Back in the day I already felt half alienated by X.
Voice acting.
Weird leveling system.
No overworld.
All those little bits were insignificant on their own but it was adding up.
Then XI came out as MMO and shit went completely downhill in terms of series identity.
This. Has everyone been in a fricking coma? FFXVI going full-on action RPG isn't too surprising after they went half-way with FFXV, which came after experimental shit in a mainline game like FFXII, and let's not forget two mainline games deviating to an MMORPG.
I mean, it sucks that they didn't go back to doing old ATB stuff, but the higher-ups are looking at stuff like DMC, From Software, and their own KH series and going, "This will make us money, do this with the next game."
None of these things have made them money, they also did the same with Parasite Eve, Front Mission, Lufia etc beforehand and all of those killed their series too
The demo was released. But also you're getting a lot of shills. We know of at least two Square shills who post on Ganker regularly. So of course they're going to be making threads for the game every 5 minutes. And there's probably a lot more than just two.
Well, in the hundreds of thousands od posters, 2 being shills isnt that bad.
Ah yes, as opposed to 15 which was for... Barry and no one else?
I unironically love FFXV. Is it "good"? Maybe not, but its my go to relax game. The music, driving around, doing hunts then relaxing at the diner. Man, I just want to go camping irl
There is no connection between XIII and XV, having played them both. XV is just badly designed, which is baffling, given Tabata already made Type Zero, which is at least serviceable and operates on the same general schema.
To be fair, Tabata was basically given an incomplete mess that had been worked on for 7+ years and told "get something together in a year." And he did that. Not saying the final result was good. But he didn't get to start over from scratch. He had to Frankenstien together Nomura's scraps.
It was a Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers and it was kind but please continue fricking crying hysterically over it like you have for the past half decade
wouldn't it be cooler if you played through the events of kingsglaive in the game as well as the true ending? why try to make your playerbase jump through hoops just so they could piece together the mess of a story you're trying to tell?

We were robbed of Final Fantasy Versus 13
Even funnier, because in most ways, XVI resembles Versus XIII more than XV itself, even if Nomura himself isn't working on it. A mix of Ivalice and Kingdom Hearts in the most ambitious Final Fantasy game ever made. >A political intrigue/social commentary plot like Tactics >References to Vagrant Story like the Blood Sin >Modern but less scifi FF since 12 >The hardcore buttrock from The Last Remnant >The writing at the level of FF14 Heavensward by Kazutoyo Maehiro >Visual grandeur under art director Hiroshi Minagawa >event direction potentially by Jun Akiyama and other FF12/TLR writing staff like Versus >Lots of battle options like the SaGa games >Overall direction by Hiroshi Takai, one of two developers blessed by Mana, Chocobo creator, FF1 graphic co-director and FF11 director Koichi Ishii as one of two heirs of Final Fantasy >Action combat by Tokyo Team once led by KH creator Tetsuya Nomura (another of the two developers blessed by Koichi Ishii as the oher heir to Final Fantasy) and Ryota Suzuki (and maybe more) of Devil May Cry >Speaking of Tokyo Team, the design of Stella Nox Fleuret was repurposed specifically for this game >Perhaps what might be the Nitroplus Final Fantasy, only this time there is no director removal/retool and we're getting the game >Main character is royalty on a revenge mission >Countries have their own crystals and each one has a summon representing them >Dog party member >Cid gives a very similar vibe to the 2013 trailers Cor >Warping around during combat >Not afraid to be a bit more mature in terms of using blood or killing off characters which was something shown in Versus trailers too >because in 16 the crystals are a stand in for oil, this is a fantasy based on reality
No PS5 killings but the demo has had nasty frame drops in larger areas, so much so that the producer is breaking his word and doing a day one patch to fix it.
>On par with a fricking rtx 2080
Not even the series x has that. The PS5 it's a gtx 1060. FF XVI runs at 900p and 45 - 60 fps (with the day one patch).
You're smoking some wack ass crack if you think the PS5 is on par with a GTX 1060. The PS4 Pro was on par with a GTX 1050 Ti and the One X is on par with a 1060. The PS5 is basically a 6700 non XT and a RTX 2080 in new games,
If it pulls the usual "plot twist that makes the first 2/3 the game invalid" I would agree with you. But the game is clearly trying to seperate itself as much from anime as possible. Which I don't think is a good thing. I'm just saying, it's not going to be like FF4 or 7 or 10, which are like a Gundam/Naruto anime with the Final Fantasy name. Instead, this game looks like it wants to be Game of Thrones: Ultima Edition. Which I think is gonna backfire on it in the long run.
>But the game is clearly trying to seperate itself as much from anime as possible
How can anyone play the demo, watch trailers, see the anime ass dialogue and character poses in cutscenes, the cinematic boss fights and say that this game is trying to NOT be anime? Its literally the most anime I've seen FF be since FF8
>Its literally the most anime I've seen FF be since FF8
You didn't play FF10? That game is basically "let's take FF8 and put it in Chrono Cross' setting."
because they're moronic doomposters still regurgitating up frickin Kotaku article bullshit without any actual thought behind it.
seeing someone cry 'muh game of thrones' is almost an instant indicator to throw their take in the rubbish
>Something something empire is bad something something crystals and summons something something giant chickens
And these are all plot and theming things. Like I said, I don't doubt they'll hit on all the loose themes most FF games have. FF12 had characters riding Chocobos into battle like calvary. However, that's where the connections stopped. It's tone and design outside of small nods like this were trying to be like a western movie/game. More realistic instead of anime. Which is what FFXVI is looking like it wants to do.
Ok but then Final Fantasy has basically been a dead series since what 10?
And frick it I would go even farther to say that you can basically break the series up into
1,2
3,4,5,6,9
7,8,10
11,14
12
13
15
16
As all being different series going by the logic of Tone and Feel of a Final Fantasy game
FF as a series has constantly been changing. This is it's strength. But it's also its greatest weakness, as each game is more different than the last. And so if someone likes a game, say FF4 or 7 or 10, then they'll likely be less interested in the games that don't have a similar design. Either visual or gameplay.
FF16 is very far away from the other FF games.
In another example, the modern Star Trek and Star Wars movies are called Star Trek and Star Wars. But that doesn't mean fans accept them.
Though I would lump 1-3 and 5 together as having similar tone and gameplay. But all the others vary wildly like you said. FF16 is just the next variation. Which will please some and turn off others.
I don't really get this because from the demo, I get the same flow that I got when playing FF7R which I heard no one complaining "wasn't final fantasy". Strictly story wise, it seems very much like FF12 which I also don't hear the "not final fantasy" argument for.
When FF12 was new, plenty of people were claiming it was not Final Fantasy. Claiming MMO gameplay, Star Wars story, doesn't "feel" like Final Fantasy, ruined Ivalice, etc. It's just become accepted over time. And it's become the cool thing to like it because it's less popular than the other games. Kinda like FF9.
It's just a low-mid game
but there you will have the autistic morons defending that Square Enix disaster just because a little of muh japanese shit is there

You aren't wrong, but you also need to understand that nu-FF like 16 is going to sell way more copies than previous iterations ever did. They're following the money, which is their duty to their shareholders
That actually remains to be seen. FF15 sold far more than anyone expected. But they also cancelled the DLC and sequels they had planned. Because fans quickly gave up on it and the new players who got into it didn't want more. This game could suffer the same fate. Especially in Japan, since it's moving away from what a lot of the Japanese fanbase likes. Maybe the western fans will make up the difference. But this also could hurt the FF brand name in the long run.
What's funny about this game is them trying to imitate an IP that crashed and burned 4+ years ago. The game probably started development all the way back then, before the disastrous Season 8 finale. But took so long to make, it's only coming out now. I wonder if the Game of Thrones inspiration will actually hurt it.
Game of thrones didn't shit the bed because people got tired of it, it wa sbecause the showrunners ran out of material and were total doofuses. Medieval shit is still popular
>Game of thrones didn't shit the bed because people got tired of it, it wa sbecause the showrunners ran out of material and were total doofuses.
I understand that. >Medieval shit is still popular
Eh, kinda. People didn't like Game of Thrones because it was "Medieval." Which it's not even that. But they liked Game of Thrones because of the gritty, mature content. As well as the huge marketing/hype HBO gave it. It could have been set in space or in the modern day and people would have hyped it just the same.
When it comes to FFXVI, this is a problem. Because it's only taking inspiration from the superficial elements of GoT. Not that I particularly want a FF game full of pointless sex and cussing. But it also means that there's no real reason to try and imitate GoT without focusing on that. But maybe none of this will matter. The game is getting plenty of hype so it'll probably pass the marketing threshold for popularity. But then that makes me wonder, why bother working so hard to make it look like GoT and saying GoT in interviews?
What I find funny is Ivalice has already been ruined. Every game supposedly set in that world has been massively different from FFTactics in tone and design. So why do the fans keep demanding more?
>Because it's only taking inspiration from the superficial elements of GoT
If it was a straight knockoff that'd be terrible
This is literally just "What if we made an M-rated FF" the game of thrones comparison always came off as marketing, compare your shit to something popular that people recognize
Yoshida has flat out said in interviews that it's inspired by Game of Thrones. Which is why so many people are comparing it to that. Maybe he's just doing it for name recognition like you said. But this is odd since it's 5+ years after the hype and Game of Thrones has left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.

But it still begs the question of what they're even taking influence from. Just the gritty setting? It doesn't seem to be the cussing and sex. Though who knows. Maybe that'll be in the later part of the game.

Sounds like the typical Final Fantasy plot. Plot twist out of nowhere, then a bunch of events that have no connection to the plot before happen. Then clean up by fighting the big bad guy (who wasn't introduced until 80% into the game).
Lol. I really liked rings of power. Yeah it had three or so cringe moments but it was cool. As a barometer for my taste, I only liked then fellowship movie.
Yes, it will. GoT quickly became known as low-class even when it was popular.
Afterwards it has 0 support because both artistic crowds and normal crowds dislike it.
>low class
You're smoking crack. Tons of people I know young and old were talking about the episodes the day after they aired. Everyone was so depressed during the last season. Normalgays loved it.
>Watch Yoshida destroy Dragon Quest too at this point.
Yoshida was one of the directors of Dragon Quest X. It's how he got the gig to work on another MMO (FFXIV).
Yoshida can't "destroy Dragon Quest" because he already worked on three DQ games and didn't destroy it back then. That's what I'm saying, you dumb frick.
Too bad he admitted in interviews it's based on GoT. Not Ivalice. But I'm not surprised a FFTactics gay is once again trying to make it about themselves.
It brought back the exploration of the overworld the original Zelda 1 had. But lost the item progression and dungeons. This isn't good. But on the flip side, all the other 3D games lacked the free roaming exploration overworld Zelda 1 had, while focusing harder on linear item progression and dungeons. So basically, no Zelda game since Ocarina has been like Zelda 1. They're all missing something.
>The important facts about every dungeon (first quest): >Level 1 must be completed before Level 6. >Level 2 can be completed in any position other than last. >Level 3 must be completed before Level 4. >Level 4 must be completed before Level 5 or 6. >Level 5 must be completed before Level 7. >Level 8 can be completed in any position other than last. >Level 9 must be completed last. >second quest >Level 1 can be done anytime except last. >Level 2 has to be done before Level 3 or Level 4. >Level 4 has to be done before Level 5. >Level 5 has to be done before Level 6. >Level 6 has to be done before Level 7 or Level 8. >Level 9 has to be done last.
Except it's as gated with item based progression as the other games. You didn't even play it because you weren't even a sperm in your dad's balls when it came out, kid.

