It brings me extreme joy that this bombed atrociously enough for Square Enix to be in legitimate financial trouble.

Literally all they had to do was release it on platforms besides the PS5 and it would have been successful
I have a Switch and PS5 and PC and had no interest in this game, this doesn't look like anything I've ever, ever enjoyed about Final Fantasy.
That said PS5 might be the actual worst platform for it to be on, 95% of people who bought it just put it on a shelf so they could tell their ghetto friends "i aint poor i use stimulus check foh ps5"
>I have a Switch and PS5 and PC and had no interest in this game, this doesn't look like anything I've ever, ever enjoyed about Final Fantasy.
This. To me they can release it on every platform under the sun at 90% discount and I still won't buy it.
This weird cope that the PC port will save it is surreal. I highly doubt it'll even sell 100k.
>95% of people who bought it just put it on a shelf so they could tell their ghetto friends "i aint poor i use stimulus check foh ps5"
Accurate
Disturbingly accurate
Genuinely schizophrenic and chaotic, posters beware.
yeah I played the demo and it was fricking ass kek. I’m their target market too, play tons of jrpgs. I wonder if sony knows I got the demo but not the full game and if that metric is something they REEEE about. I hope so 🙂
>That said PS5 might be the actual worst platform for it to be on
Sony Derangement Syndrome is unreal.
Does Octopath 2 scratch that old ff itch?
Not really. Story is uninteresting and disjointed and it’s also piss-easy.
He said octopath 2, not ff16
I doubt it
it would've maybe clawed 4 million sales instead of 3 million shipped
this would've been novel back on ps3/360 days
The only reason this would've led to more sales is that some pcgays would've fallen for it thinking it was good when it's a piece of shit. Releasing on a dead console was the least of its problems.
Nah i wouldn't buy that shit, FF has been shit since 13.
>t. PC enjoyer
Maybe starfield is more up your alley
Also shit
This is the most bafflingly moronic image I've seen all week and it's only Monday
It's probably a barry false flag to make turn based players look moronic.
Turn based trannies don't need help looking moronic though.
You're doing the lord's work anon. You even copied the filename!
Very proud.
Dead genre kek
turn based troons spam their cringe garbage instead of playing their copy pasted menu sim shit.

Can we finally admit the gigachad meme is dead? Killed by shithead contrarians.
This is what happens when you allow low-quality posters to proliferate, Jesus Christ they can’t even shitpost anymore
4 homies in a row
make them homies wait they turn
This is so bad that basedjaks would be an improvement
Except it didn't, nor is square in financial trouble because of it. FF16 and pixel remasters are in fact the reason square isn't in more trouble.
Guys I can't believe Square Enix is finally going out of business. Did you see their stock prices? It's plummeting!!! Finally this company will be dead and it only took them 16 Final Fantasy games to finally get there.
I saw a youtube video the other day where the youtuber was saying that Square Enix is really in trouble over this one. I also saw a few people tweeting saying that Square Enix is dead now!
I for one am so glad that this company will FINALLY get what it deserves.
You have attracted the ire of the cultists. We will now have a slow thread where they pretend XVI is winning and the IP account is 1/10th of the post count.
>Square Enix to be in legitimate financial trouble.
?
What i find really funny is that people think SE will be in financial trouble for one game, as if SE was an indie company that depends on the sales of ONE specific game
what's really funny is how people look at headlines and headlines only, don't do any sort of research just to shitpost FF16
But it didn't. Forspookin did.
FF16 tanked the stock in Q1 FY 2024, Forspoken released in Q4 FY 2023, if it was because of Forspoken then the stock would have tanked in Q4 FY 2023.
Stock isn’t real moron, their earnings are in the green. They could literally eat -20% stock price for 6 years before they start getting in trouble
The operating income is in the red in Q1 you tard
>Cut content that the proven leak already said were happening months before the game released
>yoshitpiss lied about not doing DLC because he was just trying to salvage the image of ff16
It did bomb
every devs fricking lie you moron. its way to create hype and speculation. remember how they also denied 7R and XV for PC?
>>Cut content that the proven leak already said were happening months before the game released
What if both DLCs has nothing to do with Leviathan? What will be the next cope?
i think ff16 was goty but i also agree with every criticism of it
It bombed for being PS5 only though
this
its an amazing game. going back to plat after I finish up the ng+s of ac6
sad people will just keep shitting on it having not played it... until it finally makes its way to pc and they can actually taste

