Hajime Tabata announces JP Games will create an RPG on the recently announced "Japan Metaverse Economic Zone"
>先日、"ジャパンメタバース経済圏"プロジェクトを発表しました。たくさんの問い合わせをありがとうございます。 JP GAMES設立時から考えていた、ユーザーと企業が共生する新しいRPGを創ってみよう的なプロジェクトになります。 時代は進み、それはメタバースと呼ぶ方が伝わりやすくなりましたね。私の会社もグループ会社化しました。 ゲームの可能性をさらに広げていきますのでよろしくおねがいします。
>We recently announced the "Japan Metaverse Economic Zone" project. Thank you for all the inquiries. This is the project that we had envisioned when JP GAMES was first established, a project to create a new RPG in which users and companies coexist in harmony. Times have moved on, and it is easier to call it a metaverse. My company has also become a group company. I will try to expand the possibilities of games more.

sigh
they end up censoring for west anyway
FUCKING HACK I HOPE YOU FUCKING DIE FOR RUINING VERSUS AND SETTING THE FINAL FANTASY FRANCHISE BACK YEARS. GO FUCK YOURSELF IN METAVERSE JAIL YOU WORTHLESS DOWN SYNDROM LOOKING ASS RETARD
I am no fan of Tabata. But you say that as if the franchise isn't still moving backwards.
Versus 13 may have started the action game shit, but they've just doubled and quadrupled down since. It's fucking over. R.I.P.
S-E should've spun-off Final Fantasy as a lower budget series and kept the turn based system starting from FF13 and onward. I wish Versus 13 was turned into a PSP game so it wouldn't have been cancelled.
Unironically this.
Kind of messed up how much freer Dragon Quest is like this. Those games can be on high end systems and handhelds at the same time. And no insistence on scope or budget or whatever will stop it.
Meanwhile Bravely Default wasn't even allowed to be called Final Fantasy because it was low budget.
It's probably just Horii holding things together. Once he goes, prepare for rape.
>Meanwhile Bravely Default wasn't even allowed to be called Final Fantasy because it was low budget.
The thing is, why call it FF when it can be its own thing and generate a new IP?
Making all games be named based on the same 3 IPs isnt a smart idea.
nomura ruined versus
also SE is fully in on nft shit your retard including Nomura and Kitase
Based, can't wait for this 50 year old downie to go bankrupt after going all in on the meme technology that's going to be used by 20 people.
But my balls are not metaverse
I don't even know what is metaverse but ok.
WERE IS THE RESIDENT SCHIZO DEFENDING TABATA
HOLY FUCK IT'S OVER
How in the world hasn't barry killed himself at this point
I don't much care for Square Enix
The guy isnt working for SE since 2018, wtf are you even talking about?
Kotaku didnt write an article about him so they do not know.
I finally gave up on this company at FF7R
>goes from FFXV to metaverse crap
how the mighty have fallen
That's fucking hilarious.
Barry your hero is making metaverse crypto scam mobile garbage that won't last 6 months. How's that taste?
He would be working on something like that if he stayed with Square regardless.
I think Tabata had atrocious ideas with FFXV but i still expected to see him doing new games, and was genuinely curious about them.
To see him end his career doing blockchain games...
well, if you followed interviews with him during the FFXV marketing cycle and stuff, he would say things like "the person most upset about the delay is my daughter, because she will not see me for 3 more months". Never expected him to go back to AAA after going through this.
Yeah if there is one thing we can say, is that the dude did one of the most insane marketing campaigns i've ever seen for FFXV. He travelled the whole world to promote the game. He put his soul there.
Game development is ruthless nowadays. You work on 2-3 AAA games and 15 years have passed. Not only you lose your life, but if you have a child you also lose their whole childhood.
Right. Not trying to say he has it much worse than anyone else or anything. But he was the one being public about this issue, so it's no surprise he wants nothing to do with that life anymore.
Kitase and Nomura are crazy. They are in this industry for more than 26 years, and in roles of producer/director. Most legacy devs at their age work on less projects or become supervisors.
