idk lol i dont play these. still posting in the thread to bait for yous.
I think its mid as hell
the ending is trash
>all those Middle East outlets
87 at its peak, drops as low as 85
>FF16 will fail to reach 90 on Metacritic
>Will be completely overshadowed by Nintendo Direct announcements
It's gonna be an ugly day on Ganker tomorrow.
How do ads overshadow reviews
Whatever it is, we should remove the 10 bonus points it's going to get for being woke.
It won’t get any bonus points for being woke. It will likely lose some.
Gains woke points:
>Dion is gay
>Dion kisses his boyfriend on screen
>Barnabas is pansexual maybe?
Loses woke points:
>no people of color and Yoshida’s comments doubling down on lack of diversity
>sexual violence
>terrible mother archetype
>objectifies Benedikta
>small female cast
>2/3 of main female characters have horrible arcs and die
>pansexual (?) Barnabas portrayed as an incestuous sexual deviant
I don’t see the balance being positive for FFXVI.
I want to point out when it comes to the whole hierarchy homosexuals are not equal to the browns. Just look at the LGBTBRAAAP+ flag, brown people are so important they had to be added to the gay flag anyways. Having a gay doesn’t outweigh not having Black folk to journalists
I agree. I really don’t get why the LGBT flag needed black and brown stripes. Last I checked those aren’t sexualities… I know the official “reason” is to recognize the contributions of black and brown people to the LGBT movement, but that is some woke ass shit.
There is apparently an arab region in the game so they have brown people ticked off.
brown people and Black folk are not the same
when they say the game lacks diversity they are saying the game should have wakanda we wuz Black folk, not arabs or poos or whatever other brownoids there are
The only nudity in the game is naked man ass, and Barney goes down on an MTF alien troon. Almost every hint of straight sex is portrayed as transactional or rape.
>muh sex muh relationships muh sex muh relationships
So fricking sick of pornbrains
Blame the game for interpreting “mature” as “gay”
88
The game review will be high, around 80-90
Why?
because it fit all western narrative about troony stuff
It will also be high in Japan because it's their game and FF is their image
A sure win no matter what
Japan did not like the game
Obsessed.
>about troony stuff
But the only "troony" is the main villain of the game?
I EXPECING THINGS GOING BADLY... UNLESS MOVIE WATCHER REVIEW MAN REVIEWING THIS THING, IM THINKING IT GOING BADLY.... BECAUSE IF GAMEING REVIEW MAN PLAYING.... THINGS GO BAD FOR MOVIE FANTASY....
In a world where street fighter 6 is scoring in the 90s? At least that. No shade on SF6 of course, game looks good
86
I don't think western journos are gonna like Benedikta's treatment in the game
Gameplay will be well received, but not GOTY material. Not the right genre. Story will be contentious due to the shift from le Game of Thrones to Final Fantasy in the late game.
>not the right genre
but Sekiro was?
Game journalists don’t play to the late game. They play 10 hours tops and move to the next project.
Between 83 and 86
since when does Ganker care about what reviewers think?
we all know they're bought and paid for, and the public reviews get manipulated by the website all the time to erase negative reviews.
Shills, marketeers and fanboys care about reviewers they exist. They think buying a video game is like your political aligment and they want it to win no matter what.
I read the ending of the game, I conclude is trash, all the mid game story is ok though, it seems like GoT by that hack GRRM which I really dont like but at least it is medieval fntsea without many niggys and one homosexual with a lot of untasteful explicit sex. In a final fantasy game...
Final Fantasy used to be tasteful in my times or a really pretty folk-like story. Now its copying modern slop from Netflix.
I just want old ff back. I miss it so much. Or at least something in the same vein. And no pixelshit like octopath smeared with disgusting postprocessing effects is not what I want. I want the Kino camera angles and backgrounds of the ps1 games. How can YoshiP claim to love final fantasy and then add gay kisses and sex scenes to it while throwing out literally everything about the gameplay?
You're asking for something the industry has moved on from quit everything except retro JRPGs if this is what you want. FF will probably never do le tilted camera angle and pre rendered backgrounds in the modern day. Should've figured that out after FFX
It doesn't even need pre-rendered. Just directed angles like lost odyssey.
Its over man stop living in the past, you want old FF back you make it yourself. We fricked up by not BECOMING developers even if we ended up Indie Ganker shoulda have became devs.
Instead you homosexuals let trannies ruin everything. You could start competing against them & MOG them the frick out into oblivion. I know people here can write better deeper more beautiful stories with better mechanics. A troony has no concept of beauty, he is an abomination all of their shit is about rejecting existence and depression.
Making good games is too expensive. To get a full studio up and running, planning the project and funding the game, you need around $200 million. If you go indieshit it will obviously be less than that, but you likely won’t be able to put out your vision if it’s something ambitious like a FF game.
You pretty much need to sell yourself to the devil and look for a large publisher, and the only one that doesn’t require ESG right now is embracer, I think.
I bet you Yoshitpiss doesnt even like the gay shit he just put it there either for Yaoi fans or forced diversity.
It'll be very very funny if a fightan managed to get a higher score than a new big budget AAA mainline FF.
Probably 85 - 90 but I don’t care
nuGod of War and TLOU2 easily got 90+
Those are better games than XVI. FF dies this week, Yoshida will retire in shame after the next XIV expansion releases.
there he goes
Have none of you guys followed review trends in the past 5 years?
This game could run at single digit fps, have a dogshit story, and just straight up be a ubi clone and it’ll still get an 85 minimum because the review scale is 7-10 now.
10s used to be a once every few years occurrence and now they throw it out at any shiny AAA game.
It's a Sony movie game with more cutscenes then gameplay, so 89-93
Where can i watch the leaked cutscenes of the game???
No leaked cutscenes, leaker read us bullet points and showed images.
I refuse to believe this is real dialogue
It is, apparently it was supposed to have the same title drop in FF14 but Koji Fox got rid of it. Then he kept it here
MMO devs = MMO quality
Where can I find these bullet points?
Final Flopstasy Shitshain
MMO devs = MMO quality = Do not Play
I do not care about reviews, because I am not a Black person.
"Amazing game that reinvents final fantasy but no Black folk
9/10"
Remember
90+ Barry lost
Under 90 Barry won
What if its an exact 90 and stays like that?
then barry loses
Will it be GOAT'd or nah? Fyi not even a remake of THE Final Fantasy 7 managed to get 90+
High 90+ only for games with strong fanbase.
>FFIX has a 94
How? Its a good game but i don't see how its worthy to be above games that were graphical and storytelling masterpieces of their time.
The only game you can make an argument better than 9 on that list is 7. 10 had way more glaring issues and 12 was fricking meme fake-mmo gameplay.
If anything 7 only having 92 and not 96 shows that it's been rated years after it was released when it was the only FF game to ever be a system seller.