Now it's a Final Fantasy thread!
Maybe play the original game and stop arguing about shit you know nothing about. BOTW is the most Zelda game to date. The one that is closest to its roots.
I don't care how good this is, I'm not buying it. I'll just feed on spoilers and youtube the cutscenes but paying for this shit is just giving Squeenix the green light to make sub par action games from here on out.
>Based Yoshi-P saving Final Fantasy AGAIN with a based romance. FFXV's attempt was fricking laughable,
To be fair, so was the romance in FF 8 and 10. And the "romance" in the other games were little more than a dere girl obsessing over a loner man. The series has a long history of bad love stories.
I have eyes anon, and over 20yrs of playing vidya of all genres. I know exactly what I'm fricking looking at with FFXVI and I know exactly what SE are like these days. Now get back to shilling.
He doesn't have much competition. If the other Square teams were making good games, his wouldn't stand out as much. He's making 7/10 games, but they look like 10/10 when compared to stuff like FFXV and Bravely Default II.
Not that troll. But Yoshi didn't really save FF either. The series wasn't "dead". It was oversaturated. And it still is. Yoshi saved FFXIV. But not the whole series. It's still slowly declining.
Uh, one of the problems of FF7R is reliance on flashy cinematics over substance. Not saying FFXVI is going to have good characters/story substance itself. Just saying, not a great example.
Got to admit I prefer the grounded combat more in FF7 than the ADHD in the demo. Maybe I'm too boomer especially in the Eikon challenge where I was just button mashing and using Titan

We both agree that after 3h of gameplay that XVI > XV
The story already seems way better, she went in not being too excited but wanted to see how the game worked to actually pre-ordering the game for us

>Final Fantasy is a series by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) best described as a ragtag group of unlikely heroes learning about their world and their place in it. Personal growth stories. Crystals also play a role in these stories as small as in FFII with the Crystal Rod, or as large as FFXV and FFXIII where crystals define what characters can and can't do. Though not every unlikely hero is playable, their growth takes center stage in both gameplay and story, which is why you have Jobs, character classes, and changes in ability acquisition systems every entry or so. Combat systems also tend to differ from entry to entry. Games also use physical appearance to show that strong changes in character have taken place for certain characters, like Kain in IV and The After Years, Garnet in FFIX, and the l'Cie brand system in FFXIII. No matter what the worlds look like, there is always a mix of magic and technology influencing the setting.
>Now there are two 'main' strands of Final Fantasy games.
>Games by Kitase and his people (Nomura, Toriyama) strongly focus on interactions within the player party, and by seeing characters develop, you learn more about the world and the events that go on in it. Characters tend to drive the plot as a result and by uncovering themselves do story events move forward leading to many plot twists and turns. as is the case in the XIII 'Lightning Saga' trilogy. These give these games strong emotional impact, which is what X is especially known for.
>Games by Matsuno and his people (Yoshida, Maehiro) instead focus more on warring factions affecting the player party, and characters develop separately from lore. In these games, characters act in response to political intrigue with long in-game history, which what drives the plot. You also get some commentary here too, like with the Yugoslav Wars and Square company culture as in Tactics, or even some nation building in response to migrant diasporas in XIV.

This is the only valid branch. No strong focus on politics shit, just shonen manga and Hollywood cinema magic. No edge either.
FF is not necessarily linear. FF8 for example drop the rest of the characters and just focus on Squall's personality and Rinoa, in FF12 Vaan is just there, FF3 and 5 are more gameplay focused, etc
16 is more about Clive, the world, and whatever he has with Jill
>it's not FF! it's GoT! says the shitposter for the 100th time >story midway literally goes into mind control and Ultima and Joshua saving Clive by absorbing Ultima inside him setting up for another Phoenix+Ultima VS Ifrit match up like the logo.
It's like you gays are just hating for the sake of hating because that's all your identity that's left. The meme is right, you gays hates videogames.
Spoiler alert:
So, how is it still not confirmed whether Jill and Clive divorce at the end, he takes the baby and Jill takes the dog in the settlement?
That's pretty much 99% of the plot, the rest is just there.
Apparently Joshua is reborn, again, like the shit in SOTC and ICO. The original spoilers claim at the end Clive holding the babby and Jill walk down the road, then they part ways and she takes the knot
>at the end Clive holding the babby and Jill walk down the road, then they part ways and she takes the knot

The jan leaker must have rushed the hell out of this game given he stated there's no reason behind it. No fighting, or falling out, just a ton of buildup that doesn't get addressed. Do't think CBU3 is that incompetent.
Important characters just exiting the story and with no meaningful relationship resolution is exactly what CBU3 does. Remember how close WoL used to be with Aymeric in HW and especially with G’raha in ShB? By the time the next expansion happens, none of it matters.
There's two endings. You get one or the other depending on whether or not you got Jill to sign the prenup

homie doesn't know that action mode only means that you're not automatically equipped with journo crutches. Everything else is just gonna be as the same as story focused mode until you beat the game and unlock FF mode.

Last good FF was 12, 13 was okay.
Do they think the format doesn't make money or something now? that you need to appeal to zoomzooms, didn't DQ 11 show that this genre is still very much profitable?.
Your fault for listening to gaming "journalist" and a troll online. Dragon Quest XII isn't moving away from turn based. It was a rumor that idiot journalists ran with as a fact.
So are we finally reaching the point where contrarians would just openly degrade themselves into thinking that FF13 is le good all along? Just so they can drown themselves in their thirst for another tortanic disaster?
Her games may not be perfect or even good, but they are extremely ambitious and inspired. Claire games have obvious problems everybody knows about: lack of exploration, extreme linearity with gameplay loop being reduced to "go forward/fight/watch cutscene" pattern, obvious pacing problems, especially in the second half of the game (see Fifth Ark dungeon). Then script writing is poor, events planners did many debatable things in some key scenes, music direction isn't consistently good, overall literary presentation lacks polish. Everybody knows it, and I don't understand why you, Claire deniers, still chimping out about it as if it's some kind of revelation.
The thing you don't see is that her games have ambition, deep lore, nice atmosphere, optimistic tone, the most refined art direction in series, best girls, good thematic core and scenario ideas. With proper, at least fricking working engine, sane production management and enough development resources FFXIII Remake and its sequels have infinite potential. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

This is why I respect 13 tbh. 13-2 was close amazing and LR could have had seamless combat. I wonder how the 13 and Nomura/Tokyo Team are going to work together for the 7 remakes.
He kinda has a point >starts the game with epic kaiju fight >lol sike it was just the protag daydreaming >alright kill this person don't ask why tho >look at this (partially) prerendered scene between two factions killing each other don't ask why tho >look at these people having political arguments using terminologies you don't know anything >lol segggs with godawful and cringeworthy dialogue in my mature Final Fantasy for mature audiences such as myself >heres a beeg beeg guy stomping over everyone on the battlefield (we don't know why tho) and heres a beeg ice girl doing jackshit damage to the beeg guy this is so epic guys >protag got bonked by the rubble and just as he started to lose consciousness he has a flashback to his teens 13 years prior
That's just the first ~5 minutes and it's already an incompetent narrative experience.

He's wrong. It is an abomination that's worse than, Allah forgive me for saying this, worse than Forspoken.
I JUST KILLED A GAME STUDIO WITH MY FREAKIN' GAME is at least funny
There's nothing to characters merely yelling the word frick repeatedly. It's cringe in of itself, lacks any personality, and cannot be twisted to be humorous. Worse than Forspoken.
Doomers are going to bash the game in any way they can, no matter what.
Thankfully there are a lot of posters here who will praise and defend and love the game no matter what, so the doomers can't get a foothold.

They already dropped their "MUH DAY-1 PATCH THEY HECKIN LIEDERINOO HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA WHOOO FLOP" narrative.

If you constantly seethe about a game every day, you're an obsessed junkie.
If you aren't interested just move on with your life.
The game has a free demo so anyone can literally try it themselves if they want, you aren't going to fool anyone with your wrong opinion one way or the other.8
When they constantly make or enter threads about games they don't like. Yes.
That is literal seethe.
There's nothing wrong about disliking it, but stop thinking anyone who does cares to hear it.
Well I didn't claim the entire game looks terrible and I hate it or anything, just that I'm worried it may suffer from the same issues as 13.
Honestly you seem mentally ill and I will not be replying again.
Nah I played Lightning's games and at the very least from what I've seen from the demo flashback's end until they meet Benedikta the first time it's still not as cutscene heavy as the start on Cocoon.

Even funnier, because in most ways, XVI resembles Versus XIII more than XV itself, even if Nomura himself isn't working on it.

Please tell me this is all bullshit. There's nothing worse than being blueballed for 30+ hours straight. Either commit to that shit or don't bother at all. Frickin japs.
We don't actually know yet. Leaks so far imply that there's a romance building up, and they almost kiss at one point. I don't think the leaker has finished the game yet though.
Nah, I hate Final Fantasy and the demo just felt like the 7 remake which I didn't care for. I've yet to understand the appeal of any Final Fantasy. I'd rather play Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. That game for me is like Final Fantasy if it was good.

To be fair, don't jump the gun on that. There's no indication that the patch will fix all the framerate drops. Nor that it will do so without graphical concessions.