It's the resident FF schizo, they've been here since 2011
Just ignore them. It's early morning in Melbourne, they'll be asleep soon.
you must be new
It didn’t “bomb”, especially when you take into consideration that it’s single platform.
It literally met SE’s expectations. By definition that’s a success.
Still pushing this narrative? Square enix doesn’t lose 30% of its value from meeting expectations…
PlayStation exclusivity is killing the final fantasy brand, square enix is crippling their only franchise long term because they are desperate for cash short term. Square enix either divests, or sells within the next 5 years. Watch Xbox grab them, and hell will break loose.
>doesn't know how stocks are affected stocks from failed past endeavors
FF16 nearly flopped even with console bundles, FF14’s numbers are down. Sorry dude, your favorite company is failing. You can mental gymnastics what ever reason or excuse.

Oof. At least 7R2 looks promising.
*Part 2 of the sequel to Final Fantasy 7
It isn't a remake it's a very bizarre sequel fan fiction where all the characters are repeating what happened in the original
Still has more gameplay than fricking 16, and 7 Remake was already more of an interactive novel than an RPG. I'm just happy we get open zones now instead of corridors.
there's like 10 hours of cutscenes if you count dialogues as cutscenes, and the game takes around 30 hours to beat, 60 for doing everything, your ratio isn't working at all homosexual
16 sacrificed way too much for the "cinematic experience" meme. I thought we got over this bullshit two generations ago.
it sacrificed nothing because they wanted to make something different than the usual FF. The only thing that was clearly sacrificed is the budget. I'd be surprised if it's even half of FF7 Remake part 1's budget.
>16 sacrificed way too much for the "cinematic experience
It's because Yoshida figured

And don't forget sidequests that make MMO quest design look good. Clive is everybody's b***h boy who they send out to collect rocks for them.