95+ is a guaranteed lock for FF16. It'll start with 97 then drip down to 95.
How did XII score that high?
Matsuno god
>Fyi not even a remake of THE Final Fantasy 7 managed to get 90+
To be fair it wasn't an actual remake.
>Last non mmo FF to make it to the 90s was 12
Wtf were 13 & 15 teams doing?
>Wtf FF15 teams doing
Ask barry, he might know.
goty contender unironically
FF has not been good in a while
>Scores
Have you tried not being a moronic homosexual Black person?
what does it say in the image moron
I don’t care. Review scores are meaningless. No one is willing to really criticize anything out of fear of losing pre-launch review copies on future titles. It’s all just apart of marketing now and thus useless for actually judging a game’s quality.
Botw and Totk lived up to their review scores though
BoTW and ToTK are not a Zelda games. A Zelda game is a quest with extensive dungeons with puzzles that get solved with the required tool often but not always found within that temple/dungeon & at the end there is a boss to overcome with that new mechanic introduced by that tool you familiarized yourself with, this helps keep the gameplay dynamic & new.
I don’t care what it gets so long as it’s one point more than Barry. Bonus if the review slams 15, compares it favorably to 15, and otherwise shits all over that garbage gaem.
It would be fricking funny if this game scores lower than their mid-budget, HD-2D titles.
final boss is a trans alien
barnabussy eats out its aylmao pussy
joshua dies, clive is stranded, and torgal knots jill
does your life depends on the score, good or bad?
No one cares about your shill Jurnos and fanboys/rageboys opinions, do us all a favor and play Russian roulette instead,
Famitsu gave it a 39/40. Barry is going to fricking die.
>Lower than sf6 and totk
Yep, barry won
XV got a 38/40
OH NO NO NONONO
Famous gives everything a high score
they gave 13-2 a perfect 40
Apparently some of the talking points for the famitsu reviews were that the game still feels very much like final fantasy. That it's not a change but an evolution. Lmao this game is gonna btfo a lot of people
>Reviews up in around 9 hours. What are we expecting?
Bazzy meltdown.
"first gay kiss in a final fantasy 100/10"
90-95 on Metacritic
88-93 on OpenCritic
FF16 has the worst ending in FF history
>IT WAS ALL A BOOK BRO
Media literacy thrown out of the window, I see.
Explain how joshua knew about the stuff he wasn't there for then you fricking moron
He made it up
The cucking? The trans cunnilingus?
All fake, but no one can refute it because no one was there
joshua why did you write about your brother (imaginary) cucking hugo...
Extremely crucial to the plot
Yes, the sex scene describing Clive's naked body for a full page was also completely necessary
and the benedikta rape? in a kids book?
Crucial for her character as shown here
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?
It's still a Japanese AAA game at the end of the day. They can try to emulate Western games but they can never quite get there.
Japan's CERO rating makes genitalia a big no no
You can't show that shit
All you're gonna see is man ass. Only capcom has balls to show nipples.
Ending is open at whether both Clive and Joshua lives, but either Joshua is alive, or Clive named his descendant Joshua.
Eitherway, if it was indeed Joshua, he would ask his brother his journey when all is said and done, I mean, won't a brother be curious at his older brother's journey when the dust settles? Even in their childhood, Clive and Joshua have a pretty close bond as siblings.
If it was done by Clive's successors, Clive told his story to his kids. I mean, by doing so, his brother, Joshua, will be remembered in a way.
how would clives know about the stuff neither he nor joshua were present for? like barnabas eating out alien man pussy?
Yeah how come we could see that cutscene if Clive wasn't in the room. He was the main character right.
If the book is supposed to be a chronicles left by joshua then he'd only be able to write what he was present for
despite the fact that he died
The game shifting perspective is what is contradictory to the book written ny joshua being the game
Anon please explain how we view the cutscene.
By the perspective shifting in an omniscient view
which would be impossible for joshua to know about for the game to be the book making it contradictory
Then who was book?
I know xiv cultists are media illiterate but this takes the cake
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
Why would Joshua write a book when he is dead?
It must be someone else name Joshua Rosfield! Obviously lol, are you fricking STUPID
>headcanon
Lol the cope is real. XVI dies in 6 hours.
I guess Clive literally transformed into Cid after the latter died, then...
So Clive wrote a book as his brother where his brother dies in the book and makes himself out to be a turbo chad? Very cool, Clive, very cool indeed
Why do we care about someone else named Joshua Rosfield?
He dies on screen.
Was it in a newspaper: yes or no?
>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. So Clive wrote book as Joshua where Clive is a gigachad and his bro dies in the book? Very cool.
>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.
How do you know Joshua is dead, was it in a newspaper?
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
It's probably the story of the war of the eikons. Without the stuff that couldn't possibly be known or the stuff inappropriate for children. How can you be so uncharitable in your understanding of a pretty basic story concept? Do you think videogames need to show the characters pissing and shitting every day?
This whole board's been buckbroken by a common trope.
it's a pretty common trope but homosexuals redditors cannot suspend their disbelief and popularized overthinking everything
>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IShouldWriteABookAboutThis
Dumb JP devs can't even get the trope right lmao
The game starts with Clive recounting the events as the narrator which means everything that happens afterwards is covered by his narration. The alien trans sex scene being very important for Barnabas's character. I bet he could experience it through the memories he got from Barney. Doubly so from the Ultimas' memories. Does he remember it from both perspectives at the same time I wonder? That bit of subtext is left there for the children to interpret and subtext is a mark of a great writer.
There is tons of shit that none of the monster homosexuals were privy to.
How can Clive narrate when he is a fictional character in a book, the entire game is made up shit
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
There is no way that either of them knows about the conversations their parents had without them present. The story is made up bullshit.
maybe both survived?
The dad got his head chopped off in the demo and the mom slit her own throat in front of her kids.
>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
I don't know if you are dense but what you see in the game is not what's written in the children's book.
The book is a child friendly retelling of the events.
No the book is clearly the ending of the events as narrated by Clive.
Look up the original story of the little mermaid, or Hansel and Gretel. Kids story are only sanitized and gay in modern times not in medieval time, moron.
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.
There is no theory, it’s a fricking book. I’m just answering your stupid questions because you don’t know how books work. You apparently think people take other people’s name and write books that they also die in.
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
>You apparently think people take other people’s name and write books that they also die in
I don't think that but that still more likely than your BS
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.
Doesn't it make more sense to assume the parts that none of the characters would know about.....wouldn't be in the book? Lol
No because it’s book, basic media literacy
But they are because the story is called Final Fantasy the Book and they included a titular line in the story to illustrate that. It just a book that those kids like, the world would not just forget that troon aliens in giant crystals almost wiped out society and gods were wielding magic while spreading plagues.
