    it doesn't compete with either of those game.s this is a game for the sony first party game enjoying crowd crossed over with the action game enjoyer crowd. action game enjoyers will also pick up sf6 and play it earlier in the month, taking a small break to play xvi, then going back to sf6. there's nothing to be concerned about.

      I don't know about Diablo, but selling near SF6 is actually probably a GOOD thing for XVI.
      XVI's problem isn't going to be other games, it's going to be PS5 exclusivity. Having other big ticket games like SF6 on the PS5 will help convince people it's worth purchasing, and increase the install base. Buying a new console with a big RPG and a Fighting game on the side is a bundle a lot of people would go for.

            I don't disagree about the overlap between FF16 and Diablo. I also would agree that isometric RPGs tend to aim for a similar style of play due to the self-imposed constraints of the camera. I just wouldn't lump isometrics in together.

                Anon... I replied to you saying FF games would take only a couple days to beat

                Why do people like tedious cutscene movie/VN shit like final fantasy?

                They aren't tedious. They are boring. Its different. Movie games you can blast though in a day or 2 and move on even if its boring shit.. Loot shit you are doing same shit over and over and over for +5% to poison damage and whatnot.

                I included XV because of the Main+Extras time. Most people don't play an rpg and go just straight to the main story without ever stopping to do anything else, specially on a 1st playthrough. Its not completionist, but the average way to play is doing some side stuff along the way

      If you had done your homework would've known that FFXVI will be next year's Elden Ring. The team behind it are beasts that released two 90s Metacritic games that are actually good. The fact people still call it weebshit when there isn't anything weeby about it is fricking cringe.

          When FFXVI doesn't score 90 they will quickly backtrack and say that metascore never mattered despite spamming MC screencaps every time someone criticizes XIV.
          When FFXVI is #4 in NPD they will say that the game didn't sell, because "the average normie didn't get it"
          When FFXVI is forgotten a month after release they will say it's a cult classic with a handful of haters.

            What?
            FFXV uncovered was in march where they showed 3 new ffxv trailers, announced ffxv new demo, ffxv anime, ffxv movie, ffxv theme song, ffxv amano big bang art, ffxv collectors editions, showed new gameplay and summon footage and also announced the sep 30 release date which was already leaked
            The delay to November 29 happened in august, MONTHS later not a few days you moron, and even despite only being a minor 2 month delay all the stuff they showed at the event still got excitement and hype

            ff16 got a 6 month delay and another 6 month internal delay since it was supposed to be a 2022 release coming out before forspoken based on internal data, and it got delayed first to jan 2023 internally then delayed to June 2023 which is the public date they announced, it was still delayed more and has been in development 2x longer than Tabata's ffxv took

    I don't really see how these fanbases compete really, they're all 3 very different kinds of games.
    I'll most likely be playing Diablo IV first since despite all the bullshit with Blizzard, I've grown up with the series since the original, and my wife put SO many hours of couch co-op in D3 with me... But, I also wanna give FFXVI a try as well, I've just always been a more casual fan of the series and have only ever completed a few of them... I don't like fighter games as well, but SF6 doesn't have as much appeal to me. I'd be more likely to pick up Tekken 8 first.

    Im not Barry and OP is completely right, idk why yoshi p dicksuckers are pretending this game wont sell like shit

    Its competing against a massive blizzard game which is the first singleplayer blizzard title since 3 (not counting immortal), Street Fighter 6 will definitely chunk its sales slightly and people are forgetting that ITS AGAINST FRICKING BOTW 2

    And thats not even mentioning that its a PS5 exclusive when nobody has that while the rest are PC/PS5 and switch. If its releasing in the late summer, it wont do well as summer games usually sell much worse

      the game will sell like shit but dor none of the reasons you are stating except for the PS5 userbase being laughably small. "competition" between 2 games doesn't exist for grown ass adults with employment, on top of the actual genre of game not overlapping whatsoever. saying SF6 is going to take a chunk out of XVI's sales sounds like the wet dream of someone who wants the game to fail anyway, not reality.

          Well that isn't made clear in your post. Yes, yu mention the fact that it's an exclusive (which doesn't necessitate lower sales generally, see PS4 and Switch titles) but a good chunk of your post is spent trying to state that a PS5 exclusive JRPG is competing for sales with a
          >fighting game
          >switch exclusive """RPG""" that comes out months beforehand
          and an isometric loot sim.
          The crossover there is nonexistent and at best extremely small. Yes, the game will sell like shit because the PS5 is a dead platform. No, the game will not sell like shit because of its release date.
          Also, it's not releasing in late summer. It's releasing like 2 days after the first day of summer.

    You don't HAVE to buy/play a game the instant it release. You can wait for years before playing it. Some times that's even a good thing.

