever >& The 6th Fastest Selling PlayStation Exclusive!
Wow. And....who were the competitors?
sisters...
>remake was exclusive AND had to make up for XVs shitty rep
Based Nomura
cool, when did it release
last year on a console with a 110M user base
Umm Barry sisters...explain yourself?
clark on suicide watch
Redpill me on clark, who is he, what's his master plan?
Some elderly guy, who is probably the biggest shill in the history of shills
he's allied with nsp and his motive is to shill ff16 and yoshitpiss and trying to get an "IN" with SE as an influencer
FF15 was the most hyped game by square
Idc if 16 wins as long as Barry loses (he did)
oh no no no
who the frick are you people?
who cares what normies buy?
We won't get hood FF games if the bad ones sell well. Luckily FF16 sold poorly, just like 7R.
>hood FF games
there is a turf war going on between different factions, from console wars to which FF is the best/worst
I was so hyped for Odin's moveset but they made it gimmicky shit, I swear I could have designed half the eikon abilties better.
is XVI the RE7 of FF?
The #1 Fastest Amazon Warehouse Filling Flop Worldwide and the the #1 Fastest Amazon Warehouse Filling PlayStation Exclusive Flop Worldwide.
And all the other were on ps4, sounds good
Square doesnt give a shit about how well it compares to other sony exclusives. They're gonna care about how it compares to previous games in the series. If it is on the decline they WILL change course.
Now compare this to all console exclusives and tell me how well it fairs. Sony exclusives sold like utter dogshit until recent years, so this isnt all that surprising.
I'm actually surprised how well this game is doing for a modern ff on a ps5. I honestly thought it would barley get 1 million sales
>xv did 4m on ps4 on day 1 moron
at SE absolute height it only made 4 mil
kek
and 16 bombed
>its less than xv made in a day you moron
Cost less to develop and was only made for a single platform. So that's still really good.
FFXV Only made 10 million in lifetime sales.
ff16 cost more and took longer to make
xv outsold every ff when comparing release timespans you stupid mmo c**t
luminous are literally in cbu2 making more aaa games for existing SE IP and still using luminous so stop coping clark you seething cuck and theyve always shown luminous stuff off at cedec
>Post proof that they're hustling the corpse of the engine at public panels
Kek what a moron.
>posts an end of year 2017-2018 new year sale in JAPAN ONLY at literally ONE (1) store in the entire country AFTER it already sold over 1m at full price in Japan and over a whole year after launch only then went on a limited time sale at a single store during 2018 new years that only lasted a week before royal edition was announced in January 2018 and back atfullprice
>ffxvvanilla in 2020 was back at full priceagain too
cope moron
XVsold 6mfull price in a month and still was 4 mobths after release, the rest of 2017 from april onward was sold at nearfullpriceto half priceat lowest doing another 1m, then in 2018 it was back atfullpriceand sold another 1.4m, then sold another 1m at nearfullpriceto halfpricethrough 2019 then only in December 2019 officialpricewas now $35-$40 and only ever lowest official at $17.50 where it only did 500k at thisprice
It literally sold basically 80% at full price
meanwhile og ff7 sold over 70% at literally bargain bin $6-$12 for 20+ years
>b-bro they aren't using the engine anymore except for when they are
holy cope
Kek I'm not reading all that shit. 15 is bargain bin trash and 15 and Flopspoken objectively killed Luminous forever
Cope & seethe abo-kun
more like you can't read you dumb Brazilian fricktard
cope ff16 bombed and sold less than every ff
Calm down Bazzy. Maybe bring the one with the Mia avatar into the mix?
>took the pic of his games on the same table on two different accounts he's pretending are real people
galaxy brain iq right her.
Being able to see the Australian ESRB/PEGI equivalent on each is the cherry on top. I was howling when I saw it.
He could have taken pictures of the steelbook by itself and kept his location anonymous.
Anon...those images have different rating icons on them (different regions.)
No, they're both Australian. FF16 is just one rating higher.
You absolute fricking idiot.
So how did you know this unless you are Australian too? Are you Barry?
I know how to use google, you dipshit.
cope moron
whoever that is is clearly a falseflagging account who stole those images from the actual barry
>stole those images from the actual barry
In the other thread you said "someone else" which didn't make sense, have you refined your story now?
I thought Barry was a boogeyman, now he's real...? Ah well.
Perhaps you should contact actual Barry so he can confront these individuals?
I'd love for these (definitely different) people to start talking with one another.