…why not? Who would believe that shit.
>yeah dude we used to be able to cast magic trust me bro
The Bible was written almost 2000 years ago. The game is just a book get over it, your headcanon is moronic and cringe.
What? You’re saying Jesus Christ is a video game character?
>https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198970/I_Am_Jesus_Christ/
Yes.
Then how did he wrote the Bible?
We used to kick israelites out of every country, trust me bro.
>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.
Then no one would have been able to write the book because all of the people involved are dead.
the blight is not instant... probably took 30+ years to cover the whole world
The “author” is still dead regardless.
so what, do books disappear when the author die? I'am getting baited here?
Things happens that are in the book after he fricking died you moron.
>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.
Shut the frick up with your stupid cope, I’m fricking done with you. Your fanfic sucks as much as the game does.
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
https://www.history.com/news/the-dark-side-of-the-grimm-fairy-tales
>"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.
Do you enjoy getting consistently BTFO’d? You get an attitude every time but keep coming back with fresh cope.
The book is in the game, not 2023 moron.
look at these morons, the average IQ must be legit 70 here, I never saw this much illiteracy in 1 place before.
>sees a book
>”muh illiteracy”
How many times are you going to say that today?
i've posted that term a dozen times today ironically, i am going to make sure it is tied to ff16 for all time
Well it fits, the writers are clearly illiterate MMO morons that have never actually read a book but think they look cool.
>author died in the book
>the book has details after his death
Cope, the game is just a book
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.
History is written by the winners.
its just this trope
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DirectLineToTheAuthor
its stupid
The game was clearly written by someone that didn’t understand the ending of Game of Thrones or the Hobbit.
no I think they understood it's just that for some reason YOU don't want to understand that.
Imagine spending your time defending a game you haven't played yet lol
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 did it better.
YS is shockingly well-written for the era it was released.
Yep. This shit isn't hard. We're not "reading" the book or whatever but experiencing the events as they actually happened and then Clive or whoever wrote a book about those events afterward.
>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.
THEN WHO WAS BOOK
Why do you think that would be in the book?
lol you guys are media illiterates
Is this the new buzzword used by shills?
Take a basic media literacy class, please I am begging you
Look, he said the thing! Get new material, marketer-kun.
Sorry bro, honestly I think the ending is moronic, Square Enix is just paying me to post here and psyop you guys
Will Square Enix give me a PS5 if I shill this game on Ganker
No, but you can get some free copies of Forspoken
You are coping and your shill is showing.
How can it be made up if Clive narrates it, you’re saying he manifested himself into reality after some random author named Joshua created a fictional story
The entire story is fiction, the author wrote a book that the reader self inserts as the main character.
Then who is Clive’s voice and how is he narrating? Is Clive Joshua? Clive is some random author or is he fiction
Clive is a blank slate (just like in the story) that looks like who ever reads it in the reader’s minds eye.
Then how are there scenes where there is no self insert
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.
The who was reader?
Who ever read that book to those kids at the end, whatever their name is.
The whole game is fiction anon
Literally
How did Frodo know about the conversations Saruman had with his lackeys?
He read it in a newspaper
History is written by the victors. Saruman did nothing wrong. HEIL SAURON, HEIL MORDOR, HEIL OUR PEOPLE!
>headcanon because I say so
That makes more sense than
>yeah dude this fictional character is narrating his own fictional story to himself
That would make more sense but too bad the narrator at the beginning is Clive.
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
Wrong, this is the true ending
anything else is cope and head cannon
>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
why is the War of the Eikons called Final Fantasy by Joshua Rosfield?
Because
>What's it a story of then? because if it's not the game story then that's even fricking worse
To put it simply, you got to play what happened, the kids at the end got the Disney adaptation.
Like the hercules's myth for example.
He prolly absorbed memories of dominants when stealing their powers
so clive remembers what barbabas cum tastes like coming out of ultima?
kids book btw
>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
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.
>What do you want to play, then?
Final Fantasy XI, a good FF.
This post....it seems so.....familiar.....
Kek, he loose his mind.
>"wtf, the entire LOTR trilogy is just Frodo's book????"
This is you right now, moron-kun.
Show us where we see joshua writing the book
please keep posting about the gay kiss instead of being a moron.
it doesn't take a genius to draw a conclusion here.
>"wtf it was all just Bilb&Frodo's book?!?!?! Nani??????"
No, you moron, Frodo and Biblo leave a record of their adventures. They don't die on screen and then magically also write a book about it. You're a fricking moron if you can't tell the difference.
>You're a fricking moron
literally no u, your IQ is literally too low to comprehend this.
There is nothing to comprehend. Youre trying to draw a false comparison when the author of the book in FF16 IS FRICKING DEAD before it could be written moron
I feel bad for you, truly.
I took it as Clive and Jill named their kid Joshua, and then tell him bed time stories which he turned into a book.
So you head cannoned your way into an ending, nice job moron
Bilbo writes a book, Frodo adds an addendum to it before going to ti
Joshua dies in-game and somehow writes a book? Oh wait half you gays say Clive wrote it
What FF games actually stick the landing?
FF1
XV
And yet joshua somehow knows about shit neither he nor clive were present for
>XV
>stick the landing
here lies Noctis
he never scored
He saved the world and we see exactly how through his sacrifice using providence which is the combined power of noctis+the kings of yore in the ring of the lucii+the astrals+the crystal+the royal arms
meanwhile ff16 somehow fixed the blight offscreen with explanation how
Black person please
the XV's ending was so shit that they released that fricking what if book
I doubt many would defend it
THEN WHO WAS BOOK?
XVs ending is so beloved its why xv sold better than any ff in history time aligned
the reason a non canon alt timeline exists is because it was so heartbreaking fans just wanted to see what it'd be like if they could be happy ending even if its not actual canon
Draw a clock and post it right now.
FFV. It's a pretty simple "The Adventure Continues" ending, but a nice one, especially since it has bit of variation if someone was knocked out at the end of battle or if you finished it perfectly.
FFVI had a fairly nice one too although it kinda depends on if you realize that "Magic going away will probably kill Terra" plot point since the lynch pin for the final cutscene is the implied "Terra lived because she found her Humanity".
What about fan favorites like 7, 9 and 10
9 and 10 had pretty satisfying endings (Arguably localized 10 has it better due going "I love you" over "Thank you" if i remember shit right, for extra bittersweetness) (Acknowledging that Vivi did infact die due the limited lifespan was great), 10 did have some arguing what the whole Tidus swimming thing meant and used it to argue for his "survival" prior to X-2, 7 is popular for sure as a whole, but its ending had a bit of a issue in conveyance that made some people think it was "ambiguous" so you had morons arguing that "UHM, METEOR AND HOLY CLASHING KILLED HUMANITY AS IT SAVED THE PLANET, THAT IS WHY RED XIII AND NO ONE ELSE IS IN THE ENDING" before the sequel shit cleared shit up for them, i think the Ultimania might specifically call out that interpretation as being wrong too, but i never read it, lol. Anyway, 7 usually gets most of its fan love from the Midgar sections, as one can see in discussion when the first Remake part was announced.