That's just the first ~5 minutes and it's already an incompetent narrative experience.
Because they're doomers who know it's over. We're going to continue calling this game kino and GOTY no matter what until they finally give up. They know it's over so they're extra angry now.
I don't mind critique at all. Healthy criticism is always good. The stuff about the FPS drops is more than fair, and I hope it's fixed.
But all I see is attempts to tear it down or selling "this is not to my tastes" as some kind of judgment of something's quality.
There are more than a few genres I don't like. Doesn't mean those games all suck and are for morons.
critiques are fine if I agree with them, and if the problem is something that is no big deal and also being fixed. a critique is okay as long as it doesn't lead to someone calling the game bad, it should just be a small complaint followed by a clarification that they still love the game
>The stuff about the FPS drops
People will say it's cope but these complaints have always been a platform issue more than anything else. Not since the PS2 have had consoles with reliable FPS near the 60's and that's just the way it is. Developers (and consumers) have both accepted 30 FPS across the board or else they wouldn't have continued to purchase games with those limits for decades now.
Are dips below that on a regular basis good? Obviously not. But do I blame each game specifically? Not really. Optimization always happens over time and not by release. But complaining about poor FPS on every single game just comes across as such a whine. It's like complaining during the 360 era that everything had the brown shit filter. Like yeah, it's indicative of the platform, it is what it is, can we talk about the GAME
I too dream of a day where I never have to see a negative post about any game I like on Ganker. Imagine how good threads could be if they only had positivity in them and haters were booted instantly. We aren't even allowed to be hyped in peace and it's a shame.
Not really my point.
But critique exists to better something.
This is more about tearing something downg because you consider it an affront to your sensibilities.
Agreed. Threads would be better if everyone just agreed the game is amazing in every way and we talked about all the things we love about it.

yeah, and i said that the maqjority of recent AAA games has been like that. So it's not Final Fantasy bullshit anymore, it's just the direction the industry has taken towards cinematic movie-like games
There must be some truth in this because 16 is the first FF game I like the look of. The FF7 remake games look good too. Lost Odyssey was the best FF game anyways
Calm down, Claire denier.
First of all, kneel before the Queen, Pure Heroine and Prettiest Muse, and apologize.
Second: big reveal for you, but your assumption that Clairechads hate FFXVI is generally wrong.
So far the only person on Ganker that has an early copy is someone that actually enjoys the game and isn't trying to ruin the experience for everyone. I'm sure early copies will fall into shitskin hands soon enough so you can gleefully spread spoilers around.
If Yoshdia was confident in FF16 he wouldn't need to namedrop Kitase and Sakaguchi to give more credence to his cope that it's the "real FF". It's the first they are having that argument to begin with, not even with FFXV you had to justify that crap being Final Fantasy, lol.
If he didn't ask those people then you morons would just switched your moronic narratives to Yoshida being a massive arrogan prick who wouldn't even bother asking for opinions from his predecessors.
I know your game here, imbecile.
Yoshida homosexuals have the worst victim complex on this website. What's the point of him paying lip service to the series whose legacy he doesn't want to be "shackled by"? Why not make a new IP then? Nothing would be holding him back.
No, you purists have the worst victim complex in this website you imbecilic dogpiss shitstains. He asked his predecessors inputs because he wants them to see if his vision is appropriate enough to be a mainline FF game, and guess what? They approved. Or what, do you think that Yoshida held them at gunpoint and forced them to be his mouthpiece with a made up talk?
The point that you're afraid of psychoanalysis, because you have major issues you don't want to face? Yeah, you will definitely have a nice day when this dog shit movie game bombs.
>If Yoshdia was confident in FF16 he wouldn't need to namedrop Kitase and Sakaguchi to give more credence to his cope that it's the "real FF". It's the first they are having that argument to begin with, not even with FFXV you had to justify that crap being Final Fantasy, lol.
If asked their opinion because their opinion is important to how he wanted to proceed, he respects their ideas. He's not name dropping them, he's relating how he approached his decision making process, part of which obviously was to ask the people who had worked on the series the longest would have chosen to proceed. While YoshiP does seem to be a great project manager he's never really gotten to full create a game entirely from scratch with only the name to begin. I'd fricking ask them too.
I think he might've gotten banned here and there.
I imagine that at this point, his sights are set on yoinking Margrace's leaks and reposting them on twitter and other sites to ruin the experience for people preemptively.
interestingly all of the leaks are really good so far and I think he might be honestly just fricked.
He has ban evaded historically, so I have no idea where the moron has fricked off to.
He can twist them. He did that in these threads as well.
And even if the leaks are positive, then it still sucks for people getting their experience spoiled. Yes, he would do that- he's that spiteful.
Everything we've heard about the story so far is proving that it's kino. Any negative responses to the leaks have been people twisting the info to pretend it's bad.
Everyone who decided to love the game regardless of what happens in the story is eating good right now and the doomers are struggling.
It's bullshit. There's way too much buildup and they literally worship each other for the ending to become that autistic. It's just the slowest of fricking burns so no one knows yet
>Benedikta's incompetent character writing
I hate when you clueless homosexuals try to appeal to writing when you have no idea what you are talking about. Please go ahead and enlighten us why her writing is so incompetent, I will wait.
god damn that was so based I almost got a hard on. probably the highlight of my month. the leaker really told barry to frick off, it was so good. this is what I live for now. honestly we need more posts blowing barry the frick out. what is barry's current status anyway? what's he been tweeting?
the only thing this thread lacks is more barry discussion
He said he's only been enjoying it more and more. He admits that he doesn't like a chunk of the sidequests, though.
Maybe Margrace rightly figured out it's pointless to try and share information here if he has to deal with autists like Bazztard and just decided to enjoy the rest of the kino on his own.
Nah. He said he'd be going to bed, working, then playing again after getting home and after that he'd share more.
What's with the falseflag spam?
Complete and utter desperation, anon. They're still reaching for their next doompost narrative, so they're just falseflagging and acting passive-aggressive in the intervening time.
He's been doing all the sidequests allgedly, so he's farther behind on the main story than someone who would be doing exclusively that would be at this point.
But yeah he's been at it for a bit and he said the game really only just now opened up, after the second timeskip.
The funny thing is that nothing the doomtrannies do will change anything.
People will play the game.
People will decide on their own if it was shit, worth their money or amazing.
It's out of their hands and out of our hands. Only time will tell, and their utter helplessness galls them to no end.

Haven’t followed all the leaks, but has the leaker mentioned why Joshua never let Clive know that he’s actually alive? He’s had 13 years to do something about it.
Why is nobody in the media talking about how dark everything is in terms of visibility? I watched like 20 minutes of the demo footage on YouTube and I could barely see what was happening.
Granted, it was in a dark dungeon-like area, but I've never had problems with visibility in other dark dungeon areas in other videogames. Here I could barely see anything.
The combat system being like DMC5? Maybe it is like DMC5, which would be great. But I sure as hell couldn't see what the player-character was doing like 70% of the time. I know that he was attacking and juggling, but the animations of the attacks and juggles? Can barely see most if it.
Even in the darker areas of DMC5 I could see what was happening, like in those Qlipoth tree areas (or whatever the frick they're called).
Since CBU3 already lifted so much from GoT/ASOIAF, I wish they had copied Asha Greyjoy as the main heroine instead of creating a less interesting Sansa but with powers. But who knows, maybe the full game will surprise me.
>Since CBU3 already lifted so much from GoT/ASOIAF, I wish they had copied Asha Greyjoy as the main heroine instead of creating a less interesting Sansa but with powers. But who knows, maybe the full game will surprise me.
I honestly think they used GoT more as an example for how english speaking people write dialogue and tone more than cribbing story points. It's vastly improved over previous iterations and writing tone outside of your own language can be a challenge. Square's localization in the last 10 years has been much better though.
The script influences are obvious, but there are clearly story and character elements that were just lifted wholesale from GoT/ASOIAF. The demo story setup for example almost borders on plagiarism. >a slim, clever black-haired youth who is very good with a sword and was trained by the master of arms in his father’s castle has a younger brother with reddish hair who loves and admires him >said youth also has a magical puppy gifted to him by his Lord Father, secretly has a super speshul destiny, and his friend from childhood is his father’s ward (read: hostage), taken after the ward’s land was subjugated >Lord Father is a kind and just man and a fine commander, but he’s married to a woman who hates our protagonist and dotes on her younger son, who also looks more like her, while our protagonist resembles his father >our protagonist feels unwanted and excluded, so he skips the great feast held by his father and instead sits outside with his dog, broods and stares at the sky
Who am I talking about: Jon Snow in the first chapters of AGOT or Clive Rosfield?
I don’t even mind it much because I’ve always wanted an AAA ASOIAF game, but this goes well beyond “inspiration”.

Did not know it was that bad. Makes sense however. I never liked the look or sound of GoT or the books and avoided them.
The same dislike is present here with XVI.
The last good Final Fantasy was Lost Odyssey. Sakaguchi took the soul and the body if the series with him when he left. All the new guys know how to do is showing off on camera with ridiculous hair cuts.
>not only Joshua forgives Clive for assaulting him pre-timeskip, he shows up with a single minded goal of saving his big bro >Clive keeps a Phoenix feather as a keepsake >inb4 it ends like Xenoblade 2 with the feather bringing Clive back to life
Wtf is this preventive cope? the debate is about is they get together in the story, not if they live together in the end. By this criteria FFX is "cuck" too .
the point is that no matter where they end up, we're calling it kino and anyone who wanted it to be different should be derided for it. we need to be ready to adjust a soon as we get confirmation.
Based. There is literally no outcome where I'm not saying doomers and Barry have been btfo by kino. Best case scenario is they end up together and I pretend the only people who hate it are trannies who are mad that a straight white couple are together in the end. But if they're not it's still a win. We have to win. We will win.

KYS falseflager. That just not the case, when the leaker originally said that Clive and Jill had no chemistry a lot of people were disappointed.
We now know that this is not the case. you can cope all you want but tragic romance is still romance.
>you can cope all you want but tragic romance is still romance.
Yes, yes! This is just as planned! But remember, tragic or not the game is kino and critics are wrong.

Imagine spending months making threads doomposting this game day after day only to get btfo'd so hard by one demo, you have to pity them a bit honestly.
Jill sounds like the heroine with the larges amount of presence in the story all the way since Tifa to the point when it feels weird that she weren't give her own Torgal esque commands
Wow ill there be a part where she becomes the leader and main playable character while clive is incapacitated? And then she'll leave to take care of Clive and you'll have to use the other party members?
You mean since XIII? XV is just so hilariously bad at handling the game's main heroine character to the point it makes people think that they haven't seen a prominent heroine role in a long ass time.
Weird take because while i agree that Yuna is really important, all of 7 can only be done because Tifa and Aerith are there.
How do you even measure "Ashe is more important than Tifa"?
7 in general has such strong cast, it's kinda insane. Even the optional members like Yuffie and Vincent are loved.
We dont even need to remember how it also has famous villans like Scarlet.
>6
Both female leads are almost entirely irrelevant to the story because it's an ensemble cast. They get slightly more attention than characters on average but nowhere nearly as much as Tifa. >12
Again, the attention is split almost evenly between Basch, Balthier and Ashe
It's bad enough seeing it here but when you see people on twitter who spend their whole lives in petty fanboy b***hing matches it's so fricking pathetic
I saw your comments, you're the schizo who uses multiple accounts to complain about EW? Also keeps typing open spoilers and gets mad when people call you a moron.
Dreamboum is moronic, but you're more
But FF12, 13 and 15 already happened. Or is that the joke?
Nah. FF13 was shit but at least it was a shit Final Fantasy. 15 is the one for people who don't like Final Fantasy.

