How is it that this man keeps on winning?
How is it that Nintendo made it out of the Square betrayal alive and better than ever?
Square Enix is crashing and burning, and Final Fantasy is in the shit.

Friendly reminder nintendies will never allow other jrpgs in the catalogue and despite your ff16 crusade you have been ruining other jrpg threads
>FFXVI
>JRPG
I don't give a shit about ff16
I give a shit about you spamming you care about turn based games only to boycott the ones that are not nintendo exclusive
how can people boycott a game for a console you don't own?
>ryza deleted already
>fe spam allowed
Of course
>outsells the total sales of the xenoblade franchise in under one week
How? Xenoblade 2 sold roughly 2M copies. FFXVI sold 3M in it's first month and it never sold more after that.
you're fucking stupid
xenoblade 3 outsold ff16 in japan
xenoblade 3 520k
ff16 414k
And yet FFXVI outsold it globally. Almost like there was a reason Yoshi P made a GoT game meant to appeal to westerners. Who gives a fuck about solely Japan numbers? You're going to tell me gacha games are good next?
>Final Fantasy is in the shit
What about the pixel remaster
If Square Enix dies I hope Monolith gets Xenogears (You guys know Monolith an actual competent and good Dev). I hope Nintendo gets Team Asano and some SE franchise. The rest can be thrown away.
I certainly think guys like Nomura would be better off at Monolith.
Piss off monolithshill
They've honestly had this coming for a really long time now, but not because of the Nintendo stuff. Nintendo deserved everything bad that happened to it because of how corporate and greedy they were. Square Enix genuinely thought that the complete garbage that was Forspoken was going to be a massive success, so they get what they deserve.
While watching SE fall to shit in real time is fun I hope none of this messes with DQXII in any way.
At last, he got last laugh. Thank you Mr. Yamauchi.
He was right about everything
his golden goose is next
Thank you Mr Yamauchi
Square-Enix deserved to die a fucking decade ago. That they are still alive today is a testament to how awful this industry really is.
pikmin 4 didn't even sell 1 million worldwide. I guess that makes it a mega flop compared to ff16.
DQ will bail them out.
Yamauchi is in the afterlife laughing right now or he could just be at Namco HQ Haunting Harada.
>remaster ports are hit-or-miss
>Final Fantasy is pretty much middling now
>new IPs get immediately shafted
>AA games get panned or are mediocre
I don't know, man. If not for Saga being available on PC, I don't think I'd be buying anything Square. I only care for the Tri Ace games nowadays.
I'm just here for Dragon Quest and Team Asano tbh
Dragon Quest is cool too.
The Japanese Devs will bow to the Nintendo overlord or they will die. No amount of PS money or the West will save them. It is funny how these Japanese Developers to this day hate and fear this dude even after he has been dead and gone for so long. They just fear a powerful Nintendo again.
From and Capcom never needed to kneel to Nintendo
that's because from and capcom copy paste the same game over and over again but from actually makes good games
capcom makes shit and retards buy it because nostalgia
No need to sperg this much about Capcom when nintendo is the one that exploits nostalgia the most
>nintendo exploits nostalgia the most
>changing zelda mario every one or two games
you're legally brain dead son
Yeah anon because re1, re4 and re7 plays the same
the difference moron is you are comparing games that went from 9 years to 13 years every time it changes
you are genuinely stupid and like crappy games with crappy sequels with even more fucking retarded reboots that make no fucking sense
MH is better than every first party Nintendo IP combined
I love capcom and square enix games
Fight me
I guess if atelier were nintendo exclusive you wouldn't spam cado, right?
cry about antiFFbro or turnbasesissy! yamauchi was a dick and everyone should have appreciated what hayao nakayama wanted for the industry (arcade themeparks) until soa/kalinske disvowed him of his wish
If Switch 2 turns out to be how the insiders say in terms of capability any Jap Dev that does not put their games on it just has a death wish at that point. At least Square will have some place where their shit high-budget slop games might sell.
You gotta laugh at fanboys, man. I know this is a bait thread, but Japanese culture is not like American. Both of these companies would not get in the way of each other for global capital since they are both from Japan. Square-Enix's failure were brought by their own incompetence and continued mistakes.
>it sold piss poor but it's ok because the ps5 sold like shit too
the shareholders won't be happy about this one
This
If anything FFXVI should have sold even more because of the game drought, what other games are PS5 players even playing? I'm a square fan and even I realize this is no good.
>literally damage control PR given to IGN only and before the financial reports dropped
The Industry is not going to cater onto a hotheaded ceo whom wanted everything and got nothing, it was unironcally Yamguchi's nintendo is why the gaming world is still in the mess it's in for 20 years after 2001 including allowing silicon valley games/ mentality on n64, among others like allowing conker's bad fur day to enable this weird white/garden gnome mentality that what's consider "degenerate" and gratuitous is considered natural. naka had the right idea with games like girl's garden whilst the majority of gen y antisonicbros who made sonic hate parodies in the 2000s like to think any of what's going on right now is supposed to be "beautiful" without being laughed at by their non-nerd families is an acceptable way for an adult gamer to live! lmao
Sonic only exists to be a constant reminder that Mario is better.
Mario if he Sonic
>posts gif with a move you are never emphasized using at all thoughout the game
okay anon, now tell me how great the mario movie was and when the last time Ganker was defending it lol
The only Mario movie I will defend is the 1993 one.
the entire japanese game industry exists just to remind people nintendo is the only decent ones left
>garden gnometendo
>decent
kys shittendie. duel princess got pulled and hasn't been reinstated yet.
okay but there will never be another good final fantasy
baited out of boredom only to see a dying thread from the same person *claps*
>How is it that Nintendo made it out of the Square betrayal alive and better than ever?
They are better-rounded.
It's interesting how for the better part of two decades it was widely considered Nintendo was the "bad guy" in the Square x Nintendo falling out, but over the years as we learn more about it it's become clear that Square was equally to blame.
nintendo is the villain of the entire industry since commercializing itself to america, along with the esa and silicon valley mentality, all i see in this thread is sour grapes from zoomers raised from uncles and gen y-x adults
The absolute state of the FF franchise. Remember when it was the shit not anymore it ain't.
should have made tactics ogre 2
How is Square Enix in deep shit? Weren't they reporting record profits just recently?
no
the last time they had record profits was in fy 2017 thanks to ff15
Lol, no. They never recovered from the 1-2 punch of the XIII trilogy and the original XIV release.
Unironically and without memes, what does this mean for the future of SE?
Not much in the short term. Investor report was that they intend to continue their planned trajectory for XVI of porting it to other systems, and dial back on having so many new IP midbudget titles.
SE recently said they are doubling down on AAA development and less on AA games, so the teams like Octopath devs and so on are gonna be moved to AAA dev but that will take years to show results, in the meanwhile their current pipeline is 3 AAA games that has been in development for the last 5 years that will release with the next year or 2 in addition to them wanting to bolster SEs existing ip instead of diverting into new IP