7’s ending was purposely ambiguous. The writing staff literally did not know if humanity died or not when the game originally came out
Right, i honestly just remember that the sentiment and arguing about the ending was really fricking widespread back on GameFAQs back in the day.
Wait is this what Ganker is seething over? A classic ending troupe. Are you shitting me?
Shazamtrannies are getting desperate.
what shazam trannies my ass dude its the worst trope ever. WE KNOW WE ARE PLAYING A FICTIONAL VIDEO GAME STORY I WAS GETTING IMMERSED SHUT THE FRICK UP I KNOW ITS FAKE YOU DONT HAVE TO REMIND ME!
Assassins Creed does the same shit thats why it sucks by the way. It's all le simulation bro, did u now ur in a vido game??? shut the frick up just shut the frick up homosexual.
Settle down ESL. No need to post a pick of yourself.
A certain group larping as a crazy person, and said crazy person, *need* this game to fail.
Notice how the narrative of why it's bad changed over the week sometimes going in completely different directions
It changed because the game's ending was just leaked today.
You missed the point
The narrative went from
>This game is problematic because of how it treats women
>This game is pozzed due to gay characters
>This game is too serious and trying to be GoT
>This game is too Japanese and normies will hate it
All in the span of one day
You feel where I am reaching with this?
What it does is irrelevant, they just want it to fail no matter what
Barry will cherrypick the most negative quotes and scores while denying the existing of positive reviews
Barry will find the scores that are lower than 15 and use it as proof of 15s superiority
Barry will spam homokiss rage all fucling day
I think it will be a fun day
39/40 from Famitsu
https://twitter.com/aitaikimochi/status/1671390475184648193?s=46&t=STVjKeiUrS2uE2jm2IZLhw
Who the frick cares. Famitsi gave XIII and XV about that much too and both were liquid dogshit.
>Not 40/40 from Famitsu
That’s a bad sign
Hugobros how are we gonna cope? We were supposed to be the kings of the world...
Do you hafe the Benedikta one?
Thank u
hugo is the biggest (literall) cuck in the world
lmao if it cant outsell it on console it aint doing shit on pc
not even 7R sold as well on pc as xv did
cope tard
Official numbers say otherwise, Bazztek
The real fun is in about a year and a half from now after the PC release and FFXVI out sells FFXV. Then you'll see a veritable DDOS of seething on this board before you hear of a deranged Indian man babbling incoherently from a Melbourne rooftop before jumping off.
>Barry's mental well being depends upon FFXV's special sales figures
>the very next numbered FF outsells it
>its made by both YoshiP and Kingom Hearts devs
>barry has his own gamestop meltdown incident like chris-chan
>drunk on gasoline and trying to shit on the floor of a game store screaming about Tabata
I can't wait.
Famitsu scored FFXIV 39/40, whereas FFXV had 38 or something.
Ah frick I messed up I meant FFXVI, it's so easy swapping the damn two roman numerals.
Damn, that bad huh?
Famitsu gives high score maybe more than anyone. Like how is Death Stranding and MGSV a 40?
>JJBA All Star Battle is a 40/40
god damn
Apparently the only reason this got a 39 and not a 40 is that one of the reviewers is a turn-based gay. Expect more reviews like that in the future lmao
FF hasn't been turn based in 20 years bros it's time to let it go
I have no dog in this TB vs RT combat debate, but I'm just saying that butthurt turn-based gays will drag the MC score down.
Famitsu give absolute garbage review scores anyway, for everything.
paid reviews but i hope they rip the check up and give it a real score.
the funny thing is afaik you cant even fail the shitty quicktime events
You can
Iirc you can just turn them off tho
Yeah i can see the DMC combat designer's input just from this
Looks cool tbh
You can play all the classic Final Fantasy games with one hand, so I don't see any problem here.
96 then i will post pic of me fricking everyone moms
If the score is high it's paid shill
If the score is low it's real and true
>If the score is high it's paid shill
>If the score is low it's an unpaid shill
ftfy
100% going to fall between 85-89, not breaking the 90s
>catching up on leaks
>Margrace throws a fit saying tripcodes can be used as a one time thing for certain purposes
>but the whole reason shitposters found his old posts is because he used the same exact trip from other boards
>repeatedly comes back after a final post to try to defend himself and reply to bait
Leaks are fun but I feel like this guy really carelessly fanned the flames.
I agree. This game makes both oldgay purists and SJW's seethe, is too convoluted for normalgays who are gonna get baited by "grounded", and has THE meme ending that morons are already frothing at the mouth to take out of context. The gameplay doesn't seem strong enough to stand on its own either. The makings of mixed reception that paid reviews can't carry.
>every single reviewers are incapable of holding their excitement
>99% of them are ff14 cucks
this game aint scoring less then 92 on meta
>92
nah I don't think so. 91 is the absolute ceiling.
forgot to point this out
>but we didn't see Joshua write it
>why didn't they show Joshua writing every page
>omg if we played as Clive for the videogame that means the book had to include all the hecking gameplay moments too, it just had to
I literally cannot talk to this moron anymore I think I'm getting dumber lowering myself to his level
Joshua is dead. How did he write the book? Stop coping.
Joshua died on screen so how did he write it suddenly?
It's truly one of the most bizarre attempts at a gotcha moment ive ever seen. Literally have to come across as an actual dumbass to assume that literally every event in game was one to one what is written in the story being recited to children. Even tactics has game recite events Orran couldn't have possibly been there for or was never even told about and I don't see anyone asking why they take place in the game.
Modern square advocates for reciting trans sex scenes to children.
>le trannies out of nowhere
concession accepted gaylord. I obliterated you in the marketplace of ideals.
ultima is literally alien troony
Holy fricking cope morons cant accept the ending is terrible
Not only that but the blight was never fixed, ending the crystals doesn't suddenly undo the blight and all the damage and decay it wrought
and the end literally contradicts shit to do with cid and mid establishing ways to make society sufficient without the crystals
They can make fricking books and yet cant light a fricking fire? How would lowly mudhut peasants even have such a book let alone be able to read
The Blight will be addressed with the DLC, and then further addressed with the PC release's complete edition. And then they will give up on it altogether the Royal Edition where you will instead get to play as Hugo the cuck for a chapter.
Wasn't that the point?
That humanity could take care of the Blight without help
Also its a child trying to light a fire ffs
But it never got fixed and if it did never fricking said how
literally frick deus ex machina "it somehow fixed its offscreen"
The leaker literally says the kid uses a flint and tinder I'm not sure that their struggling to light fires at all. We already knew from interviews that the blight wasn't a reversible thing and if I recall correctly it doesn't continue progressing after the crystals break.