This is my first encounter with this person but you can see him altering his narrative in real time and it's amusing
Barry is just the name they give to anyone who criticizes dear leader YoshiP. They're so autistic they think only a single person on planet earth has anything bad to say about him.
t. Barry
>instantly proving my point
Without fail.
Okay barry.
barry prime is the original innocent
barry (boogeyman) is a boogeyman that people created out of sperging over barry prime (innocent) but falsely attributed it to them
now there are barry impersonators alongside him just being a boogeyman
>took longer to make
Motherfricker, have you ever heard of Versus XIII?
>Cost less to develop
which you don't know since there's no budget number for xv.
>FFXV Only made 10 million in lifetime sales.
>3rd highest selling FF is a bad thing
lmao you're guys seething hatred for barry makes you post some equally moronic shit sometimes.
Game was developed over 14 years and over 2 console generations. Changed hands multiple times, Changed names, Changed story since it was no longer related to FFXIII. the Kicked Nomura off the fricking project due to wasting money and time.
There is pretty much nothing you could make up about FFXVI that wouldn't just be directly compared to XV doing it worse.
>14 years
lol what is this made up number.
You still didn't say why selling 10 million copies is a bad thing. Especially after SE confirmed at already broke even day 1.
I'm counting all of the shit they had to develop for the game post release. the three seperate DLCs that allowed you to play as the other 3 characters that eventually culminated in allowing you to play them during the story. the stand alone Multiplayer DLC. Ardyn's final DLC that didn't show up until 2019. Game wasn't complete when it launched and took an extra 3 years to do so.
>I'm counting all of the shit they had to develop for the game post release
kek way to grasp for straws.
>Game wasn't complete when it launched and took an extra 3 years to do so.
You haven't answered why 10 million copies sold is a bad thing. You're changing topics.
Said development of the Multiplayer DLC and the other 3 dlcs dipped into the more development fees. The 5m sold on day one paid for the development of the game but not the movie, Anime, DLCs, 3 phone games, multiple Crossover events, and the absolute frick ton of marketing.
>The 5m sold on day one paid for the development of the game but not the movie, Anime, DLCs, 3 phone games, multiple Crossover events, and the absolute frick ton of marketing.
This is just headcanon you made up right now.
The words "FFXV made back it's development costs in one day" aren't something I made up.
I know, because that's what I said.
ff16 changed engines and took longer and they cancelled the ps4 version
>took longer
FFXVI started in full production in 2017. A year after FFXV. Released in 2023. 7 years. two of said years were Covid ridden and delayed production.
FFXV started production in 2006 as Versus XIII. Ridden with ineptitude, staff changes, and the game's story outright changing completely due to no longer being related to XIII. Released unfinished and required 3 more years to get out all features and Some of the DLCs. The rest Cancelled.
ff16 took longer
xv started 2013
16 started 2015
No it didn't. FFXV started in 2006 as FF Versus XIII.
I really don't get why people have this hate-boner for XV to the point of disregarding (known) sales numbers. It carried the HD division for a few years tbh.
Also, it's mobile game was a huge earner too. Spin-offs etc. also generated cash at low cost. XV is fairly well-regarded by the general audience (people like the characters.)
I would honestly blame Barry for constantly shilling it and shitting on FFXVI. He's brought it all on himself
I guess, but if one autist is enough to make someone reflexively blind then...well, it's a bad sign for that person.
What spin-offs? I assume you're talking about Dissidia and shit like that.
Frick, even despite its issues I quite liked XV, and I will forever hold a grudge against Square-Enix for cancelling the DLCs when they were finally getting interesting. And for a bunch of other reasons.
Shit, I don't really regret it because I didn't miss the money and got a whole other playthrough out of it, but I double dipped and bough the PC version expecting to get a sequel's worth of DLC out of it. Instead, they released a meh multiplayer mode, then cancelled it and all future DLC. To rub salt on the wound, I hear they released the story's conclusion in book form. Frick 'em.
Pocket edition, and some of the other episodes on mobile. (King's tale etc.)
FF15 was blatably unfinished on release.
They released an early access title and charged full price for it. Then expected us to pay more for them to finish it.
The game was literally unfinished and they had to release the ending later.
What is this revisionist bullshit surrounding the game. Also, open world games are fricking garbage.
its bizarre how FFkeks care more about company metrics than the shitcoin autists on Ganker. Why not talk about the game(s)?
It's a product of more recent times and a certain dedicated shitposting redirecting discussion in a specific direction
As much as people might think Barry is their lolcow, he has actually shaped the way they think and talk about things. Talk about a master manipulator.
What
said, and also, in addition to being a multiplatform title, at the time of XV's release, there were about twice as many PS4 sold as there are PS5s right now. It's a moronic comparison to make.