How the fuck these dudes keep taking projects consecutively.
most likely they'll retire after FF7 Remake Part 3 is finished, unless they have a death wish.
>after FF7 Remake Part 3 is finished
Bold of you to assume there'll even be a Part 3.
So, how is life being like in 2020, bro?
Having plans for multiple parts does not mean there'll actually be that many parts.
Their plans will change. After part 2 sells way less than part 1 then it's over.
Unironically hope you're baiting if you still believe on this 3 years in. But if you really believe on that it ends up being funnier, so whatever.
You sound like the people who insisted that XV wouldn't get shafted. But then its expansions were downsized and then outright cancelled.
Sure. So, how do you think it will work, the next part will release early 2024, and it will be the next one or will it be cancelled?
confirmed by Chad Kitase himself
Toriyama directing a potential FF X-3 or a FF X Remake. Nomura will have to hand over KH to someone else at some point
>Toriyama directing a potential FF X-3 or a FF X Remake. Nomura will have to hand over KH to someone else at some point
Nomura will end Sora's story for sure before retiring. Will SE keep doing KH eternally because it is a big IP? yes. But he wont let things unfinished.
Kitase probably will, but nomura will keep going for as long as he needs to because of KH
Toriyama isnt as old as kitase but he also talked how he had to think a lot about working on FF7R, being such a huge project it could be his last one.
hahahahahahahaBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OHNONONONONONONONONONONONONO
Post >yfw you aren’t barry right now.
He’s 100% going to rope after this.
>literally dying for a company
>Tabata fired, falls for the Metaverse meme
>Forshitten flopped
>Luminous Productions closed
>Yoshi P and Nomura literally the only people saving Shit Enix
kek the absolute state of the poomoron chud.
imagine being Barry
yoshiP defended metaverse
nomura released ff7 cloud figures of his old art only available with NFTs
also Luminous devs just became regular se devs again, the change was only on paper not physical and also theyee the only aaa devs free to make ff17 right now because yoshitpiss said he isn't doing it and nomura isnt doing it either
kitase and saito are all in on nft blockcga metaverse shit as is the literal CEO of SE
the recently disgraced and disbanded Luminous Productions team will not be working on FF17. S-E will assign FF17 to CBU1 or CBU3
He will parrot that because he doesnt have anything
luminous was butchered, tabata does nft games. What the hell can he even do now?
ff14 1.0 team made ff14 arr hw and are doing ff16 so no
The Luminous devs are making ff17 as regular SE devs
nobody from CBU1 is free because 7R 2, 7R3, KH4 and a new AAA IP are in development at CBU1
And yoshitpiss said he is not making FF17 or any future mainline FF and instead will use the FF16 team to make new projects while FF14 team continues on FF14
That leaves only the 150 Luminous devs who again physically are unchanged at SE and only on paper just says theyre regular SE again, that leaves only then to be able to do FF17
also considering those devs are mainly all FF devs anyway and SE already stated they are now working on an existing AAA IP and will continue engine development it only can mean they are the ones leading FF17
And oh there just so happens to be a presentation by Nakazawa who did a presentation on what he'd do if he was making the "next FF".
>That leaves only the 150 Luminous devs who again physically are unchanged at >SE and only on paper just says theyre regular SE again, that leaves only then to be >able to do FF17
Once again, these devs will not be working on FF17, each and every one of them will be dispersed across all four CBUs. As of today, no one knows which devs have been assigned for FF17 and there are no leaks so far.
It's over for you, Barry
I feel like a decent chunk of them will be put on FFXIV since Yoshida has lamented in the past about a lack of programmers and they are pushing a big graphics update for the next expansion.