>Not only that but the blight was never fixed
never needed to be fix in this game. The cause was clearly the mother crystal, so at worst, it wont keep growing.
The blight is literally a metaphor for climate change you DUMB frick, the crystals are coal and oils. The only way to stop the blight or reduce the damage was to stop using the mother crystal
>expecting actual discussion over video games on Ganker: youtube summaries and twitter posts
Why are you assuming everything from the game is in the story book
That's literally the dumbest shit I've ever heard
>dev wants to pay homage to LOTR/Heavensward
>barry lost his mind
Filtered.
>Hmmm... should I make my story logically coherent and satisfying in its resolution?
>Nah, I'll just pay homage to my troony MMO instead
16tards... stop...
Why are xvitards so fricking moronic
16 fails in its story book ending while others do not
16 did not, you have not played it.
Yes it does you stupid frick
holy frick you're moronic and color blind
>accessibility items is a plus
>game is too easy because of items.
I just hope that it's at least decent. It's been over 20 years since the last worthwhile FF.
Barry is the most disturbed schizo this site has ever produced.
Tends to happen when you get so many other insecure schizos harrassing you over a game.
The Katawa Shoujo generals back in the day had an actual psycho pushing "Hanako was raped" conspiracies and trying to dox the devs
Ganker provides cover for freaks who would be banned in any other community on the net
>Ganker provides cover for freaks who would be banned in any other community on the net
It's like Arkham Asylum.
There's an insufferable shitstirrer/samegay on /mhg/ on /vg/ that's really bad. He shitstirs both sides of the rise vs world shit and mods don't lift a finger.

Who wrote the newspaper?
The newspaper publisher Galdin Beacon
Considering we meet 2 reporters in FFXV one of whom is at Galdin and with connections to Niflheim we know reporters have ties to niflheim.
But who wrote it? We never see anyone writing it
The events happen and they wrote about it in the present, and radio reports are concurrently going on, literally any reporter could write it because its not dependent on one fricking person
joshua is supposed to be dead so how could he have written the book which is specifically credited to him?
>the events happen
Literally headcanon. Who wrote the article? Who is on the radio? You know war of the worlds was very famously narrated on the radio but that didn’t make it real. It was fake, fiction, they made it up
Considering we don’t know who made up the story it’s 100% fake
Why can't Americans shut the frick up about trannies for one second? If anything Ultima is one of Gnosticism's androgynous archons/demiurges.
It transforms from male to female during a sex scene. Very important that it does in a children's story btw
Yes, it's a primordial being that transcends sexual difference. It isn't an American troony.
Shut the frick up about trannies you brokebrained homosexual.
>this androgynous demiurge needed its pussy eaten out ASAP
>ancient primordial being and villain of the story is also a debauched androgyne
>trannies aaaaaa
moron. It's a trope as old as time.
yes, yes, I know, it was very important for the primordial troony to get its pussy eaten out and then turn into the guy who cucked his very pussy eater and then turn into his mom; devilishly adult, and mature. bravo yoshi-p for elevating final fantasy to a serious tone hitherto unknown!
Isn't this shit board always flooded with "pornification of women & sexuality in general = mature, naturalistic human beauty = israeli conspiracy"?
Literally the opposite. They call turning w*men into goblins a israeli conspiracy which it is.
they are literally alien trannies he literally has sex with it as it morphs between benedikta, its own appearance, hugo and Barnabas's mom
its not that deep you dumb homosexual you over think it just to make it seem more kino but its mid
all im seeing from your post is
>NOOO YOU CANT MAKE CONNECTIONS THAT MAKE THIS GAME LOOK GOOD HATE THIS GAME HATE THIS GAME
What are we supposed to connect the alien troony sex scene with?
>le deus ex machina
Oh it's him
He's not exactly swapping his posting style or anything he's been pushing this for a few hours now it seems.
It's who
ff16 literally does end on deus ex machina though
Main villains btw
i'd also frick a shapeshifting alien that could transform into a prostitute, and my mom teeebeeaitch
You do not get make judgement on a story you've only experienced through bullet points and a few screenshots
Did Ganker sperg out this hard over Radagon/Marika?
No Ganker was sperging out about first time souls players breezing through the game with summons while the no summons “experts” struggled with their fricking claymore. Nobody really cares about Elden Ring story. Final Fantasy leans heavily into its stories so the trooning gets its fans more salty.
expecting not to care because I'll be playing it in 7
Was the ending that bad and confusing? I'm absolutely prepared to be disappointed again at this point.
Considering the only one who hates it is a mentally ill abbo, I'd say it's probably not that bad
No. It's as straightforward as LOTR's ending.
not as bad as SnK
Well, that's at least better than a 1/10.
Have you considered not listening to Ganker of all places. You frickin moron
Nah, it's kino. Joshua dies, Clive impregnates Jill, then writes the story as some heckin epic poem or something for future generations AS Joshua, to honor his bro's memory
That’s a really cool interpretation of the ending. Ultimately, I don’t think the ending is final like some people say because square likes to milk those FF subfranchises as much as they can, but it might be prequel-only, who knows.
Not confusiing. it just goes from GoT-slop to anime slop. Shills are coping by comparing it to older, and far better stories like FF IX and Xenogears
it's not confusing but Americans literally need everything explained to them
if have to have them think for even a second they get lost
Its literally the worst ending in the franchise, like jesus fricking christ worse than game of thrones season 8 ending
this is pure xiv schizo damage control
>it truly was the Final Fantasy.
The story is so shit the tripgay marketing dept leaked the story /here/ for attention.
yes
its all so tiresome
The whole story is quite bad tbh, so if you enjoy any of it you will probably like all of it because you are a certified shit-eater in that case.
It is telling that people need to be COMPLETE fricking morons to not get the ending or acting in bad faith. Everyone lived, which is why Jill smiled. The child being born is from the pregnant woman they found in the ashes country
>Rip scene from Eva
>Normie posters on Ganker have no idea what the frick is going on
Because that reference was super tacky.
>What are we expecting?
Ganker seething it isn't a flop like usual
But why does noctis believe the newspaper, he didn't see anyone writing it. Who wrote the newspaper?
He doesn't believe the newspaper
Did you even play the game?
Then who was newspaper
galdin beacon
Who?
the publisher
So its bullshit made up story? frick xvi keeps getting worse even though joshua is supposed to be dead
>the publisher
Who was the writer? How can you know that was the publisher anyways
Ravus ex Machina obviously wrote the newspaper for Noctis
Not diverse
between 87 and 92.
positive will be :
story, presentation,combat
negative will be :
RPG stuff,exploration,level design
39/40 from Famitsu
When FF15 only have 38/40
We won ffsistets
With sloppy controls and laughable protagonists, this snoozefest of a title in a series that frankly has already lived its glory days seriously needs to put out to pasture.