They're temporary AND controlled by NPCs.
So no party.
>not exploring early for hunts
Worthless trash that's not fun. They could've added a mini game but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE CAN'T HAVE FUN
>def party
If you can't control, choose and customize them, they are not party members. all games follow this same rule
>>if you are trying the end hunts
here we go useless hunts again. that's like telling people to do hunts in XV and thinking that's okay
>only spamming flashy spells like a machine gun
it's a flashy game
You didn’t realize you could hold down the triangle button for stronger magic, clearly. Play the game next time, moron
>At least 7R2 looks promising.
Looks just as bad as the first part.
Yeah, it bombed so badly they just greenlit two DLCs for it. You stupid fricking cretin.
Hawkeye DLC will save The Avengers
>planned and sold in more expensive editions in pre-orders
vs
>considered but not starting work on DLCs before gauging the game's reception/success
FF16 wouldn't get shit if it bombed
Somehow people dont understand that it didnt bomb, thet set a completely fricking moronic sales target and obviously failed at reaching it
That's not even what happened, it sold exactly as much as they predicted but meeting expectations isn't enough to offset all their previous flops.
It hit sales expectations. It didn't offset their flops like Forespoken, Marvel Avengers and NFT R&D. A lot of people here are just trolling because it's a Sony exclusive, but it's wild how many actually fall for clickbait game journo slop
>what is sunken cost fallacy?
They greenlit a second season of dlc for FFXV.
January leak, which has been proven 100% correct, said DLC is happening so we already knew DLC was in the works since January
there was no sleipner that becomes the horse
What, yes there was. It was Barny's gay friend
? he never became the horse
play the game instead of watching it off youtube.
Yes he does
Why the frick else would his name even be sleipnir if he wasn't odin's horse you tard
>100% correct
yeah I remember when Clive gently walked Jill home on the beach
They were there naked, the details are correct, you are coping,
and they have no chemistry even in that scene
they literally fricked dude
Sleipnir wasn't an "ally" in the traditional sense. He was an egi, an elemental being made entirely from Barnabas own aether. The same way Garuda has her elemental sisters. Minor detail, but context helps.
Stocks tanked because of previous failures finally showing their long term effects. Not 16. You're IQ will never increase reading clickbait headlines but not the information.
XV was a multiplat title with 10 years of advertising.
>This, so much this
Back to tumblr, redditor.
>Stocks tanked because of previous failures finally showing their long term effects
you're actually moronic lmao
The tank in stocks started with XVI's launch and then continued to dip when the report from Q1 showed XVI didn't have as strong as sales as past FF games and the operating income dipped hard.
>You're IQ
No kidding
That's not what the analysts said
>Sales of the latest installment of the long-running role-playing title did not meet the high end of the company’s expectations, Square Enix President Takashi Kiryu told analysts on a post-earnings call Friday
>“The Final Fantasy franchise’s profitability is weakening and improvements will take time,” Citigroup analyst Junko Yamamura said in a note to investors.
>“All sub-segments within Games were lower than expected,” Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal wrote in an investor note. He has a hold rating on the stock. “Mobile 1Q revenue (-18% YoY) is a major reason why we have not rated Square Enix as Buy, given the saturation in Japan market and increased competition from the likes of NetEase in Japan.”
>Toyo Securities analyst Hideki Yasuda said "This is a very poor result, and it will be impossible to increase sales further unless the price is significantly lowered. Most of the failure is a result of the pre-publicity and the actual game itself being too far removed from the Final Fantasy of the past, leaving consumers behind."
Most of the analysts that attended SE's investor meeting, including TOYO Financial Group, Jefferies Group Investment banking and Citigroup Inc. Investment banking were saying that SE is underperforming and not to buy SE stock.
https://jp.gamesindustry.biz/article/2308/23083007/
According to Toyo Securities' estimation, MMO and Smart Devices contributed to a decrease in profit of around 3 billion yen, while the Pixel Remaster and other factors resulted in an increase in profit of around 1.5 billion yen. They believe that the remaining difference of approximately 10 billion yen represents the loss (deficit) from FF16. The accuracy of this estimation is uncertain, but it seems reasonable to consider that a significant portion of the decline in profit is attributed to FF16.
The outcome ended this way because they fully amortized the development costs during this quarter, while the number of sales days was only 10. However, the estimated initial sales of the packaged version in Japan were around 370,000 copies, and even at the current point, it is slightly over 400,000 copies. It is a problem that it has not shown significant growth since the initial release. As mentioned last month, if FF16 is expected to have a long-term recovery, it should have shown a different sales pattern. This is also why the author considers it a failure.
>BofA
>They have no chemistry
>They never get together
Lol, game disproves this.
Barry still seething that FFXVI is going to be milked to save the company because Flopspoken wasted hundreds of millions of dollars
If there's anything that saved Squeenix's ass it was 7R and 14. Nobody gave a shit about 16.
>Nobody gave a shit about 16
millions disagree
clive rosenstein has a devilish grin
they abandoned the genre.
they abandoned a large portion of their fanbase by doing exclusive PS5 shit
they abandoned gamers by putting homosexual shit in it
Il starting to think they only used PS5 exclusivity to minimize the damage. Rebirth has a smaller exclusivity release window.
And imo, the next game will be a traditional FF.
Doesn't really bother me as long they continue making Octopath Traveler.
The supposed turnbased gays talk more about this game than the turn based games
Proves how wrpgs mog jrpgs
I hated it, the game is shit.
It doesn't bring me joy though, I just feel sorry for them. Cause they ruined ff14 for years to work on that pile of shit and ended up losing money and losing a lot of the potential for growth the streamer influx gave them.