Voice acting.

No overworld.
All those little bits were insignificant on their own but it was adding up.
Then XI came out as MMO and shit went completely downhill in terms of series identity.
This. Has everyone been in a fricking coma? FFXVI going full-on action RPG isn't too surprising after they went half-way with FFXV, which came after experimental shit in a mainline game like FFXII, and let's not forget two mainline games deviating to an MMORPG.
I mean, it sucks that they didn't go back to doing old ATB stuff, but the higher-ups are looking at stuff like DMC, From Software, and their own KH series and going, "This will make us money, do this with the next game."
None of these things have made them money, they also did the same with Parasite Eve, Front Mission, Lufia etc beforehand and all of those killed their series too

The demo was released. But also you're getting a lot of shills. We know of at least two Square shills who post on Ganker regularly. So of course they're going to be making threads for the game every 5 minutes. And there's probably a lot more than just two.
Well, in the hundreds of thousands od posters, 2 being shills isnt that bad.
I unironically love FFXV. Is it "good"? Maybe not, but its my go to relax game. The music, driving around, doing hunts then relaxing at the diner. Man, I just want to go camping irl
detailed story spoilers are also being posted by a tripgay named Margrave elsewhere in the board
Yeah, and it's pretty fricking kino: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q8g1My6XlD4

DAMN

AnRbros kino is back on the menu
It really doesn't get any more kino than this.
>Finally, a Final Fantasy for the people who hates Final Fantasy.
The correct pic is this
No, XV was the end of evolution from XIII which was a bastardized view of FF instead of a total rejection of it like XVI
You keep telling yourself that.
XIII will ALWAYS be a FF.
XVI and XV are non-cannon. Next FF game will start back at 15 and reboot the series.
XIII is not Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy ended with IX.
There is no connection between XIII and XV, having played them both. XV is just badly designed, which is baffling, given Tabata already made Type Zero, which is at least serviceable and operates on the same general schema.
To be fair, Tabata was basically given an incomplete mess that had been worked on for 7+ years and told "get something together in a year." And he did that. Not saying the final result was good. But he didn't get to start over from scratch. He had to Frankenstien together Nomura's scraps.
But 16 has a Dragoon in the first 2 hours?
It was a Final Fantasy for fans and first-timers and it was kind but please continue fricking crying hysterically over it like you have for the past half decade
More like for homosexuals and first-timers
>It was a Final Fantasy for fans
no fan would ever sign up to go through multiple pieces of media just to understand 15's shitty narrative.
Only fans would have watched Kingsglaive and Brotherhood and then played the game then read the book for the True ending
wouldn't it be cooler if you played through the events of kingsglaive in the game as well as the true ending? why try to make your playerbase jump through hoops just so they could piece together the mess of a story you're trying to tell?
My ex-girlfriend considered herself a big FF fan and the only ones she played were 13, 15, and the 14 mmo.
I couldn't help but sBlack person
Even funnier, because in most ways, XVI resembles Versus XIII more than XV itself, even if Nomura himself isn't working on it. A mix of Ivalice and Kingdom Hearts in the most ambitious Final Fantasy game ever made.

Versus had the cool mafia aesthetic, but yeah. 16 seems like the game 15 tried to be in many ways.
is this thing really killing PS5's? I was thinking about getting it because I have a bunch of Snoy credit
Shouldn't be. Game runs at 900p and upscales. Really poor optimization if it is somehow failing to perform at this low standard.
No PS5 killings but the demo has had nasty frame drops in larger areas, so much so that the producer is breaking his word and doing a day one patch to fix it.
the shitstation 5 is on par with a RTX 2080 and Ryzen 7 2700x. The PS5 is already outdated and it's thanks to that dog shit CPU.
>On par with a fricking rtx 2080
Not even the series x has that. The PS5 it's a gtx 1060. FF XVI runs at 900p and 45 - 60 fps (with the day one patch).
You're smoking some wack ass crack if you think the PS5 is on par with a GTX 1060. The PS4 Pro was on par with a GTX 1050 Ti and the One X is on par with a 1060. The PS5 is basically a 6700 non XT and a RTX 2080 in new games,
I'm 100% sure my xeon and 1080 ti could run FF XVI at 1440p 60fps, the PS5 can't do that.
Only in gameplay, the story and characters are as FF as it's going to get
If it pulls the usual "plot twist that makes the first 2/3 the game invalid" I would agree with you. But the game is clearly trying to seperate itself as much from anime as possible. Which I don't think is a good thing. I'm just saying, it's not going to be like FF4 or 7 or 10, which are like a Gundam/Naruto anime with the Final Fantasy name. Instead, this game looks like it wants to be Game of Thrones: Ultima Edition. Which I think is gonna backfire on it in the long run.
>But the game is clearly trying to seperate itself as much from anime as possible
How can anyone play the demo, watch trailers, see the anime ass dialogue and character poses in cutscenes, the cinematic boss fights and say that this game is trying to NOT be anime? Its literally the most anime I've seen FF be since FF8
>Its literally the most anime I've seen FF be since FF8
You didn't play FF10? That game is basically "let's take FF8 and put it in Chrono Cross' setting."
because they're moronic doomposters still regurgitating up frickin Kotaku article bullshit without any actual thought behind it.
seeing someone cry 'muh game of thrones' is almost an instant indicator to throw their take in the rubbish
don't skip the cut scenes, it's literally as final fantasy as it gets
Something something empire is bad something something crystals and summons something something giant chickens
>Something something empire is bad something something crystals and summons something something giant chickens
And these are all plot and theming things. Like I said, I don't doubt they'll hit on all the loose themes most FF games have. FF12 had characters riding Chocobos into battle like calvary. However, that's where the connections stopped. It's tone and design outside of small nods like this were trying to be like a western movie/game. More realistic instead of anime. Which is what FFXVI is looking like it wants to do.
Less Naruto, more Game of Thrones.
My son i think it's time for you to know the truth, FF didn't started with VII
FFV is my favorite game in the series. If you think it's anything like FFXVI just because it has a castle, you're an idiot.
Ok but then Final Fantasy has basically been a dead series since what 10?
And frick it I would go even farther to say that you can basically break the series up into
1,2
3,4,5,6,9
7,8,10
11,14
12
13
15
16
As all being different series going by the logic of Tone and Feel of a Final Fantasy game
I agree. That's why I said what I said in
Though I would lump 1-3 and 5 together as having similar tone and gameplay. But all the others vary wildly like you said. FF16 is just the next variation. Which will please some and turn off others.
Ah yes, as opposed to 15 which was for... Barry and no one else?
I don't really get this because from the demo, I get the same flow that I got when playing FF7R which I heard no one complaining "wasn't final fantasy". Strictly story wise, it seems very much like FF12 which I also don't hear the "not final fantasy" argument for.
Its a combination of a sctizo poster and people seething that its not the 1992-2002 JRPG golden era anymore.
When FF12 was new, plenty of people were claiming it was not Final Fantasy. Claiming MMO gameplay, Star Wars story, doesn't "feel" like Final Fantasy, ruined Ivalice, etc. It's just become accepted over time. And it's become the cool thing to like it because it's less popular than the other games. Kinda like FF9.
Yup. I've always hated FF because I hate JRPGs but I'm glad that now it's an action game that I can play.
It's just a low-mid game
but there you will have the autistic morons defending that Square Enix disaster just because a little of muh japanese shit is there
What's up with the purity tests? If it's called ff....then that's what it is
True. Respect my pronouns!
No thanks!
If it's called a women then it is. I am a woman.
What's up with all the purity tests?
Lol, we're talking about videogames not your mental illness. It ain't that serious bruh fr.
I agree. You have to be mentally ill to call XVI a Final Fantasy.
>game discussion
>immediatelt falsely pivots into identity politics
This was just as bad as a food analogy.
FF as a series has constantly been changing. This is it's strength. But it's also its greatest weakness, as each game is more different than the last. And so if someone likes a game, say FF4 or 7 or 10, then they'll likely be less interested in the games that don't have a similar design. Either visual or gameplay.
FF16 is very far away from the other FF games.
In another example, the modern Star Trek and Star Wars movies are called Star Trek and Star Wars. But that doesn't mean fans accept them.
Nice! I preordered
that is every franchise under the sun nowadays
You aren't wrong, but you also need to understand that nu-FF like 16 is going to sell way more copies than previous iterations ever did. They're following the money, which is their duty to their shareholders
That actually remains to be seen. FF15 sold far more than anyone expected. But they also cancelled the DLC and sequels they had planned. Because fans quickly gave up on it and the new players who got into it didn't want more. This game could suffer the same fate. Especially in Japan, since it's moving away from what a lot of the Japanese fanbase likes. Maybe the western fans will make up the difference. But this also could hurt the FF brand name in the long run.
Thats a great business model. Make a game for people who despite your brand. . .
Well, they are trying to copy Hollywood.
What's funny about this game is them trying to imitate an IP that crashed and burned 4+ years ago. The game probably started development all the way back then, before the disastrous Season 8 finale. But took so long to make, it's only coming out now. I wonder if the Game of Thrones inspiration will actually hurt it.
Game of thrones didn't shit the bed because people got tired of it, it wa sbecause the showrunners ran out of material and were total doofuses. Medieval shit is still popular
>Game of thrones didn't shit the bed because people got tired of it, it wa sbecause the showrunners ran out of material and were total doofuses.
I understand that.
>Medieval shit is still popular
Eh, kinda. People didn't like Game of Thrones because it was "Medieval." Which it's not even that. But they liked Game of Thrones because of the gritty, mature content. As well as the huge marketing/hype HBO gave it. It could have been set in space or in the modern day and people would have hyped it just the same.
When it comes to FFXVI, this is a problem. Because it's only taking inspiration from the superficial elements of GoT. Not that I particularly want a FF game full of pointless sex and cussing. But it also means that there's no real reason to try and imitate GoT without focusing on that. But maybe none of this will matter. The game is getting plenty of hype so it'll probably pass the marketing threshold for popularity. But then that makes me wonder, why bother working so hard to make it look like GoT and saying GoT in interviews?
Because saying it's like tactics would not do it any favors in marketing I guess.
Yeah, probably. Though that hasn't stopped a bunch of FFTactics fans from claiming it.
From the leaks there are similarities...but the whole picture is unclear
What I find funny is Ivalice has already been ruined. Every game supposedly set in that world has been massively different from FFTactics in tone and design. So why do the fans keep demanding more?
>Because it's only taking inspiration from the superficial elements of GoT
If it was a straight knockoff that'd be terrible
This is literally just "What if we made an M-rated FF" the game of thrones comparison always came off as marketing, compare your shit to something popular that people recognize
Yoshida has flat out said in interviews that it's inspired by Game of Thrones. Which is why so many people are comparing it to that. Maybe he's just doing it for name recognition like you said. But this is odd since it's 5+ years after the hype and Game of Thrones has left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths.
I remember that. The only reason I didn't let it turn me off completely is because he also said the dev team only watched seasons 1-4.
But it still begs the question of what they're even taking influence from. Just the gritty setting? It doesn't seem to be the cussing and sex. Though who knows. Maybe that'll be in the later part of the game.
Shit gets ridiculously dark
Mostly for absolutely no reason if Margrace is to be believed.
>Mostly for absolutely no reason
Sounds like the typical Final Fantasy plot. Plot twist out of nowhere, then a bunch of events that have no connection to the plot before happen. Then clean up by fighting the big bad guy (who wasn't introduced until 80% into the game).
FFXVI = Rings of Power
Lol. I really liked rings of power. Yeah it had three or so cringe moments but it was cool. As a barometer for my taste, I only liked then fellowship movie.
>I really liked rings of power
Cmon bruh...
Why are you surprised? That's the average goy that preordered XVI.
Yes, it will. GoT quickly became known as low-class even when it was popular.
Afterwards it has 0 support because both artistic crowds and normal crowds dislike it.
>low class
You're smoking crack. Tons of people I know young and old were talking about the episodes the day after they aired. Everyone was so depressed during the last season. Normalgays loved it.
Yes anon. You are low class, this is what I am referring to. It was a hoi polloi show.
Now that the mass dislikes it too, it has 0 support.
FFXV was much more of an FF game than XVI.
Edgy GOT bullshit is completely against everything the series was about. Watch Yoshida destroy Dragon Quest too at this point.
>Watch Yoshida destroy Dragon Quest too at this point.
Yoshida was one of the directors of Dragon Quest X. It's how he got the gig to work on another MMO (FFXIV).
that's what I'm saying you dumbfrick
Yoshida can't "destroy Dragon Quest" because he already worked on three DQ games and didn't destroy it back then. That's what I'm saying, you dumb frick.
Yoshida is a Massive matsuno fan.
The whole game is a clear homage to what he considers the best SE has put out.
-FFT, Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story.
I cannot be more excited, because I also believe they are the greatest.
Too bad he admitted in interviews it's based on GoT. Not Ivalice. But I'm not surprised a FFTactics gay is once again trying to make it about themselves.
I have waited decades for Vagrant story content. I will outlast you.
>Yoshida is a Massive matsuno fan.
You know who else is a massive Matsuno fan anon

