    Turn based was better anyways. Even if it comes out on PC later, it's not what I'm looking for in a FF game. I don't care if FF hasn't been turn based for a while now, the turn based and ATB games were better than the MMOs and the real-time stuff.

    I just don't care. I don't care if FF is this always evolving thing and always trying to be different. They should stop and just go back to making turn based games because those were more fun.

      There's a reason dragon quest fans go apeshit whenever one of these morons start floating around with changing shit.

      FF16 legit feels like a spin-off game instead of a mainline entry. The game feels like they hired ninja therory to make a offline gaiden game to tie in with a ff14 expansion.

      S-E really need to split the action shit into its own IP and leave FF as atb/turn based.

      Also for all they try to "evole" the game it only means gameplay, there has been nothing to evole story telling in FF games and we still get poorly paced games with too many cutscenes.

      Turnbased JRPGs like FF or DQ are braindead and just cater to casuals who get stressed quickly and have 0 reflexes.

        FFXVI is literally the most causal video game I have ever played that wasn't specifically targeted at children. Even turn based FF and especially DQ are much more demanding from the player than this braindead garbage. I've only felt remotely challenged when fighting the S rank dragon guy 20 levels above me.

        Just because you're a moron who thinks there's nothing more to this game than grinding so hard until pressing attack kills everything on the screen doesn't mean that tuen based games are actually more braindead than action games like FFXVI

      JRPGs as a whole are archaic and cringe. The next Final Fantasy should be a reboot, and should play more like Half-Life. No, not an FPS, but a game that is more directly linear and tells a story through gameplay, rather than static textboxes and movie-length cutscenes. Give me a window into a Final Fantasy game's world, without me having to traverse town after town and grind endlessly. Final Fantasy XIII came the closest to doing this, but unfortunately it failed in execution in every way.

    I don't think Yoshi P is to blame. If you've played FFXIV under his direction and listened to him on livestreams, you'd see he's actually a long time fan of Final Fantasy. His favorite is III for frick's sake.

    There's just something about the culture among the execs that's doing this. Really think about it, Final Fantasy has basically been a revolving door of directors and producers after the Enix merger, and every successive entry has strayed further away from the franchise's roots. It's a top down order and the names attached to these games are the guys who take the fall when it doesn't work out.

                Good, frick dungeons and the garbage item level sync they insist on putting in them for whatever reason.
                I'd even trade the 1 dungeon we get each patch for literally anything else as there's hardly any reason to do them more than once when you can cap tomes in so many different ways.
                It's true we don't have a new exploratory zone, but instead we got a new deep dungeon, 3 variant/criterion dungeons, 2 Ultimates (which I bet you haven't cleared anyway), Island sanctuary and a reason to actually pvp with the Series rewards every patch.
                I wouldn't say it's any less than what we got before.
                Also a personal note, the quality of the raids, Ultimates and 24 man raids has been a lot higher than in Shadowbringers.

                You do realize Shadowbringers has an equal amount of dungeons as Endwalker, they didn't take anything out.

                I also said I'd trade the dungeon for something else, not completely remove it without anything replacing it.

          The new DD is just okay, its so inoffensively bland and not an evolution sadly.
          Criterion/Variant have a neat gimmick but they need to be heavily worked on in terms of rewards and ease of access.
          No Eureka/Bozja
          Relics are just bought with tomes rather than being a grind.
          Patches taking longer to come out with less content.

    Nobody cares about ff14, it's an mmorpg.

    ff15 damaged the brand, and ff16 staked it in the heart. The more they move away from what the franchise is supposed to be, the more others will fill that vacuum and FF will no longer have a niche that loves it at all.

    I'm amazed the stock price isn't dropping more, they are damaging the brand and future sales are going to tank.

        I think ff16 made sense in 2008 where everything was edgy. I enjoyed ff16 but its kinda out of time
        My guess is they will try to experiment with some dlc for ff16 (a sequel alas 13-2 and lr would be good, those games are underrated), and test turn based combat with FF9R
        I think if they get more positive feedbacks for ff7r they may adapt that system for future FF games
        I feel like FF7R is the perfect balance they were looking for, but I wonder if BG3 success will make them go back to turns. BG3 has helped PS5 more apparently kek, and that one was on pc too, so they should change their dumb exclusivity politicies

    FF was always pursuing normalgay bucks, 16 is no different, besides there's no such thing as "OG" FF fans, the people who bought FF1 were already discarded with FF4, FF always targeted by age and each gen targets a different demographic, FFXVI is no different from the rest, you're just jaded and with really weird ideas about a casual franchise that hardly ever put any effort into the games outside of the graphics.
    But of course you don't care about that, you just gotta fill your daily quota of shitposting.