You almost start to feel bad for him.
The death of Luminous really did a number on him
Why mods even tolerate this fricktard?
Either they surrendered or Microsoft is trying to make yoshida resign to hire him
Unironically ff16 and yoshida would have been forgotten if it weren't for these threads
What can they do?
Also watch his bot reply claiming this is fake because he spammed reports to get two posts removed in the past.
They need new creative leads.
Sakaguchi was sacked for less than what Nomura/Yoshida and Tabata lost in terms of profit
And will allow Nomura to go for the kill as the best Final Fantasy developer.

That bot might be the closest thing to resembling a human in here.
One very mentally ill autist and some contrarians who can’t find a place to seethe about 16 outside of Ganker, because they get instantly shut down outside of it.
I’d say this is the usual story with/v/, but the autist is actually insane.
It sold poorly, it is literally the lowest selling mainline FF in Japan and the lowest selling mainline FF worldwide in the last 30 years.
I liked FFXVI
>make the whitest AAA game of all time
>it craters financial
>gets ganked by BG3 LGBT+ BIPOC edition
Chudsisters...our reponse?
It’s a bundled title. It will continue selling as long as people keep buying ps5s. Don’t be shocked in a year if they announce it’s reached 7+ million
Yeah, just like how you used to claim that this game would be the best-selling FF, would sell 5 million in a month and would eventually sell over 20 million just because it's a Yoshida game, right?
This, and the XVI shills have been on round the clock damage control.
I like to think that in their desire to continue their push away from turn based RPGs they're utterly baffled by how well Baldur's Gate 3 has done.
I'm having fun with the game, nothing else matters to me.
I guess all those starfield shills are now back to their normal shitposting routines
It brings me great joy you wasted your entire summer seething over final fantasy
How long before the people there catch on, do you think?
Not soon enough
Is that the op?
>Another studio for Sony
Good. XBlacks can play Slopfield for the next 10 years.
As always you guys are morons. This is because of Marvels Avengers and Forspoken. FF 16 just wasn’t enough to recoup the cost that’s all.
we postan' resetera screencap now?
Its the company's mismanagement if anything else, were they trying to make up for forspoken debts? 16 made the top 4 of best selling PS5 titles, and did better than 15 did on PS4 in terms of %sold of install base, they shouldn't be losing money on that.
Keep in mind the marketing was non-existent, so where did the money go?
they assumed more ppl would buy it at face value based on XIV but they didnt expect most normies with PS5s to not give a shit about MMO slop
To make 2 billion in 2 months they needed Fortnite / Genshin Impact, not even a singleplayer game.
Shouldn't have fricked around with NFTs.
>Giant ass ads all over major cities around the world

>had a huge ads
>costed them
Ah you moronic ESL abo shit head, how I hate you.
You clueless moron, the most expensive shit they had was the 3d Shibuya billboard.
That thing costs less than 15k bucks a month (minus production costs, and they had an in-engine video, which is significantly cheaper than external cgi). They had the billboard for several days, not even a month.
You have no idea how much ATL marketing costs.

It isn't.

At very cheap venues. In-engine trailer showcases, gameplay and in-game OST only, so cheap production as well.
>streamer payments
They bought fewer influencers than fricking Ubisoft for AC Mirage pre-launch. Mostly small XIV folk actually.
>online ads on search engines
Doesn't cost much if you have knowledgeable staff setting up your campaigns.
>paid articles
Not relevant in their case, Sony has media by the balls by feeding them free stuff constantly and keeping editors drunk. Such is PR etiquette in the industry.
>PS state of play
Literally another freebie from Sony. No CGI trailers again.