    That being said. Those 3 games are completely different genres, in adition, D4 and SF6 are the kind of games you play sporadicly, while FF is the kind of game you play all at once. So even if you are an autistic homosexual, you can still play FFXVI as your "main" game and play D4 or SF6 in between sessions.

        Stop posting this chart made by a fricking ff14 shill desperate to elevate the status of ff16
        ff6 had nothing to do with ff tactics and ff12 team worked on FF14 1.0 too
        a bunch of ff7, ff10, ff8, kh1 and kh2 devs were on the core of ffxv team so why is it only offshooting from type0 which had a bunch of ps1 ff devs on it too? kh1 had a bunch of ff7 and ff8 devs at it's core too not just 8.
        like seriously the art director for 7 and 8 who did backgrounds on 6 was art director on type0 and 15 too
        the art director on 12 was a background artist on 10 and art director on 13 and environment art director on 15
        one of the battle planner from ff7 and ff8 became battle director on ff10 and 10-2 and then type0 and then RPG system lead on 15, battle devs, level designers, artists, animators from kh1 and kh2 were also those on 15 too
        even the in game cutscene director on 15 storyboarded the cutscenes on ff9 and the ff tactics scenes on ps1 where one of those shots is literally used as the boxart

        ff14 1.0 literally has more ff12 devs on it than ff14 2.0

                It’s only gotta get more ridiculous. Any little thing he can try to use as a “one-up” or dismissal will be done in this next half year. If it sells more than FF15, he’ll still cite that 15 was “faster selling”. If it has good journo ratings, he’ll claim they were paid off and 15 wasn’t “artificial”.
                He’s tried to claim that 15’s environments are more varied than 14 or 16, and someone hard countered him with 20 examples of different environments from La Noscea (2.0) in FF14 alone.
                It’s been pretty entertaining to watch someone be utterly mindbroken by the sight of an actual competent dev team complete a finished game. Oh yeah, and he’s tried to claim how FF15 was “completed” in only 3 years, when it rebooted development. As if that’s an “own” to FF16, in which the only trouble was the pace of assets being created was slowed down last year.

      I was watching some analysis videos and something that was pointed out that it didn't occur to me before is that this battle with Garuda is happening in a floating piece of land. So after battling her mid-transformation form shown here we can assume she raises a platform into the sky before/after fully transforming, making it so Clive has no escape, which explains why he was desperate enough to lose control after being grabbed by her and transforming into Ifrit. I couldn't find a webm, but here's the scene: https://youtube.com/watch?v=VLl8sT57FTE&feature=shares&t=62

        I’m looking forward to the environment transitions with each phase during these battles. Apparently the Eikons can influence the environment so that’s why the area is getting all stormy looking like the The Howling Eye from FF14. That’s just cool aesthetically.

        I don't think the scene where she's grabbing him and the scene where ifrit is fighting garuda are the same scene. The platform is really small. Too small for ifrit and garuda to be fighting on.

          Two possibilities. One, Clive transforming into Ifrit causes that change, maybe some of the floating pieces of land merged into the larger one thanks to his fire. Two, after he transforms he takes them back into the ground, but we still see the whirlwind around them so who knows for sure, it may be just Garuda's power creating a barrier to prevent his escape, not necessarily mean that they're still in the air.

      Funny you say that when games like Diablo 2 will always be infinitely more of an RPG than FFXIV. Even garbage trash like Diablo which is barely an RPG has more choices than FFXIV

      FFXIV has no RPG mechanics or choices. The only RPG mechanics are the materia you meld at endgame and that can be 300 hours later for a newcomer. Gear is also the most braindead in all of RPGs. At least like lets say in FF7, materia plays a huge role throughout the game or the sphere system in 10. Gear also had a bit more variety and you had a party to choose from. You also dont have a skill tree or different skills to choose from like in WoW

      FFXIV is a shitty rhythm game and barely a proper RPG. FFXIV gays are so delusional to their shit game its hilarious

            It is an argument. The term "RPG" already lost its meaning 35 years ago when JRPGs took WRPGs' game systems but removed the character creation, roleplay and choice elements, replacing them with a linear narrative and predefined characters.
            The influence of both branches of the genre on eachother and then the wider industry has diluted the term even further, so basically anything that has character levels and stats or an equipment screen can now be called an "RPG", and the "role-playing" is almost nowhere to be seen anyway.

            So yeah, any discussion on what is or isn't or is more or less of an RPG is 35 years too late.

        I honestly have no idea what’s the end goal with the game. Trannies don’t want to support it because of JK Rowling. Chuds don’t want to support it because of the pozzed character creation and insertion of nigs/gays everywhere. Normies will probably like it cause of “muh Harry Potter”.
        As an aside, it was funny seeing this game revealed, and the REACT streamers had to bring up JK Rowling BAD just to appease to the audience. Eggshell walking at its finest.