    People buy Final Fantasy for turn based four homies in a row gameplay.
    People buy Baldur's Gate for turn based dnd gameplay.
    The developers of FFXVI abandoned their playerbase of ATB fans.
    The developers of BG3 leaned even deeper into the turn based d&d dice roll gameplay their fans love.

    If FFXVI was a new entry in the FFIX side of FF, with full-on ATB, a colorful overworld, and an airship to fly over it, it would've sold gangbusters. Hell, just look at how well Yakuza: LAD sold, the first turn based game in a series of brawlers, sold amazingly well despite everyone claiming ATB is dead.

              I play only turn based RPGs because everyone else simply isn't an RPG mechanically, doesn't change the fact that BG3 isn't selling for the turn based gameplay, it's one of the main complaints about the game in fact.
              Take your pills, you're so entrenched in your mental illness and obsession with a game series that was never good that you see enemies everywhere.

              It's not that it's selling because it has turn based gameplay, it's the fact that in the end, nobody cares what the gameplay is like as long as it's good so Yoshitpiss claiming:
              >We don't want to do turn based because we feel it's racist
              Or whatever the frick, is pointless because casuals don't care as long as the product is good, people aren't upset that FF tried something new, it's the fact that it was part of its marketing to not be associated with JRPGs because of some old man's twisted idea of fun
              The biggest issue gameplay wise are the MMO side quests INCORPORATED into the game which some aren't optional

              Most people don't care about the quality of the gameplay, let alone turn based gameplay, otherwise everyone and their mother would be playing actual roguelikes instead of roguelites and CRPGs.
              People care about MARKETING and popular stuff, as long as you can paint something as a "must buy" or some kind of one of a kind phenomenon you can sell anything to the masses regardless of its actual quality, it's how FF itself sold millions after all.
              Problem is you can only do it so many times before people wisen up, which is exactly what's happening to FF, do you think a hypothetical BG4 would sell just as much as BG3, which has already completely demolished all of the lifetime sales of the previous BG games put together (including the spinoffs like Dark Alliance)?
              Do I need to remind you the sharp fall in sales from Octopath 1 to Octopath 2, which sold less than half units compared to the first game?
              People want sensationalism, not quality, and in case of turn based stuff sensationalism is what sells them, and I guarantee you, even if FFXVII goes back to actual turn based gameplay and not ATB, it won't go back to sell 10+ millions, because nobody cares about the brand to begin with.

    FF16 failed in all aspects of actually being a game, i dont care how good the autistic shonen GOT story is, im not sitting through a 50 hour game yet again to spend half of said 50 hours watching cutscenes, it would compensate if there was actually some build and gameplay variety, but everything in the game is so homogenized its not even worth it, they literally picked up FFXIV's design philosophy and copy pasted it into the game, which makes no sense to me, why would you make a single player game this boring when you dont even have to worry about shit like balancing since you're not queuing up with 7 other morons to fight a raid boss? Giving the project to a team that has no experience besides an MMO was a mistake and the only reason why it even sold in the first place was through face value of the people involved (Yoshi-p, Soken etc), its literally a game thats designed to be played once and then thrown away, the same thing with FF14.

        Genuine XVI threads stopped a few weeks after launch because, suprise, it's a game for a console no one owns. Everything after that was Barrygays and salesgays because this video game lives in their head rent free for whatever reason.
        You'd be a fricking moron to actually think XIV has no players. You can post whatever fricking Google trends metrics or Twitch views all you want but the game beyond any shadow of a doubt has a large enough playerbase to support sustained popularity on Ganker.

            They also posted the ending saying it was just a dream when it was a retelling of the story. It’s crazy how they are so obsessed with hating FFXVI and FFXIV. You think the games killed their families or something and when you call them out on it they just call you a cult/shill/ or some other dumb shit. If they were smart they would just stop making threads about FFXVI and it would have gotten forgotten normally.

                Making video games as accessible and easy as possible while focusing on trying to engage players with presentation and an emotional story rather than challenge or mechanics.

                His "18 month plan" was actually about trying to find out where players would get stuck at and trying to make those parts easier so the game could sell more copies. FFXVI is already very likely the easiest action game ever made but he was still worried about trying to make it easier. He's insane

    The main reason why SE is in shambles it's because they kept getting all those moronic Sony deals. Forspoken costed too much and it flopped, XVI being forced on PS5 only for 1 year was a moronic choice. They should just go like Capcom and Sega are doing, full multiplatform with good-decent PC version on the top. There you go solved. Sony's only market is not profitable like it used to be, the recent Microsoft lawsuit should all remind that Sony had to admit that its playerbase care about CoD and Fortnite and that the PS5 is pretty much a CoD-Fortnite machine.