You haven't worked a day in your life, especially in marketing. I do media planning for games and film.

>The Sega tier incompetent SE management do not get to use the success of FF XVI to cover for their moronic mistakes.
It's an absolute win.
>Square-Enix: turn-based is dead, no one wants it, we need to make FF a shallow hack and slash instead
>Larian: creates the best-selling RPG in nearly 10 years which is as strictly turn-based as it gets
FF died after X. All they have to do is make a big-budget game that's turn-based like the PSX games (aka, the ones that sold well) and it will be successful again.
I don't have a ps5, waiting for pc, but i do remember all those months spamming Death Stranding drama and turns out it was pretty ok and comfy

lol? what moron quoted this
sony was flaunting it at every showcase because it was exclusive, the game is just shit everyone would have bought it if people played it and told their friends it was good but instead everyone said it was shit because it was
Most people went apeshit over the demo and their install-to-sale conversion was likely very high, just like the game's completion rate is very high. 16 sold within SE's expectations, barring the highest end of those.
It’s called a marketing budget and every game has it
That ignorant abo thinks billboards and buses cost hundreds of millions of dollars when the 3d Shibuya billboard is less than 15k a month on average and CBU3 never used CGI trailers.
The production of pic related cost more than most of 16's ads.
When you're a jobless abo NEET who is obsessed over sales figures every second of every day, the concept of money is kind of lost on you unfortunately. Cut him some slack.
I still can't believe yoshits big idea for his shot at the big time was dmc meets game of thrones. What a fall from grace
Not only that but the dmc action was dumbed down for overweight jarpigs to where the game practically plays itself
the combat was decent in the beginning but it didn't progress at all

No, I find trans disgusting
So you're a girl? Like a legit biological woman?
The fact that he larps as different people makes it more hilarious. How can someone be this mindbroken by one game
I'd be pissed too if I paid 500 for a ps5 and 70 for ff16
That indian only has a ps4 and Zelda
I like how you capitalized zelda like a good snoy who knows his place
>snoy
I only play on pc and Steam deck but thanks for confirming once again how mentally ill you zeldahomosexuals are
don't believe you, snoy
Here, moronic Zeldagay. It's funny seeing you crawling back like a worm pretending you didn't shat on FF7R and insulting Tifa for years. I have the Deck full of Tifa pics, I have almost as much as your pics of Yoship aka your homolust love, homosexual
it's snoyboy summer everlasting. thank you for being at my beck and call at all times, snoyim. I didn't open the image you fetched for me but I appreciate the effort
I mean it's not like I expected a smart or honest answer from a Zeldatard
Sorry you thought Deckbros were your allies, but not only snoys dislike you
I kneel
thank you snoyim I'll view this webm later on, keep up the good work, it's what you were born to do
Didn't read it, but can you please keep posting more sexy Tifa? is it from Evercrisis? I really need to play that game, if only ff16 had a sexy cute waifu, like tifa, instead of ugly homos, I wouldn't hate ff16 as much as I do.
>tendie so mindbroken he unironically can't accept PCgays dislike him
nintenchads and pcbros have an unbreakable alliance

Look mom I posted it again!
I don't understand why they can't just make a good turn-based/ATB game again. I just don't get it
They made World of Final Fantasy but that had a kiddy aesthetic
based tifa poster trying to detrans yoshitroons
I actually enjoyed FF16 though. Not into your homosexual lust for the yoshipi guy
I understand bro keep fighting the good fight
tifa sex
I'm sure it was FF16 alone and not the dozen garbage live service games they've thrown out to die in the last year or two
Actually yeah, the low performance of FFXVI is largely the reason why investors are bailing out on Square and selling stocks, leading to its stock tanking.
Everyone has more than good reason to be disappointed with this shit.
It took them a while to notice that the company has been releasing a long continuous stream of muddy shovelware since 2021 with FF16 being the latest most expensive entry in it.
3M+ for a PS5 exclusive seems decent to me.