Verdict: 8/10 no bugs encountered
Cons: not enough/no minorities (reviewer played first hour of game)
Good and a little more vengeful than Cloud but with more emotion and more growth than Noctis.
Not the next FF7 over all but still a solid entry.
As much as I hate XV, the campfire ending is easily the best thing in the game.
>a literal dream vision
I can't believe Barry won. Maybe because they had the script for XV done by 2007 or something, but how come did we go through a based Christ allegory to Yoshida and Matsuno fedoraposting and making a Game of Thrones wannabe, in the span of one entry?
How did xv win when it scored lower than 16
you know you can like the ending and still say that FFXV is shit right?
FF15 is a complete mess of a game and was shipped out in an early access tier state. It having a good ending does not negate the majority of it being a straight up mess.
For sure and I'm taking that before Matsuno's braindead writing. Everything else in the series looks good compared with the subversive nonsensical plot him and Yoshida came up with.
Mate FF15 story is just badly told and even unfinished.
FF12 was also unfinished but I hold that game way way above FF15 any day.
Do you dislike 16 because it's "subversive" or do you hate it specifically because it's too edgy for you?
Fans who've been around since before FFXIV let the mmotroony cultists in, will not see in kind eyes how Yoshida is trying to dump in the trash the themes about the eternal and transcendental things in creation that made 6 to 11 so universally apprasied in the first place. The edgy violence and sex scenes and uncathartic resolutions distill down from that. People didn't like GoT post season 5 either, and this game has the worst of it.
keyed and true-shotted
You sound like pretentious homosexual
I think you're just a nu-puritan squeamish over sex and blood
Game of Thrones ruined Fantasy.
Unironically GRRM and by extension the first half of Game of Thrones have more of a compelling element to it. In 16 its just random edgy stuff happening to parallel character arcs from the show without actually understanding why people were drawn to those in the first place (the pragmatic element of morality in a moment where western society became disillusioned with its own civilization).
Not my fault you're so much of a poorgay you need to justify your 700$ purchase by pretending to be media literate 🙂
I hate Barry as much as you guys. But that scene wouldn't have been effective if you didn't care for the characters. All FFs are good. XV just had more flaws than usual but it was still a damn good game. XVI looks like it'll be even better
The scene wasn’t effective though, it was laughably shit
>dude here’s this dream vision we should have included earlier XD
> But that scene wouldn't have been effective if you didn't care for the characters
Lunafreyas death scene was the major hint you should've taken that FFXV was a bad game.
Never have a felt bad for videogame animators having to waste time for a character I couldn't give a shit about
>timeskips but good
>romance but good
>action but good
>summons but good
>royalty but good
tfw 16 is literally 15-2
I mean they took what is wrong with FFXV and made it better.
xv is better in every aspect
with how much yoshida talked shit about FF15 I wonder if his thought process with 16 was just "what if we made FF15 but actually good"
This game has a worst story than Asura's Wrath and plays worse too. And that game got a 75+ something on metacritic.
It's actually really funny how the blatant shill leaker fricked up XVI threads forever with his ESL interpretation. Never send a pajeet to do a job, but it's funny as hell so I'm rolling with it. Retribution for XIV being dogshit for the past four years.
Barry's just salty they included the book in the game instead of making you buy it irl
Unless SkillUp titled his review with "I VERY strongly recommend Final Fantasy XVI", the game is a disappointment. Everyone was burned out by awful mainline FF too many times at this point.
>Can't understand the concept of a book
Holy fricking shit.
It's fiction, we made it up.
xvi cultists are losing it
I’m not Barry. FFXV is mid.
But FFXIV players are kinda like cultists. Many of them play only FFXIV and none of the others. And they worship CBU3 while shitting on the other teams. Plus, they think Soken is the best composer only because they haven’t heard any other FF composers. And because he writes a shitton of songs.
Anywhere they frequent turns into a crazy echo chamber. It’s weird, since FFXIV is supposed to be a celebration of the entire franchise and has callbacks to all of the other games. You think they’d like some of the other entries. But nope. Just the MMO.
Oh well. I can’t even be mad because the FFXIV fans are subsidizing the whole series and keeping Square Enix afloat.
I don't think you've actually talked to anyone who likes XIV
Go to forums that aren’t anonymous, like Reddit and Resetera. It’s super easy to see which Final Fantasy fans started with FFXIV.
>Reddit
>Resetera
I think you're the problem and you should go back.
>dude that spergs put unprompted about ffxiv telling other he uses troonyera and reddit
Checks out
I made one (1) post? And I didn’t shit on FFXIV at all. I can almost guarantee you started with FFXIV or are FFXIV-only.
>It’s weird, since FFXIV is supposed to be a celebration of the entire franchise and has callbacks to all of the other games. You think they’d like some of the other entries. But nope. Just the MMO.
XIV stopped being about other FF games in Shadowbringers, fujo jack writer got kinda lucky after being asked to redo the script but the fans ate it up and these writers didn't know what to do. So instead of tasteful references to past games, everything became a reference to the last 20 minutes of Shadowbringers and made the world feel so small in Endwalker. A fan-favorite says goodbye five times, with majority of those being from Endwalker.
>XIV stopped being about other FF games in Shadowbringers
Imagine unironically saying this when it’s literal trailer theme includes FF3 music because it’s that important
That's Graha's theme, not Eternal Wind.
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.
0/10
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
The entirety of post-6.0 patches has been FFIV basically. Including some absolute bangers remade.
99/100, playstation CHADS we are going home (Tokyo, Japan, Roppongi 5 chou me)
>Bro did these events that took place in the video game actually happen or not?
Then who was book? This is supreme cope it is fiction
How did the writer know what happened if he wasn't a character in FF15?
>That left image
ANNY ARE YOU OKAY
Starts around 96 from early reviews, will probably drop down to 92, settles there.
How did he know Luna wrote the letter? She wasn't even in the game until 10 hours later
How could she write the letter when she was dead? Maybe it was from the newspaper
Does this mean that ff15 never happened because no one wrote a book about it in game
Clive took Cid's name to honor him. Wouldn't be a stretch to think he attributed the book to Joshua.
Shit ending regardless
FF16 is bound to be the most critically-acclaimed FF game of all time and one of the best games ever. Reason being? There’s only one person who doesn’t like FF16. Yep, just one person on the whole planet who thinks this game sucks. And his name is Barry. We HATE Barry. We believe the exact opposite of Barry. So if he hates FF16, we like it. If you disagree, you’re Barry. If you like FF16 any lesser than I do by saying that it’s “mid” or “mostly good”, then you’re Barry. In fact, some replies might even call me Barry because I haven’t proven my love for FF16 yet.