Worked for Resident Evil 4.
Worked for Zelda too. Just do the opposite of what the fans want and normies will eat it up and ruin the series.
Except BotW went back to Zeldas roots. Even if you don't like those roots.
Except BotW is nothing like the original Zelda game.
It brought back the exploration of the overworld the original Zelda 1 had. But lost the item progression and dungeons. This isn't good. But on the flip side, all the other 3D games lacked the free roaming exploration overworld Zelda 1 had, while focusing harder on linear item progression and dungeons. So basically, no Zelda game since Ocarina has been like Zelda 1. They're all missing something.
>The important facts about every dungeon (first quest):
>Level 1 must be completed before Level 6.
>Level 2 can be completed in any position other than last.
>Level 3 must be completed before Level 4.
>Level 4 must be completed before Level 5 or 6.
>Level 5 must be completed before Level 7.
>Level 8 can be completed in any position other than last.
>Level 9 must be completed last.
>second quest
>Level 1 can be done anytime except last.
>Level 2 has to be done before Level 3 or Level 4.
>Level 4 has to be done before Level 5.
>Level 5 has to be done before Level 6.
>Level 6 has to be done before Level 7 or Level 8.
>Level 9 has to be done last.
Except it's as gated with item based progression as the other games. You didn't even play it because you weren't even a sperm in your dad's balls when it came out, kid.
>You didn't even play it
And you can't even read the post you're trying to "correct." Which pointed out that Zelda 1 has item progression. And used it as an example of something BotW got rid of.
>you just never played it
Now it's a Final Fantasy thread!
Maybe play the original game and stop arguing about shit you know nothing about. BOTW is the most Zelda game to date. The one that is closest to its roots.
Frick off brainlet. If you actually played the game, you'd know the similarities are minor at best.
>Wah wah
Cry more homosexual
Finally, a shitpost for people who hate shitposts
It wasn't FFXV?
I don't care how good this is, I'm not buying it. I'll just feed on spoilers and youtube the cutscenes but paying for this shit is just giving Squeenix the green light to make sub par action games from here on out.
>Based Yoshi-P saving Final Fantasy AGAIN with a based romance. FFXV's attempt was fricking laughable,
To be fair, so was the romance in FF 8 and 10. And the "romance" in the other games were little more than a dere girl obsessing over a loner man. The series has a long history of bad love stories.
I would have to be moronic enough to have bought a PS5 to do that. Imagine being as moronic as you.
I have eyes anon, and over 20yrs of playing vidya of all genres. I know exactly what I'm fricking looking at with FFXVI and I know exactly what SE are like these days. Now get back to shilling.
How can a single man win so hard?
He doesn't have much competition. If the other Square teams were making good games, his wouldn't stand out as much. He's making 7/10 games, but they look like 10/10 when compared to stuff like FFXV and Bravely Default II.
They're better devs than him. He's the B-Team, and it shows. FFXIV is barely Cinematic and FFXVI looks like a PS3 game.
None of these randos saved FF. Yoshi P did.
Not that troll. But Yoshi didn't really save FF either. The series wasn't "dead". It was oversaturated. And it still is. Yoshi saved FFXIV. But not the whole series. It's still slowly declining.
Compare the fights in the Demo vs This from 7R. It's Night and Day the style and Cinematic direction they have compared to Yoship
?t=232
Uh, one of the problems of FF7R is reliance on flashy cinematics over substance. Not saying FFXVI is going to have good characters/story substance itself. Just saying, not a great example.
Goddamn what shitter was playing that
Got to admit I prefer the grounded combat more in FF7 than the ADHD in the demo. Maybe I'm too boomer especially in the Eikon challenge where I was just button mashing and using Titan
maybe try applying yourself and learning the combat system. has nothing to do with your age. sorry you can't freeze time to play with menus.
is that a stock whistle sound? lmao sounds like world of warcraft LMAO
thank god for yoshi-p.

Every day the delay brings us closer to disaster. We must move now. Without blessing of our Mother Claire, we cannot defend Final Fantasy from the spread of the cringe...
Based Clairechad singlehandedly nuking both XVI and XV keks
I remember visiting a friend who was playing the first XIII game on PS3. Mid battle, he turned to me and said "this game is so so shit".
No one here has ever played a video game. In fact there are no humans here. These bots are just here because breitbart posted this image with a playstation logo and it was blue so it triggered them. Their code sent them here to post boomer facebook tier political takes for all eternity.
But enough of talking about Spirits Within
>"Please, let me cope"

At this point, not much is shared between the FF games other than a few references to summons, Chocobos and a bad plot.

I played the demo last night with my GF.
We both agree that after 3h of gameplay that XVI > XV
The story already seems way better, she went in not being too excited but wanted to see how the game worked to actually pre-ordering the game for us
I also said before I tried the demo that it looks like XIV if it was single player and I don’t think that is true anymore and it will stand up as it’s own game.
GOTY candidate for sure, thanks for reading my blog
post her breasts or feet or frick off
no
The romance was premade thats boring like glorifying cecil.and rose when they get laid before intro
i loved final fantasy until 2008, then hated everything after that so maybe i'll like this lol

We overreach you, Claire deniers.
You don't believe in anything. You gave up on Final Fantasy before Bary was even born, sat poisonong it by doomposting on Ganker and /ffg/, waiting for someone to come and destroy you and the series. Sure, you think the end of Claire games is salvation. All you care about is death's release. So take it, and leave Final Fantasy alone. We don't think like that. When we think there's no hope for Final Fantasy left, we keep looking until we find some. Maybe Final Fantasy is past saving, but it's our beloved series. And we will protect it and make it great again with power of Pure Heroine or die trying.
WE LIVE TO MAKE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
THAT IS OUR FOCUS!
XIII trilogy Remaster soon. XIII Remake soon.
All three are good games and better than this abomination. They're also good FF, something XVI's developers clearly despise and don't want to make.
How is XVI not Final Fantasy?
>Final Fantasy is a series by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) best described as a ragtag group of unlikely heroes learning about their world and their place in it. Personal growth stories. Crystals also play a role in these stories as small as in FFII with the Crystal Rod, or as large as FFXV and FFXIII where crystals define what characters can and can't do. Though not every unlikely hero is playable, their growth takes center stage in both gameplay and story, which is why you have Jobs, character classes, and changes in ability acquisition systems every entry or so. Combat systems also tend to differ from entry to entry. Games also use physical appearance to show that strong changes in character have taken place for certain characters, like Kain in IV and The After Years, Garnet in FFIX, and the l'Cie brand system in FFXIII. No matter what the worlds look like, there is always a mix of magic and technology influencing the setting.
>Now there are two 'main' strands of Final Fantasy games.
>Games by Kitase and his people (Nomura, Toriyama) strongly focus on interactions within the player party, and by seeing characters develop, you learn more about the world and the events that go on in it. Characters tend to drive the plot as a result and by uncovering themselves do story events move forward leading to many plot twists and turns. as is the case in the XIII 'Lightning Saga' trilogy. These give these games strong emotional impact, which is what X is especially known for.
>Games by Matsuno and his people (Yoshida, Maehiro) instead focus more on warring factions affecting the player party, and characters develop separately from lore. In these games, characters act in response to political intrigue with long in-game history, which what drives the plot. You also get some commentary here too, like with the Yugoslav Wars and Square company culture as in Tactics, or even some nation building in response to migrant diasporas in XIV.
First of all who wrote this?
Don't you ever get tired of samegayging so much?
Genuine question.
Nta but are we witnessing the birth of a new schizo? Who's this anon
Some wannabe Barry but for XIII instead of XV.
The Claireposter wrote that definition of Final Fantasy?

This is the only valid branch. No strong focus on politics shit, just shonen manga and Hollywood cinema magic. No edge either.
FF is not necessarily linear. FF8 for example drop the rest of the characters and just focus on Squall's personality and Rinoa, in FF12 Vaan is just there, FF3 and 5 are more gameplay focused, etc
16 is more about Clive, the world, and whatever he has with Jill
If you notice, his pasta didn't even consider FF1-5.
Classic, more than one decade shitting on those games and they are suddenly good
Same will happen with ff16 I guess
>it's not FF! it's GoT! says the shitposter for the 100th time
>story midway literally goes into mind control and Ultima and Joshua saving Clive by absorbing Ultima inside him setting up for another Phoenix+Ultima VS Ifrit match up like the logo.
It's like you gays are just hating for the sake of hating because that's all your identity that's left. The meme is right, you gays hates videogames.
Spoiler alert:
So, how is it still not confirmed whether Jill and Clive divorce at the end, he takes the baby and Jill takes the dog in the settlement?
That's pretty much 99% of the plot, the rest is just there.
There's two endings. You get one or the other depending on whether or not you got Jill to sign the prenup
baby?
Apparently Joshua is reborn, again, like the shit in SOTC and ICO. The original spoilers claim at the end Clive holding the babby and Jill walk down the road, then they part ways and she takes the knot
Weird Crazy stuff must happen in the endgame then cause they've built up Jill and Clive a shit ton
>at the end Clive holding the babby and Jill walk down the road, then they part ways and she takes the knot
Someone translate what the frick does that even mean
It means the game is shit.

