>the (MMO)RPG shit and the +20hrs of cutscene bog down the action gameplay they should have committed to instead
>game failed to capture new players while relying on the week 1 sales the Final Fantasy brand ensured, and ended up alienating long-time fans of the series even further
What went wrong with this game's development? Why did they cut off a bunch of stuff like Leviathan and made it DLC we have still heard nothing about?

It was pretty dull. I don't feel I would have been missing out had I just skipped it. It's not awful or anything and there's bits that I think are okay or could have been good if they handled it a bit differently, but I was not impressed overall.
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.
have a nice day abo
>mfw you can never actually tell when it's a falseflag and when isn't
literally me
tranny game
stop posting this garbage you retarded abo
>another seething thread
have a nice day abo
It's fucking hilarious seeing MaximilianShill risk his own pay wage to shit on FF16.
He'll still slurp up any reheated DoCslop they offer him
You mean DMC? Those games don't bother pretending it's worth to try being a movie game, or that the story in them is anywhere groundbreaking like Yoshida and Maehiro delude themselves to be.
Dirge of Cerberus you fucking retard
>>b-b-but they are self-aware!
no they aren't, Nojima sucks up his own farts as much as the retards who buy compilationshit have been for the past 20 years
the biggest fucking meme is that Yoshida is the diva dev of Square Enix with a massive cult following, when Nomura and Nojimatards have been sucking nipponese cock for as long as they've been able to walk
quests and loot needed a major overhaul, NG+ difficulty level should have been in from the start, and the desert continent sucked. otherwise i liked it. it wasn't missing approximately 30 hours of game the way xv was.
>What went wrong with this game's development?
Can't have been that bad, it maintained the same director throughout unlike it's predecessor.
FFXV with Royal Edition ended up the superior FF game.
none of the dlc added anything worthwhile to the game. it needed a whole second continent. about three things happened in the story, it didn't need more backstory of all these characters who ultimately did nothing in the game.
Yeah, base game is good enough as it is. Not deliberately trying to shit on series tradition is a big plus for any FF game nowadays.
>FF1 is about the cycle of samsara being broken and the world's balance restored through people with faith in the divine.
>FF2/3 are about people who've become so proud and self-absorbed in their degeneracy that they are unable to accept death.
>FF4 is about how hatred is the opposite of life, not death or the darkness within each human soul, which is in turn completed through love
>FF5 is about how the torch carried by previous generations is kept forever alive through their descendants and those who keep respect in their memory
>FF6 is about how love gives meaning to life, having the power to bloom even in the bleakest of deserts
>FF7 is about how the real origin of our creation is rooted in love, and this is where we find our most primordial identity. The esoteric Sephirot(h) imagery is used so Cloud can affirm he's not a mere emanation but someone who is loved of his friends, and that of Aerith, who went back to the real Promised Land and not the one SHINRA sought to build, solely so she could provide you with supernatural help in saving the planet
>FF8 is about how the uneasiness of change and death and an uncertain future can be navigated through love, which unites people even through time
>FF9 is a celebration of all the previous themes, an ontological odyssey about the soul's first origin and final end.
>FF10 is about the Fayth entrusting the future to a new generation in the same way a loving parent does
>Yoshida-san you know that iconic thing we've repeatedly put on covers to convey the divine in our game and throughout the series as a whole?
>uh yeah it's just rocket fuel in Endwalker lmao
>Yoshida-san wat do for FF16?
>Obedience and discipline and not giving in to your base urges is bad, self-absorbed humanity is better off creating a world by themselves. You also kill the crystals and le god with zero questioning about if this is ok to do or not
Not a real Final Fantasy game, not a real Action game, and not a successful game by any metric.
Hey zelinkfag you abandoned your thread again
It’s literally not me just stfu retard
Kys tranny. No idea who you are but you got an army of retards thinking I’m you. Mentally Ill homosexual just die.
What compels someone to seethe about the same game on a daily basis?
This is The Spirit Within of the Final Fantays games.
And for the record I don’t post anymore without my trip. If you think I’m this retarded Barry homosexual you can just go die in a hole. I have played final fantasy since the 90s and can give 0 shits about your retarded console war. In fact ff8 is one of my favorite games ever.
whatever barry, can you shut the fuck up already and just spam your images? I'm sick of your homosexual coping.
This is a new level of mental illness, monkey-san.
Is this Barry. Can you tell that retard I’m not you? Thanks. Also call off your cado poster I’m tired of him too
I'm not Barry either, I pop in every few months or so to laugh at the oneguy who is desperately trying to justify his cult obsession with Yoshida. It's meant to be ironic because a big element in the story of XIV is people being tempered and magically brainwashed to worship magical entities.
Whatever. That dude is unhinged as fuck. He thinks I’m his bogeyman when this is my first time EVER coming to these cancerous threads.
Yeah I take care not to associate my public gamedev stuff with things that come out from here in case that guy in particular recognizes any of it.
Any time you see him ranting about Zelink or Zelda he’s referring to me. Lol
Stop calling me barry. Seriously dude. Call me Zelink schizo but never Barry. That’s basically an insult. He’s like an ACfag type individual. Don’t want to be associated with that crap
have a nice day abo
While I condemn the disruptions in the first place, the cutscenes are skippable. They really aren't a big deal.
>the shit story isn't a big deal because you can skip it altogether
