Reviews up in around 9 hours. What are we expecting?

and the benedikta rape? in a kids book?

Wtf. Why can't we see her breasts? You're telling me it's fine for highschoolers to see beautiful breasts in that Romeo & Juliet movie from years ago in highschool but not in this?

Japan's CERO rating makes genitalia a big no no
You can't show that shit

Main villains btw

Anon please explain how we view the cutscene.

Then who was book?

Why do you assume the book has an omniscient view of the story when that is literally impossible? Why are you assuming the most indefensible position must be objectively true? Do you realize how dumb you are

It must be someone else name Joshua Rosfield! Obviously lol, are you fricking STUPID

I guess Clive literally transformed into Cid after the latter died, then...

Why do we care about someone else named Joshua Rosfield?

How do you know Joshua is dead, was it in a newspaper?

He dies on screen.

>He dies on screen.
Clive could have been successful when trying to save his brother? that the only explanation that make sense outside of Clive using his brother name to write the book.

>Marketergrace-kun already confirmed he failed
no... he said he tried but joshua didn't open his eye.
This could clearly be a case of 'healed but take a while to wake up" situation...

Either way, at the end Either Clive survive, Joshua survive or both.

What's the point of the book then? What's it a story of then? because if it's not the game story then that's even fricking worse

This whole board's been buckbroken by a common trope.

>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IShouldWriteABookAboutThis
Dumb JP devs can't even get the trope right lmao

There is tons of shit that none of the monster homosexuals were privy to.

Or how Bern had a flashback to getting raped and rescued while getting rescued from being raped. Or the entire conversation from the demo with Hugo the cuck smoking a cigarette with Bern and King homosexual. What about when his mom was straddling his dad, no one there told anyone about that and neither of those people got sucked off by Clive.

Because Clive is larping as Joshua Rosfield, the author of the book, who dies in the game, as one last way to resurrect his brother, duh bro, it's kino just gain some media literacy okay

maybe both survived?

>The dad got his head chopped off in the demo
You cannot prove this happened, there is no source. No newspaper, no radio news, etc

No the book is clearly the ending of the events as narrated by Clive.

No the book is clearly the ending of the events as narrated by Clive.

Why are you 2 so desperate for this moronic theory?? you mock people for their convoluted bs with clive and joshua but you are by far the worst.
"Yeah bro square in current year made a children book full of sex, decapitation and slavery so the game didn't happened LMAO. For joshua on the covert? Naaah don't think about it, that just a self insert "
That how moronic you sound right now.

I have no idea who is right about joshua or clive but 1 thing is sure your theory is the least likely.

Stop bro, Clive left out the part about Joshua dying obviously it's just some vague posting about the Eikon conflict nothing too specific gotta keep it light for the kids XD

The book was not in the current year either moron it’s being read by people using flint to light fires. It’s a fricking fable, none of it happened that why the story doesn’t make sense. There are parts none of the character would know about since they weren’t there, so none of the characters could have written the book, plus they all died. Blame the hack writers for ripping off the end of Game of Thrones but not knowing what they are doing.

No because it’s book, basic media literacy

…why not? Who would believe that shit.
>yeah dude we used to be able to cast magic trust me bro

What? You’re saying Jesus Christ is a video game character?

Then how did he wrote the Bible?

>he world would not just forget that troon aliens in giant crystals almost wiped out society and gods were wielding magic while spreading plagues.
If most of humanity is dead to the blight like the dialogue in the game tell you, then yes this things can be forgotten. the last scene is in a post apocalypse word, probably thousand of years later.

the blight is not instant... probably took 30+ years to cover the whole world

so what, do books disappear when the author die? I'am getting baited here?