>they didn't even end up together
Fricking called it. Saved me 70 dollars.
The jan leaker must have rushed the hell out of this game given he stated there's no reason behind it. No fighting, or falling out, just a ton of buildup that doesn't get addressed. Do't think CBU3 is that incompetent.
Important characters just exiting the story and with no meaningful relationship resolution is exactly what CBU3 does. Remember how close WoL used to be with Aymeric in HW and especially with G’raha in ShB? By the time the next expansion happens, none of it matters.
Please tell me this is all bullshit. There's nothing worse than being blueballed for 30+ hours straight. Either commit to that shit or don't bother at all. Frickin japs.
It's bullshit. There's way too much buildup and they literally worship each other for the ending to become that autistic. It's just the slowest of fricking burns so no one knows yet
What's this then
I was referencing Metroid Other M

Why does this board turn into a bunch of telenovela watching sweater knitting fricking homosexuals with this shit? I thought Ganker was a sausage fest. What the frick is this? Sick of shipgays
It's cute.
>shipgays
moron, that's not shipping, that's self inserting. People want those two to get together because they seel themselves as Clive and want to frick Jill. Shippers are an entirely different beast.

LMFAO
homie doesn't know that action mode only means that you're not automatically equipped with journo crutches. Everything else is just gonna be as the same as story focused mode until you beat the game and unlock FF mode.
Hiding the likes of a random who, I wonder why
are there seriously no breasts in this shit? the cute female designs is one of the few true highlights of the franchise and if you're going to be "inspired" by GoT, nudity might as well be the element to take away from it
we get a frame of nipple, tops.
Did the leaker finish the game?
never played an FF game (maybe like 2 hours of ff7remake)
im hyped as FRICK !
>It's another "I play FF for the combat" thread

Hasn't Final Fantasy has pretty much been like this since 1
That sounds like some resetera

that is a westoid
Seems like nobody is actually enjoying the demo except paid shills.

Got a 3 day ban in a previous thread for saying I wanted to play 3 homie's in a row FF which is what most of us want right?, mods here a big fricking cucks than youtube mods who only give you a 24 hour ban for straight up hate speech against the tribe.
Last good FF was 12, 13 was okay.
Do they think the format doesn't make money or something now? that you need to appeal to zoomzooms, didn't DQ 11 show that this genre is still very much profitable?.
The genre is dead. Even DQ12 is moving away from it and going the path of XVI.
Why you have to hurt my like this on a sunday night right before bed, you just made my whole work week that much shitter.
Your fault for listening to gaming "journalist" and a troll online. Dragon Quest XII isn't moving away from turn based. It was a rumor that idiot journalists ran with as a fact.
Don't worry, SMT and Persona will carry the 4 homies in the row legacy.
So are we finally reaching the point where contrarians would just openly degrade themselves into thinking that FF13 is le good all along? Just so they can drown themselves in their thirst for another tortanic disaster?
Yep.
Stupid Claire deniers.
Her games may not be perfect or even good, but they are extremely ambitious and inspired. Claire games have obvious problems everybody knows about: lack of exploration, extreme linearity with gameplay loop being reduced to "go forward/fight/watch cutscene" pattern, obvious pacing problems, especially in the second half of the game (see Fifth Ark dungeon). Then script writing is poor, events planners did many debatable things in some key scenes, music direction isn't consistently good, overall literary presentation lacks polish. Everybody knows it, and I don't understand why you, Claire deniers, still chimping out about it as if it's some kind of revelation.
The thing you don't see is that her games have ambition, deep lore, nice atmosphere, optimistic tone, the most refined art direction in series, best girls, good thematic core and scenario ideas. With proper, at least fricking working engine, sane production management and enough development resources FFXIII Remake and its sequels have infinite potential. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
Now kneel before the Queen and apologize.
I don't hate XIII but I wouldn't call it good.
XV deserves the hate it gets.
>Now kneel before the Queen and apologize.
>inspired
This is why I respect 13 tbh. 13-2 was close amazing and LR could have had seamless combat. I wonder how the 13 and Nomura/Tokyo Team are going to work together for the 7 remakes.
XIII was always good and XVI will always be dogshit.
you'll survive, crybaby-kun
He's right you know
>pace of the story is horrendously languid
>based off a demo
is he a moron or are you a moron for listening to him
people calling it goty from the demo alone are correct
people saying they don't like it based on the demo alone are morons
He kinda has a point
>starts the game with epic kaiju fight
>lol sike it was just the protag daydreaming
>alright kill this person don't ask why tho
>look at this (partially) prerendered scene between two factions killing each other don't ask why tho

>protag got bonked by the rubble and just as he started to lose consciousness he has a flashback to his teens 13 years prior
That's just the first ~5 minutes and it's already an incompetent narrative experience.
You are actually just moronic sorry. You could make a post like this for practically any game.

He's wrong. It is an abomination that's worse than, Allah forgive me for saying this, worse than Forspoken.
It's not worse than Forspoken.
?t=417
I JUST KILLED A GAME STUDIO WITH MY FREAKIN' GAME is at least funny
There's nothing to characters merely yelling the word frick repeatedly. It's cringe in of itself, lacks any personality, and cannot be twisted to be humorous. Worse than Forspoken.
If that helps you cope. Sure, I guess.
I feel bad for the doomies.
They had everything stolen from them in just one demo.
Doomers are going to bash the game in any way they can, no matter what.
Thankfully there are a lot of posters here who will praise and defend and love the game no matter what, so the doomers can't get a foothold.
Can I get an amen from all the posters who will adore this kino and defend it from Barry and his band of shazamtrannies every step of the way no matter how the game or the story turns out?
Nah. If it's shit, it's shit.
If it's great, it's great.
Sorry Jackbro, but this post is a miss.
AMEN!
Hope this is a falseflag attempt. This is pretty fricking cringy if not.
does it make a difference? a lot of posters here are making it very clear that's the plan
After all the work I've done to stamp out dissent before release it would be a shame to waste that effort. Regardless of how the game turns out I will be staying the course to destroy tortanicgays.
You will end up like the morons shilling the demake of FF7 by praising the combat: laughed out of the building.
Amen brother
Amen to that
Honestly after everyone loved the demo you'd think the doomers would bow out gracefully
>you'd think the doomers would bow out gracefully
This is all they have.
And being backed into a corner only makes them double down and schizo out more.
They're not exactly stable people. What else would you expect from people whose entire lives revolve around FUDing anticipated games for hours on a daily basis? That they'd be well-adjusted? That they'd have the self-awareness to quit while they're ahead?
Lmao.
Beautiful seeing them btfo like this. XVI fans aren't taking it lying down like others would.
Amen
Based
Cringe
I know tortanicgays haven't had a win in years, but this might be the most brutal mogging they've ever had. They really underestimated our commitment to defending this game. I'm proud of you homies.
Based. Also read the new announcement that was just posted in our discord
Not just FF, people who hate all JRPGs and turn based games.
I have yet to see anyone defend 16 without resorting to "Yeah well it's ok if it's shit because all JRPGs are shit so it's still better"
I'm glad of it in a way, the FF16 fanboys are such c**ts they're putting people off the game
>they're putting people off the game
Sure. That's what's happening.
moronic take. I love jrpgs and turn based game and FF16 looks great, it's gonna be fun.
Are those the mandated shitposting scripts from your discord?
Define what Final Fantasy is
An adventure to save ethe world featuring jobs, magic, magic technology, crystals, and a person named Cid
Remember, the closer we are to release, the more aggressive and desperate these tortanic junkies are gonna be with their ramblings.
Yeah, but they don't really have much left.
They already dropped their "MUH DAY-1 PATCH THEY HECKIN LIEDERINOO HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA WHOOO FLOP" narrative.
So all they have left right now is twisting and spamming Margrace's spoilers in order to ruin it for everyone else.
Do I count as a tortanic junkie if I think the game looks very similar to XIII?
It's another hallway to cutscene simulator
If you constantly seethe about a game every day, you're an obsessed junkie.
If you aren't interested just move on with your life.
The game has a free demo so anyone can literally try it themselves if they want, you aren't going to fool anyone with your wrong opinion one way or the other.8
Do you assume anyone who posts opinions you disagree with is 'constantly seething'...?
When they constantly make or enter threads about games they don't like. Yes.
That is literal seethe.
There's nothing wrong about disliking it, but stop thinking anyone who does cares to hear it.
Well I didn't claim the entire game looks terrible and I hate it or anything, just that I'm worried it may suffer from the same issues as 13.
Honestly you seem mentally ill and I will not be replying again.
>I'm not seething, I'm just "worried"
Cope.
the irony is he is combing every single XVI thread to b***h at anyone who says anything negative while accusing them of being obsessed
Nah I played Lightning's games and at the very least from what I've seen from the demo flashback's end until they meet Benedikta the first time it's still not as cutscene heavy as the start on Cocoon.
Looks boring and generic honestly.
>>For people who hate FF
>Still too many fetch quests

He wants to fight more shit.