    Another thing that occurred to me is that we only saw Dion in human form in two scenes in Sanbreque's throne room, one of which seems to be him going to talk to the emperor about something which leads to picrel, so it got me thinking that it may be because of Rosaria's invasion, which means that the Dion we've seen so far is how he looked like when Clive was still a teenager, before the first time skip. If this is true, I wonder how he'll look like after both time skips, because the "Come to me Ifrit" that people theorized shows Clive post-second time skip has him fighting Bahamut, which means Dion survives that long.

      I hope Dion is actually nice and they become friends. Cause it’d be a good mirroring of each other, with both of them being princes.
      But with 30s Clive apparently fighting Hugo to the death, I feel like something bad is gonna happen. 🙁

        The same video that pointed out the Garuda thing also mentioned how in past FFs there were dragoon characters who went through a change of heart, so there's a chance that after he loses it in that scene in the throne room he turns his back on the empire because it's doing things he doesn't agree with.

      Ah, but Eikons don't die with their Dominants. Clive could be fighting someone besides Dion who's gained the Bahamut Eikon.

        Anonymous

        Dominants don't sprout out of nowhere all of a sudden, but to be fair we don't know the specifics of how each Dominant is chosen. Someone could also have stolen Bahamut's power or something, maybe it's the final boss and he can transform in all the Eikons whose Dominants are already dead.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          iirc the lore about dominants is they are just born or something like that. It's not clear if there is always a dominant or if there can be a period where there isn't one. Like before Joshua became the Phoenix dominant. Was there a Phoenix dominant that JUST died as he was born or was the last Phoenix dominant 100 years ago. And if the Dion we see is young Dion, then 13 years have passed when we see Clive fighting Bahamut. Time enough for Dion to tragically die between the beginning of the game and before the second time skip.

            This was actually clarified in the famitsu interview after the Ambition trailer:
            >Maehiro explains the process for a new Dominant emerging when the former Dominant has been petrified. He says that there are various conditions for the next Dominant to be born - it could be straight away, or it could be 100 years. However, the rule is there can only be 1 Dominant at a time for each element. He confirms that this means there were times in the world’s history when there were no Dominants, but the current era is one where a large number of Dominants have assembled. He also confirms there is no rule that each country can only have one Dominant.

              This combined with them saying that the mural is ancient and just depicting all the Eikons that are known to have existed in Valisthea is why for now it's assumed that there's not Leviathan Dominant in the current time period despite him being in the mural, though one may be born during the course of the game, who knows.

                They better not skip Leviathan. Especially with it being on the Amano boxart too. Back in the year it was announced they had this tweet that they deleted where they called Ifrit the “ninth” Eikon instead of the “dark” Eikon.

                So Levi would be the missing eighth. Apparently Ifrit is called Black Ifrit in JP lol. Reminds me of Xenoblade, with Black Face being the cause of the MC’s revenge quest.

                They are definitely keeping some things secret to avoid spoilers. Levi was on the tapestry in one trailer, and that one Barnabas scene looked like he had split an ocean behind him.
                My pet theory is that Leviathan's dominant is going to be slain in front of us by Barnabas to show how big of a deal he is. Maybe that means Clive never gets access to Levi as an eikon swap, or it's late game that it comes back or something.

            Bah, EW's delay was 2 weeks long. That's hardly a delay. Too bad about those poor fricks who took vacation time for it, but a delay of 2 weeks? C'mon.

            Also, the delay was to put in that part where Emet tells you about the other shit in the world so players wouldn't think EW was the end of FFXIV.

      The Trails series is garbage though. I say this as someone who has beaten every game up through CS4. It's a series that once had a cool vision and idea, but then couldn't actually handle it's super bloated cast, and refuses to have any stakes or consequences for any of the characters, even villains. Nobody dies. Nobody is at fault. Nobody is punished for anything. If you're going to claim you're playing something better than FF, you shouldn't offer pure trash as the alternative.

    FFXVI may be the only modern game I've even considered buying. Their choice to include zero Black folk really speaks to me.

        It won many RPG and game of the year awards, was hugely financially successful and immensely popular with audiences. You being a shut-in on this website is not reality, sweetie 🙂

      I think there might be overlap but SF6 is dead and diablo 4 isn't looking good at all, so not much competition to begin with. On the other hand

    Is diablo releasing on ps5 as well?

    Street Fighter does not matter, Diablo probably has some cross-over (older fans.)

    Ps5 only release will already cause bad initial results, such is life.

    ff7 remake part 2 will mog ff 16 also. Purely since source material is much stronger than anything SE can come up with.