>it shows how unwieldy he is with the weapon
All I see is a long ass windup animation with 0 punishment from the enemy for using that shit
Meant for this one
that's because you're a fricking moron who can't even quote the correct posts
I accept your concession, parkinson's man
Imagine unironically posting an hour long windup animation like it's supposed to be good
what an embarrassing response
Learn to play, senile homosexual
go be moronic somewhere else
Go be senile at your favorite forums gay
Your 1 hour long animation with 0 enemy reaction is dogshit
okay schizo shitskin
schizos hate being called out
Disabled abo kek
You can't play anything that requires even the average reaction time
>skitskin immigrant calling anyone an abo
my fricking sides
oh yeah barry is a shitskin
All barrykin are abo by default
You missed hard, just like you do in gaming, senile gay
why do you type like a moron
Why can't you play games?
Disabled moron

You're the one trying to defend a long ass windup animation with 0 reaction from the enemy as something good kek

Are you trans?
it shows how unwieldy he is with the weapon
that combat in rebirth already looks a million times better than 16's half-assed attempt at dmc
>it's just pressing cooldowns 1 after another
You couldn't stay in the air for 5% the time the player in that webm did
Barry's shilling of FF16 made me buy the game. I even bought a PS5 for it.
Had a great time with the game. Thanks for the recommendation Barry!
Clive poster not being a gay baragay challenge: literally impossible.
>in legitimate financial trouble.
lol, you wish
yoshitroons are making and then replying to prompts again...
it actually did very well, better than their past few games
squeenix is just still feeling the squeeze from ff13 being such a piece of shit
>they make fun of Yoshida not being a graduate on 5ch, he's the sole board member who didn't to to The University of Tokyo or other prestigious place
lmao yoshippy = moron
huh that explains a lot actually
>he's the sole board member who didn't to to The University of Tokyo or other prestigious place
I don't think kitase did either. I think he went to film school.
Correct he wanted to be a film maker, he's basically what helped FF become more cinematic from 6 onwards.
He does look like an idiot to be honest
A lot of boomers never went to university actually, university is a scam to make competition and younger people waste their time
yoshit is gen x, moron
And? College is a meme. Technology and internet should be able to reduce studying time and materia by 60% at least. As you age you realize College was pushed to make sure younger men delayed their adult life
I'm sure the millonaire guy is suffering more than the virgin losers working under some boomer with no degree
Isnt this game aimed at gays and troons? No shit it flopped
They should just fire their entire ESG and ethic department
>millonaire
The cultist cope is getting wilder day by day, lol. You're almost choking on his wiener at this point.
I can't stand morons like you who don't do any research and just read clickbait headlines. That being said, 16 was pretty disappointing.
I honestly hated how seriously 2l16 took itself, and I'm glad 7R isn't.
Agreed.
Yeah, it seems they put the most effort into the demo/prologue, because the game shits the bed right after it. Almost reminds me of Remake in that sense.
It took itself more serious than God of War.
It didn't bomb. 4 million now means 7 million in 18 months just like FF7R
It did bomb
>4 million
Still at 3 million
>7 million in 18 months
FF7R was released in April 2020, so it's been 3 and a half years
>same as FF7R
Unlikely as FF7R is much more popular compared to 16
Nta but i feel like these comparisons make no sense because i'm sure 7R stopped selling in playstation after one year due to being sent to PSN+
I have no fricking idea of why SE did that.
Sony probably gave them a fat check, but who knows if it was worth it. At least the second part is coming to other platforms faster.
This is why i feel like Rebirth can easily sell more than Remake. They just need to not put that game on psn+.
Also release on Steam, not epic.
>"It wasn't the mobile phone battle royale, or Avengers, or Babylon's Fall or Balan Wonderworld or selling all their western studios to fund NFTs or Forspoken or Chocobo GP, clearly it is only and exclusively FFXVI not making trillions causing financial problems for Square!"
I know it's just to support your narrative that XVI was a mistake and Yoshida should be lynched but this is a moronic post, OP. If FFXV didn't kill Square and The Lightning Trilogy before that didn't kill Square, a single game underperforming in a period where Square has shat the bed more than they haven't is not some silver bullet.
Doomposters are moronic
They will be fine. Remember tendies also said capcom would die and look
I was impressed how for a mainline game it just arrived and went with a blink of an eye. The demo had bigger impact than the game itself.
Because the most coherent part of the game is the demo, unironically. Some hours later you start seeing the game's issues that just get bigger and bigger AND BIGGER.
I need this dude needs to be Genesis very bad
oh boy another anti-XVI schizo thread
it's Glenn from the gachashit games
not gonna read the thread
all the ff16 hate threads are extremely derivative, like something made in chatgpt
keep seething cuck
Embarrassing
oh no
anyway
why do schizos have it out for this game
Tendies.
hate homosexuals
luv waifus
simple as
>waifugay
YWNBAW
We love waifus here
The word "waifu" triggers ff16 troons very easily
You wish, Zeldatard
>zelda out of nowhere
lol
You are the one who got angry because waifus though,
are you angry because majority of people prefer waifus to homos?
Nice narrative change, you never gave a frick about Tifa
What narrative change LMAO
you're the one who seethed when I said
>hate homosexuals
>luv waifus
>simple as
HAHAHA
or what? do you, just like me and everyone else here, find homosexuals to be disgusting as well?
Nice, thanks friend
Idk who you're arguing with, but
was me and I'm still correct.