did you guys see his naked scene with benedikta lmao, he was seething over her still being in love with cid
Post it.
We don't actually know yet. Leaks so far imply that there's a romance building up, and they almost kiss at one point. I don't think the leaker has finished the game yet though.
Nah, I hate Final Fantasy and the demo just felt like the 7 remake which I didn't care for. I've yet to understand the appeal of any Final Fantasy. I'd rather play Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. That game for me is like Final Fantasy if it was good.
>i'd rather play quintessential japslop
>overdesigned little girls running around oversaturated meadows
Yeah, I can see why FF never appealed to you kek
Anon that's the second one, which I hate with a passion
>Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.
yeaaaaah maybe don't speak when your taste is something this shit.
Square really deployed their shills on Ganker, huh?
Are they even paid? Nobody sane would blindly defend, for free, a game that is not even out yet, let alone play it themselves.
All the posts feel so artificial
Oh yes only the negative ones are genuine and they are totally written by sane, healthy mind human beans.
I'm curious how much Barry is paying people to make hate threads 24:7, unless he's actually just doing it all himself.
People who like thing I don't like are paid shills.
People who like thing I like are based fellow patricians driving interest organically.
Simple as.
>You like the game? You must be a shill!
Doomposters get more pathetic everyday.
Good morning, sir
>fake leaks cope destroyed by margrace-kun
>fps cope destroyed by day -2 patch
>flop cope destroyed by the extreme hype the demo produced
What do they have left? Let them have this.
>extreme hype
Where?
Literally any social media platform.
Including this one here which was your initial complaint.
Have you ever tried getting out of your personal headspace for a second see what's out there whenever you're not scouring XVI threads in Italian pasta cutting forum?
>fps cope destroyed by day -2 patch
To be fair, don't jump the gun on that. There's no indication that the patch will fix all the framerate drops. Nor that it will do so without graphical concessions.
I hope it does, but don't get too preemptively smug about it.
Damn, Joshua's GF is qt.
Falseflagging is a desperate move.
is he wrong?
Very obviously so, they are practically not even hiding it's a shitpost
what part is wrong?
Every part
Too obvious. Jackposter had me fooled, but the followup was pretty shit.
Its probably that turnbased-sperg. He sounded really salty about eating a 3 day ban and being too stupid to figure out how to get around it.
So a Final Fantasy for Final Fantasy Fans then.
I hate Final Fantasy and I have 0 interest in this game.

zzzz where real critique at
Why are so many people here just miserable?
We're discussing videogames in the videogame board sweaty
Because they're doomers who know it's over. We're going to continue calling this game kino and GOTY no matter what until they finally give up. They know it's over so they're extra angry now.
I wish people could just enjoy video games, or, failing that, allow other people to enjoy it, while they look to something else they might enjoy more.
I do enjoy videogames. I have XVI ordered already. I also enjoy seeing people who want to criticize the game getting BTFO.
I don't mind critique at all. Healthy criticism is always good. The stuff about the FPS drops is more than fair, and I hope it's fixed.
But all I see is attempts to tear it down or selling "this is not to my tastes" as some kind of judgment of something's quality.
There are more than a few genres I don't like. Doesn't mean those games all suck and are for morons.
critiques are fine if I agree with them, and if the problem is something that is no big deal and also being fixed. a critique is okay as long as it doesn't lead to someone calling the game bad, it should just be a small complaint followed by a clarification that they still love the game
>The stuff about the FPS drops
People will say it's cope but these complaints have always been a platform issue more than anything else. Not since the PS2 have had consoles with reliable FPS near the 60's and that's just the way it is. Developers (and consumers) have both accepted 30 FPS across the board or else they wouldn't have continued to purchase games with those limits for decades now.
Are dips below that on a regular basis good? Obviously not. But do I blame each game specifically? Not really. Optimization always happens over time and not by release. But complaining about poor FPS on every single game just comes across as such a whine. It's like complaining during the 360 era that everything had the brown shit filter. Like yeah, it's indicative of the platform, it is what it is, can we talk about the GAME
I too dream of a day where I never have to see a negative post about any game I like on Ganker. Imagine how good threads could be if they only had positivity in them and haters were booted instantly. We aren't even allowed to be hyped in peace and it's a shame.
Not really my point.
But critique exists to better something.
This is more about tearing something downg because you consider it an affront to your sensibilities.
Agreed. Threads would be better if everyone just agreed the game is amazing in every way and we talked about all the things we love about it.
You could engage with my actual post instead of just this rote spamming of your programmed lines, anon.
Trying hard today aren't we? I truly pity your brain who could only comprehend the state of things between two opposing extremes.
I already said critiques are acceptable if I agree with them and if they aren't a big deal and if the poster makes clear they still love the game despite the minor complaint.
Are we not on the same page?

>without all the Final Fantasy bullshit??
It's still gonna have cutscenes out the ass.
>final fantasy cutscenes are too long
have you ever played a videogame released in the last decade
I didn't say it was a bad thing.
but you implied it was something inherent to final fantasy.
Final Fantasy is very movie-esque/cutscene heavy. Has been for a while, no?
yeah, and i said that the maqjority of recent AAA games has been like that. So it's not Final Fantasy bullshit anymore, it's just the direction the industry has taken towards cinematic movie-like games
Who here comfy, ready for this trainwreck to release
a game for people who hate games, like most AAA slop.
There must be some truth in this because 16 is the first FF game I like the look of. The FF7 remake games look good too. Lost Odyssey was the best FF game anyways
Man Torgal is best boy.
What are all these weird ass Lightning/FF13 shitposts in these threads?
Have doomtrannies completely lost their minds?
Calm down, Claire denier.
First of all, kneel before the Queen, Pure Heroine and Prettiest Muse, and apologize.
Second: big reveal for you, but your assumption that Clairechads hate FFXVI is generally wrong.
I'm sorry she's pretty but way too thin.
Also she's never coming back, gotta accept it friendo.
Uh She's a model for Louis Vuitton now.
Don't go to /ffg/. It's a deliberate reaction to a certain autist who is fond of a cancelled game, FFXII and FFXVI.

Who the hell is this?
>Neither Torgal nor Clive appear very excited or happy to see eachother again
dropped
How come no one even cares to spoil this game?
there's threads for that
So far the only person on Ganker that has an early copy is someone that actually enjoys the game and isn't trying to ruin the experience for everyone. I'm sure early copies will fall into shitskin hands soon enough so you can gleefully spread spoilers around.
Another day, another moronic shitpost on Ganker
If Yoshdia was confident in FF16 he wouldn't need to namedrop Kitase and Sakaguchi to give more credence to his cope that it's the "real FF". It's the first they are having that argument to begin with, not even with FFXV you had to justify that crap being Final Fantasy, lol.
What the frick did he mean by this?
He was conveying what was told to him by someone he greatly respects.
If he didn't ask those people then you morons would just switched your moronic narratives to Yoshida being a massive arrogan prick who wouldn't even bother asking for opinions from his predecessors.
I know your game here, imbecile.
Yoshida homosexuals have the worst victim complex on this website. What's the point of him paying lip service to the series whose legacy he doesn't want to be "shackled by"? Why not make a new IP then? Nothing would be holding him back.
No, you purists have the worst victim complex in this website you imbecilic dogpiss shitstains. He asked his predecessors inputs because he wants them to see if his vision is appropriate enough to be a mainline FF game, and guess what? They approved. Or what, do you think that Yoshida held them at gunpoint and forced them to be his mouthpiece with a made up talk?
You can tell you guys are trannies by how heavily you're leaning into this psychoanalysis shit.
I can tell you're a self-hating MMO troony because you keep bringing up your axe wound to the conversation.
>more psychoanalysis
proving the point
The point that you're afraid of psychoanalysis, because you have major issues you don't want to face? Yeah, you will definitely have a nice day when this dog shit movie game bombs.
>If Yoshdia was confident in FF16 he wouldn't need to namedrop Kitase and Sakaguchi to give more credence to his cope that it's the "real FF". It's the first they are having that argument to begin with, not even with FFXV you had to justify that crap being Final Fantasy, lol.
If asked their opinion because their opinion is important to how he wanted to proceed, he respects their ideas. He's not name dropping them, he's relating how he approached his decision making process, part of which obviously was to ask the people who had worked on the series the longest would have chosen to proceed. While YoshiP does seem to be a great project manager he's never really gotten to full create a game entirely from scratch with only the name to begin. I'd fricking ask them too.
Go to bed, Barry. That demo was sick af
I'm in love, guys.
Tfw those feet whenpajeets will never ever ever get to play Bloodborne
did anyone else notice the barry-isms slowed down after the leakerchad told him to choke on it?
I think he might've gotten banned here and there.
I imagine that at this point, his sights are set on yoinking Margrace's leaks and reposting them on twitter and other sites to ruin the experience for people preemptively.
interestingly all of the leaks are really good so far and I think he might be honestly just fricked.
He has ban evaded historically, so I have no idea where the moron has fricked off to.
Barry is like Sephiroth. His name alone conjures enough fear in MMO-gays. When he arrives he strikes down a hundred shills with 1 post.
He can twist them. He did that in these threads as well.
And even if the leaks are positive, then it still sucks for people getting their experience spoiled. Yes, he would do that- he's that spiteful.
Everything we've heard about the story so far is proving that it's kino. Any negative responses to the leaks have been people twisting the info to pretend it's bad.
Everyone who decided to love the game regardless of what happens in the story is eating good right now and the doomers are struggling.
The lack of romantic ending is atrocious.
It's been 20+ years since, it's fricking shit.
Frick off, romancegays. Go watch telenovelas for you weepy love drama.
Turn off tv if you want shitty politics, death and misery everywhere.

actually, "off" works too.

Yeah, it's still wishful thinking.
I hope it happens, but yeah. Time will tell, I guess.
man it was definitely funny this time!