If 15 was so good, why is the studio dead and gone forever?
They're literally using the corpse of the engine for public tech demos at cedec kek.
Forspoken. That's why. Even if FFXV wasn't a wasted of time and resources. Forspoken outright killed the studio.
Why do tendies have a huge investment in this game flopping? Very cringe considering how adamant they are about supporting Japanese devs. I guess it’s just missing the Nintendo logo. I mean the game doesn’t even feature black people which is another thing they love obsessing over.
3 million for a PS5 exclusive is damn good. 🙂
Barry made about 5000 hate threads in the past four years, but it didn't put even a tiny dent into FFXVI sales. Poor guy. I hope he doesn't fall into a depressive state and off himself.
>Barry made about 5000 hate threads in the past four hours
FTFY
No its terrible and worse than ffxv sales
it literally bombed
?t=7
what the frick lmao that sounds like its from a different game
garbage sounds like it was lifted from ffxiv
soken is insanely overrated by xiv fanbase
>God of War (2018)
>PS5 exclusive
huh?
Too stupid to read, huh?
Game will easily sell 10+ million. Gankertendogaf loses again
Cool now let's see those sell-through numbers.
Congratulations Naoki Yoshida and Final Fantasy "fans."
For me this is the nail in the coffin.
Final Fantasy is now officially no longer a true RPG.
Final Fantasy no longer stands for quality, depth, creativity, morals, values, heart, soul, challenge, thought-provoking, mysterious, unique, or anything that I personally value.
Final Fantasy is now, trendy chasing, and on its way to the likes of Sponge-Bob Square Pants, Kardashians, South Park, primordial desire driven outlets. As if we did not already have enough of this in the world.
Congratulations, you all have won, yet again.
I already know, people wont recognize that something of high quality has now been reduced, and taken away, but instead will commence the insults for wanting something for people who desire more. So I guess continue having your fun?
have a nice day Black person
Goodbye Barry, I guess. See you when FFXVII comes out and you claim it's dogshit for being too much of a RPG or claim it's gods gift to man because the director of XV made it or some fricking stupid bullshit.
Yoshi-P will be fired. Trust the Plan. Nomura Full Control soon.
>PlayStation 5
>Exclusive
>fastest selling
what does that even mean?
>he's now having a back and forth with himself on his new account
I think you guys really broke him this time.
Dreamboun broke that moron lol
Yup. This was the meltdown I was waiting for.
Finally another Bazzy melty, that's the good stuff.
wtf
>secretly recorded Max Dood
what
So he's the moron who spammed e-celeb threads about random streamers recording max dood
This mf is so mentally ill.
You guys looking forward to bazzkeks melty round 2 with Rebirth around the corner ? cause i sure am !
I cant imagine how insane he will be when nomura brings back Not-noctis in KH again.
His hatred of Yoshi-P and XVI outweighs his hatred for Nomura and Rebirth, therefore he will falseflag as a Rebirth fan to shit on XVI.
And a 3rd melty to really bring it home
Nomura. The epitome of "Nuh-uh, you didn't win"
>Nomura. The epitome of "Nuh-uh, you didn't win"
Why yes, that is an accurate description. He still gets to do what he wants.
FFXIII's story falls through. works it into FFXV. Get kicked off the project. Works FFXIII into KH. When KH4 happens in 20 years and he's on life support he will announce another game using the same car scene. Dies on his death bed and The game will be immediately developed via his own AI.
Nomura-gays have an alliance with Barry against MMO-gays.
It's all hands on deck to firmly root out the MMO menace and celebrate the inevitable firing of Yoshi P, Soken, Koji Fox and the rest of CBU3,
>Nomura-gays have an alliance with Barry against MMO-gays.
I'm a Nomura gay and I like XVI because Jill reminds me of Tifa, so checkmate chud.
>lefty homosexual
Not a Nomura-gay.
Wrong.
Wrong. He's already forgiven by Nomura-gays. He has been fighting the good fight for years.
>lefty homosexual
>to imagine that someone reads "chud" and doesn't immediately know that it's used ironically on fricking Ganker
kys
>I'm a Nomura gay and I like XVI because Jill reminds me of Tifa, so checkmate chud.
Yoship said he would want to marry Tifa so kinda makes sense.
>Nomura stans hate XIV
Stellagay exists anon. I don't know what to tell you.
>Stellagay plays 14
Not surprised but he's a Matsuno fan that likes TWEWY games and 7 + SoP so he's not entirely a Nomura gay.