/thread
let me fix your image
>you can literally date a big black man in VII
>Cloud cross dresses
>nooo my game is not the homosexual one
Get a load of this homosexual.
FF16 is tradcon in comparison to that shit. It made kotaku colossally butthurt.
You really love to roleplay
Schizo, do you just pick posts randomly and spew some insane drivel? Get a job.
dion is honorary straight, homosexual
>Homotroony trying to pretend FF16 isn't pozzed
its always funny how you homosexuals find the most pozzed garbage around to defend and gaslight others into believing how "normal" it is
Of course ff16 troon is a waifu hater KEK
clive is honorary aryan
homosexual, you're wanking VII, where the protagonist literally cross dresses and can date a big black wiener.
FF16 shits and spits on your homosexual game and your black homosexual friends at kotaku.
Of course ff16 troon hates ff7 KEK
Of course you enjoy dating a big black man and dancing with homosexuals at a drag bar dressed as a chick.
That's the kind of game you defend kek.
16 is unironically tradcanon compared to the shit you eat up.
cloud and tifa is a shit couple compared to clive and jill which is pure. btfo.
Cloud and Tifa aren't even a couple. Cloud is dating Barret on many a man's machine.
>main goal for sephiroth in rebirth is to groom and turn cloud gay or join him
imagine the seethe
I don't hate all of this posts content but your tone is very off putting, you need to modify the tone
it's a yoshitroon pretending to hate ff7 to falseflag barry bros
hmm that would explain the 2 immediate replies, the cult always signal boost each others posts
I've never liked 7 nor do I give a single frick about your otakushit obsessions with nip personalities.
>everyone who correctly calls me a troony is a ff16 fan
Troon-kun meltdowns aren't quite Barry tier yet, but we're getting there.
Same Nintentroons seething at FF
neither is yours lmao and it doesn't matter because they're right barry
Are you having a stroke my dude
what's wrong was that sentence too long for you esl
My guy, are you OK?
Let me repeat my question: Are you having a stroke? Do you need help?
it does seem reading is hard for you
My guy, are you ok?
So, my guy are you ok
Are you ok, my guy
My guy, are you ok?
case in point about schizos losing it when called out
Embarrassing post
is this a mod for FF7R?
It's the TBgays latest coping material, shilling a FF gacha game
Frick FF14
Game was great but they pumped way too much money into it.. 700 million is rockstar games level of production. Just doesn't work for a jrpg
This is fine. Steiner’s DLC delivery manouver will bring the situation under control.
do you ever sleep barry
sex
Me too. Maybe those morons will finally get it through their thick skulls that people still want turn-based JRPGs.
Then buy and support those. I hope SaGa, Decapolice, Suikoden breaks the 5 millions after all your spam
what a shitty thread
schizo containment
literal schizo thread
It's all out warfare in here lads, this is the fruit of yoshitpiss failure
>406/95/103
Notice the lack of anti-yoshida posts here
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/648241985/#648241985
Pajeets won't stop until yoshida joins xbox
That and more fat mods for the starfield granny and muh bg3gays are chink bots
it's grannys fault