Even funnier!
Do you honestly believe otherwise? I guess not since all you can do is tell everyone it's making you angry
Hilarious!
He is gathering strength in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
>the leaks are really good so far
Including Benedikta's incompetent character writing and miniscule significance to the story?
>narrative treats the hot seductress villain as a hole
Did she deserve it?
>Benedikta's incompetent character writing
I hate when you clueless homosexuals try to appeal to writing when you have no idea what you are talking about. Please go ahead and enlighten us why her writing is so incompetent, I will wait.
Sick 'em
how is it incompetent?
i concede that you might not like it, but how is it bad?
anyone with a criticism needs to be grilled until they admit they have no idea what they're talking about.
No, but I don't think Benedikta not being given the due any one person feels she should be necessarily reflects upon the quality of the writing.
god damn that was so based I almost got a hard on. probably the highlight of my month. the leaker really told barry to frick off, it was so good. this is what I live for now. honestly we need more posts blowing barry the frick out. what is barry's current status anyway? what's he been tweeting?
the only thing this thread lacks is more barry discussion
Did the Margrace leaker respond to the people asking him if he was still enjoying the game last thread?
He says the game is 10/10 and amazing so far, which is the only reason we're still listening to him. If he betrays us we can no longer trust his info.
He said he's only been enjoying it more and more. He admits that he doesn't like a chunk of the sidequests, though.
Nah. He said he'd be going to bed, working, then playing again after getting home and after that he'd share more.
Complete and utter desperation, anon. They're still reaching for their next doompost narrative, so they're just falseflagging and acting passive-aggressive in the intervening time.
How long has he been playing? It sounds like the story's still ramping up and he's been at it 30-40 hours
He's been doing all the sidequests allgedly, so he's farther behind on the main story than someone who would be doing exclusively that would be at this point.
But yeah he's been at it for a bit and he said the game really only just now opened up, after the second timeskip.
The funny thing is that nothing the doomtrannies do will change anything.
People will play the game.
People will decide on their own if it was shit, worth their money or amazing.
It's out of their hands and out of our hands. Only time will tell, and their utter helplessness galls them to no end.
What's with the falseflag spam?
pure desperation because he couldn't fetch negative responses from social medias without having to scour every nook and cranny for it.
I don't know but it's touching a nerve and I don't like it
Maybe Margrace rightly figured out it's pointless to try and share information here if he has to deal with autists like Bazztard and just decided to enjoy the rest of the kino on his own.
Haven’t followed all the leaks, but has the leaker mentioned why Joshua never let Clive know that he’s actually alive? He’s had 13 years to do something about it.
MMO devs = MMO quality = Bad Writing
Why is nobody in the media talking about how dark everything is in terms of visibility? I watched like 20 minutes of the demo footage on YouTube and I could barely see what was happening.
Granted, it was in a dark dungeon-like area, but I've never had problems with visibility in other dark dungeon areas in other videogames. Here I could barely see anything.
The combat system being like DMC5? Maybe it is like DMC5, which would be great. But I sure as hell couldn't see what the player-character was doing like 70% of the time. I know that he was attacking and juggling, but the animations of the attacks and juggles? Can barely see most if it.
Even in the darker areas of DMC5 I could see what was happening, like in those Qlipoth tree areas (or whatever the frick they're called).
>Why is nobody in the media talking about how dark everything is in terms of visibility?
Developer literally addressed it yesterday in the stream.
>no clivexjill art
it's ogre
so fricking ogre bros
Jill just seems so fricking boring. Clive hooking up with Benedicta or even Dion would make a more interesting story.
If only they gave Jill Tifa-sized breasts...
Since CBU3 already lifted so much from GoT/ASOIAF, I wish they had copied Asha Greyjoy as the main heroine instead of creating a less interesting Sansa but with powers. But who knows, maybe the full game will surprise me.
>Since CBU3 already lifted so much from GoT/ASOIAF, I wish they had copied Asha Greyjoy as the main heroine instead of creating a less interesting Sansa but with powers. But who knows, maybe the full game will surprise me.
I honestly think they used GoT more as an example for how english speaking people write dialogue and tone more than cribbing story points. It's vastly improved over previous iterations and writing tone outside of your own language can be a challenge. Square's localization in the last 10 years has been much better though.
The script influences are obvious, but there are clearly story and character elements that were just lifted wholesale from GoT/ASOIAF. The demo story setup for example almost borders on plagiarism.

>said youth also has a magical puppy gifted to him by his Lord Father, secretly has a super speshul destiny, and his friend from childhood is his father’s ward (read: hostage), taken after the ward’s land was subjugated
>Lord Father is a kind and just man and a fine commander, but he’s married to a woman who hates our protagonist and dotes on her younger son, who also looks more like her, while our protagonist resembles his father
>our protagonist feels unwanted and excluded, so he skips the great feast held by his father and instead sits outside with his dog, broods and stares at the sky
Who am I talking about: Jon Snow in the first chapters of AGOT or Clive Rosfield?
I don’t even mind it much because I’ve always wanted an AAA ASOIAF game, but this goes well beyond “inspiration”.
Yeah bro that's such an original concept that GRRM invented... you're moronic.
Feel free to find another example where all of these elements and these exact characters are present in this very order right at the very beginning of the story.
Did not know it was that bad. Makes sense however. I never liked the look or sound of GoT or the books and avoided them.
The same dislike is present here with XVI.
There are some Clive x Jill fanarts.
Seems our boy has been busy on Twitter.
Just saw this in my timeline and it's weird when new people get exposed to his antics.
How the frick do you end up so deranged that everyone ends up disliking you
>Just saw this in my timeline
Go back and leave your moronic drama there.
>normies absolutely blasting barry in the comments
holy frick he's going to end up on kiwifarms at this pace
This game is going to be such a massive clusfterfrick. I cant wait to see the full story.
They're probably cooking some dlc for it already.
The last good Final Fantasy was Lost Odyssey. Sakaguchi took the soul and the body if the series with him when he left. All the new guys know how to do is showing off on camera with ridiculous hair cuts.
>not only Joshua forgives Clive for assaulting him pre-timeskip, he shows up with a single minded goal of saving his big bro
>Clive keeps a Phoenix feather as a keepsake
>inb4 it ends like Xenoblade 2 with the feather bringing Clive back to life
>inb4 it ends like Xenoblade 2 with the feather bringing Clive back to life
Probably?
Wtf is this preventive cope? the debate is about is they get together in the story, not if they live together in the end. By this criteria FFX is "cuck" too .
He nailed it. The same will happen when Cloud is murdered.
the point is that no matter where they end up, we're calling it kino and anyone who wanted it to be different should be derided for it. we need to be ready to adjust a soon as we get confirmation.
Amen
We are going to see this happen, no doubt about it.
Amen
Based. There is literally no outcome where I'm not saying doomers and Barry have been btfo by kino. Best case scenario is they end up together and I pretend the only people who hate it are trannies who are mad that a straight white couple are together in the end. But if they're not it's still a win. We have to win. We will win.
KYS falseflager. That just not the case, when the leaker originally said that Clive and Jill had no chemistry a lot of people were disappointed.
We now know that this is not the case. you can cope all you want but tragic romance is still romance.
>you can cope all you want but tragic romance is still romance.
Yes, yes! This is just as planned! But remember, tragic or not the game is kino and critics are wrong.
Having no one take your side about turn based games really fricked you up, huh?
It's going to be funny when Yakuza 8 outsells FF16
Idc about the success of 16. I just want total turn based death. Tick-tock boomer 🙂
Square Enix are the only ones dying, if SEGA and Gust become the new kings of turn based, all the better for me
Square Enix is surely dying this year! Record profits after ditching turn based garbage lol.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/square-enixs-full-year-sales-dip-6
this success only exists in your mind, everything is declining
So in the year they released forspoken as their biggest title they only had a dip of 6%?
This would still put 2023 in their biggest years ever.
Perspective
This is how a company with real problems looks like.
holy shit what happened
Ubisoft has more than 20000 employees across the whole world in different timezones, a management hell. And there is a problem when things need to reach bigger and bigger values to pay for bloated projects.
>AIIIEEEEE no NO You cant count an action game made to appeal to the west among their failures, it needs to be written off because of reasons!
Are you going to say the same about FF16 when it flops?
>drop turnbased games
>????
>profit
Fricking who would have thought catering to people with learning disabilities and poor motor skills wasn't a solid business model
At least they corrected ship with 15, even if it was shit.
I know you're trying to create a shit discourse. But the fact people think SE abandoned Turn based games when they are probably the publisher who still does them the most is hilarious.
Explains the 6% drop then
The usual, people who only look at FF.
Octopath must have caused that 6% dip. Even Flopspoken outsold it.
This is another good plan. Anyone who isn't positive should be strawmanned immediately.
Did they mention wanting turn based combat back? No? Don't worry about it, dismiss them as a turn based gay anyway! Also pretend it's all one person.
The haters won't be given an inch.
Amen.
You are so fricking bad at this...
You should just post normally instead of doing this cringe shit.
He cant, he's been doing this shit for 3 years in 7R threads. Even the jannies ban him now.
The guy who is strawmaning me as a turn based fan is also giving me posting etiquette tips? lmao
Look when I made a baseless strawman argument to dismiss your criticism, that was good posting. Everyone should do it.
But when you made fun of me for doing that? That was cringe. And even though you succeeded in mocking me and making me mad, you're bad at this. Post normally, with baseless strawman accusations.
lmao
Shut up turdbased gay. You suck at false flagging and samegayging.
Damn I really gotta up my game and post like this more
I am not that guy... you are just a schizoid
This only proves you own a phone. Probably one of the ones with cartoonishly large buttons too. Old people make me fricking sick.
You fricking suck at this. Go get a guru shitposting like Barry or some /vg/ autists.
>But when you made fun of me for doing that? That was cringe. And even though you succeeded in mocking me and making me mad, you're bad at this. Post normally, with baseless strawman accusations.
kek
Imagine spending months making threads doomposting this game day after day only to get btfo'd so hard by one demo, you have to pity them a bit honestly.
I don't pity them.
I want them to take meds and do something productive with their lives.
>Finally, a Final Fantasy for the people who hates Final Fantasy.
But enough about Final Fantasy 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 15.
>skips 14
lol of course
>Skips 1 - 4, 9, 11 and 14
Now why would that be I wonder? Fricking moron who cannot into media literacy.
>Now why would that be I wonder
Your taste is awful for liking xiv. pretty simple.
Where did I say anything about my preferences, homosexual?
You already have. Now you're on damage control.
what's your resetera account name?
>So obsess with 14 that he can't even see that anon also skipped 1,2,3,4,9 and 11
Mental illness.
>So obsess
GMS
It also skipped 11, obsessed moron
Mid fantasy 16
Final trashtasy 16
Jill sounds like the heroine with the larges amount of presence in the story all the way since Tifa to the point when it feels weird that she weren't give her own Torgal esque commands
It's the power of childhood friends
>since Tifa
Yuna was essentially the main protagonist of FFX and Serah WAS the actual protagonist along with Noel.
Wow ill there be a part where she becomes the leader and main playable character while clive is incapacitated? And then she'll leave to take care of Clive and you'll have to use the other party members?
You mean since XIII? XV is just so hilariously bad at handling the game's main heroine character to the point it makes people think that they haven't seen a prominent heroine role in a long ass time.
In many ways Clive/Jill feel like an apology for how shit Noctis and Luna were
Did you start with 7R or something, 6,10/10-2, 12 and 13 had more relevant female characters than Tifa
Weird take because while i agree that Yuna is really important, all of 7 can only be done because Tifa and Aerith are there.
How do you even measure "Ashe is more important than Tifa"?
7 in general has such strong cast, it's kinda insane. Even the optional members like Yuffie and Vincent are loved.
We dont even need to remember how it also has famous villans like Scarlet.
>6
Both female leads are almost entirely irrelevant to the story because it's an ensemble cast. They get slightly more attention than characters on average but nowhere nearly as much as Tifa.
>12
Again, the attention is split almost evenly between Basch, Balthier and Ashe
Thinking about how in 3 months barry will become a FF16 gay in order to shitpost towards 7R. He's such goofy guy lol
Shillboum got BTFO so hard lmao.
that guy just looks like a massive schizo
It's bad enough seeing it here but when you see people on twitter who spend their whole lives in petty fanboy b***hing matches it's so fricking pathetic
I ain't reading all that
lol look at the cultists being unable to handle basic critique
I saw your comments, you're the schizo who uses multiple accounts to complain about EW? Also keeps typing open spoilers and gets mad when people call you a moron.
Dreamboum is moronic, but you're more
>Black folk calling each other a Black person
ZODIARK
The renaissance painting trailer was pure, undiluted kino.
The way they are hyping up bahamut is interesting.
You homosexuals are clearly twittergays so just tell the rest about barry and maybe they'll ban him too
I really hope the twitter staff take us seriously when we report him for ruining final fantasy discourse