              How did Capcom make such a mistake? You're telling me that selling exclusivity to Nintendo for Monster Hunter Rise is killing their biggest cash cow even though Capcom has release almost every other game in the past 6 years as a multiplatform release.

      Is it even the case that that JP dub is the original? My understanding was that the original script was translated into English, refined, used as the basis for voice sync and English dub, and declared the master copy. This was then translated BACK into moon and the differences between the JP and ENG dubs are due to this.

        JP script draft written
        ENG script localized and JP script updated based on changes between the two.
        ENG VA recorded (lip synced based off this)
        JP VA recorded
        At some point the other localizations are done but it doesn't matter in this context.

              get used to the live service idea btw. everyone is jumping on it including Microsoft and sony. Capcom got Exoprimal coming up. Bandai Namco is working on Blue Protocol. Gran Blue Relink might also be something like that even though they advertise it as a single player game. god knows one of the countless Silent Hill games might be live service too. traditional video game development today might be too expensive for these homosexuals

      I genuinely hate it. I have the steel box at home because I was excited for it after the demo, but I despise overly easy action games and on top or being easy, it has fricking HORRIBLE pacing and repetitive as frick enemies. After around 50%, you can clear every mob by spamming certain screen clearing special moves.

      The story isn't interesting. It starts out with great and cool world building and set pieces but becomes unironically the most generic JRPG story you have seen in many many years. Multiple characters are insanely boring.

      There's no gameplay beyond combat. No dungeons, no resource management, no choices in quests, crafting is useless, RPG elements are useless.

      The only way you can enjoy this game is if you're not used to action games at all. This game is basically a litmus test for me. If you enjoy FFXVI you basically just want a playable movie. I can understand why someone would enjoy FFXVI but I genuinely can't it you're someone who enjoys mechanical or thematic depth whatsoever in your video game . It's an incoherent, boring mess

      I played X and loved it. Started X-2 but the combat system was confusing and I dropped it because of other games. I actually haven't played 9, but I just bought it, and soon it will be time.

        Are you acting obtuse on purpose?
        You do know that this pozzed game was the first FF to push globohomosexual propaganda bullshit, right? This really isn't FF at this point, it's little more than a LGBT propaganda platform for homosexual and troony self-inserts.

      I don't think it's about Square having a deep read on the market and moreover about the fact that THEY themselves don't like turn-based anymore. Back on the PSOne next to their big FF titles they also had lots of other nice silly JRPG projects that ditched the turn-based concept and explored other ideas. They probably just want to go apeshit with the combat and do other unconventional things. The series doesn't even have a consistent and recurring Director anymore. It's not all too shocking that they try to reinvent the wheel with every entry.

      Pretty sure the decision to not return to turn-based combat was made after intense research.
      Of course NOW after release, anons are b***hing about it, but I bet they'd b***h about regression if it were turn-based combat, which hasn't been a thing since X or so.

    FF16 panders to an audience that won't actually buy their games, rather than straight males, who are the primary gaming audience.

    Males are the core of the industry because gaming is a male hobby and always will be no matter how much you pander to women. It appeals to male psychology and not female psychology.
    Whites are still the most populous race in the West and, if it is to remain Western, always must be. It stands to reason that while you'll have non-white men buying your games, there are going to be more whites buying them.
    Most gamers are straight, because most people are not homosexuals. No amount of pandering is going to change this.

    Why don't developers understand this? Their goal is to make money isn't it? Make something I like and I give you money, it's really not a difficult concept here.

    This guy needs to decide if he wants to make video games or movies. Video games give the player agency, players can create their own fun. Movies, on the other hand, should cut the filler and get on with the plot to keep things interesting, nobody wants to watch a 14 hour movie that's mostly exposition.
    If the excessiive plot & cut scenes of XIV and XVI were removed, would they be fun games? no, they would be dull tech demos. They don't stand on their own as being video games. If the games were made into an 80 hour movie, would anyone watch? No, you'd have to be insane, there's far too much padding to sit through.

      i don't know bro. i remember theorycrafting gameplay ideas to beat the secret bosses. coming up with new strategies in FF7 and it's elaborate Materia system. Or handicapping yourself against the Omega Weapon in FF8 to make it more of a challenge and interaction than it already is.

          that wasn't an attempt to shit on 16 from my side. 16 as shallow as it's execution barrier is, is still a DMC clone. of course you will have people reinventing new strategies. even years after the release. but the older turn-based games had a crazy level of gameplay interaction to explore too despite being turn-based. and that's very rare for that genre. it's not as story-focused as people make it to be.
