      Zoomers are obsessed with shit like sales figures and Twitch view counts instead of actual video games.

      Because they like the identity politics of identifying with a successful video game far more than playing a video game, having fun with it and maybe talking about it.
      Putting other games you don't particularly like down is another way to elevate the things you like.

      Alternatively they just like shitposting more than games and want to watch the world burn because it provides tons of gallows humor.

Trend chasing Western teenagers is sad state of affairs but that's the bed Square made with FFXVI.

Clive could’ve used a pause combo or two but the fact he has stuff like enemy step, cancels, and nero’s charged moves for combos is better than 99% of other action games nowadays either being some form of souls shit or nu-GOW where there’s no fun allowed.

      I hope so. You would not believe just how many hours, days, weeks, months I have spent dedicated to defending/hyping this game up every chance I can get on Ganker.
      If you heard how much time I've spent keeping the reception of this game positive here you would think I was joking, seriously.
      And the funny part is I don't even think it's a 10/10 masterpiece or anything. I know it was a little disappointing. But again, the reasons I do what I do are so unbelievably sad to say out loud you would think I was making them up.

      The bottom line is I refuse to let the doomers and haters win, even if there are only one or two of them. And if I have to sacrifice almost every minute of free time I have to do it, then that's fine by me.

      That's why you don't make it an exclusive for a platform that barely anyone owns. FF isn't a brand that people will buy a console for anymore. That ship sailed with the dogshit XIII era, along with XV. Imagine being hype for those games then actually playing them lmao.

        ye, they fucked up hard by not launching it for steam at the same time
        they might bundle the first DLC with the PC release and renew the interest. I'm buying it, hope they have that port ready once the exclusivity deal ends

      a lot of people started hating it for the exclusivity deal, many of those anons faced snoy fanboysim and became more fervent in their hate
      usually, if you dislike "thing" and another person tells you that you are a retard for disliking "thing", if you are immature enough and take everything personal, you'll end up hating "thing", "thing" enjoyers, the team that made "thing" and everything related to "thing"

    This makes no sense. Every single major FF game comes out several years after the console has already been out. The only real exception was FFX, but Sony had nothing for the PS2's launch so they threw a ton of marketing money at that game and it did well.

    I guess the argument works if you're considering that this a mainstream series and so the existing install base will flock to it, but buying a PS3 to play Lightning's game? Literally no one did that in 2009.

    Personally I enjoyed XVI. It doesn't beat out VII or X or anything like that but it was a nice hearty meal of FF, way better take on real time action combat than XV.

    Financially there was no way a PS5 exclusive was gonna hit the sales numbers expected by execs, and even discounting that, the final fantasy brand is damaged to shit. Considering the past decade and a half of mainline FF, I'm satisfied with an okay game that beats out XV and XIII and tides me over between VII Remake and VII Rebirth. Won't deny I was a little bit disappointed it was just okay and not a slam dunk of an FF, but that's how some of them be. Just look at VIII, and I love that one.