it's fat mods fault
it's chink bots fault
How much would the board improve if India was banned
it's bollywoods fault
Another day another yoshitpiss thread. We will discover who's to blame for final flop shitsteen eventually, we just have to keep trying
of course xv-kun wants to push the notion that ffxvi was the sole reason for the $2B in losses and that it wasn't a culmination of terrible decisions like the avengers flop
don't forget about flopspoken
why is starfield so popular when it's shit, and ff16 is ded as frick?
Steam is bigger than ps5
But starfield failed since no hype besides indians
>why is starfield so popular
Starfield has a 3% completion rate vs 16's 55%.
Being a bethesdadrone and playing the same game for 20 years is simply one hell of a drug.
I dont think starfield is popular, it didnt do that good despite being on pc
I think BG3 raped that game's chance to shine
>the turn based troon is a waifugay
cloud trooning out groomed a whole generation of boomers and no one did anything to stop it.
I'm out of loop but I've grown playing ff games. I'm glad this has happened. I think any true fans of the series will agree with me. I'm glad because things like this needs to happen in order to have drastic changes. Everybody knows that last ff games weren't good.
Melbourne: 5.40am. 52f. sunny days
>spazztek thinks maximilliandood is his friend
any improvements you'd like to see for barry forecasting?
Game devs should have realized a very long time ago that minority (homosexuals and trannies) don't actually buy games. Every single one that appeased to minority fricking flopped.
>what is BG3
>what is 7R
kek
NO STOP THATS DIFFERENT HE ONLY TOOK IT IN THE ASS IRONICALLY FOR A JOKE
>the brain stimuli response to seeing homosexuals kissing is comparable to watching maggots festering on rotting meat
Maybe seeing homosexuals kissing disgusts people more than crossdressing. KEK.
Don't worry, I hate gays and trannies equally, I think both are equally disgusting.
How about you?
>the protag in 7 is made to cross dress while gays surround him
>the protag in 7 can go out with his Black male companion
>g-guys some random gay in 16 with another random gay for a split second is worse
you buy lube every grocery trip
As a proud owner of a Tifa Sex Doll, I certainly buy a bottle of lube each grocery trip.
yeah you're gay as frick man
just like your protagonist
Woah man, we don't need you sharing your gay fantasies with us, we get it man, you hate waifus, we get it
I mean of course you are, you're ff16gay after all, the first FF that includes LGBTIACK to the game
>7 has a cross dressing protag who can date a black man by game design
>my game!
congratulations on being a homosexual
what a weird gay fantasy for you to type out.
that's literally your game, final fantasy 7
I had to think about this for a minute, because I love hot lesbian sex so I can't just generalize my hatred for gays. I've come to the conclusion that I hate weak men.
>gays are weak men
>Trannies are weak men
>Waifugays are weak men
>Turn based trannies are weak men
4 homies
chain gang homies
final fantasy homies
What was even funnier was watching the snoys try to astroturf online that ackshually the game sold well and ackshually the gameplay is good, when obviously those things were not true.