>he fricking died
We don't know... clive could have been successful in saving him.
Or like people are saying clive took his brother name for the book as an hommage.

yeah bro the game have a kid book with hardcore sex, decapitation and the guy just self inserted as the MC brother. That the reality !!
do i have proof of any of this? no but i don't care

>"Yeah bro they wrote the fictional book with the sensibilities of the 1800s in this 2023 game bro, I am definitively not coping because my moronic theory don't make any sense and just randomly assume that a guy self inserted in the story without any proof.

The book is in the game, not 2023 moron.

>sees a book
>”muh illiteracy”
How many times are you going to say that today?

Well it fits, the writers are clearly illiterate MMO morons that have never actually read a book but think they look cool.

The book is in the game. The game starts with the very narration of it by Clive who recounts his adventures culminating in his absorbing Ultima and his memories of giving Barnabas troony alien sex. Very important to his saving the world.

so what, do books disappear when the author die? I'am getting baited here?

its just this trope
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DirectLineToTheAuthor

its stupid

no I think they understood it's just that for some reason YOU don't want to understand that.

That would be like having Bilbo getting killed by Gollum then showing a book titled “There and Back Again” with his name on the cover.

YS is shockingly well-written for the era it was released.

>none of it happened that why the story doesn’t make sense
what is not making sense.
>There are parts none of the character would know about since they weren’t there, so none of the characters could have written the book
yes... because what you play in the game is NOT WHAT'S IN THE BOOK. How fricking moronic are you.

Why do you think that would be in the book?

Is this the new buzzword used by shills?

Look, he said the thing! Get new material, marketer-kun.

Will Square Enix give me a PS5 if I shill this game on Ganker

You are coping and your shill is showing.

The entire story is fiction, the author wrote a book that the reader self inserts as the main character.

Clive is a blank slate (just like in the story) that looks like who ever reads it in the reader’s minds eye.

The reader is reading the story and sees themselves as the hero. There are chapters in the Grapes of Wrath with none of the main characters involved that just tell you about the world they live in.

Who ever read that book to those kids at the end, whatever their name is.

How did Frodo know about the conversations Saruman had with his lackeys?

History is written by the victors. Saruman did nothing wrong. HEIL SAURON, HEIL MORDOR, HEIL OUR PEOPLE!

That makes more sense than
>yeah dude this fictional character is narrating his own fictional story to himself

joshua didnt die you mother fricker also why would he larp when JOSHUA is a prominent character in the book and his fate in the book is not clear? you dumb frick everyone lived that was the point of the ending

>what’s the point of the book
To show Clive was correct about humans being fine without magic
>what’s it a story of then
The war of the eikons

Because

No leaked cutscenes, leaker read us bullet points and showed images.

>Clive distinctly remember the taste of Ultima's sopping wet axe wound as Barnabussy feasted on it
>Clive remembers staring at Krupka's engorged manhood as Barnabussy
>Clive remembers falling asleep in Barnabussy's mom's naked lap as her son
What a cursed existence

I feel bad for you, truly.

THEN WHO WAS BOOK?

>the publisher
Who was the writer? How can you know that was the publisher anyways

You sound like pretentious homosexual
I think you're just a nu-puritan squeamish over sex and blood

>dude that spergs put unprompted about ffxiv telling other he uses troonyera and reddit
Checks out

That's Graha's theme, not Eternal Wind.

The entirety of post-6.0 patches has been FFIV basically. Including some absolute bangers remade.

And it really shows they forgot how to incorporate references to other FF games. Scarmilgione revives in a cutscene, Barbariccia is She-Julk, Rubicante doesn't heal the party, but most importantly they are just lifted from 4, much like the Omega raids. There's no attempt at integration into the XIV universe like classic summons, Omega, Shinry, etc.

Kinda unrelated but I like how there's no consistent criticism for xiv
>noooo it references the other games too much!!! it needs to stand on its own the game is a hack!
>noooo there's not enough references!!!
Funny to see

we can't that the beauty of ambiguous endings , we just have indicators.

>game is dumb and meaningless
kek it's just XV all over again

Based. What's your favorite FF anon

XI

IX & 1

But these sucked ass equally as much too what the frick

6

yes the cannon ending of a ambiguous ending is by definition headcannon because nobody can't prove for certain either way.
All you can do is trying to guess what's the ending base on the overhaul theme of the game.

>Clive and Joshua not only coming back from the dead but also writing a book about it
we never even see clive dead... See that what I'm talking about, you have no idea about what you are talking about.

>He was turning to stone
again false, he just had an arm tuned to stone, You are just making shit up to make your ending more plausible when that just not the case.

You don’t even have an ending, you’re grasping at straws to deny the ending you were given by the game.

>the ending you were given by the game
the game didn't gave an ending... this is ambiguous
>Did you see him not turn into stone?
did you see him turn to stone entirely?

fine by me, i just want to see how you cope when everybody finish the game in 2 week and nobody is using your "It's all a book!!!" theory. Gonna be fun.

No, but he was turning into stone so I interpret, along with Torgal death howl, he turned to stone completely. Jill smiles because now Torgal can impregnate her with their son Joshua Rosfield who write Final Fantasy and never mentions that bastard b***h Clive or his little brother Cuckua.

You don’t even have an ending, you’re grasping at straws to deny the ending you were given by the game.

The morons here are both of you because you frickwits have no idea what "stories" are in the first fricking place.

Why're you confusing the real world with a videogame? Are you genuinely dumb?
>frogposter
Of course

Do you really believe the Bible is not metaphors and the miracles happened? Are humans 6000 years old? Was the garden of eden and serpent tale real?

Maybe they would think it was real if the moron didnt title the book with the corny label "FINAL FANTASY" just saying.

>Makes it historical
>People start studying how to channel magic
>Using magic via technology now
>Blight comes back because people have been using magic as a resource again

I dunno man, seems counterproductive if their goal was to erase magic.

>ah yes Ultima I will remember you and chronicle your history forever
Yes this is how you write history. You tell the truth, you dont say it was all just a fantasy.

So we are at the point in the argument where you concede that Clive either wanted to lie to just make the past be forgotten so everyone moves on without even thinking about their history or it was just a fantasy book all along.

Conclusion: Eitherway a shitty ending.

>wants people to forget
>writes a book about it
Brilliant

meds Black person
meds
NOW

>Yes this is how you write history. You tell the truth,
I honestly can't tell whether you tards are actually moronic or naive or both.

Joshua Rosfield in the Title of his book.

Its called Final Fantasy. What is the book about?
sience when FANTASY means Magic in a world where MAGIC is a PHYSICAL TRUTH it has existence, mass, weight, shape, etc it can crash against your skin and pulverize you?

shouldve named his book magic extinction, what a moron no wonder he pawned it off on his dead lil bwo

The Dodo is an extinct species right?

Why we dont call that extinct animal a Fantasy? The dodo is not factually true after its extinction afterall, they are all dead. If humanity stops existing they will be a fantasy? Or rather you would say they were a physical truth aka history.

adjective

noting or relating to a genre of fiction involving magical, folkloric, or mythical elements:

"All his favorite fantasy novels are about elves."

if enough time passed after dodos went extinct, and the only evidence of dodos ever existing was in written form (meaning no fossils), I guarantee you people would eventually come to believe that dodos were made up

>If humanity stops existing they will be a fantasy
Yes, just like the myriad gods that created us.

>he’s still going
If you are going to be extremely literal about the book title it must be historic because FINAL. Fiction doesn’t exist anymore because it says it right there in the title, but then you read the second word fantasy which means it is fiction, but that cannot be because it’s FINAL, meaning it’s historical, meaning it’s fiction, meaning it’s historical, meaning it’s fiction, meaning

You pick up a book with Fantasy in the title expecting it to be about factual historical information? Reason out why the author titled it Final Fantasy go ahead.

And I will explain to you step by step why Joshua Rosefield is a moron.