poor devs will end up being bossed around by Yoshi-P, no more autonomy for them. On the bright side, CBU3 will have access to the Luminous engine and they'll borrow any tech that's useful
Once again they are on FF17 and you're literally coping over this
Noble got dispersed or anything theyre like all on the same floor and desks theyve been at for over 5 years
the Luminous devs who became SE regular are rhe only AAA devs at SE available to make FF17, have been STATED to be working on new AAA existing IP and engine development, amd literally are full of FF devs including one who LITERALLY DID A PRESENTATION ON WHAT HE'D DO IF HE WERE TO MAKE THE "NEXT FF"
It doesn't get any clearer than that
CBU1 is busy on FOUR AAA games with FF7 Rebirth, FF7R part 3, KH4 and a brand new IP AAA action game so Kitase and Nomura are fully booked
CBU2 not AAA
CBU3 Yoshi-P said already he's not making FF17, said he wont do any more new mainline FF and said he's only going to to continue FF14 and otherwise do non FF projects, so the FF16 team is going to be on non FF shit after that while FF14 team continues FF14
Leaving the 150 Luminous devs who JUST became regular SE branded devs again to be the only AAA devs at SE and who are explicitly stated to be working on AAA existing IP and engine development and that they would take the positive reception from the combat system and parkour systems they made into their future development, and with Nakazawa the guy who was gamely lead and who also DID A PRESENTATION ON WHAT HE'D DO IF HE WAS ON THE "NEXT FF"
Literally only they can be on FF17
And its already in development because every mainline FF starts development before the previous one releases, and oh look the Luminous devs who became regular SE just so happen to be free
They are making FF17 as regular SE devs
Cope
Seethe
You have no argument to dispute this
>durrr they won't put devs of a game that bombed on a mainline FF
FF14 1.0 devs are making FF16
Cope
nah
>Leaving the 150 Luminous devs who JUST became regular SE branded devs again to be the only AAA devs at SE
Suppose Forspoken did well and Luminous still existed, in your eyes there would be no SE devs free to work on FF17, clearly SE was either fine with this, or had another team working on it. The plan sure as shit wasn't to hand their flagship to a relatively independent satellite studio, or to shutter Luminious regardless of the success/failure of Forspoken so they could come back to SE. It's fucking wild that you put all this effort into autism detective work over what teams are occupied at SE, and reach the conclusion that they had no idea who to even put on 17 until the Luminous chuckleheads just happened to land back in their lap.
Mentally ill shitskinned monkey is addicted to copium, lol.
Luminious will more likely work on a FF8 Remake than 17. And right now they need to help KH4 and others projects.
I can even see FF17 going for another guy like Chiba(in a if the game sell well he will be let to do World of FF2), Kujiraoka, The Stranger of Paradise director or a young guy to have a fresh breath
>Yoshi P and Nomura literally the only people saving Shit Enix
On a AAA side , those and DQ.
On a AA side, the SaGa gacha and remaster are selling great(the gacha gave millions) , Live a Live , Mana and Triangle also sell great
Mana will also made Barry seethe because he think the Legend of mana ost is unmemorable compared with FFXV
Kitase final game probably will be FF5, he will push like Nomura is pushing Verum Rex.
They will probably "force" Toriyama and Nojima to do another FFX, after so many people eating and Shilling the RE4 Remake, there wont be as much seething. I would probably prefer them doing something new with the 7R battle system in a 'success or die' shit like they did with forspoken
Disney wont let Nomura retire , is a big name for KH that is as big as it was in 2003
>Mataverse
>NFTs
>crypto
For fucks sakes, didn't they get the memo this shit is dead? Who are they trying to market to?
This information basically says nothing. We don't know how gameplay and art will look like. You still have time to apologize before Tabata-san passion project, Yoshi-chuds.
Seeing barry trying to hype a blockchain game after forspoken would be the funniest thing ever.
YoshiP said he'd make a NFT game if it was planned to have them from the start
Kitase praised NFTs and blochchain and metaverse in his new years message
Yosuke Saito is literally the board member for SEs NFT blockchain metaverse sector
Nomura had Cloud strife figures based on his original art have them only purchasable with NFTs, and yes Nomura is highly involved in the SE figures of his characters
yeah and your beloved Tabata fell for the Metaverse shit meme
Every major player at SE is all on on metaverse shit its literally all the same
yeah and I cannot wait to watch their downfall.
fucking retards are so out of touch.
Barry? Barry, are you okay?
>2016
Times change.