I wonder if he likes Bravely Default because 5pb. worked on it. The namegay is fond of visual novels it seems lol
Nomura-gays like 14 because they appreciate Nomura's fetish for Krysten Ritter and Nomura put Krysten Ritter into 14.
>Nomura-gays have an alliance with Barry against MMO-gays.
Bazzbazz will never be forgiven for rooting for tabata. No matter how hard he starts shoving nomura branded suppositories up his ass just to shit on Yoshida.
>bazzkeks melty round 2
I swear you newbies need to lurk moar.
this would be the 5th nomura game he's seethed at. Not even counting stuff like first soldier or ux.
Sony gives their exclusives away for free to try get you to pick playstation as your fortnite box
>fastest selling ps5 exclusive
are there others?
Bottom line about FFXV. Tabata would have not "departed" from the company if the game hit the goals that he promised the higher ups at Square. There is no greater sign of failure if your director has to depart the company.
It's the only selling Playstation 5 exclusive* ever so whatever.
*console exclusive, PC port tbd
>The Fastest Selling PlayStation 5 Exclusive Ever
wow, out of the 5 games out there it sold the best? cool
You mean 3. There is actually only 4 ps5 exclusive games now that FFXVI is one. At least for a year. Then it will be back to 3.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot Ript Afart is on steam and some other game I can't remember the name of
Returnal. Despite the MC being ugly the game is actually pretty good imo.
>Horizon Zero Dawn sold 2.6 million in 2 weeks
SE shitting on this turd is all that matters to me
Ganker - business and economics
For real though. Sony should mercy kill that shit and stop forcing it into everyone's throats
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand some of the coping anons are doing about the ending and Clive being alive. I did the Jill date and understand the symbolism with the sunrise, but the whole epilogue with her and Gav in tears feels pointless if he just shows up again. I take Jill's solace in seeing the sunrise more as comfort in seeing that Clive achieved his goal of creating and creating a new, better world for humans and bearers, not that she just knows he's still alive.Why would the Metia star flicker out anyways if he was still alive?
The only thing unexplained is the book, but it coulda been finished by someone else.
>fastest playstation 5 exclusive
I know nothing about console wars and even i know that's fricking worthless
what is even the competition?
genuinely asking
watch spiderman come out or some shit and completely dwarf this pitiful performance
Barry has had the longest mental breakdown I've ever fricking seen. Dude has been going on for fricking weeks now seething every single day.
>fricking weeks
it's been years...
His schizo rant on Reddit after Hi-Fi Rush outsold Forspoken is still peak imo
He's been having a mental breakdown for several years now. It's just intensifying now.
erm???
WTF BROS. I think BARRY WON?

The FF14 lunatics are the only ones defending this game. You can see it in how they do mental backflips to avoid holding anything YoshiP does under scrutiny.
I don't like XIV, I do like XVI. What now Barry?
WOWIE ZOWIE FF16 IS THE FASTEST SELLING PS5 EXCLUSIVE*??? AMAZING
*it's also the only ps5 exclusive
>*it's also the only ps5 exclusive
nooooooo there's also the demon's souls remake kek
Which isnt an exclusive because it is a demake
I'm they also counted shit like Ratchet & Clank and Returnal, but it's still not particularly impressive. 5th fastest selling PS game overall isn't bad, though.
>5th fastest selling PS game overall isn't bad, though.
yeah except they conveniently excluded ps1, ps2, and ps3 from that metric.
Those ff16 numbers are made up btw.
You think square shitnix wouldn't be bragging 24 7 if it sold 3 Milli
I hear you, i was really saddened when they made up those XV sales numbers as well
>i-it's made up. They're LYING!
We've entered the denial stage, boys.
Are they counting every single bundled copy on the 3mil since it's shipped? Kinda curious about this
If this were any other platform the discussion would be how it's underperforming compared to other FF games. But this is Sony so they invented records that it broke in spite of selling mediocre
>Only 3 million
What a flop. There's no way that would cover ANY of the budget it costs to make
>There's no way that would cover ANY of the budget it costs to make
Sony's exclusivity contract probably covers an enormous chunk of that by itself.
It's dead
augh!
I feel kind of torn about XVI.
On one hand I don't want it to do bad because they actually made it fantasy and were it not on gaystation 5, I'm pretty sure I'd have bought it.
On the other hand they took the gaystation money like always and from what I've seen the story suffers from Japanese mo-cap acting and Japanese writing aka characters create conflict from not talking instead of consistently having opposing motives.
Wait so did Clive die and his brother revived or did his brother die and he just took his name like he took Cid's?
They both died.
Then who wrote that book at the end?