Remember, anons: we already chose your opinion. You like FF16, you will buy it, and you will laugh when Barry loses and FF16 gets perfect scores. Which it will, because Barry doesn’t want that.
Take what is rightfully yours! Become one with Barry!
sanest FF16 hater
>being this mad about being called a Barry
Being called Barry is like being called a moronic Black personhomosexual.
Judging by this post, it was warranted.
39 on Famitsu - a publication literally funded by SE - means they had a serious issue with it.
Better than FFXV
Obviously they had several serious issues with that one.
well thats a low bar tho
39 is pretty reasonable, i think the only reason why one person scored it 9/10 was because of the barny scene. Which is a bit as they're not even the main character.
There was but a smidgen of bird shit in the guy's dinner (paid by S-E), so he had to give it a 9.
Bro if there was bird shit in my dinner I'm giving my next twenty reviews 0/10
How do they get to this room? We never see them walk or drive to it, wtf?
The whole game is one newspaper the audience is reading
Thats their country's architecture so its just basically showcasing you where they gathered up before departing in the castle.
I played everything SNES onwards. VI, Tactics and X were my favourites.
Will I like this?
This is just a DMC/action game. Not turn-based and lots of cutscenes. Probably not.
No character in 16 can match the legendary Dino
>eyyyyyyyy Prince nawctiss fuhhhgeddaboudit
>IF I MAKE THE MOST INSANE IMPOSSIBLE ASSUMPTIONS THEN THIS ENDING IS TOTAL DOGSHIT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH
The ending is objectively shit, how can you even like this trope?
Whooooooole lotta buck broken media illiterate Barries in this thread, pardners
Media illiterate is my favorite new buzzword.
When is embargo lifting dammit
>This thread
>reddit image
Barry just woke up or clocked off "work" (At 5:30 PM AEST mind you) based on his Twitter activity so prepare for unusable threads for the next 8 hours.
10 out of 10
>lmao people would never forget he died for our sins
Explanation for all the "Barry isn't real" astroturfing going on in these threads today.
He's preparing to distance himself from it.
why does he even pretend when he have evidence of his multiple accounts?
The internet was a mistake
top kek
>3 homies in a row cast Block on you
Barry and alt personalities are the jrpg party TBfans wanted all along...
>how will I make people hate ffxvi
>I know
>I will pretend to be mentally moronic
Barry isn’t pretending. He actually is moronic or at least below average IQ.
Can't be any worse than XV
I'm buying an extra FFXVI copy to make up for Barry, might even buy a third if the game's good.
Margrace-kun, have you done the NG+ mode yet, leaks if there's an alternate ending, or new hidden boss please.
Imagine thinking the shill is still around. He got his sheckles and left.
Barry is really grasping at straws at this point isn't it? It being from a book doesn't make the story not happen. I genuinely never seen someone as dumb as this moron. Retelling of a story from a book, or Durai's paper has been a thing in stories since forever. Shit, that's literally what stories are. Fricking hell.
>Shit, that's literally what stories are.
Finally someone says it. People keep saying it’s a common trope. No, it’s not a common trope. It’s THE common trope, tied to the very origin of the first myths and legends. People citing modern shit like lotr is cringe. Shit is thousands of years old
Myths were not written by the Greek Gods brainlet.
Favorite troony sex scene quote?
>"I'm more king than you'll ever be! I can't keep them waiting forever!"
I literally trooned out and my gaping axe wound bled like waterfall when LGBTQueen Noctis said that!
Crazy how people are having such heated arguments over bullet points
Bro game is like: 30% GoT 60% Final Fantasy tropes remixed 10% a shitty "all a dream" ending
Yes this should be shunned the frick out, authors need to stop making "all a dream" endings. Imagine if Harry Potter ended like this. Slop. Instead it ended well honestly, the little man became a father and had a son that became a Slytherin, etc. There was continuity. In FF16 the world was just a corny fantasy.
The continuity is the world exists without magic. Clive achieved his goal (had sex too)
The author is dead, therefore he didn’t write a book about his own death.
the author is clive using his brother's name as a pseudonym to honor him
>suggests
Prove it moron
we can't that the beauty of ambiguous endings , we just have indicators.
That means you made it up, keep coping the game is dumb and meaningless.
>game is dumb and meaningless
kek it's just XV all over again
Probably, I’ve never played that shit either and never will. This game looks as shit as that does so I will be avoiding both of them.
Based. What's your favorite FF anon
15
But these sucked ass equally as much too what the frick
XI
6
IX & 1
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.
The is no evidence to support your headcanon about Clive and Joshua not only coming back from the dead but also writing a book about it, there is a preponderance of evidence that the book is a Fantasy story about events that never happened.
>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, and Torgal howled when he died.
>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.
Did you see him not turn into stone?
>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?
You are going to spam this headcanon from now on and I have no reason to engage you further. Stay moronic, see if I care.
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 one will remember your stupid headcanon the second you stop spamming it.
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.
It didn’t “knot” happen.
You don’t even have an ending, you’re grasping at straws to deny the ending you were given by the game.
>See that what I'm talking about, you have no idea about what you are talking about.
Did you just learn the word “about”? Seems like you’re the only illiterate one here.
Then that suggests someone wrote the book in his name, say........clive
it was all fake its final fantasy, its not a history book, its a fantasy book. If he wanted people to think it was history he would have titled it Historical Battle of the Eikons, etc.
He doesn’t want people to think it’s real
Why not?
Why would magic be fantasy if it existed.
shhh stop asking questions morons have to find a way to cope with their trash game
The morons here are both of you because you frickwits have no idea what "stories" are in the first fricking place.
>all stories real world humanity has wrote about super natural powers, magic, miracles (Buddhist, Islamic, anything) and telepathy could be real rn
Why're you confusing the real world with a videogame? Are you genuinely dumb?
>frogposter
Of course
How would you know magic existed if you are being told about it after thousands of years? Do you think Solomon can actually talk to animals? Are you genuinely fricking moronic?
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?
>Why would magic be fantasy if it existed.
Oh man you actually are moronic
It's implied time has passed. So much time that the story in the game is regarded as a fairy tale. Implying people forgot that magic existed in the world with enough time.
Maybe they would think it was real if the moron didnt title the book with the corny label "FINAL FANTASY" just saying.
He didn’t want them to think it’s real
>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.
>Why would magic be fantasy if it existed
Because it no longer exists
>why not
Clive literally tells you in the name drop line. They are the final witness to the world of magic and Ultima. Final witness, by your logic he should have said something like
>ah yes Ultima I will remember you and chronicle your history forever
>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.
He’s not lying and he wants the world to move on
>wants people to forget
>writes a book about it
Brilliant
He keeps the spirit of the Phoenix alive, it’s his duty anon.