Nice attempt at trying to impersonate Barry, but it's missing....missing...je ne sais quoi....
bros how the fuck does he always show up so quick to a thread.. you really should just tripfag at this point
Why exactly are NFTs bad for games again? I never see any arguments against it. It's always just instant doomposting
Because at best they add absolutely nothing and at worst they do nothing but attract the worst aspect of MMOs: RMTing 3rd worlders with thousands of bot accounts trying to make a living.
Because every bullshit promise with nft can be done without nft.
Also
how the fuck are financial pyramids related to videogames? i just want to play a fucking game ffs
something along the lines of craft an item -> sell it -> and make money. Or a company released a skin that is available for a limited time and each unit has a "NFT" code. that skin can be sold for money.
>I never see any arguments against it.
Because you pretend the arguments don't exit.
What's next, a Kinect game?
UHHHH BARRYSISTERS??
OUR RESPONSE??
Jesus fuck, much i hate to admit, even churning gacha would be better than NFT shit.
He is here lmaaaaao
Is even bringing nomura out of nowhere
HEY BARRY YOU WILL SHILL BLOCKCHAIN GAMES NOW, HONEY
Going from Forspoken to Blockchain. Sisyphus' journey...
Kitase, Saito, Yoshi-P, Square Enix NEW CEO and old CEO, Nomura are all in on NFT, blockchain metaverse
>Kitase, Saito, Yoshi-P, Square Enix NEW CEO and old CEO, Nomura are all in on NFT, blockchain metaverse
Give me a name of any blockchain game that they've worked on
The only one doing it is yosuke saito
Kitase is a durector of the board of SE itself so he's backing it on a company level
Saito and the CEOs too
Yoshi-P readily defended NFTs by saying he'd make a game with them if it had them from the start, that is his stance
Nomura had figures of his old art only allowed to be purchased with NFTs
All of them are pro NFT, pro blockchain, pro metaverse.
That's not what Yoshida said. He said forcing NFT shit into current games is not the way and that it could *probably* work if the game was designed from the ground up from it.
That's literally what I said retard
No you claimed he said he'd develop an NFT game, he never said anything of the sort.
See
yoshitpisssisters... its ogre...
>n-no do not pay attention to all the bostd members at SE defending metaverse or NFT or blockchain
cope your precious yoshiP isnt any better
It's over for Luminous Productions and Luminous Engine
imagine being this much of a pathetic cuck you try to imitate a lolcow's post
Im glad im not terminally online enough to have any idea of what style of post you're even talking about.
lads Barry's not gonna like this
Dude, look at the thread. He is already here.
He is chain replying everyone to say SE is also doing it because the president loves nfts. The despair is real.
You sound mad that kitase, yoshiP, saito, DQ producers, Nomura, and SEs CEO all defend NFTs blockchain metaverse shit?
>Japan Metaverse Economic Zone
sounds sinister

>"RYUGUKOKU (TBD)” is a Metaverse infrastructure with a Worldview
RYUGUKOKU (TBD) is a Metaverse infrastructure that incorporates elements of an online alternateworld role-playing game (hereafter referred to as "RPG") based on a unique fantasy worldview of its
own.
Sounds like an MMO built on the Metaverse, it's a risky project, however they could always pull the NFT stuff out as long as the gameplay is good enough
>Sounds like an MMO built on the Metaverse, it's a risky project, however they could always pull the NFT stuff out as long as the gameplay is good enough
eh most likely it's going to have a lackluster combat system that is similar to most MMORPGs.

Not only he is doing a blockchain game, he because part of the whole business model.

He should've joined another Japanese game studio instead of starting his own

As he does believe that as a new business model, it could be possible to make an interesting game with NFTs if said game is exclusively built around NFTs from the beginning.
oh no no no
>Square went from making jrpgs to nft and metaverse games
grim
This retarded was booted in 2018, so in this case it isnt SE
I though Symbiogenesis was going to be related to Parasite Eve, turns out it's some collectable NFT art project.
If you had bought Avengers, NEO TWEWY, Valkyrie Elysium, Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Bravely Default 2, then maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be diving headfirst into already dead markets while the world is getting smothered with an avalanche of financial disasters.
>avalanche of financial disasters
>two banks with known ties to russian oligarchs and saudis collapse because they can't get funding from russians to cover their horrible embezzlement and investments anymore
lol
The only side collapsing is the western publishers because they are bloated and with unrealistic metrics to reach. Japanese companies are inclining for more than 10 years, and their biggest objectives right now is to hire more devs.
Looks better than SEs NFT shit

Based Tabata trying to kill metaverse once and for all.
what if S-E decides to join the "Japanese Metaverse Economic Zone"?
I've noticed how in every nft thread there is one person posting huge texts saying things like
"Hey, maybe they can do it" or "this isnt that bad, it looks interesting"
There is unironically a crypto retard shilling this shit here every day.
What the hell, man. Wasn't he mostly a normal guy in the Crisis Core/Type-0 days? What mindbroke him? He's not even stuck at Squeenix anymore.
the development of FFXV on the Luminous Engine is hellish experience. Combine that with him trying to build a "Universe" for it...
Waiting for threads of Barry promoting tabata's nft game while saying it is better than FF16
yoshitpisssisters... it's over...
>YoshiP also mentioned that the day before the stream, he ended up spending most of his time going through certain emails. These emails ended up related to the Metaverse and NFTs discussion.
>The NFTs and Metaverse discussion started at the 22:30 timestamp of the YouTube stream. Yoshida explained how the Metaverse is getting popular in Japan, and how he received many interview requests to talk about it. He accepted these requests as they can always serve as a way to advertise FFXIV. However, he'd like to make sure what he thinks of the Metaverse is conveyed without misunderstandings, and he's allowed to review the content of all interview articles before they're published by outlets.
>At that point, the Twitch chat of the live stream started spamming "NO NFTs". (Starting at 38:00 on Twitch and 25:12 on YouTube). So YoshiP reacted to that, telling everyone to calm down, adding that the Metaverse and NFTs are completely different things
>However, Yoshida would like one day to have the opportunity to speak with a Western outlet in an interview unrelated to FFXIV. To explain what he thinks of NFTs outside of FFXIV. As he does believe that as a new business model, it could be possible to make an interesting game with NFTs if said game is exclusively built around NFTs from the beginning. Lastly, Naoki Yoshida stressed out that if he ever made a game with NFTs, he'd still focus on making an interesting game
Barry, are you okay?
his game/metaverse studio is experiencing a nightmare...
>Posting giant texts to misdirect
oh boy
I bet he regrets ruining Versus 13
Tabata has one more chance at TGS 2023, hopefully he drops a trailer for one of his two AAA games
Nothing of this will happen, you will get a nft game at most.
I dunno, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that Tabata didn't bet his entire company on Metaverse/NFT crap. this year's TGS is only a few months away so he could turn things around. Otherwise, if his company is a no show then it's over
It's been 5 years since he left SE, and his biggest announcement so far is how he is creating the Grand Line for crypto scammers. There is nothing going on, only this blockchain trash.
ouch, it seems like he's Inafune 2.0
Oh she's so sultry, I wish she would slap me
It's his shitty NFT game bro. He sold out and you need to accept it.
Dammit, if only S-E didn't fire him. We would've gotten the rest of FFXV's DLCs and Forspoken would've been a different game that might've been a success.
I will forever be angry we never got Episode Aranea. I hate when hot girls are trapped in dead game limbo.

Fuck me that is dire.
To think that only 6 years ago there was a bizarro world where this hack was lauded as a savior of Final Fantasy with everything bad about FFXV/Versus XIII cancellation being pinned on Nomura and treated as a matter of fact. The endless onslaught of tearjerkers about "poor Tabata" who was given "a bad hand" and him being freed of all responsibility by the gaming media, lol, I bet some of these gays feel really stupid right now, knowing that their idol is just another NFT/Metaverse scam artist.
Is the power of the sad ending TM.He discover that when he worked on a FF7 prequel about a popular character and is his only trick, like Nomura's mystery boxes and Matsuno introducing geopolitical shit to made the story felt better