>ackshually the Ghost of Kiev is the spirit of the Ukrainian people
this is you, this is what you are

NOW
The Ghost of Kiev is real!
>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.
>you dont say it was all just a fantasy.
Who says this? Schizophrenic homosexual.
Joshua Rosfield in the Title of his book.
>title
Where is the title saying it’s all fantasy? It’s called final fantasy. Which is correct. It’s the final fantasy for this world, because it’s the end of fricking magic.
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?
>MAGIC is a PHYSICAL TRUTH
But it’s factually not after the events of the book, hence final fantasy
shouldve named his book magic extinction, what a moron no wonder he pawned it off on his dead lil bwo
>Final Fantasy
>Last Jedi
Coincidence?
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.
Anon, look up the word fantasy.
adjective
noting or relating to a genre of fiction involving magical, folkloric, or mythical elements:
"All his favorite fantasy novels are about elves."
>adjective
Black person what
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
Fossils are bullshit btw
>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
My fricking sides
According to your logic the book cannot actually be fantasy and must be historical because the book is named final fantasy which implies that there can be no more fantasy in the world, meaning that the book his historical, however because the historical book has fantasy in the title it’s implying it’s all fantasy and not real, but since final is in the title that means there’s no such thing as fantasy which means it’s historical however it says fantasy so it’s all fantasy however it says final so there can’t be fantasy which means it’s historical however it’s fantasy which means it’s not real which means
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.
>magic gets erased from the world
>literally too moronic to connect why the book detailing those events would be titled the FINAL FANTASY.
it's called final fantasy because the events of the book marked the end of magic. that story was the final fantasy
You know you can tell history through stories, right? These thing aren't as mutually exclusive as you think it is.
>"all a dream" ending
Stop pretending to be moronic
Nah it's more like 30% gay of thongs, 40% homosexual fantasy and 30% naruto. Ultima is basically Kaguya down to everyone's schemes being its scheme
>it's like naruto
>ending is a laser show with a bunch of monologuing
>Main villain is an ayylmao who was ACKSHALLY behind everything all along
Checks out to me.
No matter how hard you try you will not convince anyone it’s le dream ending
>Shapeshifting ayylmao
>I-IT'S A troony!!!!
It's so tiresome
Favorite moment from the ayylmao troony sex scene?
its not a troony but there might be a fetish to shapeshifting trannies share I mean its related to autogynephilia in some way so there is that. Being a shapeshifter means you are a liar, trannies get turned on by lying.
Agreed. I think I remember people say genderfluid, and I also saw a bunch of hentai tags named gendermorph instead of genderbender nowadays too.
Trannies are just men biologically who transition to being female using unnatural means. Whereas Ultima shapeshifting is natural for it's species.
I mean, even the male form ultima takes is shapeshifting, according to the leaker his race actually just looks like an ifrit but dark
Ifrit with boobs when
Buying day 1, going to be so shit.
>streamers get to stream before worldwide launch
It’s not fair!!!
It can't be worse than 7 remake's moronic excuse of a story right
>All this talk about plot and character leaks
>When all i care about is music
Ok, I think I already know the answer, but tell me: did lil Soken deliver, and how hard did he fricking deliver?
All I care about is the music. I'm listening to FF13 ost rn because the game is shit but the ost is God Tier. But
>No Yoko Shinomura
>No Masashi Hamauzu
Instead
>Masayoshi Soken
its all so tiresome
Frick off Black person doomposter I like all 3. Shame Hamauzu isn't doing anything special though he should've done either 7.0 or XVI no joke
Excited to hear it. Don't have a PS5 so I'm just gonna listen to it on my own like a cuck but whatever
Hamauzu is probably back for Rebirth so there's that
Bahamut's theme alone would make the music memorable.
I think it should at the very least get a 93 to be a we-are-so-fricking-back tier success.
In this game:
>there are no Black folk
>we beat up illegal trannie aliens who want to take control of our life
>one of villains gets triggered because we cuck him
>have sex with childhood friend who loves us
the only bad is the homosexual dragon but even with that included, it sounds pretty based.
Why should I hate it?
Any other game with a strong brothers bond where they both fight side by side?
double dragon you fricking pleb
>um... it has homosexuals in it? Well, who cares? Gays are actually pretty cool though... I mean if a guy was hot I'd let him frick my ass and eat his cum, gays are cool
This guy is losing his mind

>story so bad it effectively made people become immensely moronic
Is this a first for FF
*immensely moronic discussing it
it's not that the story is bad is that people here are genuinely moronic when it comes to actually thinking about things even a little bit.
This thread is bordering on "squall is dead" logic with how much people refuse to take events as they were directly told
The ending is only a little ambiguous but you have people here here making wildly different takes to what isn't even that complicated of an ending
Sometimes I can't tell the difference between resetera and Ganker
Feels like two sides from the same coin, both are outrage doomposting machines.
what about r*ddit and gamefaqs
Funniest doomposter spergouts? Or is the best yet to come
This one
If the reviews are above 89, the group larping as Barry will have an absolute meltdown cause the real deal will piss and shit all over the internet
>If the reviews are above 89
Considering XIV expansion scores, this is likely. Only thing in the way of it I think is that one Kotaku journalist salty about no Black folk sinking it down a bit
gotta keep in mind that the kotaku homosexuals are extra mad because they weren't invited to the eceleb/reviewer event
>the anons formerly known as Barry
Prince-bros...We Won
>high reviews will mean the group larping as Barry will now summon their Eikon Barry to bring forth further shitposts and meltdown
We are eating good Ganker
I just think people in this thread are overthinking it big time, they just wanted to do the classic trope of the story is now a book like DQ11 recently but people took it and ran.
Pretty sure people here are thinking more about this book scene than the writer did.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_Regum_Britanniae
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Its doomposters chimping out, anon. Always has been
ironically this shows how well the story is written
unironically this shows how poorly the story is written
You guys are overthinking the naming of the book when the inspiration for it is spelt out in the story. "Fantasy" is clearly referring to sex fantasy. Why else would "Joshua" depict troony alien sex in excruciating detail as if he somehow absorbed the memories of it and multiple perspectives?
People are fighting about the ending of my game
Well i guess if you buy my game enough I can tell you what happened : https://www.rpgsite.net/news/14245-could-there-be-a-final-fantasy-xvi-sequel-weve-left-the-door-open-a-little-says-its-naoki-yoshida
Getting only 39 on famitsu is not as good as you thought it would be since they're lenient as all frick in the first place. Even Street Fighter 6 managed to get a perfect score from them.
yeah, and Elden Ring and RDR2 both got a 39
and Skyrim got a 40 btw
RDR2 sucks lol
better than skyrim
Post actual KINO final fantasy endings women cannot understand:
